Does anyone actually have any specifics on like... how the world is going to end? Like relating to Mayan mythology or whatever?

Is the universe going to be swallowed my a dragon? I mean, what is it?

Reading this is like sitting under a cow for the rest of eternity...

But if the Mayans can predict all this fancy stuff thousands of years in future, they still didn't see the Spanish coming, did they? :eyebrow:

I appreciate the Mayans for having an advanced calendar for their time. Really, humans should rise above and beyond all the fiction and myth spread by the media and some particular groups. We should really become a little bit smarter and seek more about it, so that we can ultimately find out about the truth. I trust the scientists on this matter. December 21, 2012 is basically just another day, just like all the other 365 (remember, this is a leap year) days this year.

You're thinking of the Aztecs, I suspect (although the later Maya did spend a long time fighting the Spanish, only eventually being conquered in the eighteenth century). The classical Maya (the guys who invented the calendar) did themselves in with a mixture of climate change, poor infrastructure maintenance, and overpopulation - the Yucatan being mostly limestone, it doesn't hold water very well for agriculture. The classical Maya worked around this by plastering large reservoirs to hold water during the dry season, as well as aqueducts and canals to get it to the fields, but this fell through when a series of wars between the kings of the Maya city-states led to ineffective maintenance of the irrigation system, and then it was all over by 900AD.
