Conspiracy theorists claim that the Mayan doomsday Mayan calendar was wrong, and that the world will now end on June 21 2020.

A depiction of the mythical planet known as Nibiru, or Planet X, as it hurtles toward a cataclysmic rendezvous with Earth.

From the coronavirus pandemic to an influx of terrifying murder hornets, 2020 has thrown a number of tricky obstacles in humanity’s way.

But the worst is yet to come, according to conspiracy theorists, who claim that the world will end next week.

The bizarre theory is based on the fact that when the Gregorian Mayan calendar was introduced in 1582, 11 days were lost from the year, to better reflect the time it takes Earth to orbit the sun.

While 11 days might not sound a lot, over 286 years it adds up, with some conspiracy theorists claiming we ‘should be in 2012.’

In a now-deleted Twitter post, scientist Paolo Tagaloguin said: “Following the Julian Calendar, we are technically in 2012.

“The number of days lost in a year due to the shift into Gregorian Calendar is 11 days. For 268 years using the Gregorian Calendar (1752-2020) times 11 days = 2,948 days. 2,948 days / 365 days (per year) = 8 years”.
