The world does not end in 2012 
End
marketing and collective hysteria. All turned out to be a miscalculation about the Mayan calendar that the world will end in 2012: Just takes doing a Google search for understood the immense amount of people who believe, suspect or question whether the world will end 2012. A ball that became great after all kinds of nonsensical speculation where the usual suspects appear: Nostradamus, aliens, Annunaki, secret algorithms in the Bible, astrloogía, and so on. All of this magnified by "documentary" of dubious origin, "researchers" from the TV show "compelling evidence" Salfate typical on the world order and who knows how much more foolish. But one of the favorite arguments of the doomsayers who tell us that the world ends in 2012 is that the Mayan calendar ends that year and that is final proof that things are finished. Well, seems to be to change the date. 
Andreas Fuis , a German researcher found that the correspondence of the Western calendar with the Maya is miscalculated. Has always believed that the Mayan calendar begins on 11 August 3114 BC, but after studying the tables showing the position of Venus in the sky concludes that there is an error of 208 years.
Fuis studied Mayan tables showing the position of Venus in the sky, which has allowed the association of astronomical events, with dates Maya and has concluded that there is an error of 208 years at the time origin of the Mayan calendar.
the same way that we count in base 10, the Maya counted in base 20 and that was reflected in their calendar. Thus, every 20 years formed a katun, and every 20 katun a baktun ie, a baktun is a period of 400 years (actually about 394 years, because a Mayan year lasted 360 days).
If the Mayan calendar begins to run on August 11, 3114 BC until today have been 12 and 19 katun baktuns, so we are about to enter the next baktun, 13. It is estimated that this change will occur baktun December 21, 2012.
And here is where errors. According to them the Mayan calendar only goes up to baktun 12, which ends at the end of this calendar. This is not possible, because baktuns also form groups of 20, so that we still have 7 baktuns (about 2800 years) ahead until the end of that cycle.
What happens next? Did he finish the Mayan calendar? The answer again is no because the Mayan calendar includes accounts of time even higher, thus forming a Piktun baktuns 20, 20 Piktun a kalabtún, 20 kalabtuns a kinchinltún, and 20 kinchinltuns a Alautun. How long is that? leaving about 64 million years ...
short, the Mayan calendar does not end in 2012, ends in 2220.
