Where is this 2012 End of World notion coming from?
I have heard several people asking if people think the world is going to end in 2012. Why is this? Where did they get this notion?

I think it comes from people who are extremely bored with their empty, lonely lives. They make up crap like this every once in a while to try to get some attention. I have heard this 2012 stuff so many times, and laugh at it. See you in 2013!!
The Mayan calendar “cycles” December 21th 2012.
Some say it is the start of a new life cycle, and some interpret this as the end of the world.
“At December 21, 11.12 GMT during the December solstice the Sun is at the exact centre of the Galaxy. According to the Mayas the center of the Galaxy is the cosmic womb: the place of dead, transformation, regeneration and rebirth. This moment shows the end of their calendar.”

Well I believe there is more than one source for this belief but the one I can recall specifically is Mayan oracle prophecy.
You should read Finger Prints of the Gods it is crazy the things they tried to do to change the course they believed the planet was on.
December 21, 2012 is the end of the Mayan Calendar.
This date has become open season for conspiracy theorists as well, and some have determined it is also the biblically prophesied end of the world. Additionally, the world’s largest particle accelerator is set to be tested in 2012 and, if that goes wrong, has the potential to destroy the world in a matter of seconds. See the website for more theories.
The world can’t end in 2012 – it ended at 12:01 AM January 1, 2000! Oh, no, wait, that wasn’t the “real millenium”, the world ended 12:01AM January 1, 2001. Oh, wait, I’ve got it – the world ended on 06/06/06. Or was it 07/07/07? See people attach significance to all sorts of random #s – the end of the world has been predicted since it began. But if we can’t accurately predict something as (relatively) minor as an attack or natural disaster, how on earth would anyone come up with a definitive date for the end of the world?
The Mayan calendar. The cycle of the sun take to go around the milkly way just like the earth goes around the sun every year, it not the end of the world on 31 of december every year is it .
Some say this is a period of the underworld evil things will happen “Rubbish”.
I wanna know if the world is gonna end tomorrow. I don’t think it will, and I don’t believe anybody knows, anyway.
It comes from the Mayan calendar. The calendar ends in 2012. The Mayans, as a civilization, were long gone before a new calendar was made. The world doesn’t end on that Mayan date, but and era as the Mayans figured it does. There is also a misquoted and misunderstood prophecy of the Mayans that people use to validate the 2012 thing. All the prophecy really says is that momentous things will happen.
If you’d like to take a look for yourself, here is the best site I know of….

A very mistaken interpretation of the Mayan calender by people who want to promote an “end of the world” panic.
Lack of brain power.
deanlewa is right on! The Mayan calendar ends with the year 2012. The ancient civilization has been correct about all their prophecies thus far. Even better than Nostredamus.
