Experts discuss end of the world and Flying Pigs

Archaeologists from around the world have gathered in the city of Antigua in Guatemala to discuss the end of the ancient Mayan calendar.
The 5,126 year Mayan cycle is due to end on December 21, but Reuters reports experts are dismissing theories that it could mean the end of the world.
The two day conference presented a range of findings.
'We reject 100 percent that this is the end of the world - it's the end of a cycle and beginning of the 14th Baktun (Mayan cycle). We are nervous as Guatemalans because we will see December 21, the end of an era for many Mayans,' Archaeologist Rosendo Morales told Reuters.
The end of the Mayan calendar has stirred much speculation about the end of the world, but experts say 2012 simply represents a new cycle.
The Maya were one of the great civilisations of Mesoamerica, creating elaborate cities and monuments.

Here is a thought....the mayans came up with thier calander, many many years later the concept of a leap year was introduced.......without the leap year it would be mid to late 2013 now would it not?????
Have you ever wondered if the mayans just ran out of stone tablets to chisle away on??
