• The first Mayan calendar, known as the Calendar Round, appears to have been based on two overlapping annual cycles: a 260-day sacred year and a 365-day secular year that named 18 months with 20.
• Last updated 11:52, Monday 15 June 2020 BST Looks like we could be headed for the end of the world this summer, if a new interpretation of a Mayan calendar is to be believed. To understand all.

Back when the Mayans made their prediction, he believes they were using the Julian calendar, which was the main calendar of the time. The world switched to the Gregorian calendar in 1582, and several days were lost. So, quote, “Following the Julian calendar, we are technically in 2012.” If that’s right, the date that they believed was “December 21, 2012” is June 21, 2020, which is this Sunday.

Because the only thing missing from 2020 is the Mayan apocalypse.
