Is December 21 2012 is the end of the world?
The date of December 21 2012 has acquired global attention and the awe and worldwide deliberations around this day of Apocalypse have been nothing short of an epidemic. The Apocalypse or the Doomsday implies an end of the world and the date of December 21 2012 is being considered by many as THAT day.This belief takes its roots from the Mayan calendar, the Maya being a Meso-american civilization acknowledged for their art, architecture, mathematical & astronomical systems and for the only known fully developed written language of the pre-Columbian America. The Mayan calendar is recorded as a carving on the Aztec `sun stone’ and is, therefore, sometimes also referred to as the Aztec calendar. The calendar has no dates after the December 21 2012 and this fact has given rise to the prophecy that the world will end on this date.
Of course the prophecy is not shared by one and all and there expectedly are people – from the ordinary to scientists and astrologers who believe that December 21 2012 will be like any other day and nothing unusual is going to happen on this day. From this group of people who do not believe in the Doomsday prophecy, there are some who go as far to claim that 21st December 2012 is being deliberately and unduly capitalized upon by the `believers’ to gain either fame or money (or both) by way of selling books, ads, and the likes.
