Mayan Calendar
The Mayan calendar has a long cycle that is coming to an end, pretty much the same way as our yearly calendars come to an end and a new year begins. The Mayan long cycle ends the old cycle and a new cycle begins. In times of uncertainty, it is sometimes a relief to believe that a disaster will come and make everyone equal in trying to survive and adapt to new conditions. It is also a problem in that some predictions become true because people work to make them true; this is the story behind the movie "The Twelve Monkies".
