" Maybe there is a reason that MesoAmericans were obsessed by the theory of cyclical destructions being visited upon them? Evidence now points to the fact that Civilization rose in the Americas before it did in Europe."

Weren't they on a 52 year cycle of some sort?...and they predicted the end times in 2002 or 2012? (...or, at least their calendar does not go beyond that date?)

I believe the Mayans had a 52 year cycle of of some sort incorporated into their calendar-I'll look at my copy of The Mayan Prophecies and get back to you on that,as I'm not sure. FWIW,I also seem to remember something being mentioned about a 52 year lunar eclipse cycle that was somehow related to the Stonehenge site. IF memory serves,the Stonehenge site was supposed to be able to accurately predict lunar eclipses,and I believe that lunar eclipses run on a 52 year cycle(something like that,anyway-more coffee is desperately required at the moment).

Their cycle is up December 21, 2012.

Then, it starts all over again.
