An indigenous ethnic Chorti of Mayan descent performs during a traditional ceremony at the ruins of the archaeological site for the Maya civilization of Copan December 22, 2012. Mystics, hippies and tourists descended on the ruins of Maya cities to mark the close of the 13th bak'tun - a period of around 400 years - and many hoped it would lead to a better era for humanity.
