This.  To expand on this, also:

The Mayan calendars were made starting with a short calendar and then combining that calendar with others to make longer time spans.  The Long calendar, even if it was accurately going to end in 2012, just meant that was their longest combination created.  This could be for a variety of reasons such as they saw no need to expand a calendar any further since it was going so far ahead of their current time frame anyways.

Oh no! I ran my credit cards up for nothing! and now I have to completely rethink my wardrobe :( 

.

isn't it just about mayan cycles

2012 was just the end and beginning of one

the humans will just move to another solar system by the time our sun has had it,if humans even need a sun to live by that time i'd be surprised

Anyway , remember all the stupid people saying a black hole would form when they launched the LHC ? The force needed to start a black hole big enough to swallow the earth has to be an exploding star way bigger than the Sun. 

Well If the human race wants to keep in existence , than space exploration and colonization of other planets is very important. The chance that we will be able to see the sun exploding is very small if we keep sitting here on Earth. We could get hit by an astroid , a solar flare , a gamma ray , or a quasar.

And if non of that happens , we always could destroy  ourselves with a nuclear war. 

This is a logically flawed argument but: What would they know about the end of the world?

maybe they just didnt know what number came after 2012? like, maybe they lost count or ran out of marbles or something.

Well danm,this just proves the Mayans were more advanced and intelligent than modern people.

I fucking hate how preachy that 2012 film was.

Anyway, they never EVER predicted the end of the world! gah this is so fabricated.

You necro's this thread for that lame pic?  Ugh...
