Have the makers of the the 2012 Doomsday movie actually done any research into the background of the prophecy? The reality of the the Mayan calendar, and its prophecies, has nothing to do with the end of the world. That is only an assumption made by drama hungry interpreters and glory seeking producers and sellers.
The truth behind the idea is not that of the world ending. It was just the ending of a time, in which we would consider a calendar year. The Mayan had the same idea as us, with the seasons and so on - but their timeline was super extended. They considered every season to be a re-birth of the world. Seasons were millenniums - and when examined, dates do in fact coincide with huge changes and advancements in our culture. So, at the end of the year does our time end and we all explode? No - it is a new beginning, a fresh start or re-birth of mankind. The same as New Years is to us every year.
If there should be some sort of huge change - we should embrace it. Maybe it will be what saves our planet rather than destroys it.
Perhaps it will be another cultural advance. Our children will finally learn, and implement, the lessons that we have not. Society can move from money hungry and bottom line driven, to a more co-operative culture that "gets it". Our world will come to an end, and it will be us - not a calendar - that causes it. TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO BE GREEN!
That is what the Mayans should have carved in stone.
