INTRODUCTION

(Note: I am providing this information to my friends and family, in the sincerest hope that they will take it seriously and not simply ignore it. The scientific evidence supporting the likelihood of a serious catastrophe in 2012 is undeniable.)

Periodically, some religious cult comes forth claiming that "the end of the world is near". (Remember the Y2K hype?) Many people have heard about the latest- the Mayan prediction that the world is ending on Dec 21st, 2012. However, the calendar is misunderstood, and that characterization is incorrect. What is actually being referred to is the end of the current Mayan "Long Year", and the beginning of the next. The Mayans, like many cultures, believe that time, and the world, is cyclical- in contrast to the western linear viewpoint.

So, is this transition anything to be concerned about? In and of itself, the answer is no, since the Mayan calendar is simply marking an event. It does not mention any horrible, global catastrophes. However, there are both current scientific happenings, as well as some rare celestial events occuring in 2012 that are of concern. We will discuss them on this page.

CURRENT AND UPCOMING ASTRONOMICAL EVENTS

1. Ending of Earth's Current Precessional Wobble.

“In astronomy, precession refers to the movement of the rotational axis of a body, such as a planet, with respect to inertial space. In particular, it refers to the precession of the Earth's rotational axis, also called the precession of the equinoxes. Like a wobbling top, the orientation of the Earth's axis is slowly but continuously changing, tracing out a conical shape in a cycle of approximately 25,765 years (the so called Great or Platonic year, and also the determining factor in the length of an astrological age). This movement is caused by the gravitational forces of the Sun and the Moon, and to a lesser extent other bodies, on the equatorial bulge of the spinning Earth. The term "precession" typically refers only to this largest periodic motion; other changes in the alignment of Earth's axis — nutation and polar motion — are very much smaller in magnitude.”[1]

Basically, the Earth is spinning on its axis, similar to a spinning top. It takes 25,765 years for it to finish one wobble, and then it starts another. Why is this important? Well, most researchers believe the earth is going to be completing its current wobble soon- "coincidentally?" on Dec 21st, 2012, to be exact.

What is concerning is that geological evidence indicates some previous pole shifts and earth crust displacements have occurred at the same time as the ending/beginning of a precessional wobble. Some researchers believe that the earth is somehow vulnerable at this point in its wobble, and particularly so to gravitational influences (such as the one mentioned in the next sections).

2. Galactic Alignment.

“The Galactic Alignment is the alignment of the December solstice sun with the Galactic equator.”[2]

In other words, our galaxy (the Milky Way) has a center. All the stars revolve around it. During each precessional wobble (25,765 years), there are four occasions when our galactic center aligns with the sunrise of a solstice or equinox.

Once again, why is this important? Well, once again, "coincidentally?" and amazingly enough, we have a galactic alignment occuring on Dec 21st, 2012...

3. Weakening of Earth's Magnetic Fields. The earth's magnetic field has decreased by 10% in the past century, is continuing to decrease, and the rate of that decrease accelerating. Many scientists believe, and the evidence supports it, that the weakening of the magnetic field heralds a pole shift. The reason being is that in flipping, it "recharges" the earth's magnetic field- imagine a battery, where positive is on one end, and negative the other. The question is at what point during the earth's weaking magnetic field that the shift will occur, and the answer is unknown.

4. Magnetic North Pole Moves Rapidly From Canada Towards Siberia. In 2005, it was reported that the earth's magnetic north pole, which has been in Canada since the 1600s, had left Canada towards Siberia. Also interesting in the report was the following:

"Curiously, the speed with which the pole moves could be related to dramatic events like the massive earthquake that caused last December's devastating tsunami. That quake was big enough to alter the shape of Earth and jar the planet into a slightly different axis of rotation. It also had enough power to jolt the molten iron that powers the magnetic field, and could be partly responsible for magnetic 'jerks' that are propelling the magnetic North Pole, Newitt said."

