I believe you are right that it is the Mayan calendar that ends Dec 21, 2012. It DOES NOT however predict the "end of the world", but simply the end of a time or era. That calendar has 13,000 year cycle or times and the above date is simply the end of the most recent era. Since this was either cycle 4 or 5 there is nothing in the calendar that excludes that 22 Dec 2012 is just being the beginning of a new era.

I believe that it is the Mayan calendar that many people claim will end December 21, 2012, leading some to interpret this as a predicted "end of the world" date. Now, however, some people are claiming that this interpretation of the Mayan calendar is off by several weeks and that the real "end of the world" date will be November 6, 2012. . . .

My friend Jo says yesterday was just supposed to be the rapture. She says the EOW comes in October. Who should I believe...the crazy old guy who got it wrong the first time; a defunct native group; or my best friend? OMG, it's just too much for my poor old brain to comprehend! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
