"After the 2009 movie &amp;quot;2012&amp;quot; came out, a lot of attention was given to the notion that the Mayan calendar predicts the end of the world in 2012, or more specifically on the winter solstice, Dec. 21, 2012. But according to many experts, that&amp;#039;s just western spin and is not rooted in any evidence from the ancient people&amp;#039;s texts. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s no real prophesy that says this is going to be the end of the world,&amp;quot; Mayan archeologist Christopher Powell told Good Morning America. Westerners and Americans, in particular, love a little apocalyptic drama. Just look at all the shows (The Walking Dead), books (World War Z, The Road, The Stand, etc.) and movies (Mad Max, 28 Days Later, etc) about everything from a super bug taking out the human race to a zombie apocalypse. I find the whole thing entertaining but I&amp;#039;m obviously not going to spend my life&amp;#039;s savings on an underground bunker any time soon. Besides, if the apocalypse did come, would you really want to be the only survivor? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
