The 13th Baktun of the Mayan Long Count calendar begins on 12-21-2012. This is like our calendar going from 1999 to 2000 except a baktun is 396 years long.
Also on that day is a once in 26,000 year astronomical alignment between the sun and the Milky Way at dawn which to the Maya signified the start of a new world age.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These simple facts have become twisted to mean the calendar ends on that date, that the world ends on that date, that the Bible predicted that date, that Jesus comes back then, or the anti-christ, or both, or that the planets line up and the poles will shift and we'll all die, or the rapture will take all the christians up to heaven, or the aliens will land, yaddha yaddha yaddha.
The 3 sentences I wrote at the beginning are the simple truth. Make of them what you will.

The Mayan calendar is calculated to say that the world will end at 2012.

It is predicted that the world is going to end on December 21 2012 because that is when the Mayan Calender stops.

Its when they think the world will come to an end. It ends in that year. What's the point of having a calendar after the world ends?

I'll be in my second year of collage/university! YA! I don't believe in this end of the world stuff. That's what they said was going to happen on Y2K. Did it happen? NOOO. Stop being so superstitious.
