Okay, A history lesson. The Mayans believed that the world passed through time in cycles, in other words. When one cycle ends, the world as we know it 'Changes' For better or worse. So they predicted that the world wasn't going to end in 2012 but only to begin another cycle. What does this mean? who knows. We'll have to wait and see. And poeple have predicted dates that the world would end for centuries, None has happened yet so I really don't know... I'd rather it wouldn't end yet I still have so much to do in my life. But thats just me, oh and the Mayans were not extinct from a zombie apoc.
i think that the world will have a zombie outbreak becouse of the atmousphere will change and will react to the zombie virus Solanum. but why do the media cover it up

"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.
The Long Count kept time in units of 20, so 20 days made a uinal, 18 uinals, or 360 days, made a tun, 20 tuns made a katun, and 20 katuns, or 144,000 days, made up a baktun. After 13 baktuns, according to various inscriptions, the baktun place resets and the count moves to a higher order. So, for example, the Mayan date of 8.3.2.10.15 represents 8 baktuns, 3 katuns, 2 tuns, 10 uinals and 15 days since creation. Today, the most widely accepted correlations of the end of the thirteenth baktun, or Mayan date 13.0.0.0.0, with the Western calendar are either December 21 or December 23, 2012. The first book to suggest that this date might have apocalyptic implications was The Maya by archaeologist and anthropologist Michael D. Coe, originally published in 1966, in which he said:
There is a suggestion . . . that Armageddon would overtake the degenerate peoples of the world and all creation on the final day of the thirteenth [baktun]. Thus ... our present universe ... [would] be annihilated on December 23, 2012, when the Great Cycle of the Long Count reaches completion."
Now I'm usually not an advocate of using Wikipedia, but this was broken down into the simplest forms...there is no specific date in december...everyone has a different idea of what is supposed to happen...
Can't we all just agree that people have traveled all over the world, and as time passes, people are exposed to these lores and start passing them on in their own beliefs? I can start a rumor now, and a month from now, there will be a dozen different rumors, all started from the same source. But because there are different interpretations, each time it's passed on it changes in some way.

The event has happened like 173077 times.... It's not going to change because it's on the winter solstice which is the cause of the scare.. you have to think of 173077 times it hasn't happened once on the winter solstice?? It's not going to change anything, It's just one of thoes things when they happen once in a life time people get scared.
Sorry for the late reply
Happened back in 1997, if you do your research right, the date is off
