While no one disputes that the Mayan calendar abruptly ends, and that ending has been said to fall on December 21, 2012, apparently the Mayans never made any association with the end of the calendar as "The End of the World." According the experts, it was christian-minded decipherers of the calendar, already familiar with apocalyptic tales of The Bible, that assumed the end of the Mayan long-count calendar meant "The Apocalypse."
Oh...and apparently all those scenarios (pole-flipping, solar flares, planet collisons, Supervolcanoes) don't hold that much water either...read below. Ya know...just in case you were worried.
