(that is 3 quintillion times the age of the universe as determined by cosmologists). it just marks the conclusion of a b’ak’tun – a time period in the long count calendar — linear rather than cyclical, keeping time in approximate units of 20.
20 days made a uinal, 18 uinals (360 days) made a tun, 20 tuns made a k’atun, and 20 k’atuns (144,000 days/about 394 years) made up a b’ak’tun — a world age.

as far as the “apoclyptic” nature of this — it is ALL interpretation, which the calendar leaves very open.

the gods first creating 3 failed worlds, followed by a successful 4th world in which humanity was placed.
in the maya long count, the 3rd world ended after 13 b’ak’tuns, or roughly 5,125 years….which then resets @zero (which corresponds to 11 august 3114 BC in the gregorian) which means that the 4th world will reach the end of its 13th b’ak’tun on december 21, 2012.

what they never mention however – is that the mayan long count also gives ‘prediction dates” well past the 13th baktun……for example stele 1 at coba…..gives a date twenty units above the b’ak’tun, placing it either 41 octillion years in the future OR the past. (that is 3 quintillion times the age of the universe as determined by cosmologists).

The mayans never said the world will end.. they just ran out of room to continue the calendar.
