Death of the Fifth Sun
So I was reading The Big Book of the Unexplained and I happened upon this story:
According to the Maya, the world undergoes cyclic destruction and creation. Each "New Age" launched by the death and rebirth of numbered suns. The culture of the Maya vanished long before the predicted death of the fourth sun in 1519. They had also prophesied an ensuing fifth sun of "Darkness and Ignorance". Following Cortes' Conquest of the post-Mayan Aztec empire in 1519, vast knowledge was lost when virtually all Aztec and Mayan illuminated (or illustrated)records were destroyed.
The death of this fifth sun of ignorance was pinpointed by the Maya for July 11, 1991 - The date of a rare total solar eclipse lasting six minutes and 45 seconds. One of the few surviving Mayan documents, the "Dresde Codex" of 755 A.D., foretold that the death of the fifth sun and rebirth of the sixth sun would herald "earth changes" and "cosmic awareness" created by encounters with "the masters of the stars". On July 11, 1991 in Mexico City, the worlds largest metropolis, built atop the conquered Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, crowds gathered to view the solar eclipse. A number of the modern Mexicans, descendants of the Maya and the Aztecs were equipped with video camcorders --all pointed upward. History's longest and best-documented UFO flap thus began when 17 different videotapes showed the same UFO hovering under the eclipse (or "dying) fifth sun. It was visible for 23 minutes.
By 1997, the Mexico City sightings encompassed at least seven different UFO types, literally millions of witnesses, thousands of videotapes and hundreds of hours of footage. Far from fearful (and perhaps slipping into "cosmic awareness") the Mexican people seemed awed and delighted by the perpetually-hovering UFO's.
Since 1991, the "masters of the stars" have been seen and taped most often above Mexico City and nearby Mount Popocatépetl -- which turned active volcano shortly afer the eclipse in 1519, as if fulfilling the prophesied "earth changes".
If this is the first you have heard of all this it's not surprising. The worldwide mainstream media has largely ignored it. However, Jaime Maussan, a highly respected reporter on the Mexican version of 60 Minutes, takes the matter quite seriously saying that it would appear that the ancient Mayan prophecy is fully accurate.
If so, then our current sixth sun will die in 2012. The same year (according to astrological and astronomical predictions) the earth transits from the ordered age of Pisces into the chaos of Aquarius as measured by the 28,000-year axial-tilt phenomenon known as the "Precession of the Equinox". This "precession" by the way, has been blamed for past cataclysms ranging from floods to pole-shifts.
Finally, six is it. After that, according to the Maya, there are no more suns.
------------------------------------
Personally, I don't know whether to be afraid that this is right, or that its wrong. After doing a bit of internet research, 2012 was supposedly back in 2007, and yet nothing happened. So who knows.. I guess we will find out in about 3 and 1/2 years. Meanwhile, curiosity has me interested enough to research this a bit further.
