No.

The codexes are neither new nor frauds. The group presenting what is in them is a fraud. The contents that they alledge is unsupported claptrap. They acknowledge that they do not have the texts.

And we understand the calendrical system quite well. It's not "simple" but it doesn't require an advanced degree in calculus to understand. There is no ominous event predicted for a certain month, week, or day in 2012; the calendar just advances one in its count.

Just like they went crazy in the 70s because it was the "Age of Aquarius." Or how they went crazy in 2000 because it was the new millennium. Or how they are going crazy now because 2012 is approaching... I think you'll find, flanagan1000, that there is never a time when the crazies aren't going crazy over some impending event that will "change the world." You are new to this stuff, so it seems thrilling and exciting. But if you know anything about history, this stuff is old hat. It's always been going on and it always will go on and nothing will ever come of it.

Ok, if this translation is anything to go by, it gives us a little bit more information on what actually backs up his claims:

Agencies
MEXICO CITY-The film in preproduction, Maya Revelations 2012 and beyond: A planetary event discover the communication that had this extraterrestrial civilization for over 3000 years and announcing their prophecies and the end of an era on 21 in December 2012.

The documentary's producer Raul Julia Levy revealed to hey! Millennium one of the theories that check in his documentary, which will begin filming in early December in the state of Campeche.

This is a photograph taken in the late 30's where we see a head of 17 meters by 2 meters in diameter was found south of the country, according to scientists who do not have the characteristics of the Mayan culture.

"The picture I sent her an archaeologist who is collaborating with us on the project, and asked him to send me something to give to know the people, because you are entitled to have this information," said Julia Levy, Jr. the legendary actor Raul Julia, who gave birth to 'Homer' in the film The Addams Family.

According to a letter that certifies the authenticity of the photograph, owned by hey! and signed by the Guatemalan archaeologist Héctor E. Mejia, ensures that the photo is owned by Oscar Rafael Padilla archaeologist Lara, the letter reads: "The picture shows a picture of a bust at a glance you can see the brain is long and fine features are not consistent with the American and Hispanic race which was created by an extraordinary civilization with knowledge of those who are not covered on the planet, according to the producer. "

Julia says: "This picture has a very rare, was taken by Dr. Oscar Padilla Lara in the late 30 and an archaeologist who works with us is a person close to him, is the only photo we have, because the head was taken away. Scientists around the world were to investigate, not found and according to unofficial sources, I can not mention, it was brought to the United States as it is in New Mexico, "said the producer.

At first the film would be directed by Juan Carlos Rulfo (The hole), but canceled their participation, so some names being considered to direct. The important thing, and the credibility of the project, integrates the renowned British scientist Stephen Hawking.

"Hawking is one of the scientists who speak of the relationship Maya and alien. In a letter sent us says, 'I warned humanity that extraterrestrial life exists and are out there that have been friends of the Maya does not mean they are friends of humanity and thus to evade humanity should not come into contact with them, 'he said when I mentioned the project, "said Julia Levy.

Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyond: A Planetary Event advances in research and are gaining a lot of information from classified files that the governments of Mexico, Guatemala and Belize provide, as well as the so-called National Council of Elders Mayas of Guatemala, which is announcing the end one was the next December 21, 2012 and the beginning of another.[b]

The intention is for the world to reflect the harm he is doing to the planet and know this culture is announcing the end of an era.

[b]"We want to educate and open the eyes of humanity because we are entering a new era for many reasons in an irresponsible way the media has told people that it is an age of light, that is totally false, we are entering an era which, if not open our eyes to time, it will be disastrous for humanity, this planet was not designed or intended for 7 billion people, this planet was only for 2 000 500 million people, according to the Mayan codices "
concluded Julia Levy.

Beyond ...

* Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyond: A Planetary is a documentary he plans to report on the 2012 Mayan prophecies and codices were written, is seen by aliens.

* The producer Raul Julia Levy revealed to hey! a photograph of the late 30's to the south where there is an elongated brain figure and fine features not consistent with pre-Hispanic races of America, according to an archaeologist Héctor E. Verifies Mejia.

* The end of an era according to the Maya is the December 21, 2012, ending a cycle of 5000 years.

* The filmmaker Juan Carlos Rulfo canceled his participation, but it integrates the scientist Stephen Haking, as well as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, President of Slovenia, Danilo Türk, among other heads of state and prime ministers, according to the producer.

* The documentary will be recorded in the archaeological site of Calakmul in Campeche state.

If the film is right, I'll eat a bug.

And? Would you deny them their victory lap?

Shit, I'd be pretty excited too if real evidence were to come to light that ETs have been visiting Earth. Wouldn't that be awesome?

Unfortunately, reality is more important than dreams.

No, it doesn't. It's pretty much the same as the English language press releases. It's full of assertions, not evidence.

Probably something to do with that "real evidence" thing Dave mentioned. I'm with him on that - and reality isn't just more important than make-believe, as often as not, it's a hell of a lot more interesting.

If there were independently verifiable evidence that those claims were true, I'd be pretty psyched about them, too.

But it's all just different manifestations of revelatory fantasies. These people are all swapping more mainstream religions for something slightly less run-of-the-mill, but still full of dogma and credulity.
