The YR4 asteroid will possibly hit earth 12/22/2032, the Mayan calendar ended 12/21/2012. Maybe the Mayans were off a couple decades almost to the day, it’s estimated the calendar came to be in 3114 BCE. 20yrs over a 5100+ yr timespan is 0.4% which would be incredibly accurate given where technology was at the time.

We’ll hold you to that, OP. Certainly one second after midnight on 31st December of that year, just to be generous.
Since 2002, FSTDT is littered with the corpses of those quoted who made predictions that didn’t come to pass: thus making them an ass.
When even Harold Camping is laughing at you: and he’s dead …!
The YR4 asteroid will possibly hit earth 12/22/2032
From https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/02/25/asteroid-yr4-threat-odds-zero-earth-2032-nasa/80258606007/
“YR4's probability of impacting Earth first began to fall last Wednesday when NASA announced the odds had dropped to 1.5%.
NASA then gave the "all clear" in a post Monday on social media site X, announcing that odds of YR4 impacting Earth have fallen to .004% when it passes by on Dec. 22, 2032.
If it’s supposed to be prophetic, why didn’t the Mayan calendar end when the Mayan Empire did?
In addition to what everyone else has already said, even if this asteroid were to hit, it would hardly be the end of the world. Its total estimated impact energy is only around 7 - 8 megatons. We’ve conducted nuclear tests much bigger than that, and unlike a nuke, the asteroid wouldn’t create any radioactive fallout or anything. In the absolute worst case scenario, it would hit at the single most populated point along its potential impact corridor (which would probably be somewhere in India) and kill a few million people - which would suck, of course, but life would go on.
