Did you know that Mayas believed that times is repeating itself in the course of 50 years, I think. They believed that the same things would happen again and again each 50 years. That's why the arrival of Europeans was such a shock for them because it had never happened before. They didn't believe that time repeats itself but they actually believed that that's the same period. Like after 50th year the 1st came again but it was the same one from 50 years ago. Isn't that great? I found out about this just few days ago. And what about de ja vues?
