Exactly. Such a society would not be capable of predicting the future that well if you ask me.My my. Just imagine all the looting and baby selling going on over all that crack. Such a shame.

The mayans had three calendars. Whenever these three calendars New Year dates fell on the same day it became known as an age. There were suppose to be five of these ages. At the end of each age there is suppose ot be a reawakening however we are in the last of the five ages now. IT is odd however that the Mayans had calendar dates longer than the time from the birth of their civilization until now, some even stretching into the millions of years.[QUOTE="Saturos3091"]
I applaud your creativity but they were wrong for one reason.
The calendar has ended before and is based on a cycle. We didn't go extinct last time and so we won't this time either.BumFluff122
Yea i suppose you gotta give them that. They were thinking wayyy ahead of their time.

I stand corrected. :)
Ah yes. Tricked by google images i was. Thanks for pointing that out.Since when were the Mayans a civilized tribe? That last image is an egyptian image. you need to get your facts straight as well as your images.

Quite simply, the Mayans were on crack:
No not that kind of crack!
Yes there we go, much better.
Now its pretty well known that the Mayan were a fairly advanced tribe, but why do you think that is? Well frankly, they had crack. No other tribe at this time was able to produce this drug and this gave the Mayans extreme power and rule over their inferiors.
After all, it would take someone on crack to build crap like this:
And name your cities names like this:
Also, one of the lords of Tikal's name was Smoking-Frog! I wonder where he got that name from?
Now lets look at some of the factors that brought down the Mayan culture.
-Civil war-
Well its quite obvious that crack had long term effects on the Mayans. It slowly drove them crazy until they could barely think for themselves, resulting in every man turning against their peers in blood-thirsty battle to get more crack.
-Foreign Conquest-
As shown in the image above, when the Mexians first intruded 500 years before the Spanish, the Mayans were basically high off their arses. Its not too difficult to take over an empire when your enemies cant even see straight.
-Economic Collapse-
It is assumed that the economic collapse came about because the common people were treated unfairly. They spent most of their lives growing these crack crops but were never able to own any of it for themselves. The nobles took advantage of them and made them pay most of their income and crops to them, resulting in the common people revolting and inducing an economic crisis.
And lets not forget about the infamous Mayan calendar:
Now when you sit back and look at it......You cant help but think how much sense it makes that someone had to be completely stoned to make something this bizarre.
A new stone carving was found not too long ago, and in it a Mayan was depicted making this calendar, while on the reefer. Coincidence??
And to further prove the point, i'll show just a few more pictures of Mayans getting stoned out of their minds. In this first one you can even see what appears to be a giant roll of crack almost as big as the Mayan himself. (Due to time constraints the actual image was substituted with this Egyptian one)
Modern-day Mayans still practicing their ancestors traditions:
Now i ask you, do you still think you can trust the Mayan calendar?
