A strange new theory circulating online argues that the Mayan Calendar did not actually come to an end eight years ago and, in fact, is actually set to conclude next week. For those who may have missed the mania that enveloped the esoteric community at the turn of the century, the end of the Mayan calendar was a doomsday theory which suggested that the world was going to end on December 21st, 2012. In the years leading up to that date, the concept spawned a veritable cottage industry of books, movies, and TV specials along with all manner of speculation about what would happen when the big moment arrived.
As one has likely surmised, the doomsday warning was ultimately relegated to the dustbin of weird history after 12/21/12 unfolded and the world did not end. However, like a horror movie villain appearing after seemingly being vanquished, the idea that the end of the Mayan calendar will usher in Armageddon has been reborn thanks to an odd theory that recently popped up online and captured the imagination of people online and the mainstream media.
