2012 Apocalypse or Enlightenment : cultural phenomenon of the Mayan Calendar

Further comments by Michael Rosenthal:

Michael Rosenthal • Personally I like number nine on the Beatle's White album. I doubt if John Lennnon knew why it was so significant to him - he even had on the wall above his bed. The Mayans built their pyramidal temples in 9 levels or 5 (4up +1 + 4down). Their architecture often encoded numbers. The temple at Chechen Itza notably encodes 13 - to be seen only at the spring and fall equinoxes besides 9. Many sacred numbers turn up over and over again in the study of the ancient world. We often did not know what they signified or thought that they had only mythological significance. The astro- archeologists on whose work much of the the Mayan speculation is based believed that we should look to the heavens for the answer. Narveen maybe you can say more about the significance of nine in other cultures.

Comments by Michael Bayles:
Mwc Bayles • I forgot about Revolution 9. It reflected how chaotic the times were, I'd say, for both our society and for The Beatles. Thanks for mentioning it.
Michael Rosenthal • 52 years from 1960 to 2012 would have some informal support for being an important time period for the Mayans. And the Age of Aquarius can be seen as lining up with 2012. This subject will require more exegesis. The word exogesis brings something to mind - I see no support for May 21, 2011 being significant in the Mayan research. It is interestingly close though.
Some general resources for the research inclined: John Major Jenkins - Maya Cosmogenesis 2012, Galactic Alignment. Carl Johan Calleman: The Mayan Calendar, The Mayan Calendar and The Transformation of Consciousness, The Purposeful Universe.
