There are rumors, myths, and prophecies about the world coming to it's end in December 2012. They're even making a movie about it! Even the Mi-an calender (very accurate) predicts it. So, the final question is, do you believe it? Try to tell why.
The Mi-an calender only has 3 weeks per month. This means the world would have ended a long time ago. also if they were so smart why is their civilization gone. Another fact is that people believed that in 2000 the world was going to end for a much more believeable idea. People believed that because the time on computers and all the high rockets etc had only until year 1999 that something bad would happen. What happened nothing it stayed in 1999. Last people get caught up with this bull, a man spent all his money to build a underground train to survive the 2000 end of the world and guess what he has no money anymore
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoamerican_Long_Count_calendar The Mayans were subjugated by the Spanish. The Millenium Bug was a very real issue that did affect some systems. You can thank world governments for being proactive about it and minimising the damage. Ten years is plenty of time to rebuild your fortune. It should be noted that the Mayans never attributed any apocalyptic significance to 2012.