Oh boy... the driving force behind pole shifts is supposedly the earth's magnetic inner core and it's field, both the need to "recharge" and the impetus from the sun's magnetic flares. So now we not only have a weakening magnetic field, but the report that the molten iron that powers said field has been jolted and is responsible for "jerks"...

5. Increased Sun Activity. It is known that the sun's activity has increased significantly over the past century. It is believed that there is a correlation between the sun's cycle and magnetic fluctuations, and pole shifts. On 31 Jul 08, a sun spot appeared on the sun, a normal occurrence- except it was magnetically backward. Recently, scientists stated that the solar activity had reached a new high, and that "the Sun is more magnetically active now than it has been for over a 1000 years". They went on to state that this unprecedented level of activity needed to be understood, to determine if this was a rare event or a new dynamic state.

In 2005, "So massively and constant have these unknown solar blasts been affecting our entire solar system that even the worlds top scientists are becoming increasingly alarmed, especially with the effects these blasts are having upon our sun, and as we can read as reported by the United States Space Agency NASA in their report titled 'New solar storm shakes space weather theory' and which says;

'January 2005 was a stormy month--in space. With little warning, a giant spot materialized on the sun and started exploding. Between January 15th and 19th, sunspot 720 produced four powerful solar flares. When it exploded a fifth time on January 20th, onlookers were not surprised. They should have been. Researchers realize now that the January 20th blast was something special. It has shaken the foundations of space weather theory and, possibly, changed the way astronauts are going to operate when they return to the Moon.'"

6. System Pass Through of Planet X. [SUSPECTED]

“Perturbation is a term used in astronomy to describe alterations to an object's orbit caused by gravitational interactions with other bodies.”[3]

Contrary to what most people believe, some planets in our solar system were not found by telescope, but because of their gravitation effects on known planets- in other words, not from direct observation, but from mathematical prediction. For example, Neptune was found in 1846 due to its effects on Uranus. Then peturbations were found for Uranus, prompting the search for the body affecting it. In 1905, Percival Lowell started an extensive project in search of a possible ninth planet, which he termed "Planet X”.[4] In 1930, Pluto was discovered; however, it was determined that its mass (approximately .2% of Earth’s) was far too little to be responsible for Uranus’ peturbations.

In a NASA press release in 1992, it was confirmed that there was an unknown body affecting Uranus: "Unexplained deviations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune point to a large outer solar system body of 4 to 8 Earth masses, on a highly tilted orbit, beyond 7 billion miles from the sun."

The New York Times did an article on Jan 30, 1983 titled “Clues Get Warm in the Search for Planet X” where it discussed the issue: “Something out there beyond the farthest reaches of the known solar system seems to be tugging at Uranus and Neptune. Some gravitational force keeps perturbing the two giant planets, causing irregularities in their orbits. The force suggests a presence far away and unseen, a large object that may be the long-sought Planet X... Recent calculations by the United States Naval Observatory have confirmed the orbital perturbation exhibited by Uranus and Neptune, which Dr. Thomas C. Van Flandern, an astronomer at the observatory, says could be explained by 'a single undiscovered planet.' He and a colleague, Dr. Robert Harrington, calculate that the 10th planet should be two to five times more massive than Earth and have a highly elliptical orbit that takes it some 5 billion miles beyond that of Pluto – hardly next-door but still within the gravitational influence of the Sun..”

Planet X is believed to have been "unofficially" spotted in 1983 by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) at a distance of 51 AU (1.3 times further away from Pluto) from Earth, in an orbit that puts it at 37 degrees below the ecliptic. The U.S. News and World Report did an article on Sep 10, 1984 titled "Planet X — Is It Really Out There?", discussing the IRAS spotting. It stated that "Last year, the infrared astronomical satellite (IRAS), circling in a polar orbit 560 miles from the Earth, detected heat from an object about 50 billion miles away that is now the subject of intense speculation. 'All I can say is that we don't know what it is yet,' says Gerry Neugebaur, director of the Palomar Observatory for the California Institute of Technology. Scientists are hopeful that the one-way journeys of the Pioneer 10 and 11 space probes may help to locate the nameless body."

