CLICK Here - For 2012 ‘End Of Days’ Article By USA Today
The year 2012 is quickly becoming mainstream and gaining notoriety as the next ‘doomsday’ as was the calender switching over from the year 1999 to 2000, when every computer and microwave was set to explode. The year 2012 strikes a certain and similar chord to all the naysayers, conspiracy theorists, prophets and soothsayers who has set this date that the world will end. So you decide if this new date is the real ‘end of days’?. Now you are probably wondering, why this particular period of time and why the year 2012? Well, the ancient Mayan’s and their calender, which is over 5000 years old, says so.

The Mayan calender was invented and has proven to be remarkably accurate as well as complex. To add a little legitimacy, they originally thought that the world calender, which was developed centuries and centuries ago, should be based on 365 days, a concept obviously adopted to this very day. The ancient Mayans, when developing this calender, somehow decided that December 21st, 2012 A.D.,yes a few years from now, as the end of their ‘Long Count’ calendar. Meaning to the Mayan’s, time nor existance does not… well exist after that date. The world ends, finito… take that vacation now, don’t pay your mortgage until after that date because, we are all doomed.

So, ‘I Am Legend” is not an autobiography of Will Smith or Mohammed Ali, Part 2, but rather a movie based on the extinction of the world as we know it in 2012. This movie is a view and interpretation of how one man and his experience in Manhattan deals with the earth coming to a close. As it is set in 2012, and following every movie formula, the plot follows Smith on why and how he deals with he being the last man on earth, and thus I Am Legend.
