The egyptian calendar also marks 2012 as a year of significance not just the mayan

Really?

Well, both civilizations had very good astronomers so maybe the 2012 thing is some kind of astronomical event that could be important for their believings but that it is only a curiosity for us.

But even then it's a curious coincidence.

"The 2012 phenomenon comprises a range of eschatological beliefs according to which cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on 21 December 2012.[1][2][3][4][5] This date is regarded as the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. Various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae have been proposed as pertaining to this date, though none have been accepted by mainstream scholarship.

Similarly, the Sun's December solstice position (in the northern hemisphere, the lowest point on its annual path; in the southern hemisphere, the highest) is currently in the constellation of Sagittarius, one of two constellations in which the zodiac intersects with the Milky Way.[64] Every year, on the December solstice, the Sun and the Milky Way, from the surface of the Earth, appear to come into alignment, and every year, precession causes a slight shift in the Sun's position in the Milky Way. Given that the Milky Way is between 10° and 20° wide, it takes between 700 and 1400 years for the Sun's December solstice position to precess through it.[65] It is currently about halfway through the Milky Way, crossing the galactic equator.[66] In 2012, the Sun's December solstice will fall on 21 December."

1-Eschatological beliefs?

2-Solstice always falls between the 20th and 21th. Al 4 of them. It's somthing even the ones who build Stonehedge knew.

3-The Sun and Earth aligment mean nothing for the Milky way. Our mass is insignificant. Not too many years ago all the planets in our solar system aligned iwht the Sun. Some even though that it would cause a gravity influx that would cause a giant Solar Flare that would vanish all the planets. We're still here.

4-Am I reading that right? Is the one who wrote that saying that either we (Earth), the Sun or the Milky way will crash with Sagitarius? lol
