I have to start this answer with the following statement: This event is launched on the basis of Maya civilization forecasts, a civilization which did not survive to history.
Why forecast of a civilization which no longer exists should be taken ad-literam?
Despite the huge publicity and ongoing discussions on account of this event that gets closer, Susan Milbrath, from the Florida Museum of Natural History, said, on behalf of the archaeological community,that it was not discovered until now, any document indicating that the Maya believed that the world will end in 2012, but only the fact that it will end a large calendar cycle, which no doubt it will have effect to the planet level also, but not necessarily apocalyptic.
The entire media hysteria triggered around this event is only a chance of winning for some parts.
It is known for sure that the Maya civilization knew that it was such a cycle before, which implies that they knew that will follow another.
Some scientists agree that, despite scientific methods and means at our disposal, we can not predict the future exactly. For them the message of prophecy is that we must keep an optimistic attitude about the future. All the time people have thought that their end is near, they anticipated and waited. Until now, however,they were wrong every time.
