The anticipated arrival of the predicted Doomsday is finally upon us, and with it comes strong, opposing beliefs. Many people relate December 21, or the supposed end of the world, to the ancient Mayan calendar, which ends on the winter solstice of 2012. According to NASA, the entire story began with claims that a supposed planet was headed toward Earth in the year 2003. This was completely false, and when the predicted Doomsday in May 2003 didn’t happen, the date was moved to 2012.
