One of the most talked-about predictions was the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar, which many believed marked the end of the world. This ancient calendar completed its cycle on December 21, 2011, a date that was interpreted by some as signaling the apocalypse. In reality, the Mayans never predicted the end of the world; instead, they saw this date as the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. The speculation led to a global frenzy, with people preparing for the worst, only to wake up to a normal December 22nd.
Another significant doomsday theory involved Comet Elenin, a long-period comet that made its closest approach to Earth in 2011. Some theorists suggested that Elenin was not a comet at all, but a rogue planet or a brown dwarf star on a collision course with Earth. These claims sparked widespread panic and led to numerous conspiracy theories. However, Elenin passed by without incident, leaving behind a trail of embarrassed prophets and relieved skeptics.
