I honeymooned in Belize and viseted the Mayan ruins in the southern part of the country. ..unbelievable they would do that. Belize is a pretty poor country though, and tourism is a big part of their economy. .doesn't make since to do this.

Ehh. Pyramids are overated. They should tear down those in Egypt also. What good does a giant triangle serve anyway ?

Have you ever read how many mummies from Egypt were ground up to make patent medicines and stuff in the 19th century? It's amazing.

Maybe the Mayan calendar was only predicting the end of this pyramid and not the end of the world?

That is horrendous.
What would you say of this was the only option they had? For example, not blowing the pyramid means extra commute of 2 hours for villagers which could be cut to 15 minutes with a new road. Posted via Mobile Device |

Don't care. Those commuters will live, retire, and die, and the pyramid will still stand (or rather, would have still stood). It's their culture, and their history, and their entire identity, and those buffoons didn't care one bit about that.
I'd like to say that the Belizean government will come down on them like a hammer, imprison their foremen, fire all of the workers, throw their backhoes into the Gulf of Mexico, annihilate their business, and run their aspiring politician CEO creep out of the country in disgrace. I have a feeling, though, that won't happen. Oh, and this story left out the part about the construction company goon that ran reporters off with a machete. That's a nice touch. |

Probably public shaming of prophecies that didn't come to pass, ah well.
