I'll say this...I wont give any backing to what The Mayans believed. I'll give them credit for being able to get a grip on Astronomy. No easy feat. But they were just one of many to do so.
They picked up on cyclic changes of the cosmos and thats about it. If they could accurately predict the end of the world....they should have been able to predict the arrival of the Spanish....and took steps to deal with them before they got there.
Props for keeping an eye to the sky though.
But did they (The Mayans) actually predict that date as the end of the world.....Or was that the last date found on their calendars and people interpreted it as "their end of the world"?
