As I learned a few days ago by watching a documentary. The Mayans percieved time not as a line, which stretches to infinity with every single point on it as a unique event, like we do. They saw time as a circle, which will repeat itself once in a while. And this is what happens (in mayan thinking) on December 22, 2012: The circle starts from the beginning.
A nice thought to start the year, don't you think? At least better than the ending of the world.
