One could only credibly believe the Mayan calendar end date of 2012 AD if one also believes its beginning date of 3114 BC. Dinosaur fossils are what give me plausible optimism for a continuance of life past the next year and a half.
Emphasis mine.
Just a kind suggestion: We have a number of Mexican and Latin American members here at CFC. In fact, there are members from all over the world. Insulting people (even accidentally) with ethnic based remarks is never a good idea.
We generally try to avoid nationalistic political comments (that aren't about game civs) for that reason. Patriotism is a good thing, but not at the expense of slagging users who don't belong to your country, whatever the real world political situation might be.
Wonderful.I'm sorry about that, and I will remove that right away.
Actually, the Egyptian hieroglyphics are mostly alphabetic in nature. It's just a more complex system - some represent 1 letter, some 2, and some 3 and, like other alphabetic systems of the general era and region, they leave out most of the vowel sounds. And they can also represent literally the thing they depict, but that is generally done by adding a mark that indicates that that is what it being done (the owl symbol with a determinative mark means "owl, without it it is the letter "m").China and Ancient Egypt can't exchange technical knowledge because their languages are written without alphabets.
