For years there have been speculations that concentrate around the end of the world, the planet being wiped out by an asteroid or submerging in huge tidal waves and resultant earthquakes. Maya (Mayan) were a diverse group of indigenous people who lived prior to 2000 BC, and predicted future events. They were the ones who established complex societies, made monumental architecture, used Hieroglyphic writing and used the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. This Long Count calendar identifies a day by counting the number of days passed since a mythical creation date. They believed that some cataclysmic or transformative events would occur on or around 21 December 2012 and it was regarded as the end cycle of the Mayan calendar, corresponding to the end of the world. #ICanNotDieBefore Trends Online, Twitterati List Down Things They Want to Do Fulfill Before Their Last Breath (No, Doomsday is Not Near).
