They also wrote the calendar where the world ends in 2012: "The events predicted for 2012 by the ancient Maya are not substantially different than those predicted by sages throughout the millennia. Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and other seers have predicted similar events marking 'the end of time.' And the Maya are only one of many indigenous cultures that have spoken of their deeply held vision for the events near and immediately after the end of time." --- http://godchannel.com/grandfatherinterview2.html ;-) Cheers!

Presumably they're all dead now. I wonder how they felt considering their prophesy hadn't come true (maybe they just thought they'd got the timing out slightly) and will Bill Sloman feel the same ?

When I was there, they were in the fifth year of a drought, and started building a desalination plant to provide water. They were encouraging conservation so well, that the sewers were backing up due to lack of flow to keep them clear. Then, just after I left, they got some rain, and the drought was over. Then, they got some more rain. And, then some more rain, and they were having mudslides and flooding all over the place. Then, some one did a little research. A hundred years before, there was a great harbor at Santa Barbara, one of the reasons it was settled. But, then they had a drought for six years, and the settlers were hard put to survive. Then it started raining, and raining and raining. The harbor is still a major transportation hub for the town, but it is now called the Airport! Charlie |
