2012: The date of attributed by some to the completion of a particular cycle found in the Mayan calendar. Some people fascinated by this topic even give the date of December 21, 2012, as the end of this cycle. Although some people claim this is the end of the calendar and propose an apocalyptic end of the world scenario, most believe it will simply mark a major evolutionary step for the world where there will be major world changes.

Most people today don’t think that change occurred, and negative events such as massacres and wars continued. However, there were positive geopolitical events such as the end of Apartheid in South Africa as well as the Soviet Union splitting into independent states.
