i've always wondered if the Mayans disappeared because their Reptilian gods took them all underground to feed on them

way up in Canada, an entire village of the Original People -- all the Humans just disappeared -- the sled dogs were left to starve on their chains

So they "discovered" that a cyclic calendar keeps cycling..?!? Wow.

No bearing on the events unfolding on the closing of this cycle but makes a good headline I guess.

A common misconception. The Mayans never predicted an apocalypse or anything of the sort, they predicted the end of a way and the birth of a new dawn. This is very different than an apocalypse. I suspect that this little linguistic cantrip was engineered for the purpose of discrediting the ancient knowledge of the holy people, who have been correct on far more counts than can be measured.

I am ceaselessly amazed by the ability of human minds to draw conclusions about information that is only tangentially, if not cursorily, understood. Quaerendo Invenietis - By seeking, you will discover.

I don't think there will be a difference between apocalypse and the birthing of a new age.

What struck me was that one of the images appeared to show an Egyptian:

The painting by artist Heather Hurst re-creates the design and colors of the original Maya artwork at the site:

Those hats definitely seem Egyptian to me ... now when was it the Americas were supposedly discovered?

Then perhaps you had best open a dictionary and learn the language that you use.

What they predicted was the end of an era, and the bigining of another one at a higher frecuency

Correct Rantaak the mayans speak of the end of the one of many cycles ending at this time, End of an age or end of time as we know it.

Also apocalypse does not mean the end either, apocalypse comes from the Greek word apokálypsis which translated means " Lifting of the Veil" or revealing of something hidden, A revelation.

no mention of doom and gloom end of the world but the beginning of a new cycle and a new age on earth.

enjoy

peace

Thanks for bringing this to light. It is interesting to me that despite this true meaning of the word, people have a tendency of envisioning explosions and catastrophic harm when they think of the word, "Apocalypse."

A lifting of the veil is exactly what is needed :-)
