We hear that question a lot lately. Will we all be dead on Dec. 22, 2012 because of some catastrophic prediction come true on Dec. 21, 2012, but when one analyzes the actual facts about the matter, you can see, this is largely something that’s been exploited by Hollywood and pseudo-scientists out looking to make a buck who are going to have some foot-noted explaining to do on Dec. 22, 2012 about how they were so wrong.

Last week we even had a caller tell us for fact that the world is going to end at noon on Dec. 21, 2012.  He just didn’t know which time zone it was going to happen in.

There are many ways to explain how the 2012 Prophecy of the Ancient Maya came to be as fantastic as it has become.

Dr. Mark Van Stone

The Wonders Expedition has developed a fantastic working relationship with Mayanist Dr. Mark Van Stone of San Diego. We are in the process of creating an Interactive Book for the iPad of his book: 2012: Science and Prophecy of the Ancient Maya.  He’s taught us so many great things about what’s actually been found among the ruins and writings of the Maya and he has helped provide some great answers. (If you would like to make a pledge to a project for an Interactive Book for the iPad on Machu Picchu, please click here!)

We are posting this video below to share with you because it starts to help really explain what’s going on about 2012 and why all the hoopla.

It’s an interview with Dr. Van Stone and others in January 2012 in Belize.  It takes a few minutes to watch, but we think it’s well worth it.

So if you’re wound up and thinking the world’s going to end in 8 months, relax.  You’ll see here there’s not so much to be worried about.  At least as far as the Maya were concerned…..
