Everyone has been writing about the end of the Mayan Calendar around Dec 2012 and it is true that the equinox will be passing through the centre of the galaxy etc which has in the past coincided with major cataclysmic events. However, there are much more dangerous configurations in the sky way before that which I have given under Dangerous Times on the menu on the left.
Basically we have to prepare for three major events in 2011:
1- Space related mishaps for Feb 2011, asteroid hitting or coming very close to earth? Many air crashes and danger to cell phone and satellites.
2- Water and ocean related disasters for March 2011 (tsunamis and ship sinkings) Danger for tectonic plate slipping from Vancouver to LA.
3- Earthquakes and major volcanos in the Pacific Ocean for April 2011
Now coming back to the Mayan calendar, I will write in detail very soon because I am focusing more on the events in 2011 for now to find out where would those events happen.
Here are my thoughts on the Mayan civilization in general first. I do not believe it was the Mayan people at all who were very sophisticated to do all the astronomical calculations. From what I have read about them, the Mayan people were basically jungle people living off the berries found in bushes and other natural vegetation. They were not advanced by any means and the knowledge of a modern farmer would be a hundred times more than the best of the Mayan people. Yet the modern farmer is completely oblivious of astronomy and has no need to have Venus calculations so precise that the error for Venus would be like a day in 6000 years!
The Mayan calendar was quite sophisticated which does not match the habits or knowledge of their civilization at all. The distances in million of miles were totally useless to the jungle people. Yet their pyramids have similarities to the ones in Egypt similar one for the Moon and even the height of it with same proportion etc.
Now the calendar is definitely full of astronomical wonders and very much focused on major events dated to the four times when the equinox makes passes through the galactic center or makes an important angle with it every 25,000/4 years.
For those of you who are interested in this, very soon I will update this site so please bookmark it and see it in reference to the article on Dangerous times http://astrotrends.net/world/neptune-aquarius-2011.html
I will also put some diagrams so it makes it easy fro you to understand the ecliptic path of the Sun with reference to the galactic circle.
---------------------
The ecliptic is the apparent path of the Sun as seen from the Earth and is the highway of all the planets and the Moon. The Sun passes through all the twelve constellations of the zodiac, located near this ecliptic, during the course of one year. The ecliptic crosses the Milky Way at a 60 degree angle near the constellation of Sagittarius where the center of the galaxy is located. In fact, it looks like a cosmic cross with the two crosses being the Ecliptic (the Sun's path) and the Milky Way.
This cosmic cross was known as the "Sacred Tree" or the "crossroads" to the ancient Mayans (although I believe it is some other race maybe even an alien one and not the Mayan people themselves). Around the December solstice 2012, the Sun will be exactly where the center of the cosmic cross is i.e. where the ecliptic crosses the Milky Way!
This alignment occurs once every 25,800 years!
