Hollywood biggie 2012 releases in India [Images] this week. It is based on the ancient Mayan prediction that 2012 will be the earth's last year in existence and that the Third Rock from the Sun will be destroyed thereafter.
While Armageddon [Images] movie buffs look forward to Emmerich's special effects and visuals extravaganzas --he is, after all, the director of Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow and 10,000 BC, among other films -- let's check out the Mayan prophesy.
The Mayan civilisation is believed to have stretched from the Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador to Mexico in Central America. Mayan art, architecture, languages, mathematical and astronomical accomplishments are studied even today.
The Mayans are credited with perfecting a calendar -- one that draws to a close on December 21, 2012.
Now whether you believe that the world is going to end three years from now or not, it does bring up one very interesting question -- if you had only from now until 2012 to live life to the fullest, what would you do?
Let us know the 10 things that would make it to your priority list if you had only three years to live.
Adventurous, moving, tender, unusual, funny -- they can be anything you want. Just let us know what you'd do.
