Quote:The "cyclical interpretation" you refer to does indeed have both a begining and an end (multiple beginings and ends actually), each begining and end marking the coming of a new "age" (or world).
December 21st, 2012 is the "end" of this "age" (and perhaps the begining of another).
So why would these mayans 'predict' an end of an age long after their hole civilization has been destroyed? In the time these calendars were made they were no aware of there being a europe, afrika and asia (correct me if I am wrong). So what would end of age mean in this case?
