The Aztecs were drug-addicted snake worshippers who sacrificed human beings on bloody altars. They even held sporting events where the losing teams were slaughtered. Basically, they were a backwards and blodthirsty culture.

They did achieve some impressive feats of architecture and accurately predicted the solstices -- but their ancient knowledge is no more insightful than modern science.

Every generation seems to think that the end of the world is going to occur during their lifetimes. People were freaking out in 1899, just like they did in 1999. But global climate changes and other civilation-destroying events don't operate on our timelines. And the sun and stars do not revolve around the Earth either.

If the apocalypse is on its way and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it -- then why worrry about it? What will be, will be.
