The End is Near - Domesday 2012 according to the Mayans

Dear students & readers of this blog,

In the middle of all our Christmas preparations, rumours, or rather, beliefs that the world is going to end next Friday, December 21, are all over the media. Apparently, the Mayans, an Ancient people of Central America, forsaw the 'Domesday', or the day the world will end, in a catastrophe that will be preceded by natural disasters. Most people seem not to believe the world will end next Friday, but some others are getting ready for a catastrophe.

'Recent hurricanes, unrest in the Middle East, solar flares, mystery planets about to collide with us - all "proof" of that the ancient Mayans knew would come to pass on 21 December 2012.'

So what do you think? Do you believe the end is near? Please COMMENT to give us your opinion.

If you want some more information on this subject, read the following article published on the BBC website: MAYAN APOCALYPSE: THE END OF THE WORLD, OR A NEW BEGINNING?

Or rather, if you wish to listen about it, rather than read about it, click on the link to the programme on BBC Radio 4 '2012 - The End of Time'.

Let's hope that the Mayans were wrong, and that we still have many hears ahead of us, to learn about English and English-speaking cultures!!