Based upon current ambiguities that have begun recently in our solar system, and its unofficial spotting, several astronomers believe that it is beginning its approach for its pass through the inner solar system. In their book “Planet X Forecast and 2012 Survival Guide”, authors Jacco van der Worp and Marshall Masters (both Mensa) present evidence towards this position. If their calculations are correct, then amateur telescopes should be able to detect this planet in late 2009 or early 2010, and that it'll pass through in our solar system will be in... 2012.

What does this mean, and why is it important? Planet X is massive and the effects of its periodic pass through our solar system are unknown but presumed to be disastrous. The consequences of its pass through cannot be understated; gravity is an extremely powerful force for celestial bodies and should not be underestimated. For example, our moon is less than 1/4 the size of earth, yet its gravity influences the earth to a high degree- such as our tides. Imagine a planetary body that is 4-8 times LARGER than earth; it's effects are bound to be much greater.

However, the answer might be right under our nose- by survivors who witnessed its passage previously. Several ancient cultures KNEW of this body, identified it as a second red sun in the sky (which it would indeed look like), and associated it with great catastrophes such as increased tectonic activity.. For example, the ancient Sumerians describe it in their epics; amazingly, not only did they know of all the planets in our solar system, but what they describe of its orbit (both length and orientation) corresponds exactly with what NASA describes. Below, in the evidence section, we will describe in detail some of the other ancient legends regarding Planet X.

POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES

Note: This section pending completion

1. Increased tectonic activity

2. Pole Shifts [Supported by Einstein]. What is a pole shift? It is when the earth flips its axis of rotation. It used to be believed that due to the earth's size and inertia, that such an event could not occur. However, scientists have known since the 1970s that the earth DOES periodically shifts its poles- they have even identified some locations of previous poles, such as the Hudson Bay in Canada.

Much credit for proving the theory belongs to Charles Hapgood, who methodically presented the evidence in his book "Path of the Pole". In the early 60s, he engaged in correspondence with Albert Einstein, who became such an ardent supporter of the theory that he ended up writing the preface to Hapgood's book.

Both believed it would take a long time to occur, but also acknowledged the evidence a pole shift could occur in a short span of time as well; they speculated that the approach of a hugely magnetic celestial body, or the impact of large enough meteor could induce a fast pole shift. Evidence of a fast pole shift has been found, such as huge numbers of warm-blooded, temperate adapted mammal species that were instantly frozen and then their bodies preserved in the permafrost- a prime example is the frozen mammoth found in Siberia with buttercups in its mouth and undigested grasses in its stomach.

We KNOW pole shifts occur; the question is how often and when is the next one? Based upon the available evidence, pole shifts occur approximately every 11,500 - 12,000 years. It is believed that the previous pole shifts occurred in 9792 B.C and 21,312 B.C. Some of the precursor events prior to a pole shift are a weakening in the earth's magnetic field and the sun's cycle which causes huge CME's that affect the earth.

3. Earth Crust Displacement (ECD) [Also supported by Einstein]. Albert Einstein was also involved in Charles Hapgood’s formation of a theory called Earth Crust Displacement (ECD). The basic concept of the theory is that the earth’s lithosphere, although composed of individual plates, can at times move as a whole over the asthenosphere. Einstein wrote that “one can hardly doubt that significant shifts of the crust have taken place repeatedly and within a short time”.[5]

ECD is almost invariably associated with pole shifts, and is the only logical explanation for certain problematica, such as: ancient detailed maps of Antarctica accurately detailing coastline that currently lies under a mile of ice, flash frozen mammoth like the one previously mentioned, various oral legends and myths (discussed below) describing the sun changing direction and the stars their positions, and frozen animals found with vegetation in their stomachs that currently do not exist in that climate.

EVIDENCE OF PREVIOUS EVENTS

Note: This section pending completion.

