ORIGINAL: Myles Id say the Mayans were more in tune with the universe than modern man would like to admit, many ancient civilizations lived their lives by what the stars told them. I dont know if the world will end on that date, but I wouldnt be surprised to see some cataclysmic event happen. There are two schools of thought on earth changes, one being slow and taking thousands if not millions of years , the other is sudden and violent, who is to say that the Mayans are totally wrong? with the way modern man has pumped billions of tonsof crap into the atmosphere and polluted areas beyond repair, perhaps Mother Earth sees man as a virus and is trying to expell us, just as your body may attempt to expell a cold. I for one rule nothng out on that date. ANd the Mayans are not the only ones who predicted the end in that year. Uh, dude, the Mayans didn't predict the end of the world in 2012. "December 23, 2012 will be 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ahau 3 Kankin, the day when the 13 baktuns will end and the Long Count returns to the symmetry of the beginning. The Mayans, however, did not conceive this to be the end of creation, as many have suggested. Pacal, the great king of Palenque, predicted in his inscriptions that the 80th Calandar Ri=ound of his accession would be celebrated eight days after the first eight-thousand year cycle in the Mayan calandar ends." From "A Forest of Kings: The Untold Story of the Mayans", Linda Schele and David Friedel: William Morrow and Co., NY, 1990, pg.82. Note that these people are REAL anthropologists, the ones who helped crack the code of the Mayan language and calandar. Welcome to the real world, Neo.
