According to the art historian Jose Arguelles’ interpretation of the Mayan Calendar the alignment of celestial objects* (on august 16th 1987) was expected to herald the start of a five year period of peace** and heavenly cleansing. This would prepare the way for a visitation by other worldly beings.***
New age enthusiasts joined together at specially selected sites around the world (Lake Titicaca, Ruins in New Mexico) ready for rebirth.
*The planets did not align as expected.
**There wasn’t a period of peace.
***No-one came to visit.
