Its not the end of the world. It is the end of a cycle based on the planets position in the galaxy. The Mayans specifically write about the events that happened at the end of these cycles. Dec 21, 2012 is the end of their longest calender known as the long count calender, and after a lot of research was proven to be extremely accurate to the rotation of our universe respective to the center of the galaxy. More accurate than current day measurements.

The long count calender has ended and began three times in its recordings. No one knows why they stopped records after the end of the third cycle, which is Dec. 21, 2012.

The Mayans have written that at the end of the third cycle, Dec 21, 2012 the world will suffer from a deluge or flooding. They have written that it will not be the end of mankind but it will be apocalyptic.
