Below is an 90 word synopsis of an online news story with a link to the online source at the end of the quote:
Walls of a room forming part of large complex of Mayan ruins in rain forest Xultun, northeastern Guatemala reveal oldest known Mayan astronomical tables that allowed scribes to predict appearance of full moons years in advance. ... previously oldest known examples dated from 600 years later. "Why would they go into those numbers if the world is going to come to an end this year?" observed Anthony Aveni Mayan astronomy expert, Colgate University, Hamilton, New York. "You could say a number that big at least suggests that time marches on."
