Selon de récents calculs, la fin du monde prévue dans le calendrier maya aura lieu... en 2116.
La  présumée date fatidique du 21 décembre 2012 était le résultat d'une  erreur de 104 ans, rectifiée par deux scientifiques allemands, grâce à  un code maya conservé à la bibliothèque de Dresde.
Ils ont publié le résultat de leurs recherches dans la revue Astronomische Nachrichtenles, reportant ainsi la fin du monde.


According to recent calculations, the end the world according to the Mayan Calendar will happen in... 2116.
The presumed fatal date of December 21st 2012 was the result of a 104 years calculation error, rectified by two german scientists, with the help of a mayan codex preserved in Dresde library.
They published their research results in the Astronomische Nachrichtenles magazine, pushing back the end of the world.

If this gets wide publicity, you'll suddenly see a whole bunch of nuts who are trying to profit off of 2012 desperately try to come up with reasons why the calculation error isn't an error after all. :)

That's all we need. Now when the end fails to happen next year they'll just extend it.
But....I guess its better we have a set extension date so far in the future rather than letting them just pick 2016 or the like  and get worked up for that.

There will always be people who believe the end is nigh. The Mayan calendar thing is a pretext, not a reason.

Jehova's Witnesses used to predict the end of the world every now and then during the 80s.  Wonder what they invented to get out of this mess.

True to an extent. Big ones with 'proof' like 2012 get so much more attention than just random nutters picking a date off a calendar though.
