That was another narrative push. More accurately is the tzolkin, the "mayan calender" reset on Dec. 21, 2012. Same as a clock striking 12 o'clock. The Maya, did not have some prophecy that the world was ending. However what occurred at that moment is very complex and takes entire books to describe the how and what it all represents and is of coarse interpretation
The Mayan calendar ending in 2012 marked the conclusion of a 5,125-year-long cycle (the Mesoamerican Long Count), symbolizing the end of an era and the beginning of a new one, not a literal doomsday.
They keep saying 2024 on here every time Looking Glass is brought up here lately for some reason. I agree though, I remember specifically 2012.
Didn't the ancient Mayan calendar end in 2012? I vaguely remember something about that...
