Last 21st of December 2012, masses of people are gathering to witness which was predicted as "Doomsday", the end of the world, the what so called "Apocalypse". But after 24 hours of waiting for the "Doomsday" to happen, many were a little bit disappointed by the fact that it is not yet the end of the world.
The so called "End of the World" which supposed to happen on December 21, 2012, I should say is a misunderstanding of people about the what that date truly means. December 21, 2012 is said by the Mayan's as end of time. And end of an old age and a beginning of a new one. Mayan is a civilization inhabiting of what is now Southern Mexican States. They are renowned for their knowledge in Mathematics, Astrology, Architectures and most of all their calendar which is the based of the December 21, 2012 prophecy. The important part of the Mayan Calendar is the long count which consists of 5,125.36 years from a mythological starting point which will end on December 21, 2012. The day also falls exactly on what we call "winter solstice", the shortest day of the year where the sun is and the earth is almost aligned with the center of the milky way. Days have passed since December 21, 2012, the world didn't experience any catastrophic events which signifies the end of the world. A lot of people telling that is just a lie, a hoax which makes people panic and believe in false information. Blaming the Mayan is way out of this since it is us who interpret the Mayan calendar the wrong way. But what if the Mayan's missed the exact date?
Well it's up for us to discover. For those who are out there still doubting that the end will come this December, it is better to be ready than to regret when the end comes.