1. Ancient Knowledge of Planet X and Survivor Descriptions of Previous System Pass Throughs.

  • Sumerian TabletAccording to researcher Zecharia Sitchin, the Sumerians had numerous epics where they explicitly reference Planet X, referred to as Nibiru.
  • Many believe that references in the Christian Bible by Elijah to “The Destroyer” (Jeremiah 25:32 and 48:8) are to Planet X- "Disasters will soon spread from nation to nation. They will come like a powerful storm to all the faraway places on earth... The Destroyer will come against every town, not one town will escape."
  • A previous pass was described extensively in the Kolbrin Bible, as "The Destroyer/Frightener". For example:
    • Egyptian Texts of the Bronzebook
      • Creation 4:5- "..God caused a sign to appear in the Heaves, so that men should know the earth would be afflicted, and the sign was a strange star."
      • Manuscripts 3:10- "...the hour of the Destroyer is at hand...".
      • Manuscripts 33:5- "... four times the stars have moved to new positions and twice the Sun has [appeared to] change the direction of his journey. Twice The Destroyer has struck Earth and three times the heavens have opened and shut. Twice the land has been swept clean by water." [See below about the associated pole shift with Planet X's pass through.]
      • Manuscripts 3:3- "When ages pass, certain laws operate upon the stars in the Heavens. Their ways change; there is movement and restlessness, they are no longer constant and a great light appears redly in the skies."
      • Manuscripts 3:4- "When blood drops upon the Earth, the destroyer will appear, and mountains will open up and belch forth fire and ashes. Trees will be destroyed and all living things engulfed. Waters will be swallowed up by the land, and seas will boil."
      • GLN:4:28- "The swelling waters swept up to the mountain tops and filled the valleys. [They] came in great surging torrents... the Destroyer passed away and the gread flood remained seven days afterward. Then the waters spread out calmly. There was brown scum and debris".
    • Celtic Texts of the Coelbook
      • Silver Bough 7:18- "...I am the prophet to tell men of The Frightener, though many generations will pass before it appears. It will be a thing of monstrous greatness arising in the form of a crab.. its body will be red... It will spread destruction across the Earth, running from sunrise to sunset.".

2. Ancient Knowledge of Poles and Descriptions of Pole Shifts. Many primitive tribes describe not only poles explicitly, but also pole shifts:

  • Kolbrin Bible, Manuscripts 33:5 - "... four times the stars have moved to new positions and twice the Sun has [appeared to] change the direction of his journey. Twice The Destroyer has struck Earth and three times the heavens have opened and shut. Twice the land has been swept clean by water."
  • The Greenland Eskimos told early missionaries that long ago the Earth "turned over".
  • The Pawnee Indians tell the same story of a time when the north and south polar stars changed places and "went to visit each other".
  • Brazilian myth describes how the heavens burst and fragments fell down killing everything and everyone as heavens and Earth changed places.
  • The Hopi tribe have a legend that explains the death of the second world. There were supposedly two twins, Poqanghoya and Plongawhoya, who were guardians of the north and south axes of the world. They were ordered by Sotuknang, a nephew of the Creator, to abandon their posts since people had become evil. This would allow the destruction of the second world, and allow a new world to form. According to the legend, when the twins left their posts, the world went crazy in space. Eventually Sotuknang ordered [the twins] to their stations at the poles of the world axis. With a great shudder and a splintering of ice the planet began rotating again. When it was revolving smoothly about its own axis and stately moving in its universal orbit, the ice began to melt and the world began to warm to life. Sokutnang set about creating the Third World.[6]
  • Some researchers believe that the description of the Flood in the Christian Bible is describing the tidal surges associated with an ECD. This is also described in the Kolbrin Bible, as seen above, seemingly in association with a pass of Planet X:
    • OGS:3:22,23- "Then... came a high wave wall of dark, white-fang-edged waters... carried everything... as a broom sweeps the floor... fruits of the land, house debris, trees, bloated dead animals and humans floated upon the wild, wide waters... earthy, brown, foamy scum... great downpouring of rain which stopped after seven days, surging seas tore even between the high mountains.. [Their ancestors] saw the swimming house, made fast against the sea, come up to the land, and out of it came men and beasts from Tirfola [North American continent]".
    • Gleanings 4:24- "The Destroyer... opened its mouth and belched forth fire, hot stones, and a vile smoke. It covered the whole sky above and meeting place of Earth and Heaven could no longer be seen. In the evening, the places of the stars were changed, they rolled across the sky to new stations; then, the floodwaters came".
    • Gleanings 4:28- "The swelling waters swept up to the mountain tops and filled the valleys. They did not rise like water poured into a bowl, but came in great surging torrents...".
  • Old Chinese texts describe how the pillars supporting the sky crumbled; of how the sun, moon and stars poured down in the northwest where the Earth sank and a great conflagration was quenched by a raging flood.
  • North American traditions refer to great clouds appearing and a heat so powerful that the waters boiled.
  • Peruvian legends say that the Andes Mountains were ripped apart when the sky made war with the Earth.

