All these things have always been person. true, it's creepy how the Mayans prophecized the end in 2012, but honestly it makes no sense, people just like to amke dramas of everything. People took advantage of the prophecy and made money by making the movie 2012.
By the way, did the Mayans even say that the world was going to actually end in 2012, or does their calendar just end then? Because honestly they could of just not wanted to keep going with their calendar...
