    The latest New Age apocalyptic

    preoccupation is based on a curious

    misreading o the ancient Mayan

    calendar. This interpretation (rejected by

    Mayan elders and serious scholars alike)suggests that the calendars ending in

    2012 portends a world-ending or at

    least world-changing cataclysm in that

    year. Well take a serious look at a great

    story woven rom poor scholarship and

    the hope or a better world.
