There are about 7 million Maya living in Mexico and parts of Central America, and they’re pretty done with all this apocalypse hoopla.
A wonderfully sardonic Reuters report elaborates:
“It’s a date for doing business, but for me it’s just like any other day,” said drinks vendor Julian Nohuicab, 34, an ethnic Maya working in the ruins of the ancient city of Coba in Quintana Roo state, not far from the beach resort of Cancun.
Watching busloads of white-haired pensioners and dreadlocked backpackers pile into their heartland, Maya old and young roll their eyes at the suggestion the world will end.
