Interesting & Quick Facts about 2012

Numerology
In numerology every number has a corresponding
letter associated with it.
The date 12-21-12 reads as, A-B-B-A-A-B. When
you consider that the Hebrew language is read
from right to left, this date would read BA ABBA.
The Hebrew translation for BA ABBA is "Father
comes / is coming"

2012 is claimed to be a great year of spiritual

transformation (or apocalypse). Many esoteric
sources interpret the completion of the twelfth
B'ak'tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya
calendar (which occurs on December 21 by the
most widely held correlation) to mean there will be
a major change in world order.
Several experts have predicted a special
astrological/astronomical alignment between the
Galactic center in the constellation of Sagittarius,
the Winter Solstice point, and the open cluster of
the Pleiades. Factually, the coincidence of the
Winter Solstice point (due to the precession of the
Equinoxes) and the galactic center is basically
true.

Albert Einstein said if the honey bees were

suddenly gone mankind would have about 4 years
left to live. Well, the honey bees are going extinct
now and at the present rate in another year or so
there will be no more honey bees left on earth. One
year from now plus another 4 years gives us the
year 2012

NASA predicts that the Sun will also reverse its

own magnetic poles during 2012 as result of
reaching the end of current 11-year sunspot cycle.
Some believe this will amplify the effects of
retarding magnetic field on earth, as harmful
charged particles blasted away from the sun would
more easily penetrate the earth's atmosphere.

In this final episode of the X-Files, it is revealed

that on December 22 2012, aliens will invade and
take over the world, one day after December 21
2012. It was like Chris Carter was saying to us that
the aliens don't need to invade and conquer us, all
they need to do is move in to a vacant earth

The Vatican holds very closely to the Prophecy of

St. Malachy. This Medieval Monk had detailed
visions of 112 Popes until Doomsday, also known
as The Biblical Apocalypse. The current Pope,
Benedict XVI is the 111th named Pope, only one
Pope Remains

2012 - THE MAYAN FINAL AGE

2012 is sometimes claimed to be a great year of

spiritual transformation or apocalypse. Many
interpret the completion of the thirteenth B'ak'tun
cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar
(which occurs on December 21) to mean there will
be a major change in world order. The Mayan
civilization was and is the most advanced in
relation to time-science knowledge. Their main
calendar is the most accurate on the planet. It has
never erred. They actually have 22 calendars in
total, covering the many timing cycles in the
Universe and Solar System.

In Mayan mythology each Long Count cycle is a

world age in which the gods attempt to create
pious and subservient creatures. The First Age
began with the creation of the Earth, and it had
upon it vegetation and living beings. Unfortunately,
because they lacked speech, the birds and animals
were unable to pay homage to the gods and were
destroyed. In the Second and Third Ages the gods
created humans of mud and then wood, but these
also failed to please and were wiped out. We are
currently in the Fourth and Final Age, the age of the
modern, fully functional human. Is it possible that
these Ages referred to evolutionary change? What
might occur when the current age finishes on
December 21, 2012?

The tzolkin calendar is said to spring from the

Sacred Tree. The Sacred Tree is at the center of
Mayan Creation Myths. Lord (Ahau) Pacal by way of
divine kingship is equated with the sun, and he is
portrayed "entering" the Sacred Tree. The day the
sun conjuncts with the crossing point of ecliptic
and Milky Way would be an important date. In the
pre-dawn skies of this date, the Milky Way would
be seen to arch overhead from the region of Polaris
(Heart of Sky) and would point right at where the
sun rises. This is the only date when the Sun/Lord
could jump from the ecliptic track and travel the
Milky Way up and around the vault of heaven to the
region of Polaris, there to enter the "Heart of Sky."
1300 years ago Polaris was much less an exact
"Pole Star" than it is now. It wasn't a Pole Star that
the Maya mythologized in this regard; it was the
unmarked polar "dark region" symbolizing death
and the underworld around which everything was
observed to revolve. Life revolves around death - a
characteristically Mayan belief. These dates change
with precession.

The Maya were adept sky watchers. Their Classic

Period is thought to have lasted from 200 A.D. to
900 A.D., but recent archaeological findings are
pushing back the dawn of Mayan civilization. Large
ruin sites indicating high culture with distinctly
Mayan antecedents are being found in the jungles
of Guatemala. Before this, the Olmec civilization
flourished and developed the sacred count of 260
days known as the tzolkin. The early Maya adopted
two different time keeping systems, the Short
Count and the Long Count. The Short Count derives
from combining the tzolkin cycle with the solar
year and the Venus cycle of 584 days. In this way,
short periods of 13, 52 and 104 years are
generated. The Long Count system is somewhat
more abstract, yet is also related to certain
astronomical cycles. It is based upon nested cycles
of days multiplied at each level by that key Mayan
number, twenty:

