Quite an interesting article.
"The textbooks will tell you that the Mayan people thrived in Central America from about 250 to 900 A.D., building magnificent temples in Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and southern Mexico.
But could they possibly have left stone ruins in the mountains of North Georgia? Richard Thornton thinks so. He says he's an architect and urban planner by training, but has been hired to research the history of native people in and around Georgia since 2003. On Examiner.com, he wrote about an 1,100-year-old archeological site near Georgia's highest mountain, Brasstown Bald, that he said "is possibly the site of the fabled city of Yupaha, which Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto failed to find in 1540."

I was born in Honduras. I have Mayan blood running through me.
Its too bad that people took this whole End of the World 2012 Mayan calendar a bit too far.
Because when nothing happens in December of this year or since nothing happened (if you account for the leap year concept, the end of the world should have been 7 months ago, the Mayans didnt know about "leap years" it hadnt been invented yet)
they will be viewed as a joke. The silly Mayans who predicted the end of the world.
Truth is they were an amazing people. I mean, their architecture was amazing those architects were geniuses.
Too bad that once again religion fucks everything up, the introduction of the Feathered-serpent sepereated the tribes and massacres ensued, motherfucker cutting their own dicks off as a sacrifice to please the gods....WTF!!
I hope the Mayans will be remembered by todays children for the incredibly advanced and way aheado ftheir time ancient people and not remembered for one stupid end of the world prediction which is simply an implication because the 'calendar" ends. That would be a shame.
