The Mayan Prediction Is All Hype Because The Mayans Did Not Have A 12-month Calendar.
They did not know what December meant. And December means 10 on top of it.

Oh no! They didn't plan their calendar for centuries ahead of time! We'll all die for their lack of foresight!

I've never been presented with any *real* evidence of the 2012 apocalypse. Then again, we did all die in Y2K

Plus they could have predicted their demise as a culture if they were so good at predicting.

 The cause of their "demise" has been debated for years. No one really knows. Perhaps, the did not meet their demise. Some beleive that Mayans physically ascended to a higher plane.

Ignoring the calendar argument entirely, there are other, more important reasons this is all hype...

The mayan calendar is a calendar based on the movements of the planets, moon and stars. The calendar is accurate to date. The only thing that our astrologers are basing the end of world prediction on is that the calendar ends on that date. I'm not saying that the world would end on 12-21-2010, but that the mayans may have foreseen an event that would change our perspective of the heavens, thus making the calendar impossible to determine after that date.

No, they did not have the same calendar that we have but there were adjustments made in the calculations to come up with the December 2012 date. If you get a chance look up Mayan Calendar and long count.
