According to the Mayan Calendar the world as we know it will end on December 12, 2012 exactly 2 years from now.
There are thousands of website devoted to the subject and one major motion picture.
You can see some of those sites here, here and here
The basic premise is that the sun will scorch the earth with a force of 10 million bombs wiping out every living creature on earth; destroy every building, every structure; destroy all power and communication systems and make the earth’s surface inhabitable for a period of time.
The only way to survive will be in one of the many government bunkers that the Former Governor of Minnesota Jessie Ventura Says are being prepared to house thousands of people who will begin to re-populate the earth.ย Mr Ventura has a series of videos on YouTube.com on the subject and here is a link to one of them.
Or in a private underground structure that has its own power sources and clean air system with of course a lot of food and water in reserve.
Is any of this true?
I have no idea, but I do know that as the time gets closer you’re going to see an incredible amount traffic on the net as people search for information on the subject.
Those with bang on domains and content to match will have the opportunity to capture a lot of that traffic.
So you have an opportunity to make a lot of money before the world ends.
Interestedly two of the biggest companies in the space already have carved out a couple of great domains for the subject.
Tucows.com owns TheEndofTheWorld.com
Oversee.net owns TheWorldWillEnd.com
On the other hand, some of the best domains are being wasted.
2012.com does not resolve, nor does 2012.co
Guys what are you waiting for the end of the world?

@ MHB

We must have different Mayan calendars? Try the 21st.

There were companies planning to sell Million Dollar .INSURANCE policies to be collected – On the other side – 2013 or when they got around to answering their phone
The premium would be – One Million Dollars

December 21, 2012 – 12/21/2012 is the new estimate

Check out the brokers who are selling Futures Contracts for new Top Level Domains
You give them your $185,000
They travel and party like a rock star
When the time comes, they will get in line, maybe
Each month they will keep you updated on Key TLD Events via an email
If it looks like you will not make it, they will return your money – minus a management fee
Madoff TLDs Inc appears to be the leader in the industry

who owns the EndOfTheWorld.com domain? ๐
MHB says
Well 12.12.12 was the original date for the end of the world, and my father was born on 12.12.12, but of course 1912
So if the world is going to end I would prefer it to be on 12/12/12 as originally predicted or exactly 100 years after my father was born
My advice as always is to treat each day special, and live it up as you never know.

The Earth is not expected to “end” just make some adjustments people might notice.
That last earthquake in New Zealand moved the entire country 12 inches closer to Australia. Even the Chairman of ICANN can not spin that away and add distance.
The .USA continues to pull in all fences.
Earthquake.WS says
Picked up my “end of the world” domain yesterday, hand-reg’d Earthquake.ws for $9. Have no idea what I’m going to do with it ๐

It’s true and domains are the least of your worries.

“Earthquake”
I’m sure that many earthquakes will be part of the End Of The World Show in 2012 … ๐
Scott Alliy says
Mike,
Helen and I are at the Mayan Palace Resort near Cancun. I can report that there are a ton of military types in response to the international environment conference going on in Cancun.
No signs of the end of the world yet so I think its safe for us to get a golf game in today.
Scott Alliy reoprting live for the Domains from the Riveria Mayan LOL

‘We’ll all be roooned, we’ll all be roooned…!!’…The mystics have been saying it for all of history…
But….note Nostradamus’ 17th century predictions that the ‘hordes from the east’ will sweep westwards, and there will be ‘fiery holocaust’ in Paris, Rome, and New York, at the start of the 21st Century – followed by world war, with the the Americas & Russia, in alliance, to emerge victorious….Then, the world will enter a golden age of peace and prosperity for a millennium….
…Ummm…is all this to happen before – or after – 12.12.12, I wonder…?
As Mike says…..Make every day a special one…

Do you all not watch the Discovery channel? =P
The Mayan calendar is based on the alignment of the stars and planets. 12/21/2012 is the date at which Venus will traverse our Sun. This is their most sacred planet or something and the Sun is their god. Anyway, thats all that will happen… celestial bodies moving about, business as usual.
The Wiseman says
A noted Christian evangelist is predicting May 21, 2011 as the date for the long-awaited Rapture of the Church, followed by the End of the World on October 22, 2011.
Harold Camping – owner and operator of “Family Radio” a worldwide ministry for many years, bases his predictions on the fact that May 21, 2011 AD is exactly 7,000 years from the first day of Noah’s Flood. He triangulates these dates with several other unrelated Biblical events.
It must be noted that Mr. Camping – author of the book “1994?” – was wrong about the end of the world at that time, but has since recalculated and crosschecked his Bible references and now is positive that he is correct.
“Family Radio” is widely known and respected in fundamentalist Christian circles, so you can expect huge interest worldwide as this date approaches.

The question is did Sony ever make an offer on 2012.com before they reg’d whowillsurvive2012.com ? He has’nt got much longer to sell 2012.com

One has to wonder how ICANN would have turned out IF Ubber Academic (IANA) Jon Postel had not been removed in 1998.
.CSM :: For political junkies who appreciate the ironic and the fanciful, New York magazine has โMemories of the Gore Administration.โ Written by โfive (sometime) novelistsโ โ Kurt Anderson, Kevin Baker, Glenn Beck, Jane Smiley, and Walter Kirn โ itโs an imaginary look at the last ten years as if the 2000 election had gone the other way.
In this fictitious look back, 9/11 still happened (and Flight 93 did hit the White House, although Gore survived), and so did Katrina. (As FEMA director, Robert Gibbs does โa heckuva job.โ) The US invades Afghanistan, but not Iraq. Hillary Clinton becomes vice president, replacing Joe Lieberman, who had resigned in protest over failure to be more confrontational with Iraq and Iran. (This was after Hillary Clinton had divorced Bill Clinton, who married Carla Bruni.) In the 2008 presidential election, Mitt Romney beats John Edwards, whose running mate is โall-around man-of-the-future Barack Obama.โ Romney appoints Sarah Palin as Secretary of the Interior. And so on. :: .CSM
