MAYAN CALENDAR ?

Mayan Calendar, Mayans. Mayan villages, Mayan peoples, Mayan predictions, What do you know about it? Can you fill me in. I've read some pretty heavy stuff about the year 2012.  Some like to set dates. Others think they are in the know. The world is full of Nostradamus's. Christ will come at the appointed time and not before. Reading some of the other views is actually fun. You get a real cross reference of beliefs and some of the stuff even challenges you to be stronger in your faith. "I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I've committed unto Him against that day" and that's all there is to it for me. What say you?
