Where will you be on the end of the world?

If you happen to believe that the Mayans got it right and the end is coming soon – on Dec. 21, 2012, to be exact – then visiting ancient Mayan sites probably seems like a great (and appropriate) way to spend your last days. And, if you don’t think Dec. 21 is going to be the big day, then Central America is still a pretty nice vacation spot, with the bonus of sticking around to see  Dec. 22.

But we don’t “belize” that the world is coming to an end. Belize, itself, opted for the more upbeat: “Where will you be when the world begins anew?” Because, according to scholars, not even the Mayans really thought the world would end on Dec. 21, 2012. It simply begins again. The winter solstice on Dec. 21, 2012 marks the end of the 13th Bak’tun, or cycle, in the Mayan calendar. A bak’tun runs about 400 years, but the 13th one is particularly special as it marks the last cycle in the “long-count” calendar after 5,123 years. All that means, say experts, is that a new long-count calendar starts over at year one.
