They were great mathematicians and their skill lends enough credence to at least study and contemplate their observations. I advocate no more or less. I would just suggest people study it and decide for themselves. (They never stated it was the END of existence, just this period of time and did not indicate what, if anything would happen.)
My last paragraph was trying to separate people who merely find the Mayan culture (or any culture for that matter) interesting from those who will take aspects of that culture and turn it into some freaking prognostication of impending doom and be serious about it. You seem very much part of the former group and I have not the slightest issue with. I mean, History Channel rocks. That latter group of nutcases...well, you know.
