Will the Mayan 2012 Prophecy Come True?

By Maya Prodgers

Some believe that the world will end based on the fact that the Mayan Long Count Calendar ends on December 21, 2012. But is this really a prediction for the end of the world? The problem with any prophecy is that until the time of the predicted event has been and gone, there is no way for sure that we can say that they will or will not come true. But there are things that we can look at for a guideline, things that we know to be true.

Here's the story. The Mayans as a people existed for thousands of years and were already around two thousand years before Christ. In their time. they were one of the most advanced people in the world and understood abstract concepts, such as the value of zero, long before other civilizations did.
