since the world is going to come to an abrupt end at the end of 2012, anything beyond that is irrelevant.

Not that anybody here will believe me, as none of my friends did at school, but as an archeologist, I really must stress that: The Mayan Long Count calendar, as far as we have figured since cracking the Mayan Code in the 1960's, runs in CYCLES. In plain English- whenever a cycle ends, a new one begins. The world does not end. One king claimed his coronation would still be celebrated in our year 4000.

 Citing the End of the WorldTM (or at least TEOTWAWKI) in 2012 or similar stuff connected with the rollover of the Mayan calendar is just sort of a traditional joke here, injected whenever a suitable topic comes up.

Sorry, but I told all of my friends at school and they laughed and didn't believe me and said I was miss-informed. That's why any mention of the topic makes me touchy.

Heh. We seem to get 2012 questions every few months on BAUT, so we're pretty used to it, but it doesn't hurt to explain it again. There could be lurkers that would benefit.
