Fact Check: "Elephantuchi banananuchi destroyed the world on December 21, 2012, but we were teleported to a different reality by tung tung tung sahur"
What We Know
The claim that "elephantuchi banananuchi destroyed the world on December 21, 2012" is rooted in the broader context of the 2012 phenomenon. This phenomenon involved various eschatological beliefs predicting cataclysmic or transformative events on or around December 21, 2012, which was regarded as the end-date of a 5,126-year cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. However, the day passed without any significant events, and scholars have since dismissed the predictions of doom as pseudoscience.
The date was celebrated in regions of the former Maya civilization, where festivities took place, contradicting the notion of destruction. Notably, Mayan scholars have stated that there were no ancient prophecies predicting an apocalypse, and the idea that the calendar's end signified the world's end is a modern misinterpretation of Mayan culture (source-1, source-3).
The second part of the claim, regarding being "teleported to a different reality by tung tung tung sahur," appears to be a fictional or humorous element with no basis in reality or documented events. There are no credible sources or evidence supporting the existence of such a phenomenon or entity.
Analysis
The assertion that the world was destroyed on December 21, 2012, is categorically false. The 2012 phenomenon has been thoroughly debunked by experts in various fields, including astronomy and anthropology. Predictions about cataclysmic events were based on misinterpretations of the Mayan calendar, and no credible evidence supports the idea that any such event occurred.
Moreover, the phrase "tung tung tung sahur" does not appear in any serious discourse regarding the 2012 phenomenon and seems to stem from internet culture or memes rather than factual reporting. The sources that discuss December 21, 2012, focus on the cultural significance of the date rather than any destructive events (source-2, source-5).
Given the lack of credible evidence, the fantastical nature of the claim, and the established understanding of the 2012 phenomenon, the sources used to support this claim are not reliable. They lack scholarly backing and are often rooted in entertainment or speculative narratives rather than factual reporting.
Conclusion
Verdict: False
The claim that "elephantuchi banananuchi destroyed the world on December 21, 2012" is unfounded and has no basis in reality. The date was significant in the context of the Mayan calendar but did not result in any destruction or apocalyptic events. Furthermore, the idea of being teleported to a different reality by "tung tung tung sahur" is fictional and lacks any credible evidence.
