Never before has a date in history been so significant to so many cultures, so many religions, scientists, and governments. ‘2012′ is an epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors.

Centuries ago, the Mayans left us their calendar, with a clear end date and all that it implies. Since then, astrologists have discovered it, numerologists have found patterns that predict it, geologists say the earth is overdue for it, and even government scientists cannot deny the cataclysm of epic proportions that awaits the earth in 2012. A prophecy that began with the Mayans has now been well-chronicled, discussed, taken apart and examined.
