It's part two of our look back at the hysteria surrounding the Mayan Long Count calendar. This time we take a deep dive into a relatively early History Channel special that looks deep into Maya prophecies and determines that the ancient people were desparately trying to tell us about the future of...the United States? We briefly discuss the 2012 film, Divorce Court, and in the end we sadly dip back into some New Age predictions.
It's highly suggested you listen to Pt. 1 first, at least to make sense of all of the calendar stuff.
Theme song is “Satellites” by Swenny.
