=== Mayan Investigation ===

Because of the date the rifts began coinciding with the date of the Mayan prophecy enormous amounts of funding and researched have been poured into determining whether this is simply a coincidence or if there is some deeper meaning in the connection. It was determined after a few months of investigation and heavy excavation of mayan sites across South and Central America that there, in fact, was a connection. Strange artifacts were uncovered under mayan cities, likely to be some kind of highly advanced ancient technology. Most of it is not understood, but many a scientist has devoted their efforts trying to figure out exactly what their function is. Certain things have been found out about how they interact with humans. When put near a HMD most will power up and begin to function, and while most have completely mundane purposes, including printing out information or acting as data storage (most data being encrypted or corrupted), some have been discovered to be power weapons. Many have theories on the implications of this, that Mayans were HMD or that they fled into the rifts, but no one knows for sure exactly what is going on... pending further investigation. 

In addition a single data storage unit was recovered containing pictures of what appear to be Perfected walking among normal Mayans in ancient Mayan society. The implications of these are not yet fully understood, and a large portion of the total research funds is funneled into attempting to figure out exactly what the Perfection are and how they relate to humanity.
