Will the world end in 2012?
I very much doubt it, but some people are worried by a so-called Mayan prophecy that suggests that the world will cease on 21 December 2012. The prophecy was the basis for the movie “2012” which I’ve reviewed here.
There are whole web sites devoted to the implications of the Mayan prophecy including one that helpfully answers 20 questions on the subject here. Reassuringly this web site advises us that 2012 will not be the end of the world as such but just the end of the world as we know it with the dawning of a new age of enlightenment.
