On December 21, 2012, the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar will reach the end of a great cycle. At the same time, the earth, the sun and the center of the galaxy will come together in an extremely rare cosmic alignment. More and more people believe that our world will experience a transformation in 2012, but few are aware of the complete history of significance of the date.
John Major Jenkins, one of the most authoritative voices of the 2012 movement, has created the crucial guide to this phenomenon. Drawing from his own groundbreaking research (including his involvement in the modern reconstruction of Maya 2012 cosmology), Jenkins surveys the roots and significance of 2012 in Maya thought, modern astronomy, ancient prophecy, and metaphysical philosophy, and explores why it has become a focal point for millions today.
