I should point out re: End of World type stuff, that I don't mean to include our Evangelical nonsense since it's just too preposterous for words. I'm intrigued by anything that seems to defy chance - and, since chance rules supreme it's not easy to defy it. Specifically, only one book from the Mayan (let's call it encyclopedia) has survived; and this one surviving book just happens to be the very one detailing all this End of World prophecy - almost too much of a coincidence if, in fact, it's been correctly interpreted, which it couldn't possibly have been without the wider of context provided by all the Mayan books. Also, it boggles the mind that a culture which supposedly believed a blood sacrifice was needed to insure the sun's rising next morning gets credited with being the world's supreme astronomers! (Though I'm sure the weaving of sacrifice into the astronomy came from socio-political machinations rather than faulty science.)
