My inside scoop (there's a handful of Mayan shamans still around for comment) is end of the 5th "Sun" (5000 year cycle) and beginning of the 6th Sun.First of all the Maya never said the world was going to end. It is merely the end of their long count calendar which measures our equivalent of an epoch. Presumably had their civilization not crumbled their stone carvers would have been busy making a new one. OK anthropologist will climb down from her soapbox before she gets a nosebleed!
Actually the Mayans stopped at this date because they assumed (knew?) by that time nothing would be worth keeping track of.... I'm sure in their opinion they were right.

Actually, our calculations of where the Mayan calendar should end were off....it actually ended a few months or so ago. So, if this is how existence is after the end of the world, can't say I have that many complaints....
notwithstanding that as we got closer and closer to the big flat plane things would gradually be going kablooey and peak at that time, if that were an accurate premise....
So you are saying it is an accurate premise?
nope; things going kablooey and things just being generally stinky aren't really equal imho
you'll know general kablooey when you'll see it, because it won't look like anything else you've seen before
My calendar ends on December 31st of each year. Then I go out and get another one. :wink: And any fan of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy will be spending it at Milliway's.
