The Fifth Katun
The above image is the center portion of the large stone stele seen at the top of this page; it shows the time period we currently live in - referred to by the Mayans as the Fifth Katun. The entire calendar encompasses five periods of time for a total of 5,200 years. However this portion of the calendar - the fifth one - ends on December 21, 2012. And coinciding with this time period is our solar system's alignment with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy... sometimes referred to as the 'galactic alignment'... or aligning with the 'dark rift'.
A little background...

This alignment happens once every 25,772 years and is called the Precession of the Equinoxes. Astronomers refer to this as 'axial precession' which is a gravity induced [continuous] change of an astronomical body's rotational axis. In other words, the Earth wobbles slightly (like a spinning top or a gyroscope) and continues to move westward along the ecliptic, relative to fixed stars. The precession of the Earth's axis has a number of observable effects. First, the positions of the south and north celestial poles appear to move in circles against the space-fixed backdrop of stars, completing one circuit in 25,772 years. This slow movement is also sometimes referred to as the 'ages', as the Earth is aligned with each one of the 12 Zodiac Signs over this nearly 26,000 year cycle. For instance, we have just recently entered into the age of Aquarius - having been in the age of Pisces for just over 2,000 years...

So why is all this important?
Well... we tend to forget that the Mayans were 'Master Astronomers'. (So were the Egyptians, the Sumarians and the people of ancient India.) The Mayans could predict the solar and lunar eclipses with great precision and they also had a high level of knowledge about the planet Venus - including when it would transit the sun. Only seven Venus transits have occurred since the invention of the modern telescope (1631, 1639, 1761, 1769, 1874, 1882 and 2004). The next transit of Venus will occur on June 6, 2012... but then it won’t occur again for over a hundred years (the next one will be on December 11, 2117).
So how would the Mayans have had such knowledge UNLESS they had some serious technology?
Taking all of that into consideration, we begin to realize that a great deal of history [including ancient technology] has been lost to the sands of time... and we are only now (within the past couple of centuries) beginning to rediscover it. In the meantime, there is great speculation regarding what changes might be taking place in our local universe during 2012.
But when you think about it, everything in our world is constantly in motion - so it would stand to reason that on occasion, heavenly bodies may interact with the Earth in such a way as to cause major changes to take place on our planet. And we do know that major changes HAVE taken place all over the planet in our historical past. Ask any geologist... they would be happy to confirm that!
But what changes are happening RIGHT NOW here on Earth?
Quite a few actually... Here's a short list:
Global Warming
Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. If you'd like to know more about this, watch this amazing video filmed by National Geographic called Polar Apocalypse. This phenomenon is not going to happen at some distant time in the future, folks... It's happening right NOW. And it's taking place quite rapidly. However... what NO ONE is talking about is the fact that the polar ice caps are also mellting on Mars. This tells me that there is a 'cosmic influence'. For more information regarding Martian global warming, click here and here.Global Flooding
As the waters continue to rise, we are seeing entire communities engulfed by raging rivers - and this is taking place in different countries and on several continents - literally all over the world. But here's the thing... The flooding we've been seeing is primarily from storm systems and fresh water run off... but if the oceans continue to rise, then anything at sea level - including all coastal cities will also be affected in a major way. Click here and here for more information.Larger Storm Systems
Only a couple of decades ago, it would've been unusual to see even one catagory 4 or 5 hurricane... and although we would see a storm of this magnatude every once in a while, it was on rare occasions... But today, it's the norm; some sources even claim that we've seen an 80% increase in catagory 4 and 5 storms. We are also seeing incredibly strong tornados - some of which are over a mile wide where they actually touch down [considered 'ground zero']. So hurricanes, blizzards and tornados world-wide have become larger and more intense... The word 'superstorm' is now part of our vocabulary. For more information on storm intensity, click here and here and here.Extremes in Weather Patterns
We are seeing unusual and extreme weather in so many places. I live in the Northeast United States... and I can remember incredibly cold and snowy winters when I was a kid during the 50's and 60's. But on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day 2012, the temperatures in New York City were in the 50's... just as it has been during most of November and December of 2011 (except for that freak 'snowstorm' we had in October of 2011). Of course, it is winter - and it will eventually get cold here... but the range in seasonal 'average temperatures' is now completely unpredictable! And the same trend is happening in other places as well... Click here and here and here and here for more info.Below the Earth's Surface / Seismic Activity
The earth's mantle is heating up. So in addition to the 'greenhouse effect' that we see above ground, we are also seeing volcanoes awaken all over the planet. The high increase in volcanic activity during the past two years indicates something major is happening. We are also watching Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming very carefully; we have already seen many changes there... For instance, the famous geyser, 'Old Faithful' used to erupt on a very consistent schedule. But for the past several years, some say that it has been erupting more frequently - possibly due to earthquake activity at subterranian water levels. If this 'super volcano' (which is actually a massive caldera) fully destabalizes and erupts, because of it's size - it would be catastophic. Earthquake activity has also increased globally... and in the past several years, we have seen a significant number of earthquakes at the 9.0 [Richter Scale] level... (Japan, Chile, Haiti... just to name a few). To monitor significant earthquakes [based on the Richter Scale], click here.Coronal Mass Ejections / Solar Flares
We've known for some time that 2012 would be a year when sun spot formation and solar flares would peak; this is called the Solar Maximum. This activity is driven by the planet Jupiter. Jupiter's 12 year orbit around the sun is eliptical... and because it is the largest planet in our solar system, during the time period that it reaches Perihelion [closest approach to the Sun], the Sun gets more active... and begins to spew X-flares. When Jupiter is at Aphelion [farthest distance from the Sun] mid-way through it's orbital path (about 6 years after Perihelion), activity on the Sun is relatively quiet. Nasa is watching CME's (Coronal mass ejections) with 2 spacecrafts, called STEREO A and STEREO B. But you can actually track these solar storms yourself - and watch them on time-lapse photography - on NASA's SOHO Movie Theater. On that page, leave the resolution at 512 and enter in the dates you would like to observe using the date format given. Select LASCO 3 for the blue screen - which is the best view (or LASCO 2 for infrared).SIDE NOTE REGARDING NASA: I've done a lot of research over the years... and have come to the conclusion that NASA consistantly covers up data on a variety of things; they've been doing it for decades. And although this is my personal opinion, there is also a significant amount of evidence to support that statement - a whole page worth actually - which goes hand in hand with what you're reading here.