Number of Days / Term

1 / Kin (day)
20 / Uinal
360 / Tun
7200 / Katun
144000 / Baktun

Notice that the only exception to multiplying by

twenty is at the tun level, where the uinal period is
instead multiplied by 18 to make the 360-day tun.
The Maya employed this counting system to track
an unbroken sequence of days from the time it was
inaugurated. We find Long Count dates in the
archaeological record beginning with the baktun
place value and separated by dots. For example:
6.19.19.0.0 equals 6 baktuns, 19 katuns, 19 tuns, 0
uinals and 0 days. Each baktun has 144000 days,
each katun has 7200 days, and so on. If we add up
all the values we find that 6.19.19.0.0 indicates a
total of 1007640 days have elapsed since the Zero
Date of 0.0.0.0.0. The much discussed 13-baktun
cycle is completed 1872000 days (13 baktuns)
after 0.0.0.0.0. This period of time is the so called
Mayan Great Cycle of the Long Count and equals
5125.36 years.

The point of interest for these early astronomers

seems to have been the projected end date in 2012
A.D., rather than the beginning date in 3114 B.C.
Having determined the end date in 2012, and
calling it 13.0.0.0.0, they proclaimed themselves to
be living in the 6th baktun of the Great Cycle. The
later Maya certainly attributed much mythological
significance to the beginning date, relating it to the
birth of their deities, but it now seems certain that
the placement of the Long Count hinges upon its
calculated end point. Why did early Mesoamerican
sky watchers pick a date some 2300 years into the
future and, in fact, how did they pinpoint an
accurate winter solstice? For some reason, the
ancient New World astronomers were tracking
precession.

The precession of the equinoxes, also known as the

Platonic Year, is caused by the slow wobbling of
the earth's polar axis. Right now this axis roughly
points to Polaris, the "Pole Star," but this changes
slowly over long periods of time. The earth's
wobble causes the position of the seasonal
quarters to slowly precess against the background
of stars. For example, right now, the winter solstice
position is in the constellation of Sagittarius. But
2000 years ago it was in Capricorn. Since then, it
has processed backward almost one full sign. It is
generally thought that the Greek astronomer
Hipparchus was the first to discover precession
around 128 B.C. Yet scholarship indicates that
more ancient Old World cultures such as the
Egyptians and Babylonians also knew about the
precession.

Even cultures with simple horizon astronomy would

notice the slow shifting of the heavens. They might
erect monoliths to sight the horizon position of the
dawning winter solstice sun. This position in
relation to background stars could be accurately
preserved in wisdom teachings. Precession will
change this position at the rate of 1 degree every
72 years, within the relatively short time of 100
years or so, a noticeable change will have occurred.
The point of this is simple. To early cultures
attuned to the subtle movements of the sky,
precession would not have been hard to notice.

[Color=blue]The Mayan are not the only ones that

assign special significance to the year 2012. The
following do too. Coincidence?

The Bible Code claims that, according to certain
algorithms of the Bible code, a meteor, asteroid or comet
will collide with the Earth.

The Nostradamus Code speaks of a series of natural

disasters caused by a comet (possibly as above) which
will allow the third anti-christ to disperse his troops
around the globe under the guise of aid in preparation for
a possible nuclear war, although in the strictest sense it
is unspecific as to nuclear war or some other natural or
man caused distraction.

The Orion Prophecy claims that the Earth's magnetic field

will reverse.

2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl theorizes a possible

global awakening to psychic connection by the year 2012,
creating a No sphere.
McKenna's mathematical novelty theory suggests a point
of singularity in which a great number of things could
happen, including "hyper spatial breakthrough",
planetesimal impact, alien contact, historical
metamorphosis, metamorphosis of natural law, solar
explosion, quasar ignition at the galactic core, or
nothing.

The Prophecy of the Popes, attributed to Saint Malachi,

speculated that Pope Benedict XVI would reign during the
beginning of the tribulation of which Jesus spoke, and
sometime later a future pope described in the prophecy
as "Peter the Roman", the last in this prophetic list,
would appear, bringing as a result the destruction of the
city of Rome and the Last Judgment.

Many new age spiritualists and philosophers believe

humankind will enter an age of enlightenment in 2012.
There are a range of varying, generally positive, beliefs
shared by a subset of spiritualists from the mundane to
exceptional, including a positive social shift and age of
peace, mankind becoming psychic and connected by a
collective, and/or an evolution of the human race into
non-corporeal beings made of "spiritual" energy, or light
energy. An alternative view is that we are already
thought-forms and will be realizing our true selves in this
year.

Some alien-enthusiasts, along with some new-agers,

believe 2012 to correspond approximately with the return
of alien "watchers" or "caretakers" who might have
helped the first human civilizations with developing their
technology and may have been waiting for us to reach a
higher level of technological and/or social advancement.
Beliefs range from the extra-terrestrials having
benevolent purposes -- such as to help human society
evolve -- to malevolent purposes -- such as enslavement
of mankind and/or manipulation.

The Nepalese ascetic Ram Bahadur Bomjon the so called

buddha boy reportedly told his followers that he will
return around 2012.
