Newly discovered Mayan calendar goes way past 2012
 
OK the villages can continue building, the world will not end this December.

Newly discovered wall writings found in Guatemala show the famed Maya culture's obsession with cycles of time. But they also show calendars that go well beyond 2012, the year when the vanished civilization, according to popular culture, expected the end of the world.

"So much for the supposed end of the world," says archaeologist William Saturno of Boston University, lead author of a study in the journal Science, which reported the discovery on Thursday.

It was never going to end in the first place, all that is going to happen is that some of the weather patterns might change due to the shift of a few degrees between 5-7, every 26,000 years of the earths poles. Now I ask, how did the Mayans know that? Interesting right.

He is talking, it just that no one is listening.
