History Channel and the Mayans..
    #10515791 -

So am i the only person who notices that the History Channel and discovery Channel alike falsely inform the public about the Mayans?  I'm watching Mega Disasters and i just heard them say about how the Mayans m mysteriously disappeared and how scientist are trying to figure out exactly how they disappeared.  They said it is believed that the civilization experienced civil unrest before they collapsed. 

In my history class in College to 1866, the book i was reading said how Christopher Columbus came to the new world and the Mayans had gold. It said how the Mayans were massacred, genocide in fact by the comers to the new land to the point of extinction. This was because the Mayans were seen as primitive and uncivilized by the white man.

So whats the deal with this misinformation? propaganda or something?  Something to make the people think that something bad will happen in 2012 cause the Mayans say so? i mean, wtf?

No, the Maya had gone before the conquistadors arrived. Those guys did a lot of damage, but the Mayans weren't on teh victim list.

The Maya peoples never disappeared, neither at the time of the Classic period decline nor with the arrival of the Spanish conquistadores and the subsequent Spanish colonization of the Americas. Today, the Maya and their descendants form sizable populations throughout the Maya area and maintain a distinctive set of traditions and beliefs that are the result of the merger of pre-Columbian and post-Conquest ideologies (and structured by the almost total adoption of Roman Catholicism). Many Mayan languages continue to be spoken as primary languages today; the Rabinal Achí, a play written in the Achi' language, was declared a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2005.

I have always been suspicious of the 'history' channel. I mean, I enjoy some of the things they air, but is it really correct information? whos side of history are they telling us anyways? As far as what happened to the mayans go, I have heard a lot of theories, but I wasn't there or anything so I don't know. In the 'Celestine Prophecy' James Redfeild alludes to the idea that the mayans 'accended' to a higher deminsion, one which us in this dimension are unable to see. As far as the mayan culture that does still exist, maybe those people are decendents of mayans who were away at the time of accension, or whatever happened. Maybe they saw some shit goin down so they went into the caves to stay untill 2012 when the supposed 'golden age' is suppose to appear. Maybe aliens came and took them...? ahahahahah, don't take me to serious anyone. Just a few of the many possibilities i suppose.

Christopher Columbus never met any Mayans.  He didn't even reach the Central American mainland.  He only got as far as the Carribean.
