New Reading of Mayan Calendar Suggests That the End of the World is This Weekend<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As if 2020 wasn’t bad enough, now we have crackpot scientists spinning doomsday-themed hoaxes, superstitions and tall tales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(TMU<\/a>) \u2013<\/strong> 2020 has really been one hell of a year. Not only have we seen a global pandemic that\u2019s showing little signs of losing steam, but we\u2019ve also seen social unrest, people\u2019s livelihoods vanish into thin air, a tanking economy, plagues of locusts, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and massive firestorms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you think that we might be heading fast toward Armageddon, who can blame you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But according to some conspiracy theorists on Twitter, the Mayan prophecy about a cataclysmic end of the world that supposedly would bring the world to a crashing halt on Dec. 21, 2012, was actually misinterpreted \u2013 instead, the calendar theorizers suggest, the Mayan doomsday will supposedly happen this week or next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a series of tweets last week that has since been deleted, scientist Paolo Tagaloguin wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFollowing the Julian Calendar, we are technically in 2012.\u00a0The number of days lost in a year due to the shift into Gregorian Calendar is 11 days.\u00a0For 268 years using the Gregorian Calendar (1752-2020) times 11 days = 2,948 days. 2,948 days \/ 365 days (per year) = 8 years.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a since deleted tweet, scientist Paolo Tagaloguin reportedly said: \u201cFollowing the Julian Calendar, we are technically in 2012.

\u201cThe number of days lost in a year due to the shift into Gregorian Calendar is 11 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following this theory, June 21, 2020 would actually be December 21, 2012, a date you may recognize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
