Will the world end next week? Remember the hullabaloo about the Year 2012? If you recall correctly, a movie was even made depicting the apocalypse and end of the world, based on the Mayan calendar.
Well, the world missed the appointment of its demise – projected to be December 21, 2012 and we all moved on with our lives. However, there were some who tried to explain that something indeed happened. They claimed the world as we knew it ended and a new order or something along those lines began.
In any case, whatever you believe, there’s a new conspiracy theory heating up social media, Twitter in particular, claiming that the reading of the Mayan calendar was wrong.
According to an article in newyorkpost.com the conspiracy theory on Twitter, doomsday is sometime this week or next. So, if you’re one of those who think COVID-19, civil unrest, locusts, volcanic eruptions and hurricanes signalled Armageddon — you may be right
“Following the Julian Calendar, we are technically in 2012… The number of days lost in a year due to the shift into Gregorian Calendar is 11 days… For 268 years using the Gregorian Calendar (1752-2020) times 11 days = 2,948 days. 2,948 days / 365 days (per year) = 8 years,” scientist Paolo Tagaloguin tweeted last week according to the Sun. The series of tweets has since been deleted.
If Tagaloguin is correct, adding up all the missed days, then the Mayan doomsday date is … this week.
In 2012, doomsday theorists were convinced the world was ending on December 21, and hordes of believers flocked to Mayan sites in Mexico and Guatemala — only to be left disappointed and dirty due to the lack of sanitation at ancient Mayan pyramids.
