Just One Week Left ‘til the End of the World?

12/14/2012

In one week we will arrive at the notorious date of December 21, 2012 – the alleged end of the world.

But will the world really end, or will the 21^st simply pass by as other potential doomsdays have? One way or another, we’ll have the answer next week.

As the 21^st approaches, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Are you prepared to survive the apocalypse?

Whether you’ve built a doomsday bunker or just need to catch up on your survival skills, there’s no time like now to prepare.

And if you are looking for big ideas on how humankind could survive under apocalyptic circumstances, Discovery News has you covered, from explaining how we could pull off stunts such as deflecting near-Earth objects and colonizing Mars. The thing is, will you be ready?

Perhaps more importantly, if next Friday truly is our last day on Earth, how will you spend it?

Will you be stocking up on last-minute supplies? Taking it easy with your loved ones? Or heading to the center of it all at the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza?
