Evidence for 2012/Galactic Alignment found at Izapa Mayan Ruins

In an article called In the Roots of the Milky Way Tree: The Mayan Lord of Creation and 2012, John Major Jenkins says that:

The belief that we don’t have “direct statements” about 2012 in the archaeological record ignores the plethora of pictographic images at Izapa that portray a rare celestial alignment that appears in the skies in the years around 2012.7 This galactic alignment is the key to understanding 2012, and it involves the rebirth of the December solstice Sun Lord through the Dark Rift “cleft” in the Milky Way, located between Sagittarius and Scorpio.

Jenkins refers to Mayan ruins in Izapa, Mexico, which is very close to the Guatemala border. He says the Izapa were an intermediate step between the earlier Olmecs and the classic-period Mayans. They, like the Olmecs, used and understood the Long Count Calendar. According to Jenkins, they also understood the alignment between the start/end point of a 5,125 year cycle in the Long Count Calendar and the solar system with the Milky Way’s center.
