Title: Cracking the Maya Code

Added: Mar 17, 2009

Author: PBS

Duration: 52:49

Description:
See the full episode at http://video.pbs.org/video/980048895The ancient Maya civilization of Central America left behind a riddle: an intricate and mysterious hieroglyphic script carved on stone monuments and painted on pottery and bark books. Because the invading Spanish suppressed nearly all knowledge of how the script worked, unlocking its meaning posed one of archaeology's fiercest challenges. Until now.http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/

Nov 3, 2009 - 1) They didn't predict anything!2) certainly not the end of the world3) It is debatable whether or not the calendar does finish in 20124) Even if they did, why believe them? The were still sacrificing people to gods!!!

Nov 4, 2009 - If you notice, ads will play before normal youtube videos if you watch several in a row, so it's not that PBS is necessarilly benefiting from the ads (who cares if they are anyways, the ads profits would simply go to fund more programming that is broadcast for free on the air anyways), but mostly covering youtube's bandwidth costs (probably with profit, too, but you're not paying youtube, so again, who cares, the service is free, like PBS).

Nov 13, 2009 - Bear in mind the entity (Mother Serpent) conjured by the Mayans is the enemy of Christianity, simply because behind Christianity and Muslim religious lies a devious "alien" entity, preparing your planet and its living things toward total darkness..though, the killing is always done in the name of love...but soon will rise the "serpent" and take its people and kingdom back into safety, liberating mankind from these devious religious groups.Long live the Serpent

Nov 18, 2009 - 4 is illogical. Whether they were sacrificing or not has no relevance to the accuracy of the calendar and it's ramifications.However, the evidence does point to it not being an end of the world, but rather an event that will drastically change this planet and humanity as we know it. There are already major evolutionary changes in the last few generations documented and proven by science. What's causing it? You'll see. :)

Nov 28, 2009 - In the written code of pre, earth-covering Inundation, people used language and universal knowledge to communicate. Post Inundation, with the massive upheaval and ocean surface raised 3 miles above its pre-Inundation level, discovered in deep-sea explorations, that relatively singular civilization became replaced with diverse groups who held no such common point of understanding. Whether claiming it as pro or anti-religion, the Atheist and the Deity-minded hold in common worship of 'gods.'

Dec 13, 2009 - Your story about the snake being a holy figure in both religions because of an overlap in religions, is just as backward as claiming a brain looks like a computer.People have concepts, these ideas are always based on the world around us. These things overlap because the storytellers of both religions saw the same amazing animals in their surroundings and made up a story about them.Sometimes these things so simple can be so difficult for people to understand. Religion will alwyays survive:(

Jan 25, 2010 - Think of it this way, do you really think they were the only ones in human history to draw pictures with meanings.

siogbeagbideach Says:

Feb 5, 2010 - blood sacrifices r happening every day. look at Iraq, Afghanastan and the innocent blood shed there in the name of fighting terrorism. Research US Presidents and the skull and bones at Yale Uni; Bohemian Grove, where they meet annually with othr world leaders in secret to perform their sick rituals. Also chk out priests and paedophilia and the crimes they commit on innocents to satisfy their sick thirst. And at mass what bout drinkin the blood of Christ? and eating his body?

justtwentyoeight Says:

Feb 13, 2010 - uhm... let's see... we drink his blood, eat his flesh then hang him on a cross... Nope! No blood ritual there!!!Move along!
