When in 2012 no predicted Doomsday happened, millions of people breathed a sigh of relief and then began to scold everyone who predicted the Apocalypse. But maybe they hurried and "the devil was in the details"?
Many probably remember what the excitement was about in the early 2000s about Mayan calendar … The fact is that this ancient calendar ended at the time interval that some researchers calculated as year 2012.
For this year, hundreds of home-grown experts predicted the End of the World of varying severity, from the invasion of Nibiru and the arrival of aliens, to the most powerful world cataclysms like a flood, earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
But recently a hypothesis appeared on the network that in fact these calculations were "slightly" wrong and the End of the World according to the Mayan calendar was set for 2020.
The fact that 2020 is really very different in intensity of events from other years, at least over the past 20 years, will not be noticed only by the blind and the deaf: Aggravations in the Middle East, endless unrest in developed countries, endless large-scale natural disasters from fires and floods to record temperatures, all against the backdrop of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
It all started when a biologist Paolo Tagaloguin in early June, he said on his Twitter that according to the Julian calendar we are now technically in 2012, not 2020.
"The number of days that we lose in a year when switching from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar is 11 years. For 268 years according to the Gregorian calendar (from 1752 to 2020), the difference was 2948 days, and if we divide them by 365 days a year, we get 8 years".
After that, some other users also noticed this detail, and when one of them wrote that then it turns out the End of the World according to the Mayan calendar is postponed to 2020, then this theory began to spread widely and became viral on social networks.
The date 1752 is taken because it was from that year that Great Britain and its colonies (including North American ones) switched to the Gregorian calendar, which at that time constituted a significant part of the Western world.
According to previous calculations of scientists, the Mayan calendar calculated a cycle of 5126 years and ended on December 21, 2012. It turns out that we have to wait for December.
"Yes, we only have six months left." - users write on Twitter.
By the way, when in December 2012 the Apocalypse did not take place, scientists studying the Mayan culture stated that in fact the calendar does not indicate the End of Times, and its end at a certain date only marks the end of a particular era, after which a new era will begin.
