2012 – History Channel, John Major Jenkins

John Major Jenkins is the author of Maya Cosmogenesis 2012 in which, among many other things, he describes Izapa, the Ceremonial City of the Ancient Skywatchers, an ancient Mayan ruin in the mountains of the Mexican state of Chiapas.  At this ruin, there is a stele with the Mayan glyph showing the December 21, 2012 date .

He was consulted and interviewed for the History Channel’s August 2006 documentary on 2012. However, he is unhappy with the way he was quoted out of context to support the program’s over-sensationalized doomsday treatment of that important date in the Maya Long Count Calendar.

He believes the documentary did not adequately portray the predictions that 2012 may not be a time of cataclysm but a time of rebirth and renewal.

Here’s the link to his condemnation of their unbiased reporting:

2012 – DNA Changes to More Crystalline

Is this real or just an “Urban Legend?” Are all DNA on earth really changing?

An urban legend is something a bunch of people believe but it isn’t grounded in fact. For example, a gardening urban legend: that putting Juicy Fruit gum sticks in vole holes will deter the root-destroying pests. It doesn’t.

Here’s a link to more information on DNA Changes:

2012 DNA 12-Strand Change

At lunch today, I was talking with friends about the 2012 phenomenon. One friend said that she has read that our bodies are undergoing evolutionary changes in which the DNA in our cells are going from two-strand to 12-strand.

Here’s a link to an interview Dr. Berrenda Fox on the evolution of the human body.

End of the World 2012

According to this Wikipedia listing on 2012, some Mayan researchers believe the beginning of the Maya Long Count calendar is December 23, 2012, not December 21, 2012.

The winter solstice will occur on December 21 of that year.

Prediction 2012

I’m reading so many different predictions about 2012. Most of them sound pretty New Age soft and fuzzy. For example, what does it matter that supposedly the earth will line up with the Galactic Center on the Winter Solstice of 2012? Right now, the earth lines up with the center of the Milky Way three days before December 21. Do three days really matter that much?

The Mysterious Maya

The ancient Mayan civilization seems to have sprung up out of nowhere, similar to the ancient Egyptian civilization.  They had a calendar more accurate than the Europeans. They used the “zero” in their mathematical calculations. They built amazing pyramids. Then they abandoned their huge stone cities. The cities fell to ruin. Today, the modern Maya learn about the 2012 prediction from the work of archeologists. Where did their ancient knowledge come from? Where did it go?

Galactic Center is in 26 degrees Sagittarius

I just learned that the Galactic Center is in  26 degrees, 45 minutes of the constellation Sagittarius.

What does this mean?

1. Almost all the planets of the solar system, including the sun and moon, travel in a very narrow part of the sky called the ecliptic.

2. The ecliptic forms a circle of 360 degrees–half of it is not visible because that half is on the other side of the earth. As the earth turns, you can see the whole ecliptic.

3. The ecliptic is divided into 12 sections of 30 degrees each.

4. These 30-degree sections are represented by different constellations which are star clusters that happen to be in the very narrow band of the sky called the ecliptic.

5. These constellations are the signs of the zodiac.

6. That 30-degree section of the sky where the Sagittarius constellation is located is also the area of the sky where the center of the Milky Way galaxy is.

7. In Sagittarius, 26 degrees and 45 minutes into the section, is specifically where the galactic center is located.

2012 Prediction – Sagittarius Constellation

A great photo of Sagittarius and the Milky Way.

In this photo, you only have to hold your cursor over the image, and the dots will join themselves to form the teapot image. In this image, the teapot spout is facing the right.

In my previous post, “Prediction 2012 – Sagittarius Looks Like a Teaput,” the teapot spout is facing the left.

Prediction 2012 – Sagittarius Looks Like a Teapot

I’ve been looking for a picture of the constellation Sagittarius since it is located in the sky at the place where the Milky Way Center is. Once you know what Sagittarius looks like, you can find it in the sky. When you’re looking at Sagittarius, you’re looking at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way.

Sagittarius is one of the cutest constellations because it can be identified by a grouping of stars that look like a teapot.

In this nighttime photograph of the the Hale 200-inch Telescope at Palomar Observatory, northeast of San Diego, California, you can see “the teapot” above and to the right of the domed telescope.

Just “join the dots” of the stars and you’ll see that they make a teapot. It is tilted upward and to the left. The “spout” is facing the left. The “handle” is on the right. The “teapot lid” looks like a triangle.

Prediction 2012 – A Great Site on BLACK HOLES

Here’s a great site on Black Holes.

Since we’ve been talking so much about the Black Hole at the Galactic Center, I thought you’d like to read up a bit on Black Holes.

This is a Hubble Space Telescope site. It has an animated Journey to a Black Hole and a Black Hole Encyclopedia.
