Mayan 2012 Prediction

The world will not end on 12-21-2012, at least not according to the Maya, who knew about as much about our planet's future demise as Gordon-Michael Scallion, St. Malachy, Edgar Cayce, Zecharia Sitchin, Nostradamus, or the 7th Day Adventists of 1843, namely, nothing.

The Maya had several calendars. One is known as the Long Count calendar, which is reset to day 0 every 1,872,000 days. The next reset date, by some calculations, is December 21, 2012. Obviously, this calendar is of no interest to the Maya any longer, since their civilization collapsed over a thousand years ago. (Though there are people today who are the descendants of the Maya and the culture lives on through them.)

This date is of interest only to certain doomsday prophets and New Agers. What the New Agers fail to tell you is that the alignment of celestial bodies occurs routinely
