But it says they were there until the Spanish came on Wikipedia. Not that I actually used that for information, but I could have sworn they were there for a while and the Incas and Aztecs just got the worst of it.

No doubt the Mayans' direct descendants were there during the times, but the society had almost totally collapsed before the Spaniards arrival.

Basically, the Aztecs and Incas got the worst, because there was barely any real Mayan civilization left to conquer.

How do YOU believe the world is going to end, OP?

It's hard to say really, but I assume a solar flare.
Oh man, if only Earth had some magnetic type of field that protects us from that kind of stuff.

Oh well, I guess we're -blam!-.

Wasn't Mayans the ones who got conquered by spaniards?
That was the Aztecs and the Inca.

Puritans in 17th century colonial Massachusetts =/= Mayans who had a vast understanding of the universe and cosmic events

Having an understanding comparable to Astrology is not vast understanding.

Earth's magnetic field will be obliterated by a coronal mass ejection. After that 20% of Earth's surface will be incinerated.

Because disbanding and running around in the mud will stop the end of the world? I can tell they were quite intelligent.

Also, they aren't unknown. We know where descendants of the Mayans live, and they don't even believe the world will end Dec. 21, 2012.

Then they are fools.


Indeed. Not heeding the advice of the wisdom of their ancestors is a grave mistake.

So, we should believe everything our ancestors said without question?

Very well. ATTENTION EVERYONE! OP is a witch, burn the witch!

See how that works?

The Maya also practiced human sacrifice and bloodletting as religious offerings.

Do you know... Anything at all about Earth Science/Astronomy?

Because basically you just shat all over common sense.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

And how do you know this?

How did the Mayans know this?

Can you look directly at the sun, let alone say "Oh, in two thousand years there's going to be a solar flare lol."

You can't even see a solar flare with the naked eye.

If you weren't such a troll I'd enlighten you, but I think reporting you will be more appropriate.

I'm pretty sure the Mayans said that it was just a beginning of a new calender. Where are people getting this end of the world story anyway?

It's an astronomical thing. Also, have you noticed what's been going on the entire year? It's going to climax.
Did you notice how there were three devastating earthquakes in 2011? Or the massive floods in Australia in 2011? Or one of the largest cyclones on record in 2011?

What about Hurricane Katrina in 2005? The Asian tsunami in 2004? The Haiti earthquake in 2010?

Bad -blam!- happens every year, and more bad -blam!- happened in 2011 than this year, actually.

So it all 'building to a climax' this year is pretty silly. You Americans had a big storm and that's proof of the world ending?

Lets not forget the past with ww2 and ww1 and Holocaust and all that. We dont really think about it but we are actually living in such a peaceful time.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Just watch this and this. Pretty sad when Penn and Teller are the most sensible people this generation.
