A theory about an event will forever remain a theory until that event actually happens in reality. This pertains to the 2012 theory about the Mayan prophecies.

The Mayan Calendar invented by this ancient people is a very reliable tool used to measure the cycles of various aspects of life and other events that will happen in the future.

The prophecies about 2012 made by the Mayans state that the end of the world will happen on December 12, 2012. This was based on the Meso-American method of charting which started in 680 B.C.

The Mayans are highly skilled in keeping track of the seasons especially the winter solstice and an extremely intelligent people, who invented their own calendar now known as The Long Count.

The ancient Mayans were the first to discover the wobbling movement of the earth when it moves on its axis.

Most previous predictions indicate that the world will meet its inevitable end on December 21, 2012. This will be brought about by various disasters, like tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, cosmic catastrophes and other extraordinary occurrences.
