The first I heard about the Great Pyramids aligning with Orion's Belt on Dec. 21st, 2012 was on a History Channel program several years ago. The same
program also told of the Chinese temple complex Angkor Wat, with many depictions representing the Milky Way, aligning with the constellation of Draco
- also on Dec. 21st , 2012. I remember a few other correlations to that date during the show, but I can't find a copy of it.
Also if I'm not mistaken 2012 isn't the end date of the whole Mayan calender just this current cycle. I've included a link to a site with info.
regarding Angkor Wat.

Another interesting fact is that the Mayan God Quetzalcoatl, God of Knowledge and wisdom, was a bearded white man.

My belief on these matters is the Egyptian and Mayan cultures had help advancing from another group - Atlantis. The ancient Atlantians were a highly
advanced race. They were described in Plato's writings to be pale haired and pale skinned. After some disaster wiped out their city and most of the
population the remaining Atlantians spread out among the world, carrying with them their knowledge.
Some went to Egypt and there helped construct the pyramid's. Other's went went to China, Europe, South America and beyond. And crazy as it sounds I
believe that many of the survivors left the planet all together and that the significance of Dec. 21 , 2012 is the return of the Atlantian people.
I would love to hear what people think of my crazy, but possibly true

, ideas.
