[Aztlan] Query: Maya 2012 prediction

[Hoopes, John W]

Here are two articles that may help:
 
The Final Days, by Benjamin Anastas
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/01/magazine/01world-t.html
 
Five Years: 2012 and the End of the World As We Know It, by Tom King
http://www.lawrence.com/news/2007/dec/10/five_years/
 
The latter has lots of links to additional information, both speculative and skeptical, as well as a lengthy discussion in the comments section.
