More Mayan references to the end "Tortuguero tablet and the Comalcalco brick"

[Bioshock]

The Tortuguero inscription describes something that is supposed to occur in 2012 involving Bolon Yokte, a mysterious Mayan god associated with both war and creation. However, erosion and a crack in the stone make the end of the passage almost illegible, though some read the last eroded glyphs as perhaps saying, "He will descend from the sky."

The Comalcalco brick is also odd in that the molded or inscribed faces of the bricks were probably laid facing inward or covered with stucco, suggesting they were not meant to be seen.

"The discovery of the Tortuguero monument does provide a rebuttal to the oft-repeated opinion of some Mayan scholars that the Maya did not think anything special at all was likely to occur at the end of the calendar. Stray points out that there has been a tendency amongst the academics studying the Maya to downplay the significance of 2012. This, he suggests, is because most scholars do not want to associate themselves with the large amount of unreliable information and catastrophic theories about what may happen."

Interesting for sure. Had not heard of this before
