The Truth About 2012 Doomsday Hype

             December 21, 2012. On this day, scientists predict that the world will end or at least cause some type of destruction. There might be cataclysmic volcanism or a great flood. One reason that they think this will happen is because of the Mayans. Apparently, their calender ends exactly on the 21st of December 2012. The Mayans never said that the world will end, but that is what people infer. They don't know what other meaning it could have. Another reason is that a non-existent planet supposedly discovered by the ancient Sumerians, called Nibiru will encounter the Earth and wreak havoc. So, will doomsday really happen or is it just another failed prediction?

             I think that all of this is untrue and nothing will happen in 2012. I say this because I have learned that before there have been many doomsday predictions, 10 to be exact, and they all have failed. Also, in the article, it states that the Mayan calendar ends like our calendar and probably just starts all over again. All in all, I think that nothing will happen.
