I wrote this a couple Years ago and posted it to www.Tribe.net...
"That simple question has a very complicated answer. Both dates are related to the precession of the equinoxes. 12.21.2012 is the end of the Baktun
Long Count. A period of 13 Baktuns or 5,125.36 years is indicated on creation monuments as one 'World Age', 5 such 'World Age' or about 25,627
years is equal to one full precession. It is not the end of the Mayan Calendar, but a specific marker. On that day the Winter Solstice Sun will pass
through the Galactic Rift. The Sun will Die and Be Reborn. Just as with the Astro-Theology of the Christmas Story...
The main problem being the actual beginning of the Age of Aquarius. First the stars are not in the same place they were 26,000 ago, and the Zodiac was
very different as well. The modern Zodiac is based on 12 signs, but there is a 13th sign known in ancient times, Ophiuchus or the Serpent Bearer. IF
you use 26,000 years for 1 precession and divide that by 12 for the number of the Zodiacal signs you will get 2166.6, using 25,800 you will get 2150.
The Birth of Jesus is the start of the western Gregorian Calendar. Jesus was the Avatar for the Sign of Pisces, so starting at the year 0 AD and then
adding the time of one Age you will get the year the Age of Aquarius will begin... As you see, 2150 is a good guess... IF you use only 12 signs... IF
you use 13 signs you will get 26000/13=2000, 25800/13=1984, 25750/13=1980. So yes they are related... One is highly accurate, has undergone no major
changes, and has a reset to realign with the stars every 52 years... That would be the Mayan Calendar... The other is highly inaccurate, based on
calendars no longer in use, has undergone major changes many times, and never resets to keep up with the movement of the stars... That would be the
western calendars. I hope that spurs more research and answers a question everyone seemed to ignore to debate the reference movie. On that note....
ZEITGEIST or the Spirit of the Age is only a small part of a huge picture. To me, it did seem to be a few truths and half-truths strung together with
lies and negative view points. In my opinion the overall effect was negative and conveys a sense of hopelessness. Nothing can be further from the
truth. We create our Reality... Do not let anything keep you from createing a postive world that we can all enjoy, especially fear. Fear is the mind
killer. WE CAN AND WE WILL!!! OM MANI PADME HUM"
This was in response to a Question about the Reference of the Age of Aquarius and 2012 brought up in the Movie Zeitgeist.
