Today I will be talking about the Mayan Apocalypse. For reference, I am using volume 12, issue 552, February 10th, 2012 edition of The Week. page 11. Alot of folks are starting to believe that the world is going to end on December 21st, 2012. why is this? because of a calendar created practically 4000 years ago by the Mayan civilization.
People are crazy in America. wait... It's not just America, it's the entire world that thinks this is true! I saw a show called Doomsday Preppers, and it was crazy how they jar and can all that food and store it for something that probably won't come for a long time. I sort of think that people are using this date as a cut off, because they want to achieve a goal before they "dying" and it makes them feel important if they actually believe this stuff.
Basically, they calendar is based on 13 baktuns, which are each about 394 years long. At the end of the 13th baktun, the cylcle terminates. Some believe that a new cycle will start- others believe the magnetic field of earth will reverse and kill the human race. What do you think about all the hubbaballoo? comment opinions.
