The baktún or “long count” Maya calendar ends on Friday after 5,125 years. What happens next? Faith, curiosity or fear is expected to attract as many as 200,000 visitors to the many ancient Maya sites in Yucatan and its neighboring states, as well as to Central America. In Mérida a week-long Maya culture festival has been organized. Public security forces also are being strengthened amid concerns about panic or general disturbances.
