Remember when everyone thought the apocalypse was going to happen on December 21, 2012 because it was predicted by a Mayan calanendar? Well, A scientist recalculated the dates based on a different calendar he believes the Mayans were using and he says the date they actually predicted for the apocalypse was this upcoming Sunday.
Back when the Mayans made their prediction, he believes they were using the Julian calendar, which was the main calendar of the time. The world switched to the Gregorian calendar in 1582, and several days were lost. So, quote, “Following the Julian calendar, we are technically in 2012.” If that’s right, the date that they believed was “December 21, 2012” is June 21, 2020, which is this Sunday.
Because the only thing missing from 2020 is the Mayan apocalypse.
