I was in Mexico for a company trip in November 2010. We went on a tour of a Mayan pyramid complex. At the end of the tour the guide asked if anyone had ?'s. My bosses wife asked what about all this 2012 talk about the end of the world. What do you think will happen? The guide a real honest to goodness mayan women told the group this. What the elders tell us is the SUN and planets will have effects on the planet earth. I was shocked at her quick response. I asked will life on earth end? She said not end just have effects on the planet as we know it. Thats my 2 cents worth.
