2012 movie and Mayan calendar

It is not very often you here people talking about the Mayan calendar, however due to the release of the disaster epic, 2012 you may hear a lot more of the calendar which predicts the world will end in 2012.

Director Emmerich who seems to love destroying humanity in movies such as Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow, has excelled himself in his latest movie laying siege to a number of international landmarks, with the Himalayas wiped out by a tsunami and L.A. saying goodbye thanks to a massive earthquake.

So is this destruction actually true to the prediction? Some experts say a no. Yet scholars are trying to assuring people that the Mayans didn’t predict the end of the world, just the birth of a new age. John Major Jenkins, who has written 10 books on the culture of the Mayan, agrees “the idea that the Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012 is actually not the case.”

The film is due for release this Friday. To read more on this story go to boxwish.com.
