December 21, 2012 is near. So is the end of the world. Or is it?
If you believe in the alleged Mayan prophecies, the world is set to end in just nine days. Yes, NINE DAYS. Better wipe out that savings account and do all the living you can before it comes.
You think that sounds crazy? Just do a google search for 2012 Mayan Prophecy. Pages and pages of results. Of people ‘living their last days. Of stories of the end of the world.
Alot of people have misinterpreted what the end of the Mayan calendar means.
Misinformation on the internet and television says that because the Mayan Calendar ends on December 21, 2012 that the world will end also. The truth is that the truth is not quite as interesting.
Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then—just as your calendar begins again on January 1—another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar as well.
Think of it is a clock. You use your clock to count the number of hours in a day, from midnight to midnight. Well, just because your 24 hour cycle is over you don’t buy a new clock to start a new 24 hour period. You use the same clock for the next cycle.
Either way, whether you are spending all of your money and building yourself an ark or stockpiling food and ammo, I’ll see you all for Christmas. Happy holidays.
