S T Dupont Limited Edition Neo Classique Apocalypse Large Fountain Pen

The Maya people constitute a diverse range of the Native American people of the Southern Mexico and
northern Central America. In Maya culture the end of the World would happen during December 21st
 2012. The end of the 5,125-year cycle of the Mayan World calendar. Many interpretations believe this is the end of the world or of a cosmic cycle.
The Maya calendar is a system of calendars used in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, and in many modern communities in highland Guatemala and in Veracruz, Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico.
The essentials of the Maya calendar are based upon a system which had been in common use throughout the region, dating back to at least the 5th century BCE. It shares many aspects with calendars employed by other earlier Mesoamerican civilizations, such as the Zapotec and Olmec, and contemporary or later ones such as the Mixtec and Aztec calendars. Although the Mesoamerican calendar did not originate with the Maya, their subsequent extensions and refinements of it were the most sophisticated. Along with those of the Aztecs, the Maya calendars are the best-documented and most completely understood.
