Ancient Text Confirms Mayan Calendar End Date

A newly discovered Mayan text reveals the "end date" for the Mayan calendar, becoming only the second known document to do so. But unlike some modern people, ancient Maya did not expect the world to end on that date, researchers said.

"This text talks about ancient political history rather than prophecy," Marcello Canuto, the director of Tulane University Middle America Research Institute, said in a statement. "This new evidence suggests that the 13 bak'tun date was an important calendrical event that would have been celebrated by the ancient Maya; however, they make no apocalyptic prophecies whatsoever regarding the date."

So it’s not over until the Mayan’s say it’s over?

Does anyone keep an end-of-world cult list?

I’d like to make some purchases and save big money.

What comes first, the 12th Imam or the 13th bak'tun?

There is no end in the Mayan Calendar. Even Wiki has debunked this.
