21st December- Another fake end of the world

21st December claimed to be the end of the world, has come out to be another fake incident regarding the end of the world. In fact it can be considered as the prank of the decade.

Based on certain Maya calendars scholars  and people around the world start spreading and believing that world is really going to end on 21st December 2012 by some natural disaster or by some divine force. There was even a movie grossing $769 million on the box-office based on the prediction.


But as it turns out, it is another fake end of the world like in past predicted many times before and after the outburst of internet.
Now, the truth regarding the date, according to renowned Maya scholar and University of Texas at Austin art history professor David Stuart, is that the day is indeed meaningful -- but not in the way you might think.

"The Maya never actually predicted the end of times," says Stuart, who recently won a UNESCO medal for his lifetime contributions to the study of ancient Maya culture and archaeological sites, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites. "In the Maya scheme of time, the approaching date was thought to be the turn of an important cycle, or as they put it, the end of 13 bak'tuns. The thing is, there are many more bak'tuns still to come."
The past has seen a lot of such predictions and they have all continued to be fake. Guess we should now get over these things and not let anyone get the best of ourselves by no believing any of this non-sense again.

Some of the past such incidents as reported are:-

1. 4th Feb1962- American astrologer Jean Dixon predicts that eight planetary alignments that day and the world could end.

2. 9th August 1969- American George Williams says that Jesus will return earth on that day and everyone not believing in Jesus will have to die.

3. 10th March 1982- Due to the alignment of Earth and Jupiter on this day, it was predicted that their gravitational force thus produced will shift the Earth from its axis resulting in destruction. There was even a book written called Jupiter effect.

4.28th April 1986- It was predicted that Halie named asteroid will stirke Earth and destroy a large landmass of the Earth

5. The New Millennium- The end of the world on 31st December 1999 was so popular that several people didn't even made their task lists for the coming days. It was discussed for about a decade and people believed that new Millennium was the day of rebirth of Jesus. Like usual nothing happened.

6. 2003- The rumors of the collision of the earth with a planet Nibiru were spread. Internet was first really used for the apocalyptic events.
