I recently saw a huge point of purchase displays for the movie 2012. I never got to see it in the movie theater and I thought I would either purchase it or rent it.

How did we start believing that the world was going to end in 2012? December 21 or 23, 2012 is the end date of the 5,125 year long Mayan Calendar. Some believe that 2012 will mark the beginning of a new spiritual era, while others believe that it will mark the end of the world. The Mayan’s themselves never predicted an end on this date.
