Thanks, Peggy. I am sure that so many centuries ago that 2012 was a date that was so far away that they predicted it because it did seem so far away. I was looking at the date and thought maybe it was because of the same forward and backward, but that would be Dec 2, 2012 - 20121202

Dec 21, 2012 is the day that the Mayan calender ended. According to history, they had the ability to predict events into the future and they say that the predictions always came true. So many people believe that since the calendar ended on Dec21, 2012 it means that is because that is the day that the world will end. They even made a movie on it, can't remember the name of it, sorry. It is a very ancient culture, who wasn't even discovered until centuries later by archeologist. Google 'Mayan calendar, Mayan culture, etc and you will find many links. It is a fascinating culture, and if you keep linking for their culture, you will find pictures of their city high up on a plateau and a lot of info on the Mayan culture, and pictures of the actual calendar. -------Original Message------- From: Joan Croft <mailto:[email protected]> Date: 4/25/2011 11:50:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] Checking in - found some Chi collectibles Humor me if I am stupid.but what is the significance of December 21, 2012?

I saw an article and pictures once on the Mayan culture, and most of the chi's that they showed, were the larger deer head type of chi's. They adored the breed. Some literature said that they would kill the dog, so it could rest with it's master. Another article said that they buried the dog alive in the tomb with it's master, and would make a running spring of water and leave tons of food so it could live out it's life in the tomb while guarding it's master until they were united again. There is a lot of mystery about their culture, but they were a highly intelligent culture as well. Guess we will all find out how intelligent they were when Dec 21, 2012 comes around. -------Original Message------- From: [email protected] Date: 4/25/2011 3:48:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Checking in - found some Chi collectibles I bought a precious clay figure of a Chihuahua, its modeled on the drawings found in Mayan ruins of the little dog that would often be buried with its master to "lead the way to the underworld". I'll take some photos of it later. Gloria
