2012...End of Time

The Mayan 2012 prophecy offers an alternative to your run of the mill, Book of Revelations end times theory. The History Channel, National Geographic Channel and Discovery have devoted a lot of time to the Revelation subject, probably due to the 'Left Behind' series and its popularity. The Mayan prophecy is intriguing, probably because I don't know a whole lot about it. Every time I listen to Coast to Coast AM, or any of the other fringe media programs I come across, folks speak about the Mayan 2012 prophecy as if it's common knowledge. I'm going to pick up this Daniel Pinchbeck book as soon as it's in paperback. In the mean time this article, originally from the NY Times, is a good synopsis of this prophecy and some of its believers.
