The Mayan Apocalypse
To the uninitiated, Dec. 21 was just another day, but to the superstitious it signaled the end of the world based on some interpretations of the Mayan Long Count Calendar. According to Mayan scholars, the Dec. 21 date was simply the culmination of a 400-year cycle called a b'ak'tun — an ancient Mayan unit of time.
