Dec 21, 1212 is the end of the Baktun of years by the Mayan calendar. By that calendar we start a new cycle of years then. Some "new agers" have interpretted this as the end of the world as we know it. This is based on the "Well they were old astronomer/astrologers, and mysterious, and so they must have known something" thinking.

Just like 2000 and every auspicious date so far we will still be here the next day.
