| What will happen in 2012? | | | | Alignment |
| 2012 is less than 2 years away and no one can | | | | During the winter solstice in 2012 the sun will finally |
| confidently say for sure what exactly is going to | | | | align itself with the center of the Milky Way for the |
| happen. We've heard all the rumors about a 10th | | | | first time in about 26,000 years. This is fact and not |
| Planet. We've heard the rapture is going to happen. | | | | open to speculation. However, our scientists know |
| We've heard the poles are shifting. We've heard an | | | | very little about what the effects are of this |
| asteroid is going to hit us -- recently brought to life | | | | alignment if there are any at all. Indeed we have |
| by a popular movie. | | | | experienced cosmic alignments of this variety before |
| I've been researching 2012 for a lot longer time than | | | | and the world did not get destroyed. |
| most people have any heard of it. I knew about it | | | | However, what did happen 26,000 years ago? |

| advanced Mayan civilization and is on a REVOLVING | | | | 21,000 and 17,000 years ago. So, give or take 10 |

| we are all dead -- it means a NEW cycle starts after | | | | Given our present situation with our treatment of the |
