The Aztec Calendar 2012 incorporated two different counting systems: the first Aztec calendar 2012 called the Xihuitl, was made up of 18 months, with 20 days each (360 days) with an additional 5 days (called the Nemontemi) tacked onto the end. The other Aztec calendar, the Tonalpohualli, was a ritual Aztec calendar round made up of 20 day signs (with names such as reed, knife, house, rabbit, etc.) set against a "week" of 13 days. The counting would follow the pattern of 1 reed, 2 knife, 3 house, 4 rabbit, etc. This cycle would repeat itself every 260 days. (i.e.. the date 1 reed would appear every 260 days).

Each of these calendrical systems had their purpose. The Xihuitl helped to record seasonal events and annual ceremonies while the Tonalpohualli assisted in divination and various ceremonies. These two calendars ran concurrently and repeating dates would appear only every 52 years (e.g.. the Xihuitl date of 1 Izcalli (the first month) and the Tonalpohualli date of 1 Crocodile would occur only every 18,980 days).

According to the Aztec Calendar 2012, the end of the world will be in the exact date of 12/21/2012. At this day all the stars will be lined up and earth will start to change. According to the Aztec calendar in the end of the year 2012 there will be hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes and many more destructive phenomenas including asteroids hitting our earth.

This in not just media hype you can see the signs of the end of the world even today. For example the global warming - earth climate is changing a bit everyday, if we will continue to live like that, then by the end of 2012 the world will come to it's end. The Mayan already knew this day will come. All this time we have been blind to the apocalypse and now we have little time to stop it, not to mention to be prepared.
