The Mayans are known for being ultra sophisticated and advanced, despite the fact they lived thousands of years ago. Living in Mexico and Central America, we still see traces of this pre-Colombian culture in the area in the form of step pyramids and artifacts. They are also known for inventing the only fully developed written language of the time, and for using astronomy and mathematics. The Mayans have been linked to a doomsday prediction suggesting the world will end in the year 2012. Did they really make such a prophecy? In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com learns more about the Mayans, and the doomsday forecast that's on everybody's minds.
