 Let's take a look at this Mayan calendar that everyone is talking about. The Mayans developed their "long calendar" which goes back to a point in time about 26,000 years ago. Their astronomers calculated that at this point in time (which they believed to be the creation) the sun, moon and the earth were in alignment with the center of the galaxy, which is where they believed the creation occurred. We now know that they weren't far off. The Milky Way (and most other galaxies) has a massive black hole at the center. Many astronomers now believe that these massive black holes are where galaxies are formed. Anyway, their calendar is divided into "great periods" which are 13 b'ak'tuns long or 5125 years. And this final "great period" is coming to an end on December 21, 2012 on the winter solstice and about 2 weeks short of perihelion day (the day when the earth is the closest to the sun). Could that close proximity to the sun make a difference? Hard to say. The closer proximity to the sun could (in theory) make us an easier target for solar bursts or flares. The year 2012, is the key, in Vanga's words, for humanity to accept the new Messianic figure - "the man who came to sign the eternal peace. " Otherwise, disasters will ensue and a terrible destructive war. According to the prophecies of Vanga, the world will begin to change towards peace in 2000, but real change in this direction will become apparent after 2012. According to the Inca's calendar, December 21, 2012 is the End of the World. Whether this will be destruction of the evil or the beginning of a new history of peace, love and harmony for humanity depends on us. Vanga predicted that by 2050 we will see an incredible technical development and prosperity, which will certainly be the outcome of the peace and the unification of religions, which this Messianic figure will bring. Here is what NASA said: "For any claims of disaster or dramatic changes in 2012, where is the science? Where is the evidence? There is none, and for all the fictional assertions, whether they are made in books, movies, documentaries or over the Internet, we cannot change that simple fact. There is no credible evidence for any of the assertions made in support of unusual events taking place in December 2012," |    |
