Reveals the secrets of the Maya`s galactic cosmology While researching the 2012 end-date of the Maya calendar, John Major Jenkins decoded the Maya`s galactic cosmology. The Maya discovered that the periodic alignment of the Sun with the center of the Milky Way galaxy is the formative influence on human evolution. These alignments also define a series of world ages. The fourth age ends on December 21, 2012, when a large chapter in human history will come to an end.
