Remember back when everyone was talking about an ancient Mayan prediction that the world would end on December 21, 2012? Well, the world didn’t end! But, according to a scientist in Tennessee the Mayans got the date wrong!
According to The Sun, a scientist in Knoxville, Tennessee named Paolo Tagalougin, who’s now deleted his Twitter (kinda sketchy to do that) redid the calculations. Paolo says that the REAL date of the Mayan apocalypse is this upcoming Sunday! Wait, what… and he’s just now telling us?! The reason for the “date change” is because back when the Mayans made their prediction, he believes they were using the Julian calendar, which was the main calendar of the time. The world switched to the Gregorian calendar in 1582, and several days were lost.
Paolo told The Sun, “Following the Julian calendar, we are technically in 2012.” If that’s right, the date that they believed was “December 21, 2012” is June 21, 2020…which is this Sunday! I mean, why am I not surprised this is making headlines. The only thing missing in 2020 is the Mayan apocalypse.
