the hopi Indians of north America have long known of the coming end of this age of man. infact according the the tribel elders, this is the ending of the fourth age of man. with the fith soon to come. I don't yet fully understand all the implied meanings of the complete prophecy, but can provide a link to the complete written text if you would like to read it. just go to the site listed below, it is free to copy and down load as the trible elders want the words to be taken to all men as a warning of things to come.
http://www.welcomehome.org/rainbow/prophecy/hopi1.htmlthe text is very close to alot of already known accounts of the earths begining and future demise. there are several signs that precceed the end of this age listed and explained by the trible elders some of which are very hard to dismiss as old Indians smokin cactus flowers anyway I thought you all might like to see it...
some good late night reading there enjoy
