Thanks to DUer Proud_Lefty, I recently watched some DVDs which contained a workshop in reference to the Mayan Calendar. I was not at all familiar with the Mayan Calendar prior to watching this workshop, and I wondered how much the Mayan Calendar had been discussed previously in this group. A search showed that there's not been much discussion.
Therefore, I thought that posting some information might be useful.
The workshop that I watched was presented by Ian Lungold, who passed away in November of 2005.
Here's a link to an article written by Ian entitled
Our Future According to the Mayan Calendar:
http://www.2012.com.au/Our%20future-Mayan%20calendar.htmlCarl Johan Calleman wrote the book
Solving the Greatest Mystery of our Time: The Mayan Calendar, which is the book on which Ian's workshop was based. Here's an article written by Carl that provides some additional information:
