Since I have property in Belize on the beautiful Caribbean, my attention turns towards the end of the world prediction shown in the Mayan Long Count calendar. Mayan calendar a 5,125 year period of time ends on Gregorian calendar date December 21, 2012, which is the winter solstice. I personally don't have time for this Apocalypse or doomsday prediction. This strange mystery is said to be visited by 1000s of curiosity seekers around the world and stands to bring an economic boom. Belize is the heartland of Mayan history. These predictions have me actually wondering if my property will go up in value or lost in the ocean on that date, if I actually believed in this prediction, which I don't. When I had traveled to Belize for the first time a few years back, I discovered that across the road from my property was a Mayan pyramid comprised of stone and sand which looked mostly to me like a big ant hill attracting the diggings and explorations of treasure hunters. My first encounter with a treasure hunter was to be a bohemian type individual, blond and blue-eyed, highly intelligent individual who looked like Tarzan boy. He was out to find treasure and not leaving until he did. He is probably still there as I write this.
I find Belize's mysteries to be quite fascinating, especially the stories of the crystal quartz skulls which are suppose to have been lost in Central America. I think most of us have heard the stories of the skulls being strategically placed throughout the oceans and jungles. They are said to contain wisdom for the survival of mankind and that the intelligence from the skull could be channeled. Next it brings me to Belize's National flower which is the Black Orchid flower exotic and rare. This takes me back quite a bit to the old Brenda Star comic strips remembering her bright red hair and eyes that were drawn as stars. I was always in awe of that love story and that wherever her mystery man was the black orchid would appear. Seems now I know where it is; therefore, I have found some sort of resolve with this issue. Another thing I love about Belize is that music is their language when there are no words, and the flower is their language when there is emotion. I found this written on wooden board at a hotel. I am looking forward to many, many years of being in this beautiful place with its sugar cane plants and orchids growing wild. I loved the care free ways of the people and their culture. So my point is that I find the myths fun and interesting but take it for a grain of salt. People stay calm and cool, and this will all come to pass.

I inadvertently in typing called the structure across from my property a Mayan pyramid. Correct to read Mayan ruin.
