Most of us must have heard about the new of the 2012 end time prophecy that says that the world will end on December 21, 2012. As with any other prophecies, predictions, forecasting, we will never know if they are true until they happen and proven true.

The ancient Mayan civilization were inhabitants of the earth some two thousand years before Christ. They were then one of the most advanced people, if not the most modern in the face of the earth. They were extremely skilled in astrology and mathematics.

They were also expert in astronomy and quite knowledgeable about the movement of the constellations and its celestial activities. They also invented a unique calendar based on the movement of these stars that eventually controlled the course of their everyday lives.

They were able to successfully measure the length of their own year based on solar activity and was successful in studying celestial activities. And they were able to make accurate mathematical calculations without any use of electronic calculators that we have today.
