The Apocalypse That Didn't Happen

Almost everyone made a big deal of the "21 Dec 2012", when the world was supposed to end. If you actually read about facts, you'll realise that the world won't actually end, at least not on that day.

The Mayans were the people who supposedly predicted the end of the world. However, 21 Dec 2012 was just a day in their calendar, which happened to mark significance because it is the end of a calender, and start of a new one. Historians believe that the day when the calendar first started was some sort of dooms day, thus conveniently assumed that the world would have some catastrophic disaster when the calendar ends/starts.

In a documentary I watched, they said that the Mayans scripted messages on stones. And for some reason, turned it around so that when the stones were made to form the structures, it won't be seen. I'm not sure how people found out about it though. It's not like they could remove a precious stone from the Mayan monuments. The commentator implied that they wanted to hide some secret from others around. He then went on to say, "could they be hiding some knowledge of a catastrophic event from people so it would not cause global panic"? My guess is that the Mayans didn't want that important message on the stone to suffer wear and tear from environmental factors so made it face inside to protect it as long as they can before someone finds it and protects it. Just a guess.

Another documentary depicted the possible scenes of disasters of the supposed "End of the World", like major earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, cosmic collision, famine and so on. I laughed when I watched it on the 22nd Dec haha.

In Nostradamus' predictions, he mentioned something that resembled an Earthquake, with a slight hint, adding the phrase "new city" into it, implying a catastrophic earthquake would happen at "new city". Apparently, according to American historians, they linked "new city" to the USA, and thought: Since Yellowstone has an active volcano, "new city" probably referred to Yellowstone. I don't know how they arrived at this conclusion (though I believed it was biased; Well whatever it just means that if it's true, they'll die first), but I'll associate "new city" to New York, which I doubt has active volcanoes so meh.

"Doomsday Preppers", as they call themselves, make preparations for the supposed apocalypse. For example buying an underground capsule which would provide them oxygen, food and water to survive and things like that. While some might think it's stupid to waste money on it, I guess it's good that they're prepared for the worst.

In any case, it was evident that the world didn't end.

If an apocalypse were to happen, I'll bet on December 2016 though. There's a huge asteroid that's suppose to collide with Earth then, but scientists are trying to knock it out of its orbit. They have the next 4 years to work things out, so I won't fret about it :).
