"Kingdom Come"
If you didnt know there has been discussions going around of the world ending December 2012. Do I believe in this..........hell F#!$%^ no. But it does rattle you a little bit.
I remember there was the Y2K scare where people would run to the stores and stock up in grocerys and appliances. I know this because my friend was one of them.
But I am going to go back to as why people think the world is going to end in 2012.

Well this whole story started because of the Mayans.

The Mayans was a civilization located in southern Mexico, Guatemala and Belize and flourished between the third and tenth centuries A.D. but they have dissapeared for reason that are unknown.
With the discovery of the Mayans there was the discovery of the Mayan Calender which marked the passage of time with three cycles that ran parallel.

- The 1st calender is called Tzolkin: It combine the numbers from 1 through 13 with a sequence of 20-day names.
ex. 1-Kimi is actually considered in our terms Monday the 1st
> After 260 days the calender starts over.
- The 2nd calender is called The Haab: It consist of 18 months each with 20 days
> There is also another month which only consist of 5 days(known as the period of bad luck)
- Thus we get 365 days approx. a year.
> The purpose of the calender is to keeps track of seasonal and solar events which occurs roughly the same day of each year.
These two calenders harmonize every 52 days (It was expected the world would end everytime this happens)
- The 3rd calender is called "The Long Count": It is a continous record of days that starts over every 5000 yrs
> The current Long Count started in August 13. 3114 B.C.
> The Mayan date looks like this: 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ahau 8 Cumku
- 13.0.0.0.0 4 is the long count calender
- 8 Cumku is the Haab calender
- 4 Ahau is the Tzolin calender
In Mayan mythology Mayans believe every Long Count cycle creates a new world where the gods attempted to create worshipers and obedient creatures
> The First Age was the creation of the Earth, it was destroyed because the birds and animals lacked speech
> The Second Age the gods created humans out of mud but couldnt please the gods.
> The Third Age the gods created humans out of mud but couldnt please the gods.
> The Fourth Age ?.....................I Guess we will see
It is said these Ages were the evolutionary change.

What is suppose to happen on December 2012:
* Pole Reversal- When this happens the north and south pole switches places this could lead to worldwide mass extinctions, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
* The Earth and Sun will be at the center of the milky way (what does this mean?)
