Actually, the Fifth Sun was an AZTEC belief, so far as I know, the Maya did not refer to previous or later worlds. And the current calendrical age will end on December *20*, 2012, not the 24th. On that date, depending on one's interpretations of Mayan beliefs, either the world will end, or there'll be a "renewal". I've heard both interpretations given. -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'.
