But the interesting thing may be if some turbulence happens next year because then Mayans will be right with their predictions of end. It may just come in the form that many would never believe. I really appreciate any efforts into digging ancient artifacts and exploring anything that may help us understand who we are and where are we going to. Looking forward to see this movie.

It has as its origin the Latin amator ‘lover,’ which comes from amare ‘to love.’ Amateurs do what the do for the love of doing it, not for material compensation. All my closest friends through the decades have been amateurs in this sense: an astronomer, a geologist, a numismatist, a philosopher, a theologian, and even a Mayanist.

I particularly appreciated your comments on Palenque having been there recently. Your excellent book, "2012: Science and Prophecy of the Ancient Maya" is full of pictures, explanatory graphs and insights - all appreciated. I've shown it to lots of folks, kindling their interest in the Maya and reassuring some about 2012. Thanks. Great blog!

The right-hand glyph-piece with the 13.0.0.0 date appears to be integretto. Is that an illusion? Sometimes high relief appears sunken. Fascinating information and a beautifully written blog, Mark.
