In Guatemala there is a rumor that several of people have committed suicide as they believed that the world will cease to exist in 2012. Accordingly, a forum named ``Institute for Human Continuity`` (IHC) is formed. It starts constructing gigantic protective ships/ vessels under the Himalayas to face the dooms day. However, they discover that a global disaster caused by the dislocation of the Earth's outer layer will take place earlier than anticipated. Many cities and civilizations are completely destroyed.
