I highly doubt it. My theory is that since Jesus said "No man knows the day or the Hour..." That the least likely time that He will return is when someone has predicted it.

Yes, the Mayans. Actually, they have predicted virtually every other solar event to this day correctly and are currently off by only one second. No, I don't think the world will necessarily end in 2012. I think they just stopped their calendar there. They didn't even say that the world would end then. I mean, you can only go so far in advance! Two thousand plus years is plenty. Besides, I am a Christian and I know that the world will end with Jesus' return, and nobody knows or is capable of knowing the day.

Who ever told you this was no history major, that's for sure.
Its the Mayan calender, not the Aztec.
It simply stopped at 2012 because they ran out of wall to carve more on. There are no writings or other evidence to support the idea that the Mayans had any belief that the world was going to end at all.
This is just speculation by new agers who are desperately looking for something to believe in.

The calendar in my kitchen stops on December 31, 2007. However, I'm not preparing for Armageddon. I wouldn't worry about predictions made by people. If you are Christian, which I think you are due to your reference to the bible, then it is as Jesus said and no one would know when he was going to come back and trigger the apocalypse, especially not the Pagan Aztecs. They probably just decided to stop for whatever reason.

It was the Mayan Calendar that ends in 2012. Even though the Mayan calendar was extremely accurate, I wouldnt put much thought into the 2012 date. Only God knows when the end of the world will be.

Mayan calendar ends in 2012, the aztecs predicted their own demise early before that down to the facial features of the men who conquered them. Who knows at this point, they were amazing astronomers.

If you believe the Bible, there is going to be a rapture, when all the Christians will be taken up to Heaven. That will start seven years of Tribulation, when Satan will rule. After seven years, Christ will come back and defeat Satan, and lock him up for a thousand years, while Christ sets up His millennium Kingdom. After the thousand years, Satan will be released, and he will go about deceiving the world. This will be followed by Armageddon, when Satan and his fallen angels will be cast into the Lake of Fire. After that, this world will be destroyed, and there will be a new Heaven and a new Earth.

Yeah, the "end of the world" crap pops up for all sorts of different reasons --- the end of a century, the end of ten centuries, a specific date, an anniversary, a prediction from the past --- in this case, it's the end of a calendar created by a prehistoric society.
If you believe it, I can put you in touch with some survivalists who still have left-over canned food from the Y2K scam they want to get rid of....

I believe it was both the Aztec's and the Mayan's calender that did that. Regardless, I say live it up legally, and enjoy life, otherwise you can't die happy. Accept death and enjoy life, then you die, you die happy, knowing you and others had fun...
But I think that they may be right, but they were wrong [was it the mayans, I think?], that thought the Conquistador was Quetzacoatl.
