Editorial Review: Product Description: Why does the Maya calendar end in 2012? In this groundbreaking book, Jenkins shows that the end date of the Maya long count calendar on December 21, 2012, marks the rare alignment of our solar system with the galactic center. This happens every 26,000 years, and the Maya believed this alignment would greatly accelerate human evolution. 200 illustrations. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Must For Those Curious About 2012John Major Jenkin's book is not a piece a fluff to be taken lightly. It is filled with important information regarding Mayan archeology, astronomy and mysticism. Jenkins makes a strong case for the actual Mayan end date being December 21 (the winter solstice) as opposed to other theories that argue for other dates. The solstice was an incredibly significant event to the Maya, and it makes sense that they would end their long-count calendar on such an auspicious day. If you're really wanting to dive ...

Rating: - A very thorough bookThis book is very thorough. To me it was a little too archaeological but it was good. And it has an excellent forword by Terence McKenna. Rating: - The 'Zero Time' Is Upon UsOverall this book is pretty solid I think as far as the research. The main point is that we are very close to the end of what people call "The Platonic Year". This is a 25,800 year period of time during which our solar system travels through the 12 signs of the zodiac. On 12/21/12 a strange astronomical alignment will occur where our solar system will get lined up with the super massive black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The "black sun". I think I read somewhere ... Read More Rating: - Fascinating bookCosmogenesis 2012 is a compelling book about the meaning of the Mayan and Mesoamerican calendric images. It reveals evidence as to why the Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012 along with explanations as to what this could entail for humanity. I recommend it for anyone interested in the end date of 2012.
