I am currently in El Remate, a small Guatemalan village close to Tikal, one of the largest Mayan Ruins in Central America. I attended a fire ceremony on the 12/12/12, Mayan New Year at Tikal.<br /><br />I have tried hard to find a Mayan Expert to explain what the end of Mayan era (baktun) means. I have realised no one really knows what the new era will bring. <br /><br />Many people from around the world are now being drawn to Mayan sites in Central America. The general feeling I get from talking to people is that they feel the world is at a ecological tipping point, and many hold hope that the Mayan's held some secret astrological knowledge that pinpoints december 21st as a time when things change for the better. <br /><br />One thing is for certain, no where did the Mayan's state December 21st will be the end of the world!
