The End and the Maya
 |
| Mayan Glyphs |
Well midnight on December 20th happened, it is now December 21st, and the world has not ended.
For the last generation or so people have been aware the Mayans supposedly predicted that the world would come to an end on midnight December 20th 2012. This myth as indicated elsewhere in book after book in is fact completely bogus1. The Maya did not in fact expect the world to end in 2012 and in fact expected it to continue to exist well into the far, far far future.2

they took and that they exterminated the Canaanites from the land with fire and
sword.
