The end of the world theory basically comes from the Mayan history. According to Popul Vuh, we are living in the fourth world. In the Mayan long count, the fourth world will end after 13 b’ak’tuns or 5125 years and following their timeline, the world will come to an end on 21-Dec-2012. According to the many believers, the reason for the end of the world is not definitely known. One of the many theories is that Nibiru, a planet discovered by the Sumerians is heading towards the earth and it will cause the end of the world. Nibiru is a planet, which comes back every 3600 years and causes major destruction. There are other theories also behind it. Some people say that there will be geomagnetic storm which will destroy the entire world. A geomagnetic storm is a disturbance in the earth’s magnetosphere. It is caused by the interplanetary medium.
Despite our modern science has refuted all the theories behind the end of the world, there are many people across the globe reluctant to give up the 21st December theory. To nullify the threat from the heart of the people, NASA released a FAQ, which can be found at http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/2012.html
In spite of all these effort, there are often news popping up from every nook and corner of the world. According to the “The New York Times”, there are number of steps taken by different government officials. The Russian Government sent a message to the mass people ensuring that the world isn’t going to end on 21st December. Russian government is continuously monitoring the situation and keeping track on whatever happening on the earth. In France, the government has put an access restriction to Bugarach mountain, which is claimed to be a sacred place and will survive during the time of devastation. In Yucatan state in Mexico, which was full of Mayan population, a Mayan festival has been arranged on 21st December to show that all will all be well after 21st December. Recently Aussie prime minister talked about this recent panic in a latest press conference. She said to the “remaining fellow Australians” that she will be with them till the end day of the world.
