My question would be that: If the Mayans did indeed predict the end of the world ....... Well.... consider this ..... there have been about 514 leap years since Julius Caesar created it in 45BC. Without that extra day every 4 years today would be July 28th, 2013. Also, the Mayan calendar did not account for leap year days .... so technically shouldn't the world have ended 7 months ago if the Mayan prediction was accurate?????
The Mayan calendar is more accurate than the Julian (or is it Gregorian?) calendar. They don’t have leap years because it’s based on planetary/lunar/solar movements. The leap year is supposed to account for an error in our common calendar. Something like 1/4 of a day off every year. So it’s not that the date of Dec. 21, 2012 is important... it’s the number of winter solstices and the “final” one just happens to fall on that date.
