January 4, 200620 yr The Mayans predicted that the world will end on December 21, 2012. We'll find out wheather or not this is true soon enough. Still, it's fascinating stuff.
January 4, 200620 yr i posted this a while back!!but i think it is 12/23/12 :woot :woot ..2 more days :plain
January 4, 200620 yr They didn't see the Spanish coming, did they? Dumbasses. :plain :lol Beat me to the joke
January 4, 200620 yr well i've already ascended this http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:cDXVrrARWfAJ:www.powerplaces.com/images/photo/yucatan_Chichen-Itza.jpg maybe i'll go to one of their ballcourts for a nice game in the last weeks
January 5, 200620 yr How the f*** could the Mayans predict that if they weren't using Gregorian calendars? Any point about a creepy number correlation is moot.

Did you know the Pyramid of Kukulk?n shown above is designed such that the steps's shadow creates the illusion of a snake moving down the pyramid at the spring and autumn equinoxes? It is truly amazing. The Mayans also were wise enough to build their most prominent settlements away from the coastline...to avoid destruction from deadly hurricanes.
January 5, 200620 yr I'll probably watch Pokemon reruns and eat a lot of macaroni and cheese. On the real, I'd probably do everything that I thought I'd always be too afraid to do. How bad ass would that be?

Yeah, which would mean that there's nothing funny about 12/21/12 or whatever it is, as it would be completely different on the Mayan calendar.
January 5, 200620 yr They didn't see the Spanish coming, did they? Dumbasses. :plain Um... The Mayans were pretty much dead by the time the Spanish arrived. You would be confusing the Mayans with the Aztecs. Genius.
January 5, 200620 yr Isn't their prediction not when the sun will explode or something of that nature but rather when their god will come down and have their version of judgment day?

January 6, 200620 yr I believe so, but you never know. Could be a Quetzal-like prophecy instead of something based on nature.
January 6, 200620 yr They didn't see the Spanish coming, did they? Dumbasses. :plain Um... The Mayans were pretty much dead by the time the Spanish arrived. You would be confusing the Mayans with the Aztecs. Genius. Sure, they decayed within their own civilization, but they were still present in the Yucatan when the Spanish arrived. There certainly was enough resistance as it took them almost two centuries to gain control of the region. and? they were hardly much of a true presence for the Spanish who were more focused on the Aztecs anyway.

There's a difference between the end of the world and the end of a calendar. The Vesti isn't a good place for historical knowledge.

Who stupid do you think I am that I would trust something that comes out of there?
