Many people have predicted the end of the world, and some of them have provided a remarkable level of specificity about the events that will occur. Obviously, most of them were wrong, as we're still here. However, some of these predictions haven't been disproven because their dates for the end of the world have not yet come, and this latter group includes the family of 2012 prophecies.
While 2012 prophecies have excited some official comments, there is much more speculation on the Internet. There is almost always at least 2012 thread active on most forums, many sites discuss it extensively, and many bloggers with philosophical bents comment on the phenomenon.
What exactly are the 2012 prophecies? They start from one simple fact. THe Mayan Long Count calendar abruptly terminates in 2012, indicating to those who believe that they had predictive powers that they saw no need to continue a calendar beyond that time.
The actual details of the world's end change depending on who is looking at the information. Some think the end will be brought about by a natural disaster, others think it may be less literal and more the end of the world as we know it as opposed to the absolute end of the world. Some prophecy believers feel that the change will come about with the predicted alignment of the galaxy, a once in a 28,600 year occurence, on December 12th, 2012.
It does not specific mention that skeptic people are abundant in number. Although a lot of Mayan predictions have turned out to be true, some skeptic people have cited many logical inconsistencies so far as 2012 forecast is concerned. Their arguments include a simple thing like that Mayan scholars may have not found enough time to bring out a new calendar due to end of Mayan culture. Another argument is that the set periods of Mayan calendar covered a period more than a modern year of twelve months and it might have 2012 as the last year. Their opinion is that ending of Mayan calendar in 2012 is of no importance.
As with many prophecies, there are arguments for and against every aspect. The only way to be certain of the outcome, sadly, is to wait it out until 2012.
