In fact, everyone from NASA scientists to Maya scholars say that these beliefs are off-base.

These rumors have made the rounds online: On one site, abovetopsecret.com, posters write of mysterious glowing lights and UFOs seen in the sky around the mountain and draw parallels between the peak's shape and that of the Great Pyramids of Egypt. The theory is that the mountain holds an alien-built pyramid inside. According to the Telegraph, science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke called the mountain a place of special energy.........

Take a look around at all the prisons being built, all the new laws to control us, the gm crops being invented....hmmm, maybe it IS time for the end.
