Sorry to break it to you, folks, but the Mayan Calendar has apparently issued a new prediction that the world will in fact be ending next week.
Just to add the cherry on top of the god awful cake 2020 has already been.
Keep scrolling for more on the mysterious Mayan Calendar, and to read their eerie prediction for yourself...
The Mayan Calander has made its fair share of ominous predictions...
As most of you will probably recall, the Mayans came forward with a rather grim prediction for 2012.
Not very Christmassy, are they?
The 2012 "end of the world" became somewhat of a phenomenon...
The way in which the world would end wasn't specified in the calendar...
And, of course, the huge asteroid plummeting into Earth was a popular theory, too.
As the infamous date approached, tensions surrounding the end of the world rose...
And many people were genuinely preparing for the end, with some throwing doomsday parties and others stockpiling on supplies and building underground bunkers.But, the 21st of December arrived...
And, guess what? The world didn't end after all!Most of us breathed a sigh of relief and went on to enjoy our Christmas worry-free...
is world ending or not what's the update on that— Rekt-angle Bro (@Rekt-angle Bro)1592207202.0
Well, with a considerate week-long warning...
It has been revealed that the calendar actually predicted that the world will be ending on Sunday, June 21st, 2020, not 2012. It's been nice knowing you all.Now, I know what many of you will be thinking...
How on Earth could the ancient calendar get something so huge so drastically wrong? And why are we only hearing about this now?!Well, it's all thanks to some pretty complicated calculations.
In a series of tweets, which have now been deleted, Tagalougin explained:
So, putting it simply...
A number of days on the Mayan Calendar were lost as a result of the Georgian Calendar, meaning that the Mayan version is 8 whole years behind... That means the 2012 prediction should actually happen this year. Basically, in Mayan terms, we are only in 2012.Since Tagalougin's claims, the internet has descended into an end of the world frenzy...
@BKayZone End of the world next week? I believe it.— Karen (@Karen)1592186418.0
The world is a pretty ghastly place at the moment...
So many would be happy to see an end to it.But not everyone is too convinced.
As these things always do, the recalculated prediction has been met with a lot of scrutiny and cynics.The Mayan's previous predictions haven't helped with people's faith in their claims...
