December 2012
As 2012, dubbed the greatest disaster movie ever made, rockets into cinemas, we take a look at some other Armageddon dates we should all be dreading.
Date to dread: 23 December 2012
Why we should dread it:According to the ancient Mayan calendar, the world is divided into 13 baktuns, or cycles. A baktun lasts for 144,000 days and if the Mayans are right, the last day of the final cycle will come at the end of 2012. Still, at least we’d get to watch the Olympics.
Likelihood it will happen:
6/10 – the Mayans were sharp cookies and, of the apocalypses doing the rounds, this one is causing the biggest buzz.
