There's a researcher I stumbled across recently who has a novel theory about 2012: he thinks we have the start of the Mayan civilization wrong. He believes that based on similarities, the Mayans and Egyptians were contemporaries and both (re)started their civilizations at the same time after a great flood (note that both have origin myths/legends along those lines).
The fascinating part is, if you move the Mayan calendar origin to match the Egyptian Zep Tepi (beginning), then the end of that calendar no longer falls in December 2012 but exactly at the threshold of the Age of Aquarius.

I personally don't think self preservation beats apathy every time.
I have seen a theory that put 21st December 2012 as the date we finally get the LHC functioning...

If 2012 means anything, it means a transition. It most certainly (IMO) does not mean the end of the world or of civilization, etc. But it might mean the end of the present era and the start of something new. I don't expect anything abrupt, however. Just a gradual phase change, with this point in time being significant, but in a subtle way.
Gotta learn how to tap into the wisdom for this stuff to begin making sense. The intellect is too limited.

A google search just turned up this quote:
"The Hopi and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will come to an end. Rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another. The message they give concerns our making a choice of how we enter the future ahead. Our moving through with either resistance or acceptance will determine whether the transition will happen with cataclysmic changes or gradual peace and tranquility. The same theme can be found reflected in the prophecies of many other Native American visionaries from Black Elk to Sun Bear." - Joseph Robert Jochmans

My dog thinks the world is going to end this December 31...
That's the last page on the calender I have hanging in the kitchen.
He thinks this every year until I put up a new calender.
... Stupid dog.
