Ha ha Jen !
Despite all the warnings that the world is about to end …maybe this will answer a few questions about the calendar ….
“We have no record or knowledge that [the Maya] would think the world would come to an end” in 2012.Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, said,
“For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle”, and, “The 2012 phenomenon is a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in”. “There will be another cycle”, said E. Wyllys Andrews V, director of the Tulane University Middle American Research Institute. “We know the Maya thought there was one before this, and that implies they were comfortable with the idea of another one after this.”Commenting on the new calendar, one archaeologist said “The ancient Maya predicted the world would continue – that 7,000 years from now, things would be exactly like this. We keep looking for endings. The Maya were looking for a guarantee that nothing would change. It’s an entirely different mindset.”
