Is the 2012 Apocalypse Real? (HuffPo Article)
As I continue to get the word out about my new book, I've got a piece in the Huffington Post today about the 2012 doomsday phenomenon. A sample:
Yes, there is such a thing as the Mesoamerican Long Count Calendar, as mentioned in the movie. And yes, it does come to an end on the Winter Solstice of this year — Dec. 21, 2012. Just like your desk calendar came to an end on Dec. 31, 2011. And just like your car's odometer will "come to an end" should you drive it all the way to 99,999.9 miles.
Only you know as well as I do that calendars and odometers don't "end." They reset and start over. Your car doesn't implode when the odometer resets. Time didn't end when the ball dropped on New Year's Eve. Numbers change, totals reset to zero, and we keep counting.
