Erich von Däniken made a book called "Chariots of the gods" or something like that. He said that the mayans said 21/12/2012 the god Pacal Vota will return. They never said anything about the end of the world. In that book he says that the gods we are worshiping, were aliens who visited Earth a long time ago. Maybe the Mayans saw them too and maybe that god they was talking about was an alien they saw a long time ago. That would mean that they said the aliens would come back 2012... Will thze aliens maybe return? What would happen?
The mayans ended their calendar when the Spanish killed them all.
What? They had already finished making their calendar long before Europeans arrived in the Americas. What you people are forgetting is that the Mayan calendar doesn't end. Ever. It is cyclical. The whole "2012" thing isn't even the end of their calendar, it's the ending of a cycle, after which a new cycle starts.
The first Europeans did not arrive in South America until roughly 200 years after the Mayan civilization had vanished.
Correct. Our last known timeframe for the Mayan civilization was at roughly 1300 CE, or the beginning of the 14th Century. Europeans didn't begin coming to the Americas (with the exception of early Viking parties) until late 15th and early 16 century.
