Yup! It's the Mayan version of the New Millennium!

And yes, that's all it was ever going to be -- even in ancient Mayan mythology.

Let's hope the next 394.26 years is better than the last 394.26 years...

Be good to each other, people!

And a happy new B'ak'tun to you!

I could write a post about how problematic the deliberate misunderstanding of other culture's myths in the name of sensationalism is. I am so tired of the mystical-prophetic view of non-Western.
