See thats where they are getting confused Baysmoke. They think the Mayans actually predicted EXACT events with specifics.

The katuns were just spans of time that had a certain characteristic. For example:
Katun 8 Ahau. There is an end of greed; there is an end to causing vexation . . . much fighting
This katune refers to the period of the american reveloution.

Katun 13 Ahau There is no lucky day for us
This katune refers to the period when the Spaniards arrived

Katun 5 Ahau Harsh his face, harsh his tidings.
This katune refers to what we are going through right now

Katun 4 Ahau. The Quetzal shall come . . . Kukulcan shall come.
This katune begins on Dec 21, 2012. This is the period of time when the Mayans believed that the creator(s) would return......whoever/whatever they/it might be.

Why 2012: Galactic AlignmentIt also has to do with the Galactic aligniment on 2012 dec. 21

This is exactly what I mean by hindsight being 20/20.

The end of greed, much vexation and much fighting. That could be ANY war or fight at ANY TIME!!! How could you settle on any one thing? Wars were going on in other places at the time. Why American Revolutionary War?

There is no lucky day for us. Again...making things fit AFTER the fact. Why couldnt this be talkng about the Aztecs kicking the Mayans' asses in South America. Nothing refers to the Spaniards.

Harsh his face, Harsh his tidings. How does this refer to this day and time we're in right now? This one is even more of a reach than the previous two. In no way does this refer to ANYTHING about this period in time.

The Quetzal shall come...Kulkukan shall come. Are Quetzal or Kulkukan terms for the end of time? Doesnt sound like it. Sounds like they are expecting the return of someone....And didnt they accept Cortez the conqueror as being this "Kulkukan"? He was expected to arrive from the sea (like Cortez) and be pale (like Cortez) and have a beard (like Cortez). Alot of scholars say that had they not believed Cortez was the returning "One" they probably would have fucked him up. Anyway...the point being...that I doubt that that last Katun refers to the end of time.

No insult meant to anyone who buys any of this but it's all pseudo-science mumbo jumbo. Just like Nostradamus. After the fact it's very easy to reinterpret a "prediction" to match almost any historical occurence. And you know what they say, "if you throw enough bullshit against the wall, eventually some will stick".

I completely agree with you Blood. The whole prophecy concept is a little far fetched. This is indeed what people today have related to these katunes. I'm putting more faith in the scientific studies about the solar system and the galaxy than I am in predictions.

Like Baysmoke said earlier, there are predictions for after this period, so it is not supposed to be "the end of time" so to speak, but rather what you said earlier about how the Earth cleanses itself from time to time.

Something definitely will happen on that date, I assure you. I will wake up, take a dump, have some bfast, drop my little one off at school and go to work. Work will be the usual same old same old. I'll get home, have some dinner, see my little one off to bed (she won't be so little in 5 years), and light up a big bowl with the Mrs. What happens after that is unpredictable at this point.
