Just checked out this stuff on Wikipedia. Interesting. According the Mayan calendar, the period we are in begain about 3,000 B.C. That is, their "beginning" or rebirth occurred while the Egyptians had been in full swing for a long time. Not exactly the instance of creation, so to speak. And the date is either the 21st or 23rd. And some of the cited Mayan sources apparently use an epoch containing twenty periods instead of the thirty required for the above-mentioned end date, which means the world ended about 1/3 of the way back. Geez, but it's confusing. Think I will just rent Apocalypto and watch it, again. Maybe I will understand things a bit better. Or not. (Good movie, BTW)
