The layers of the Mayan temples explain the evolution of consciousness and everything biological on Earth. It starts with the lowest layer (single celled organisms) all the way to the upper layer (human). The Mayans believed we all return to the source after death to help the universal consciousness evolve (basically we are all here to help the universal consciousness learn about itself since we are all part of it). It first started learning about the interaction between single-celled organisms and the water all the way up to the final layer which is human beings developing ethics. This last layer ended on dec. 21, 2012 and contrary to what most people believe this indicates that the Mayans believed we would enter another stage of evolution during that timeperiod. So what is the next step in our evolution? One can only guess... Personally I would like to believe that it will be the human brain that evolves (imagine how cool it would be if we could actually use more than 5% at a time, or maybe increased pineal gland activation... )
Every layer can also be linked to important events in our history and it's because of the accuracy in which this has been done a lot of people question the fact how this was possible and hint to help from extraterrestrials.
The size of the layers also corresponds perfectly with the time-periods in our evolution (becoming smaller because of the fact that evolutions has been speeding up ever since the beginning, e.g. it took much longer for fish to evolve into amphibians than it did for amphibians to evolve into reptiles). The question remains how a bunch of savages had so much knowledge of evolution... nobody really knows.
