Google marks 13th Baktun 21 December 2012

Google has marked the end of the '13th Baktun' as calculated by the Mayans, by replacing its usual logo with an image of a stone carving.
 
 Clicking on the image directs visitors to search results  for "End of the 13th Baktun".
The 13th Baktun is a measurement of time on the Long Count calendar.
Descendants of the Mayans have insisted the calendar continues to the 14th baktun and rather than being doom-laden, heralds a time of hope, renewal and change.
 
The event has attracted crowds to several sacred sites including Mayan ruins, the Egyptian pyramids and the sphinx, and Stonehenge.
