One of my friends messaged me this today. Quite interesting:
"Today is actually the start of a new era, and is, in fact a cause to celebrate. 'The current era (known to the Mayans as a baktun) does end on December 21, 2012. However, the world will not end; the calendar simply rolls over to the next baktun. It?s very similar to the Gregorian date of January 1, 2000.
And just like we celebrated the beginning of the new millennium, the Mayans would have celebrated the beginning of a new baktun. This was not something to fear.'"
Re: December 22
LOL! I didn't realize the EOTW was time-zone specific.
No, and I find that so funny! Technically this should have happened years ago since they didn't factor in leap year.
