People take part in a ceremony at the Mayan archeological site of Iximche to mark the end of the 13th Oxlajuj B'aktun in Tecpan, Guatemala, early today. The end of the 13th Oxlajuj B'aktun marks a new period in the Mayan calendar, an event only comparable in recent times with the new millennium in 2000. While theMayan calendar cycle has prompted a wave of doomsday speculation across the globe, few in the Mayan heartland believe the world will end on Friday. (AP Photo/Moises Castillo)
