Well, we are still here even though some said the end of the world would be on Dec. 21, 2012 according to the Mayan Calendar.

The Mayan Calendar (the Mayan empire was made up of what is now known as Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras and El Salvador) is 5125 years old and Dec. 21, 2012 is the end of this cycle.  So this was interpreted by some to mean the Earth would cease to exist or would have a catastrophic collision with another planet on this date.
Enjoy this related YouTube video chosen for its popularity (view count):

Some professional Mayan Calendar experts say that the Mayans did not account for leap years in their calendars.

If you figure in the leap days that were not recorded, the end of the world would really have been about 13 years ago.
In true entrepreneurial spirit, there were some who found ways to profit from this event years before it was supposed to happen.  Just about anything you could think of was for sale.  Of course, none of them were actually needed.
Here are some examples:
  • You could buy a guide to tell you the locations you should move your family to in order to survive the Earth’s wobble.
  • Instruction manuals on how to build an underground shelter, how to keep it a secret and what to put in it to survive for a year.
  • Courses on how to read and predict the weather without newspapers or radios (which theoretically would not be available after the end of the Earth)
  • 72 hour survival kits, so you could ride out the end of the Earth at home.
  • US Army survival manuals
  • How to interpret the Mayan Calendar
  • Portable generators, water storage tanks and water treatment tablets
  • 2012 music
  • List of items to start hoarding
  • Trips, tours and cruises going to Machu Picchu – the lost city of the Incas, known as the crystal city in the clouds.  (It was very interesting that one of these tours had a return date of Dec. 22 – the day after the Mayan Calendar predicted the end of the Earth.)

Of course there were also websites, Facebook pages, Twitter groups and YouTube videos all dedicated to Dec. 21 2012. It is amusing to note, that some 2012 websites are now having “blowout sales” on their products.  One ad even offered free shipping of a survival book until Dec. 31 (10 ten days after the proposed end of the world)!

God bless you!
