Didnt yall here they found more of the Mayan calendar so instead of it being the apocalypse is like New Year's Day

They didn't find more calendar's, they've always been aware of them. There's multiple calendars, and at the end of each cycle, a natural disaster *supposedly* happens (just like how a natural disaster happens at least once a year). At the end of this calendar, the Mayans *supposedly* predicted a larger natural disaster than the one at the end of the last calendar's cycle, however they have calendars continuing for a very long time after this one, filled with more predictions that go on far passed our lifetimes. Media decided to take it, and hype it up 100 times on end to sell books and movies. There's countless stories corelating to the topic, reason being, so many people make up rumors for it. Some Mayan "experts" have said it's an inaccurate prediction that has been given a lot of hype and exaggeration, while other say the entire thing is made up, and the date is of no significance by any means. Then there's the few that believe it's true, and promote it, most of which are authors of books or people that had spent thousands of dollars protecting themselves for Y2K.

When it comes down to it, the media skewes the truth to no end if it means money and notice for them, which is why I said "*supposedly*" numerous times. No one really knows the actual truth about it except for legitimate scientists that have studied and translated the texts. If it were really a possibility, I know we wouldn't have spent billions of dollars this year on Christmas presents, and the news wouldn't have to report things about Kate Middleton being pregnant as a news filler. The whole thing's a joke, just like the many other times they've predicted the Apocalypse.
