(Besides, the Mayan calendar uses the perpetual model; all 12/21/2012 will do is see the end of the thirteenth b’ak’tun since the calendar’s zero point. 12/22/2012 will be the first day of the fourteenth b’ak’tun. According to archaeologists, the Maya celebrated the end of a cycle… after all, they’d lived long enough to see it!)
