2012 may not the last year of the Mayan calendar?

I was reading about this article yesterday. William Saturno, a Boston University archeologist, discovered a much more precise lunar calendar that was meticulously painted in a mural. It says that 2012 isn't exactly the last day of the Mayan calendar.

Quote:

Another set of numbers painted on a section of wall undermines an idea that has been embraced in popular culture -- including the movie ?2012? -- that the Maya predicted the world would end in ?13 baktuns? or about 5,000 years, which works out to the end of 2012. That idea has long been dismissed by scholars, who explain that the Maya calendar is like a car?s odometer that turns over when it reaches that date, not a doomsday prediction. The new find reinforces that the Maya?s conception of time was not finite, because it contains a calendar that extends 17 baktuns, about 7,000 years.
So does this mean that we're a few thousand years early to say that it'll be the end of the world?

This information was not found until 2012?

That almost makes me want to make a bunker and hunker down with Choker. When they start saying there is nothing to worry about, that's when you should worry. ;-)

The MAYANS never Predicted that the world would end in 2012. It was just the END of that calendar cycle and that had already happened a number of times before.
