Yeah, I mean from what I remember... It's not just that the calendar ends, it's also that the Mayans perceive this a the end of an age of humanity or life or somethin. My view is that we are talking *ancient* Mayans. The ancient Grecians believed a man-god was responsible for thunder and lightning, so.... yeah. The fact also like Widows Son said, we transition into the age of Aquarius in the zodiac, while also it being the solstice. There are several coinciding things all of which makes this major doomsday theory fodder.
