Much has been said, written, and speculated about what is really going to happen in the year 2012. This year, and specifically, the date December 21, 2012 has been said to have great significance in the Mayan calendar. This is the date that has brought about much conversation and fear that it will be the final day of Earth's existence. It is said to be a prophecy, since the Mayan calendar ends on this date. The fact that the Mayan calendar terminates on such an arbitrary date prompts many to believe that Mayan predictions foresaw the end of the world coming long before anyone else. The Mayan Long Count Calendar is a rather peculiar calendar, and it's easy to see why the Mayan predictions are believable based on how the calendar is structured. It starts on August 11, 3114 BC, marked as the creation of the world by the Mayans. This creation date is written 0.0.0.0.0 in the Mayan representation. The first digit represents the *baktun, and each baktun lasts exactly 144,000 days, or 394.3 solar years. Every digit except the second from the right rolls back to 0 on the 20th iteration; the remaining digit rolls back to 0 after 18th iteration. The 13th baktun, which we are currently in, started on September 18, 1618. The calendar rolls over to the 14th baktun on December 21, 2012-a cycle that would have lasted 5,125 years from the beginning. According to the Mayans, this is called the Great Cycle. Perhaps the Mayan predictions pointed to something even bigger, called the precession of the equinoxes. The earth's axis of rotation moves very slowly, making one complete rotation every 26,000 years. This is given as a plausible reason for why the Mayans ended their calendar on that date in 2012, because this not only is this the date for the winter solstice, but the Earth will complete its precession on that day as well. The Mayans were technologically advanced for their time. They were extremely proficient in mathematics, which would make setting such a date seem plausible, even if it seems rather arbitrary to the layperson. But should we be concerned about December 21, 2012? Will mass destruction and polar shifts occur, much like what we've seen in the movies? Chances are that we'll probably wake up that day and it'll be just like any other day, and much like the fervor around Y2K, this might be all for naught. As we approach that supposedly fateful day, the Mayan prophecies will be in the back of everyone's minds.
