Isn't this the year Nostradomus expected the world to end.
I found this about the mayan calendar.
December 21 — The
Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, notably used by the
Maya civilization among others of
pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, completes its thirteenth
b'ak'tun cycle since the calendar's mythical starting point (equivalent to
3114 BC August 11 in the
proleptic Gregorian calendar, according to the "GMT-correlation"
JDN= 584283).
[7] The Long Count
b'ak'tun date of this starting point (13.0.0.0.0) is repeated, for the first time in a span of approximately 5,125
solar years. The significance of this period-ending to the pre-Columbian Maya themselves is unclear, and there is an incomplete
inscription (
Tortuguero Monument 6) that records this date. It is also to be found carved on the walls of the Temple of Inscriptions in
Palenque, where it functions as a base date from which other dates are computed.
[8] However, it is conjectured that this may represent in the
Maya belief system a transition from the current Creation world into the next.
Look for the book 2012:The Return of Quetzalcoatl, it's an interesting read. Rather new book.
