While exploring the possible reasons why the Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012, the author noticed that this date coincided with a rare alignment of our solar system. It is also the date that the Mayan calendar is recalibrated to zero as the Maya believe time is cyclical, not linear. Will humans survive this date? Jenkins believes we will and that the date marks the beginning of a new and better world. He sees it as a time for spiritual growth—since the Maya saw it as a time of dramatic rebirth for humanity. This book contains a wealth of researched information on Mayan astronomy, mythology, and calendrics.
