There has been much talk of late about the supposed doomsday prediction
of December 21, 2012 as reflected in the Mayan long calendar. Most of
the ancient Mayan codices were burned by Spanish monks in 1521 as works
of the devil. A few survived including the so called Dresden Codex.
This 74 page codex written on tree bark and apparently from the famous
Mayan temple and observatory at Chichen Itza was sent by Cortes to
Emperor Charles V in 1519. Somehow it found its way to the Royal
Library at the Court of Saxony in Dresden where it was purchased from a
private collector by Johann Christian Goetze. While it was damaged by
the fire bombing of Dresden during WWII, much has survived.
