Most people see it as the end of an era and the opening of a Golden Age. Many others see it as the rapidly approaching end of the world.\u003cbr\u003eWhat most of these prophets seem to forget is that it had to be something the Maya themselves had predicted for the end of their calendar. Most scholars of the Mayans claim it is nothing but the end of the calendar and a new one will start immediately following, just like the calendars we use.\u003cbr\u003eBut why one of such an incredible length of time, and measured in days rather than years?\u003cbr\u003eThe Mayan scholars, the New Age gurus and the prophets of doom each seem to have their own agenda and it is not supported in the writings of the Maya themselves.\u003cbr\u003eSo, what were they really talking about?\u003cbr\u003eExamine the search through the Mayan records and discovery the very different meaning they themselves had applied to the end of their ancient calendar.","brand":"Martian Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070665867504,"sku":"2940014564656","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014564656_p0.jpg?v=1763611058","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014564656","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
