Does it represent...
1. The Rapture?
2. The end of our current way of life as we know it?
3. An ascension into fourth dimension?
4. Culmination of World War 3?
5. Something else?

First off, it hasn't ended, as it is not yet 2012.
Second, I know what it means.
As many already know, the earth's axis is not perfectly horizontal - we are tilted slightly. Because of this, we wobble. In our daily turns and yearly revolutions around the sun, we wobble like a spinning top when it slows. Every 5000 years (approximately), the earth makes a complete wobble. The winter solstice in the year 2012 marks the completion of one full wobble.
What else this means, I have no idea. Perhaps the end of the world as we know it, perhaps nothing.
Sorry for the disappointment.

It doesn't end in 2012, it restarts. The Mayan Calendar was astrological and the concept of ages, eras, or periods were based on the wobble of the Earth's axis. The Greeks had a similar system, thus how we recently entered the Age of Aquarius approximately a 2000 period.

Perhaps on their calendar that 2012 was the day the Spaniards showed up, or they could have just run out of room on the rock. Either way, its nothing important.

I don't think they had the "wisdom of the ages." They were an ancient civilization that thought god wanted em to kill kids. I'm not going to them for advice about the end of the world.

That was the exact number of corn kernels that would fit into a llama bladder.

Alien invasion, death, destruction, the loss of millions of lives. H.G. Wells would have loved it.
