Not a movie you'd see right after you eat a big meal...but the Mayan Civilization is fascinating. I just saw something on the Travel Channel dealing with the Maya. They have one of the most accurate calendars in the world, and it ends on December 21st, 2012. Some say it's the end of the world, but I believe (and others) that there will be some event, like a polar shift or a solar alignment. They were quite advanced in astronomy. |
It's when the center of our galaxy lines up with the center of another galaxy, theres theories that the Maya believed that this is how evil spirits will enter our world. It's amazing that there were able to predict that hundreds of years ago.
The Maya also believed that the world is cyclical, being born and dying only to be reborn. 2012 is when the current period of the world will "end." It doesn't seem likely but you would be lying if you aren't just a bit nervous when that day comes.
