Hey, listeros,
I should like to announce a lecture & workshop in Santa Fe next weekend.
In it I shall present what we have on Maya beliefs about the 13.0.0.0.0 date, and what they believed about cyclic time. I hope to convince a few of the "true believers" that the Real Maya (and Aztecs) are far more interesting than the caricatures presented by 2012ologists in the popular press.
I'll let y'all know how it goes.
Thanks,
Mark Van Stone
