WHOOPS !! Missed it !! Death of Doom !
THere have been about 514 Leap years since Caesar created it in 45 BC. Without the extra day every 4 years, today would be 7/28/2013.

Since the Mayans did not account for Leap year in their calendar, the world ended about 7 months ago .....

I think they took that into the calculations.

Would make no sense otherwise, dec 21 2012 is full equinox cycle + alignment with sun, centre galaxy etc.

Plus Mayans did not use the 365 day calender for anything other then crops, but (mostly) 260 days. They also knew the length was longer then 365.0 :


"A period of 59 by 260 days equals a period of 42 tropical years, of 365.242 days" <which is more accurate then the count we have today.

It wouldn't be 2013, it would be 2011. If you take away the extra leap days, we would go back in time, not forward.
