Too much of something! There's an awful lot of links to commercial stuff on that page. Methinks it doth have the sound of bells on it. Cash register bells.

The end (and begining) of the Mayan calender has no more relevence than the end (or start) of a new millenium. All calendars ancient and modern are artificial constructs on which to base the year's days, religious/secular festivals and seasons. Mayan culture and agriculture was highly organised and would have needed a calendar on which to base that organisation. It has NO relevence to today, our own calendar or fantastic prophesies of doom imagined by ancient peoples and modern 'interpretations'. The universe is far more exciting and mysterious and should inspire wonder and amazement, not fear.
