The Mayan calendar is based on five cycles of time with each period lasting 5125 years. We are now at the end of one of these cycles. We are also at the end …
The End of the World is big business these days, and not just because of the year 2012. Movies, television, comic books, novels, essentially every type of media is cashing in on the apocalypse these days.

Doomsday prophecies are nothing new. Neither is a widespread desire to believe them. But in the end, they’re meaningless. The thing that most people fail to realize about “prophecy” is that it is ultimately open to interpretation. If an individual wants to believe a prophecy is true, whether as reinforcement for their religious world view, [...]
Much has been said about the events of 12-21-2012 and the perceived end of the long form Mayan calender.
