It was a Mayan calendar that only went to the year 2012...The Jewish calendar is in the year 5770..The chinese adopted the Western Calendar in 1911 but had the same date as the Jewish Calendar until then.
You have to remember the years started counting for Christians after the death of Christ, it is NOT year 2010 to anyone else in time.
The year 2012 for the Mayans and the Aztec is LONG gone and past.
Encyclopedia:
Prehistoric groups in this area characterized by agricultural villages and large ceremonial and politico-religious capitals. This culture area included some of the most complex and advanced cultures of the Americas, including the Olmec, Teotihuacan, the Maya, and the Aztec.

That's what I always thought. I was under the impression that a religious group (Jehovah's Witnesses maybe?) also believed that our calendar year of 2012 was the end of the world.

Well, it was supposed to be Anno Domini, the year of our Lord meaning his birth year. The Romans weren't too good at figuring the 365th day every 4 years, so it was corrected by the Gregorian calendar and so Anno Domini is actually around 3 BC(Before Christ). As far as 2012, according to the Discovery channel our 2012 is the corrected year that would be the equivalent to the end of the Mayan calendar. But it isn't just the Maya's according to the Discovery channel special. The Egyptian and Chinese calendars had an approximate end of time roughly the same. I don't believe any of it, but it does pose the question as to why all those astronomers from different places around the world had roughly corresponding end of years.

I said the calendar ends. It's been some peoples modern interpretation that the meaning of that must lead to the world coming to an end. The mayans never said anything about the world coming to an end. Infact they believed that the world had been destroyed and recreated many times before.

I'm not saying I believe it, I was simply referring to the OP's reference and the modern interpretation.

No, it ended on purpose. And the purpose was that at the end of this calendar that there would be a great awakening. It's really quite interesting, the notion of time acceleration and the awakening of the comsic conciousness. If you're truely interested there are many books on the subject. The Mayan Code is a good place to start.

Bah, its all hogwash.
Jehoviah's whitness' believe that there is room for only 250,000 people in heaven. Its full so why join their religion?
Bhudists believe in reincarnation, or was it the Hindu?
Christianity has many references to "the appocolypse" but some of those dates have passed.
Judism i have no knowledge of so I cannot comment on it.
Islam is just wierd, but some things make sense.
All in all, I think Kevin Smith had it correct. In the movie Dogma he had the muse make a great speech. "its not important in what you believe in, its more important to God to just believe in something." So as long as you believe in something, your all good for the here after. Then again, if your an aithist, i hope reincarnation works for you and you come back as a tree. This way you can be turned into paper and have either the bible, koran, or .... carp forgot the jewish book printed on you forever. - Dane Cook

There are no dates in Christianity. Unless you call "the last days" a date. Further Jesus said the date of the end of the world is known by God Almighty alone. Not even Jesus knows. ROFL, dates have passed. I needed a good chuckle before bed. Thanks.

Todays date of 2010 AD is calculated AFTER the DEATH of Christ. Then you have Before Christ BC as the dates before. Most of us use Before the common Era and After the Common Era ...because everyone is not Christian.
I was unaware that the Mayan calendar had been calculated with the present time and dates.
It is written that no man knows the date and time God will destroy humanity from the Earth, no not the Angels in heaven. Therefore I conclude that the end for us could come today or any day except the one predicted.

I don't understand why people throw up religion bases on the calander of the Myans. No where in the information that we have did the Mayans predict necissarily predict doom. I challenge anyone here to pick up a good book by Barbara Clow or her colleagues and at least try to understand what their purpose was for creating it before they dismiss it off as nonsense. I think that they might find that the answeres aren't so black and white after all.
