what's so special about 2012?
Well that's when the Mayans predicted that the world will end. They predicted that we would be in everlasting war, famine and hunger would sweep the world, a lot of natural disasters and so on... U could read more about it if u google 2012 Doomsday
The world died
I like how there are all these doomsdays, and then like when they come along and nothing happens, everyone just picks a new date.

Re: The world died
That's exactly true. Every decade seems to have some date of the end of the world. When 2012 comes and goes people will proclaim that Eskimos predict 2023. I remember in 2000 when they were so sure.
Supposedly the Mayans could predict the end of the World, but confused the Conquistadors for Gods.

The Mayans also believed in human sacrifice and had death cults that wore the skins of executed prisoners over their own skins, and never took them off until the deceased flesh literally rotted off the wearer's body. Not a very pleasant culture.
They didn't really. They had a shipwrecked Spaniard already living with them, who 'went native' and became an important man in one community. When the first group of conquistadors landed he organized a surprise attack and killed a bunch of them.

Didn't that one explorer get mistook for a Mayan God by that one ruler and showered him with gold and let the Spanish do whatever they wanted (I don't remember the names)?

That was Hernan Cortes you are talking about, I think. He told the Aztecs he was a god but they didn't really believe him, although they played along with it because they knew the Spaniards were powerful. They did think the guns and cannons were magical in some way. The Aztec leader Moctezuma was really stupid, he alternately tried to bribe the Spaniards with gold or attack them, and then acted like the attacks were all a big misunderstanding when they failed. He wound up getting held prisoner in his own palace and let the Spaniards run the city for fear of his life, until his own people revolted and killed him.

the mayans ran out of space on their calendar and it so happened to stop at 2012?

The Indians called Cortez "Tonatiw" which means sun, not because he was like a god but because his hair was shiny and red, something that made him stand out from everyone else who had black hair.
Don't know what's to happen in 2012, the only thing I can think of is that if it's the 'end' of the calendar, maybe it just starts from the beginning again?
They believe time is cyclical, so why wouldn't it just start a new cycle or something?
