A country mile was originally coined in ancient Egyptian times, with the word 'country' loosely translated from the Egyptian word for "pharoah's land". Archaelogists have discovered ancient tablets referring to the 'pharoah's land distance' as the distance of all the pharoah's pyramids end to end. By today's measurement standards, a country mile is approximately 12,765 feet (US).
Ancient Egypt came under the control of several other empires off & on at various times during its long history, but the "official" end came with the death of Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator (THE Cleopatra) in 30 BCE...
they were last there at 2650BC and now its 2010 so that is............................................ 4660 years ago and the pyramids are still standing! It's debatable when the Egyptian Empire actually ended. It had been in decline for a long time before the end came. It is acceptable to use the death of the last Pharaoh as the end point of Ancient Egypt. The last Egyptian Pharaoh was Cleopatra and she reigned from 51-30 B.C. With Cleopatra's death came the end of the Egyptian Pharaohs. By the time Cleopatra came to power, there wasn't much of an Empire left. It was an imperial province of the Roman Empire. So about 2000 years since the end of the Ancient Egyptian Empire.

Ancient World music started and ended in suit with the beginning and end of the Ancient World. Many people believe the ancient world to be any time before Christ, yet the historically correct date for the end of the Ancinet world is 476 A.D.
AnswerThis is something that can probably termed as an urban myth. Probably no one knows who started it. However, the prediction is based on a misunderstanding of an ancient Mayan calendar.
No the world will not end that is just some myth people made up for money don't get caught up in this junk.
