''[[2012]]'' is a movie based on the prediction that the [[The End of the World as We Know It|world ~~will~~ end]] on December 21st, 2012. This prediction is itself based on the ~~fact~~ that the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar rolls over somewhere in the vicinity of 2012-12-21, in much the same way that [[Millennium Bug|the Gregorian calendar rolled over on 2000-01-01]].

''[[2012]]'' is a movie based on the prediction that the [[The End of the World as We Know It|world would end]] on December 21st, 2012. This prediction was itself based on the observation that the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar rolls over somewhere in the vicinity of 2012-12-21, in much the same way that [[Millennium Bug|the Gregorian calendar rolled over on 2000-01-01]].

The first trailer for the movie showcased a Tibetan monk bashing a giant bell with a log on top of a mountain in the Himalayas (this is the same mountain range as Everest, keep in mind) while various shots of water rushing and rumbling can be heard. Then, all of a sudden, ''boom'', a massive torrent of water goes '''over the mountains''' and engulfs everything.
