Well I guess the 50,000 units of "How To Survive The Mayan Appocalypse" trading cards I just ordered are going up on Ebay.

It's not "the end of the world" nor did the Mayans ever say it was.  It's the end of the calendar CYCLE when the earth's axis rotates its pole 360 degrees through all of the constellations and back to the beginning.

So what?  Not the end of the world.  Literally, not.

What's remarkable is how close the Mayans came to calculating the 22,000 year cycle.  The actual year is 162 years beyond 2012 or 2174.

Given no technology by today's standards being off 162 years in 22,000 is quite remarkable.

And even in 162 years, there will be no mystical end of the world.  It will be more like what Kurzweil expects than anything to do with the Mayans.
