What Happened to the Mayans?

I don't see what you all are so worried about. Why would you listen to something that a group of people, who didn't even last by the way, said thousands of years ago? If they were so knowledgable then why don't we pass by them nowadays? The Mayans obviously aren't around anymore and maybe they knew they wouldn't be so why would they care to continue their calander? Maybe they realized that it was hopeless for them and they might as well stop being foolish and it just happened to be the date of December 21, 2012 when they ended it. Think about it, it's a pretty clever analysis. I say just get over it and live your life now, just incase for some strange reason that actually does end up being the end of the world...

Actually the Mayans weren't totally wiped out by the spanish conquistadors...you see them all the time. Some people that you meet from central america are their descendants. The only reason they don't exist like they once did is cause most of their civilization was whipped out by the Spainiards who were mistaken for their gods. As a matter of fact the calendar does not stop at 2012 it is simply a transition where the calendar basically is starting over...think of it like a 24 hour clock. 2012 on the Mayan calendar represents a new era...a new beginning.

perhaps the calender ended on a certain date due to some belief system the Mayans had. But i don't think so. Just because one cycle of a calender ends and another begins doesn't mean something is going to happen. People get so obsessed with numbers and dates...why? 2000 was supposed to be a special date - it was a milestone, nothing more. The world changed, but it changes every single second of every single day. When my 2008 calender ended I didn't scream and run into the hills...I went and brought a 2009 calender.

So no, I don't see what people are so worried about either - superstition i think.

i don't entirely know myself, but according to the legends, they ascended to a point of departure, this dimension was no longer needed for them and they moved up one.
and other accounts say they left this planet for another.

I think the mayans simply ran out of rock space past December 21st, 2012.

There are plenty of Mayans "running around". They live in the Yucatan, Guatamala New York, San Francisco, and maybe even near you. You may want to pick up a history text and read it. And then go and get yourself some excellent Mayan cuisine - that is if you can figure out how to find a local Mayan! Or perhaps you live in rural Idaho?

The Mayans who wrote the calendar were smart aliens, they went back home. They left behind dumb human followers who eventually interbred and died out.

It wasn't Just the Mayans By the way there were like 12-14 colonies on the planet and like 9 used our Time table that we use to day ( 60secs 60mins) And they all ended at that date, Scattered across the planet thousands of years ago, how could they all just stop for no apparent reason.

2012 is just the end of a 20 year cycle and the new 20 year cycle states: For half of the katun (20 year Mayan cycle) there will be food, for half some misfortunes. This katun brings the end of the "word of God." It is a time of uniting for a cause...(http://www.2012endofdays.org/general/Predictions-for-2012.php)

WOOT!!! After 2012 it's the end to wingnuts and their wingnuttery ! There will only be food for the intellectuals and misfortune for the superstitious sheep. With the religious maniac's gone there will be peace and prosperity on earth at last ! This is the "TRUE" rapture.

Bravo!! The light at the end of the tunnel. 2000 years of oppression coming to an end. This revaluation brought tears to my eyes.
