To understand the meaning of 2012, we need to start from the Mayan calendar ( http://www.amareway.org/holisticliving/04/free-kindle-boo... ), which consists of several cycles. There was a 260 day count (Tzolkin, or Tzolk'in). A 365-day solar year known as the Haab. A 584-day Venus cycle was maintained, and some events - like warfare - were astrologically timed to coincide with stages in this cycle.

To track longer periods of time, and in official cronologies, the Long Count was used, which starts from a mythological starting-point, equivalent to August 11, 3114 BCE in the Gregorian calendar according to the Goodman-Martinez-Thompson interpretation. It is important to note that, considering the length of times considered, a minor mistake in contemporary calculations may have resulted in errors of months/years. The cycles of the Long Count are independent of the solar year.
