Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
While researching the 2012 end-date of the Maya Calendar, John Major Jenkins decoded the Maya's galactic cosmology. The Maya discovered that the periodic alignment of the Sun with the center of the Milky Way galaxy is the formative influence on human evolution. These alignments also define a series of World Ages. The fourth age ends on December 21, 2012, when an epoch chapter in human history will come to an end. Maya Cosmogenisis 2012 reveals the Maya's insight into the cyclic nature of time, and prepares us for oue own cosmogenesis--the birth of a new world.

very complicated and very surreal. An indepth and complicated book that may be telling of the very near future.

This 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.

Overall 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 grey hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The "black sun". I think I read somewhere else that an energy beam is emanating from the grey sun and this beam will strike the earth on that date.
The author doesn't really say exactly what's supposed to happen on that date. Perhaps the change that occurs will be within all of us I don't know.
Another re-occuring point is the Mayan shamans' use of mind altering substances such as certain mushrooms. To avoid the upset stomach that these concoctions could cause they would sometimes inject the mixture directly into their intestines.
In appendix 6 he critiques some other books on this subject and compares them to his own research. He disagrees with others that the ancient Egyptians were more advanced that the Mayans. My own take is both cultures have a common source (Atlantis). The pyramid of Kukulcan compares very well to the other pyramids around the world. However the pyramids at Giza, especially when they were in their original condition, stand alone.
Nobody really knows how these pyramids were built by the way, much as traditional Egyptologists like to make us think they know.
He is correct that people in our modern world yesterday may in some cases tend to underestimate the knowledge that these ancient cultures possessed.
Many people yesterday have a feeling that something strange is going to happen soon. I do anyway. Perhaps a lot of people like to read those 'left behind' books because that's a Christian response to this feeling.
There are some truly tragic desecrations and destructions of culture and knowledge that stand out in human history. Here's my short list:
1) the Muslims destroying the surfaces of the pyramids at Giza in Egypt so they could use the limestone for their palaces for Mohammed
2) the burning of the library at Alexandria by the Christians
3) the Spanish burning all of the Mayan's ancient codex booklets and melting down all of the Aztec's priceless gold artifacts
So we see that no single religion or country had any monopoly on destroying knowledge and history.

Cosmogenesis 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.

This work of Jenkins was all and more than I thought it would be. I share his path to where we are going in 2012. I would purchase any work of Jenkins as I know I would not be disappointed.
