New info:
I'm taking an anthropological religion course at uni right now and my teacher is a scholar of ancient mayan civilization. He is published and can read their "hieroglyphs (sp?)" himself. I think he even speaks some of their language. Basically, he has spent 20 years researching their civilization.
Anyhow, he says that according to all evidence, the mayans made NO predictions for 2012. The only thing they said is that it is the end of the current cycle of four ages, and on the winter solstice of 2012, we will go back to the beginning of a new cycle. That's it.
Seeing as they cycles last thousands of years each, 2012 does seem somewhat significant. However, as far as end of the world predictions go, he summed them up nicely with, "bull shit."
Just thought ya'll might be interested in that.
