By now some of you may have heard of the famous Mayan prediction. The Mayans were mathematical geniuses and were ancient time keepers. They had many calendars and could predict astrological changes many years in advance. One of their calendars is actually more accurate than the Gregorian calendar we use today. It is their long count calendar that is the most intriguing. The Mayan long calendar ends on Dec 21st 2012. The Mayans fortold that on that day which is a winter solstice, the Earth would enter into a new age. The transition into the 5th sun/dimension, a cosmic crossing will occur. Some people claimed that the Mayans predicted our own end. Others say the Mayans believed people would enter into a new conciousness. Perhaps that day is just another day but there is no denying it will still be a significant day. Lets examine that day and year a little. 1. On Dec 21st 2012 the Earths sun forms a meridian with the galactic equator. What does that mean exactly? Well our sun and consequently the Earth are at the equator of the Milky Way. This will be the first time in about 26,000 years. We are living in a special time. You get to experience something that many generations after you will never experience. Note the Milky Way is very far away but than i dont really know what this mean. 2. Solar Max will peak in 2012. Nasa predicts that solar storms will peak in 2012 and be at their strongest in 50 years. Solar storms refers to when the sun releases large amounts of energy. The things affected will include cell phones, gps, and other electronic equipment. Low orbiting satelites are expected to be affected as well as flying passengers. The last time solar storms were this intense, northern lights were spotted over Mexico. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/03/0306_060307_sunspots.html Nasa predictated that it will only be 30 to 50 percent more than 2001. Yes, it will affected us but it 30 to 50 percent more than 2001 which nothing big really happen. I dont know maybe yes or maybe no. 3. Pole reversals are imminent. Did you know the magnetic poles of the sun reverse. It happens at the peak of every 11 year sunspot cycle. The last one was in 2001 and the next one is in 2012. Scientists also know that the Earth's poles reverse as well. Earth's poles reverse an average of 4 times every 1 million years. The last one occured about 740,000 years ago so we are overdue. A prelude to Earth's poles reversing is that our planet's magnetic field decreases significantly and we are at our lowest levels in years. No one knows how long it takes for the poles to flip but if it is quick, earthquakes and other natural disasters are a certainty. And your compass needle will be pointing in the opposite direction. When the sun's poles reverse in 2012 there is a tendancy to pull the Earth along with it. The time for the Earth's poles reverse to occur is unknown to all so i will said there is a chance that the sun's poles reverse will pull Earth along with it but not likely. Since the sun pole reverse occur every 11 years while the consecutive reversals of the Earth are spaced 5 thousand years to 50 million years apart and so many sun pole reverse cycles did not put Earth along with it why now???

In 2012 astronomers say that our sun enters this dark part of our galaxy. Astronomers refer to this as the Cygnus Rift, a portion of intersteller dust. The Mayans defined the end of each age as the world sitting on the Dark Rift. But they also considered this intersection to be the Sacred Tree or Cross, and on Dec 21st 2012 we will witness an ascension. No one really knows what will happen when we pass through the Dark Rift though. I am not sure if the sun will be in the dark rift cause the sun is 93,000,000 miles away from Earth while the milky way is many thousand of light year away from us (1 light year = 5,000,865,696,000,000 miles). Saying so it will be in alignment but will it enter the dark rift of milky way. I said not likely.

The mayan prediction is calculated based on the moving of the stars and planent but whether they know the distance between each of them is unknown since they only see it from earth. The prediction of "In the fifth cycle, Mayan wisdom will return to Earth" whether this mean that the prediction is fulfill and everyone will believe in Mayan wisdom or the effect of this event will enable us to discover something the Mayan left behind, even this is unknown. |
