There has long been speculation that on December 21, 2012, the world as we know it will end. Some predict that we'll be wiped out by a natural disaster like a giant tidal wave, an Earth-wide earthquake or a tremendous volcanic eruption. Others believe that on that day in December, the Earth will collide with a mysterious "Planet X," causing magnetic pole shifts, gravitational reversals or a black hole so big that our solar system will simply disappear.
What's more, believers say that this news is not really news at all; on the contrary, they argue, we have known about the coming apocalypse since the ancient Maya predicted and recorded it on their Long Count calendar more than 2,200 years ago.
But Mayas were not the only ones, the Egyptians, also looked into astronomy to predict future events and saw the year 2012 as the year when civilizacion will disappear.
Listen to the documentary on the Mayas' prediction for the end of the world.
Now listen to the documentary on The Egyptian's vision of the date.
