I thought the Mayans always went for the 21th of December 2012 for the world to end

I don't think they ever said the world would end"Professional Mayanist scholars state that predictions of impending doom are not found in any of the extant classic Maya accounts, and that the idea that the Long Count calendar "ends" in 2012 misrepresents Maya history and culture. Astronomers and other scientists have rejected the proposed events (an asteroid or planet hitting earth) as pseudoscience, stating that they are contradicted by simple astronomical observations"

The prediction was destroyed"In point of fact, though we have many instances of the Maya recording 13.0.0.0.0 for August 11, 3114 BC, there is only one text known to record the 13.0.0.0.0 date for December 21, 2012 AD. It was found on Monument 6 from Tortuguero and the text is broken right after the date is mentioned, occulting the event that was to have been referenced"

I like the Mayan texts as they have some great picture symbols on them
