According to the History Channel Decoding the Past Doomsday 2012: The End of Days,
On the winter solstice December 21, 2012, Mayan astronomers and timekeepers predict a rare astronomical event occurring that will herald a profound world change or end of the world as we know it.
The Mayans are not alone. Spanning thousands of years back through history, oracles seem to have made the same time specific predictions about a significant world change. Modern day technology even has a say in the matter. The Web Bot Project, originally created to track market trends with the use of internet spiders, has tapped into the collective subconscious to accurately predict coming events.
Will it be the end of the world? Or the end of the world as we know it.
