The Mayan Calendar has recently been the focus of a lot of interest for the past decade. The main reason for the public’s appeal, interest, curiosity and anxiety is the mayan calendar end of the world prophecy, which is said to take place less than two years from now, in 2012. The ancient Mayans are an indigenous civilization from Central America and had lived thousands of years ago around Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula; a group of people that are far advanced in their studies of astronomy and mathematics as well as being highly religious. The Mayan’s highly developed knowledge of astronomy and their creativity as well as culture is demonstrated through the discoveries of their pictorial alphabet as well as their drawings, the interpretations of which illustrate that the ancient Mayans existed even before the Spanish reached Central America.( 0 Votes )
