another mayan idea that recently had a large impact on modern life is the mayan calender. The end of the mayan calender on december 21, 2012 was recently thought to signal the end of the world as we know it, the apocalyse. of course, now we know this to be false, as it is now May of 2013, but the impact was there none the less.
