The end of the world in the Mayan culture could be traced back to around 2100 B.C. At that time, a branch of the Mayan civilization, the Mayan civilization of the Yucatan Peninsula, had predicted the arrival of the end of the world. According to the records of the Mayan civilization, this day would take place on December 21st, which was known as the "Carnak" festival. However, this statement was not widely accepted because the Mayan civilization did not leave any reliable evidence to prove their authenticity. Modern people are skeptical about the end of the world in the Mayan culture because it lacks scientific basis. Even so, Mayan culture was still a cultural heritage with important historical value. People still had a wide understanding and research of it.