3. Pole Shifts and ECD: Physical Evidence. Pending completion

  • Magnetically charged lava (this is who previous locations of the poles have been identified).
  • Frozen Alaskan "Muck". "In Alaska, thick frozen deposits of soil, boulder, plant and animal (commonly known as "muck") exist. Prof. Frank C. Hibben of the University of New Mexico described these deposits: "In many places, Alaskan muck is packed with animal bones and debris in trainload lots. Bones of mammoths, mastodons, several kind of bison, horses, wolves, bears and lions tell a story of a faunal population. within this frozen mass lie the twisted parts of animals and trees intermingled with lenses of ice and layers of peat and mosses. It looks as though in the midst of some cataclysmic catastrophe of ten thousand years ago the whole Alaskan world of living animals and plants was suddenly frozen in mid-motion like a grim charade.twisted and torn trees are piled in splintered masses . at least four considerable layers of volcanic ash may be traced in these deposits, although they are extremely warped and distorted." This suggests that although volcanoes were erupting, other forces were required to dismember these animals - with mighty floods and hurricanes being the most likely."[7]
  • Rancho La Brea tar pits. "In the heart of Los Angeles are one of the richest sources of fossils discovered to date- more than 565 species all got stuck in the tar. There is no explanation for the incredible density of animals that "got stuck" there. During the first University of California excavations in 1906, they found a "bed of bones" which contained over seven hundred sabre-toothed tiger skulls. These combined with wolf skulls averaged twenty per cubic yard.[15] Almost more bones than tar. They are not the bones of animals that merely got stuck and waited to die. They are "broken, mashed, contorted and mixed in a most heterogeneous mass", just like in the muck of Alaska. And we mustn't overlook the fossilised birds that have been dug up, 100,000 of them, including over 138 species, 19 of which are extinct. The George C. Page Museum suggests that the 3,000 birds that are predators and scavengers may have been attempting to feed on other trapped animals, when they themselves got stuck. As sensible as this idea sounds, it fails to explain the presence of the further 97,000 birds that were non-carnivorous. Or three species of fish! At the end of the last ice age (circa 10,000 BC) many North American species became extinct, including: mammoths, camels, Pre-Columbian horses, ground sloths, peccaries, antelopes, elephants, rhinoceroses, giant armadillos, tapirs, sabre-toothed tigers and giant bison. All of these animals are relatively large. How did they all become trapped in pits of asphalt? Or were they wiped out by a terrible catastrophe?"[7]
  • Siberian Mammoths. "It has been estimated that more than half a million tons of mammoth tusks were buried along Siberia's Arctic coastline, which equates to roughly five million mammoths. Several dozen frozen mammoth carcasses have been found with the flesh still intact. They died suddenly. In their stomachs can be found undigested vegetation, including grass, bluebells, wild beans and buttercups[19] - food typically available in the summer. Scientists examining them have concluded that three of the mammoths died of asphyxiation. The cause of death of the others has not been determined. Regardless of cause, they froze within days of dying, and when unfrozen the flesh has been fresh enough to feed to dogs. With the previous pole positioned at Hudson Bay, the North Siberian coastline would have had the same latitude as Japan does today, well outside of the Arctic Circle. But when the poles shifted, the climate would have rapidly changed, from a summer savannah where mammoths munched on buttercups, to a frozen wasteland. But wait a minute; weren't the woolly mammoths suited to living in a cold climate? They are described as woolly due to their hairy coat, but this is only hair, greaseless hair. To help protect them from the cold, all of today's Arctic mammals have glands that make their hair oily to retain warmth - the mammoths had no such gland. Although thicker, a mammoth's hair is the same as that of elephants, and they live in the tropical regions. Many animals found in equatorial jungles also have thick hair, the tiger being one such example. Anyone still unconvinced could consider this - bones of tigers, rhinoceroses and antelope were found alongside the mammoths, and these are obviously not Arctic creatures."[7]


