When we were approaching the year 2012, for shits and giggles I began looking into evidence that it would be the end of the world among religions and philosophy. So, my theory is much in line with yours and is also not scientific. The 21st century is supposedly the age of Aquarius, according to astrology (take that as you will). The Age of Aquarius did not start on January 1st of 2000, but in the year 2012(ish), according to some "experts" who believe that stuff. The Age of Aquarius is an age of change and could be seen as the end of the world...as we know it. This falls in line with the Mayans who may have just gotten it by luck or had seen something or figured something out or just ran out of space. If you look back at the last 6 years...lots of change. Hell, if you look at 2008 when economies crashed and bitcoin entered the world to plant a seed for great changes, you can see that the 21st century has indeed been a time of change.

Whatever your beliefs, I think we can all agree that our world is going through a massive overhaul and we are in for a hell of a ride the next 100 years and beyond.

"Some astrologers say the Age of Aquarius actually began in 2012. That’s because they believe the star Regulus in the constellation Leo the Lion marked the ancient border between the constellations Leo and Cancer. This star moved to within 30o of the September equinox point in 2012, meaning that Regulus left the sign Leo to enter the sign Virgo in that year. Presuming equal-sized constellations in antiquity, that places the border of the constellations Pisces and Aquarius at 150o west of Regulus, or at the March equinox point. By this reckoning, the Age of Aquarius started in 2012."
