Yes, that's approximately the level we're working on here. Also see: your daily horroscope.
Quote:And from my understanding the Mayan caldendar is not cyclical, it has an ending. And that ending is somewhere around the Winter Solstace of 2012 (I'm not saying this day is the end of the world, only the end of the calendar).
And your understanding is based on what? The quick-and-dirty wikipedia clearly contradicts this concept. Everything I've ever read in the scholarly literature on the topic emphasizes that the Mayans have a cyclical interpretation of events, which would mean the "end" of the calendar would be nonsensical.
