The 2012 Story
John Major Jenkins
On December 21, 2012, the Mesoamerican “long count” calendar, a cyclical 5,125-year system pioneered by the Maya, came to an end. At the same time, the earth, the sun, and the center of the galaxy came together in an extremely rare cosmic alignment. Many people believe that the world experienced a transformation in 2012, but few are aware of the significance of the date and its implications for the study of ancient myth and religion. This book provides a definitive explanation of one of the most thought-provoking phenomena of our time.
