December 21, 2012

Nothing grabs the attention more than a good end of the world prophecy, but this time this one makes you take notice, which is the 2012 prophecy.

Mayan's 2012 prophecy states that end of times will occur on December 21, 2012. As history points you, this ancient tribe was extremely proficient in looking at stars and celestial alignments. Astronomy was their forte and they built calender based on star movements. Yes, this calender ends at this date.

What's so special with December 21, 2012?

Well, it turns out that there is a very special galactical event occurring - once every 26,000 years. The event is the alignment between Earth, the Sun and the Milky Way Galaxy. On that day, the winter solstice, the sun will line up with the direct middle of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Personally, I love a good prophecy or conspiracy. It peaks the interest and makes you wonder. Much like Y2K was going to be the end all for modern humanity, 2012 will mark a new age in science too. To that extent, the prophecies are correct that one time will end and another will start. That said change will bring doomsday is extremely doubtful.
