They calculated their own date according to their own beliefs.

I don't believe anything will happen on that date. As a Christian, I look for possibly prophetic events, but my guess would be the chance of an antichrist on the scene this year is very slim. My understanding of the prophecies shows that the European Union will strengthen (akin to a transition from the Articles of Confederation to the US Constitution period), the Islamic nations of the Middle East and Northern Africa will get closer together and eventually form a non Turkish Ottoman Empire (which will hold the region together a whole lot easier). China will grow stronger. Oil gets scarcer, and the global economy fails. At that point, enter Antichrist, global govt conglomerates race to the Middle East to claim oil, Armageddon. If this all happened, the best bet in timeframe would be in the 2020's.

The Mayan weren't Christian.

My family heritage is from the region of the Mayans. The stories I heard from my father and grandfather, stories of ancient times. The calender is the end of a life cycle. What is to happen is a beautiful thing, from the stories I heard. I have never heard stories about human sacrifice , only from people that know not.

I'm banking on 2012, to coincide with the solstice for a really cool end. But the Mayan did not think that it was the END but a dramatic change. Some think the re-emergence of magic. ;)

No one knows the date that the world will "end". God will come when everything has happened that he's planned. The Mayans were pagans, and worshiped false god's, so God never "inspired"
them.

Two calendars the Mayans used;
The Tzolkin which ends on the 12th of Oct 2011
The Ha'ab Calendar which ends on Dec 21st 2012
Either way, not a bunch of time to go is it?

Whatever happened to the great Mayan civilization? Seems that the practice of human sacrifice did then in. And nobody knows why.... or at least is not going to say why.

there is nothing predicting the end of the world in 2012. there is an end to a cycle

Any one can be inspired by God. Christians and Non-Christians. Also, how do you know they weren't Christians anyway?

I could come up with a date...
June 7th 2756
Does that mean that "he" inspired it and that I'm Christian? No and no.
