FLOODS!!!
Yeah, I saw it on the news last night. SA is having incredible flood problems. Tragic.
As for 2012, the Maya (not Mayan) calendar merely ended in the year 2012, they did NOT predict the end of the world in that year. Their calenday simply went to 2012 and no further. I am reading a book titled In The Courts Of The Sun by Brian D'Amato regarding the Maya so-called end of the world. Yes, the book is fictional, but like its comtemporaries, it includes a lot of factual data coming from Maya ruins, glyphs, etc. I just thought it was interesting.
BTW, Baf, I don't think anyone is pointing the finger at you or accusing you of erroneous statements. Like you, our "siblings" here at UOTM are essentially posting their thoughts, likes and dislikes. Please do not take offense so easily. The world is at war but may their be peace in the Tex Murphy valley.
