Ah, ok. That was long before europeans ever encountered the mayans, though, so the date translation would have used our current calendar.

Well shit. For some reason I had it in my head that the Gregorian calendar was invented around the time of the schism in the 11th century. Orthodox churches still use the julian calendar.
In other news, the cern website is posting bulletins from the future.
The 2012 thing has nothing to do with the number 2012 though, it's the year 5026 (or something) on the Mayan Calandar. If our calander were different it would just mean Emmerich would have to rename his shitty movie.Originally Posted by Shin Johnpv
Like you said it's retarded anyway, because there is no Mayan doom prediction, it's just the equivalent of a Y2K thing where their odometer flips. They use some kind of base-13 numbering system and this is when they'd go back to 0000. Somewhere along the way someone decided that means the end of the world, because they're retarded.
