For over a century, people are constantly waiting to see Apocalypse. Every time history repeats itself exactly. Regularly run over and the growing wave of reasoning and rumours about the end of the world. If coming centenarians, the appearance of a comet, eclipse of the sun, all these phenomena are only spurring the gloomy forecasts. Doomsday predicted by all: famous people, scholars, philosophers and entire civilizations. One of the famous and notorious doomsday predictions for 2012 is by far the Mayan that awakened all sorts of extraordinary avalanche of discussions. The opposite side of non-believers ask: why is this ancient civilization was to have such a huge successamong our people today? Can be really, something dreadful hanging over our planet? The ozone layer becomes thinner each year; the temperature is rising, high development of science. Anthropogenic disasters are not an invention of science fiction anymore and the harsh reality of nowadays is that natural disasters is increasing in geometric progression. Considering all these troubles society noticed that Mayan calendar will end exactly in 2012. However it is a perfect chance for media to brainwash population.
That the world will end in 2012 might sound realistic to some, but I personally could never understand how convinced they are, just because the Mayan's believe so. I have even heard from a friend that her mother is getting prepared for this and is trying to get everything done by the end of the year, so that she feels she has lived a fulfilled life. I can only remember, how in 1999 people were going crazy because the year 2000 was coming. I even remember watching some documentations on TV about families supplying themselves with so much food and water, that they could survive for some time without having to leave their shelter.
