Dear Nolene, My own opinion is that the Maya said nothing about the upcoming date. As you can tell from this thread, there are different opinions among Mayanists about what the specific glyphs at the end of the Tortuguero monument actually say, and while we differ on our views, I don’t think any of us still claim the descent of a god or group of gods is part of the story.

I really would like to know what the Mayans said. Is it that a god (ye-ma) with nine attendants would descend from the heavens within on December 21st 2012? Please let me know.

Dear David, I have a question for you.

I’m in the midst of your wonderful book (The Order of Days) and enjoying it. Thank you!

In your book you mention how the Mesoamerican geographical influence extends north, possibly into Arizona, etc.

Are you aware of the site at the Seminole Canyon State Park (and Historic Site), Texas and the so-called “Panther Cave” there? If so, do you have any observations about this site (who were the people behind it? where did they stem from? etc.).

Below, I describe just one image from that site. If you have the time, perhaps you could comment on it:

One of the more ‘famous’ images from the Panther Cave is that of a stick-figure-like person (as on a cross); the person is dressed in black and wears a square, red head-covering; the person’s arms are horizontally extended, each arm ending with four red, horizontal fingers; resting atop the right arm is a rising (setting?) red sun, with seven rays emanating from the sun (below the extended right arm) – David, for your examination, I could attach the image of this figure to an email if that would help – my email address is headguru@syix.com. Please let me know.

Best wishes to you,

James Kowalick

The human mind’s ‘wanting to be right’ (for whatever reason: i.e., not wanting to admit that a previous thought might be wrong; concern about one’s ‘reputation’; the desire for quick and lasting fame; in general, ego) is a signature of ‘new-age thinking’.

From some commentators (not necessarily those commenting in this weblog), this sort of thinking may be intentionally misleading; for others it can be a psychological subtlety about which the commenter himself or herself may be unaware.

Thinkers possessing such (new-age) thinking do not necessarily belong to the new-age community; they also stem from branches of the Tree of Science.

The history of science reveals no shortage of new-age-type thinkers among its scientist members – a few of them well known.

My hat is off to Dr. David Stuart for his quest for the truth, as demonstrated here by his willingness to thoughtfully listen to the arguments of others, and by the caution with which he delivers his own arguments.

Thoughtful, scientific thinking supports the future; glitzy new-age thinking is far more contemporary, tending to support personal fame and fortune. Science promotes thoughtful argumentation.
