The 2012 doomsday prediction is a present-day cultural meme proposing that cataclysmic andapocalyptic events will occur in the year 2012. This idea has been disseminated by numerous books, Internet sites and by TV documentaries. The forecast is based primarily on what is claimed to be the end-date of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, which is presented as lasting 5,125 years and as terminating on December 21 or 23, 2012, along with interpretations of assorted legends, scriptures,numerological constructions and prophecies.
A New Age interpretation of this transition posits that, during this time, the planet and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation rather than an armageddon, and that 2012 may mark the beginning of a newer sociopolitical age for the global community.
December, 2012 marks the ending of the current baktun cycle of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. The Long Count set its "time zero" at a point in the past marking the end of the previous world and the beginning of the current one, which corresponds to either 11 or 13 August 3114 BC in the Gregorian calendar, depending on the formula used.
I read all this in Wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_doomsday_prediction
For what I've understand is
Mesoamerican Long Count calendar - 5125 years
Gregorian calendar - -3114 BC
And so, -3114 + 5125 = 2011
Yeah.. I with you.. Smack them..hee.hee..
