The thing I really want to know is... How is the Mayan Prophecy so Accurate? What do You Think?
Go back another 5250 years, brings us to ~ 8500 BCE, which is about the time of the agricultural revolution and the end of nomadic tribal life. Another long count takes us to about the time animals started to be domesticated, most notably, dogs, to help with the hunt. Notice all of these things would have had a massive impact as they swept across the world. And they all seem to have brought us closer together, for better or worse.

Most predictions were actually made before the date of their occurrence, If you ever hear about anyone making a whole string of 'accurate predictions', the claim is almost certainly fake.

I know this is not the point of the Thread at all and this observation might be considered picky but...I don't understand the Macchu Picchu reference which is Incan and technically not Meso-American. There are several notable differences between the Meso vs the Andean that don't only subscribe to their religions. Just wondering why it was included.
While we are forgetting about the Hollywood scripted version, why don't we forget about the PTB scripted version as well, where no ancient civilizations existed before 10,000 BC? There seems to be much evidence for these civilizations, very ancient ones, and surprising as that is too many who have bought into the PTB version, just as surprising are the attempts to sweep such evidence under the rug.

How about Lemuria? Or Atlantis?

Exactly. Give our civilization another 500 years and we wont have nearly as much material artifacts to leave behind. The previous civilization that ended abruptly during the great cataclysmic event that occurred around 10,000 years ago would have ended progress as they new it.
In just a 1,000 years later there would be no traces left of anything built by these people except for giant stone structures that could withstand the test of time. Like the pyramids, which were the old power generators for the previous civilization. I'm sure the "elite" from that civilization somehow managed to escape the planet before the big event (just as they are trying to do today). I'm also sure that the so called aliens we see today are direct decedents of these ancient people.
If we were to walk away from all we have built today and not fix anything or update anything and just let it go, there would be nothing left but dust in a 1,000 years time. The pyramids however will still be there, just a little more weathered than they are now. And maybe a few other large stone structures, but definitely not normal buildings. All glass, metal , concrete, wires, trash, will be long gone and turned to dust (unless somethings become fossilized) without fossils we would have 0 evidence of anything that we have now.edit on 23-11-2012 by DrGod because: (no reason given)

Hold on a second. One question I've been burning to ask the leaders of this world - the Presidents and Prime Ministers of every country currently in existence - is: What is the grand plan? Where are we going as a world? What is our ultimate goal, as a species? Are we simply fighting to continue our existence, or are we building up ton a grand finale? Are we struggling to maintain our current phase? Or are we moving forward toward something greater?
I don't want to help build a "yellow brick road" that we can't afford - not when I don't know where it's going. I didn't choose to be here, I didn't choose to be alive, and yet I'm supposed to willingly build a mysterious highway to an unknown future? Not likely. Either I know where I'm leading the future generations, or I'm going to help create a waystation for them to rest while they figure out whether they support that destination.
So what is it? What is our goal as a species? Are we escaping the destruction we've worked to hard to cultivate on this planet? Are we trying to become gods? Are we just struggling to keep from destroying ourselves and draining this world as long as we can before self-destruction becomes inevitable?
What is the endgame? IS there an endgame? This question burns within me. I want to know if there is a mortal purpose, as determined by our great and mighty rulers of this world. I want to know if our elders have engineered a grand plan for the future of this species. Do you know of any?edit on 23-11-2012 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)

The Parthenon in Rome, Italy, is well over 1,000 years old, totally made of concrete, and still standing, concrete never really stops maturing, it just gets better with age, I think the Parthenon will still be there in another 1,000 years. Ancient Roman concrete is a mixture of processed limestone, sand, and volcanic ash, and even sets underwater.
