The 2012 Story: The Myths, Fallacies, and Truth Behind the Most

The 2012 Story: The Myths, Fallacies, and Truth Behind the Most Intriguing Date in History By John Major Jenkins Publisher: Tarcher 2009-10-15 | 496 Pages | ISBN: 1585427667 | PDF 8 MB On December 21, 2012, the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, a 5,125- year cycle calendar system pioneered by the Maya, will come to an end. At the same time, the earth, the sun, and the center of the galaxy will come together in an extremely rare cosmic alignment. More and more people believe that the world as we know it will experience a transformation in 2012, but few are aware of the complete history or significance of the date. John Major Jenkins, among the most authoritative voices of the 2012 movement, has written a definitive explanation of one of the most thought-provoking phenomena of our time. Drawing from his own groundbreaking research (including his involvement in the modern reconstruction of Mayan 2012 cosmology) and more than two decades of extensive study of Mayan culture, Jenkins has created the crucial guide to understanding the story of 2012-an essential overview of the history, theory, cultures, and personalities that have brought this extraordinary idea into modern awareness. Jenkins provides illuminating answers to some of the most-asked questions about 2012, including: - How did the early Maya devise the calendar that gives us the cycle ending in 2012, and how does it work? - How did the calendar come to be rediscovered and reconstructed in our era? - What controversies and intrigues surround the topic, and what do scholars and researchers have to say about them? - How can we cut through all the noise about 2012 and gain true wisdom from the Mayan teachings about this moment? http://www.amazon.com/2012-Story-Fallacies-Intriguing-History/dp/B003JTHRKA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1308690557&sr=8-1

The galactic alignment he describes will not and can not happen, but if it did it would mean precisely nothing.
"The center of the Milky Way (between the constellations of the Archer, the Scorpion, and the Snake Bearer) is about 5 degrees away in the sky from the path that the Sun takes (the ecliptic), so the Sun is always at least 5 degrees away from the center of the Milky Way, and the line through space from the Earth via the Sun to the center of the Milky Way always has a bend of at least 5 degrees in it."

Interesting nonetheless, and thanks for it. Joshua13, you're a knowledgeable chap. Where's the quote from?

I'd have to search for it. it's on the web "google and you shall find"
btw I don't mean any criticism of the uploader. All sharing of books has value. Thank you Djofullinn.
I'm just a little annoyed at all the people who hear things and never check on facts, (like FOX news) Many 2012 enthusiasts do fall into that category so this made me think of that.

Gee, it's not like someone got tired of chiseling calendars out of stone or anything........ I'm charging up all my credit cards just in case though, I'd hate for the world to end while I still have available credit, LOL