PREPARING FOR 2012

At this point, if you believe the evidence, you may be thinking "should I even try to prepare for it... what kind of life would I have?" The answer is YES! All the archeological evidence shows that there is critical period of 3-4 years of tribulation and struggle to survive, but then the earth will bloom and it triggers an evolutionary jumpstart for mankind. There will be abundant and new vegetation, as old climates are revived and blended with the new climate. Also, historically, man tends to be revitalized, and dealing with the change spurs innovation.

You need to be prepared to survive on your own for a 3-4 year period; items such as food, water source, survival gear, medical and first aid, defense, etc. Also, consider your geographical location- high altitude areas are HIGHLY recommended, given the scientific supposition (and historical eyewitness accounts) of tidal surges that cover entire continents.

CONCLUSION

Worrying about vague predictions that have no substantiated reasons is nonsensical- look at how many times Christians believed the end of the world was coming, the end of world predictions by Nostradmous, or even the Y2K scare. However, in contrast, the above IS cause for concern as current and upcoming events are known scientific facts. Let's look at some of these facts:

  • The earth goes through periodic pole shifts and earth crust displacements.
  • The earth's magnetic field has been unexplicably weakening.
  • The earth's molten iron (that powers the magnetic field) was jolted, and is "jerking" the magnetic north pole- which has begun moving at an accelerated rate.
  • The sun's activity has reached a new high, and is more magnetically active now that in the last 1,000 years.
  • Recently a sun spot appeared on the sun- magnetically backward.
  • In 2005, NASA has been so concerned with solar blasts and the effects on the sun (such as the unprecedent solar flares) that they claimed the space weather theory scrapped.
  • The earth is finishing its current precessional cycle in 2012.
  • Geological evidence (such as magnetically charged lava) has shown that pole shifts occur at the ending/beginning of precessional cycles.
  • Primitive peoples specifically describe pole shifts and earth crust displacements.

The above is alarming, since they are what scientists believe are the precursors to a pole shift. This is even more worrisome when you take into consideration that it is believed pole shifts occur every 11,500-12,000 years ago, and the last one is believed to have occurred in 9792 BC- 11,800 years ago... And yet no one wants to consider that a pole shift could be imminent! Why? I believe it has to do with the mentality of not expecting disasters to happen to you personally. Look at people whose homes are devestated by a tornado- despite living in a region where they are KNOWN to happen, they invariably say something like "I never thought this would happen to me!"

Given that the Mayan were acknowledged genius of astronomy and mathematics, and probably survivors from a previous pole shift and ECD, it is no coincidence that their long "year" calendar is the same as the suspected time span between pole shifts. They based their prediction on their knowledge of these astronomical events and the survivors' knowledge of the consequences. We ignore such a warning at our own peril.

In the end, as a result of studying the scientific facts and antidoctal evidence, I believe that we are facing a dual threat- the imminent return of Planet X as well as a pole shift with likely ECD. This is truly not "the end of the world" as both the earth and man has survived these events before; however, neither should it be dismissed because many will die and civilization regress significantly. We must begin preparation NOW.