Mass Deaths of Birds and Fish
Another phenomenon that recently came to my attention in early 2011 was first reported on the news... At first, I thought it was a local issue but then after I looked into it, I discovered reports that this was happening at various places on the planet. Naturally, things like contamination could cause a local 'fish kill'... But what could cause thousands of blackbirds to fall from the sky? This happened in Arkansas, in the United States... and also as far away as New Zealand - on the other side of the planet. And what could cause 2 MILLION dead fish to wash up in Chesapeak Bay, Maryland? Or two TONS of dead fish to wash up off the coast of Brazil?? We're not talking small numbers here.Examination of these animals has shown 'no known cause' for their demise. But SOMETHING is killing them... and speculation about what that might be continues. Someone suggested the possibility that a higher level of magnatism might've disturbed something in their brains which would've affected their ability to navigate. The jury is still out on this... But you can read about it here and here. And it's gotten so widespread, that Google now has a map of 'Mass Animal Deaths': click here
So what does all of this mean?
What were the ancient Mayans, Egyptians and Sumarians trying to tell us?
And more importantly...
Is there something that would tie 'all of the above' together?
Maybe...
But I don't like what I've found.
To be continued...
Please check back - I will be adding a lot more information... some of which is coming to light as I write this. And in the meantime, I apologize in advance for the delay (and for keeping you in suspense!) - but I want to be SURE about this information before I share it.
In the meantime...
Thanks for visiting... and thanks for your patience!
