How the 'Mayan Apocalypse' came from a New Age magic mushroom trip:
"The 'prophecy' does not stem from the Mayans at all - or date from thousands of
years ago. Instead, the beliefs come from two New Age books in the Seventies
and Eighties. The two books predict outcomes as surreal as a 'upgrade' to human
consciousness predicted by a spirit from the seventh century. The date itself
comes from a prophecy based on a magic mushroom trip."
