Thousands of people have gathered at ancient ruins in Central America and numerous other locations around the world in anticipation of what they believe will be the end of the world.
The date – 21 December – is, some believe, the end of the “long count” calendar of the Mayan civilisation.
In China, police have arrested hundreds of members of a Christian group who apparently believe in the prophecy.
All this despite the fact that last year, experts said a new reading of the calendar showed that it did not in fact predict the apocalypse.
In the Mexican city of Merida hundreds of spiritualists gathered about hour-and-a-half from the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, many prepared white clothes and incense to meet the sunrise, which they believe would bring the birth of a new age.
Earlier this week spiritual leader Alberto Arribalzaga said: “The galactic bridge has been established, the cosmos is going to take us to a higher level of vibration where humanity is in glory, in joy.”
Now he either said this while very, very high, or he’s completely serious in which case he should be locked in a rubber room and never let out again.
For all those deluded fools who’ve made a pilgrimage to a mountain top somewhere, and genuinely believe the world will end today, I hope it does to, for them only.
I hope that all those congregated around Mayan ruins in the Americas, or those on a mountain are lifted up and carried off into another universe, because they’re certainly not wanted, or needed, in this one with the majority of us who are sane and rational and who know this is all bulls**t.
Or maybe for once it’s the minority who are right and the world will end today, if that’s the case then the majority still sort of win because the minority won’t be able to say I told you so.
