Color in the calendar

A few months ago I featured the Mayan Calendar. Then the other day I thought it would be nice to add color to this very old carved stone. Who knows maybe it was in color when it was new.

The most interesting part of the object is the fact that it has foretold the end of time to come in 2012. Well so far all is well. But, the Mayans were very serious about their study of the stars and the moon, so we will just wait for December 31, 2012 and ringing in of a new year 2013. Time will tell.  People have proclaimed the end of t;he earth over and over and the earth is still whirling around the sun. It's a vast universe out there and planets have come gone. The universe is a very violent place but because of the size is so vast we never notice the death of a star and planets that orbited. The gods keep throwing rocks at us and maybe one day one rock will get through and BANG.
