The Mayans had several calendars, the Haa'b, the Tzolkin, and the 'Long Count'. The Tzolkin (Sacred Round) calendar was the traditional 260 day year (13 months of 20 days) and was based on the 26,000 year cycle of the Plieades, whereas the Haab calendar is the traditional 365 day year. The Haab and Tzolkin calendars were based on the 52 year Haab cycle, these cycles were combined into the Long Count calendar. The Long Count series of twenty years has called each uinals, tun, katun and baktuns. Each Uinal (month) is 20 kin, a tun uinals 18 (months), 360 kin and close to 365 days in a year, in line five days Uayeb. After this exception, returned to vigesimal system, again using the factor 20, then a Katun was 7200 days, twenty tuns. The next step was a twenty Baktun katuns formed for a total of 144,000 Kines. 400 tuns. In short: the Mayan calendar does mark the most recent age of the 5th and final cycle from August 13, 3113 (or 3114 BC) to December 21, 2012, the day begins a new cycle. Recent controversies point to an earth ending, while many on the end, believe it will not. Some Mayans have predicted that these will be changing times. The earth will change, which will deeply effect the inhabitants on it. Will it be the end of earth? Will it be the end of mankind? Well, the earth has been through these grand cycle many times before, but the dynamic factor is how life has survived during these transitions.
The precessions of the Grand Zodiac Cycle endure for 25,920 years, or at a rate of 1 degree every 72 years. The complete cycle is 360 degrees so 360 x 72 = 25,920 years. Each zodiac cycle has 30 degrees, meaning that each cycle of an individual zodiac is 2,160 years. As far as research can tell, these dates are not 100% synchronized due to factors like magnetic anomalies, galactic wobble, drift of the galaxy while we evolve around in it, and so on, so averages of 2000 years are loosely used giving an exact date of 160 years either side of the next zodiacal cycle. But astrologically we can visually confirm our precessions. In trying to calculate the beginning of this Grand Cycle, the date of Leo could go back as far as 11,000 BC. At this time we are at the halfway point of the complete cycle, which is also a transitional point in the Zodiac cycle. The 1 degree timeframe has been noted between 65-72 years per degree (the average human life span).
Milankovitch was a Serbian civil engineer and mathematician who worked on his concept during WW1, but his theories were not really examined more closely until the 1970s. His observations were indicators of the phases of the earths' climatic cycles along with solar cycles.
The precession of the earth rotational axis - 26,000 years, and is confirmed by other studies to be between 22,000 and 26,000 years.
Obliquity (tilting) of earths rotational axis - 41,000 years (pitch wobble of earth axis between 21.5 - 24.5 degrees). We're at about 23.45 degrees now, and will will arrive back at the minimum in another 10,000 years. At that time Vega will again be the 'north star', as we use Polaris as our 'north star' now.
Eccentricity (distortion) of earths elliptical orbit - 100,000 years (round > elliptic > round). Another source says this cycle is 413,000 year cycle. This cycle is basically the transition from an egg shaped orbit around the sun to a circular orbit around the sun.
About every 63 million years we pass through one of the outstretched bands in our galaxy. The last time we passed through one of these arms was about 65 million years ago. This cycle is a lesser cycle of the time it takes our solar system to make a complete revolution around our galaxy. The entire process takes approximately 250,000,000 years. The exact numbers are not accurate as we do not yet understand the time cycles of the drift into and out of the swirling arms of our galaxy. It is generally accepted to be about 250,000,000 years as it fits into the approximate 63,000,000 year ELE cycle. Every once in a while we get lucky, but the patterns of Extinction Level Events meshes with the Permian, Triassic, Denovian, and other ELEs. So when the 60 million year cycle is referenced it is more of a specialized guess between 60 - 65 million years.
Is it possible that biological diversity has up and down cycles to the tune of 26,000,000 years? 24,000 BC is the Theoretical beginning of 'The Grand Cycle', which places us at zero point on this cycle.
A section of the Markandeya in the Mahabharata identifies some of the attributes of Kali Yuga:
In relation to rulers
- Rulers will become unreasonable: they will levy taxes unfairly.
- Rulers will no longer see it as their duty to promote spirituality, or to protect their subjects: they will become a danger to the world.
- People will start migrating, seeking countries where wheat and barley form the staple food source.
In human relationships
- Avarice and wrath will be common. Humans will openly display animosity towards each other.
- Ignorance of dharma will occur.
- People will have thoughts of murder with no justification and will see nothing wrong in that.
- Lust will be viewed as socially acceptable and sexual intercourse will be seen as the central requirement of life.
- Sin will increase exponentially, whilst virtue will fade and cease to flourish. People will take vows and break them soon after. People will become addicted to intoxicating drinks and drugs.
- Men will find their jobs stressful and will go to retreats to escape their work.
- Gurus will no longer be respected and their students will attempt to injure them. Their teachings will be insulted, and followers of Kama will wrest control of the mind from all human beings. Brahmins will not be learned or honored, Kshatriyas will not be brave, Vaishyas will not be just in their dealings and Shudras will not be honest and humble in their duties and to the other castes.
According to Nature Magazine and New Scientist magazines, there was a magnetic reversal around 11,000 BC (13,000 years ago). In lieu of this information it definitively ties a series of global events into one short period of time, especially combines with 'sudden and mysterious' melting of ice sheets. The reversal timeline ties into the Tiahuanaco and Gobekli Tepe abandonment, species die-offs, the end of agricultural events in Egypt and flooding of the Nile Valley, volcanic events, etc. And according to J.M. Harwood and S.C.R. Malin in a Nature Magazine article in 1976, another magnetic reversal is due around 2030 AD, which lands directly within another suspected cycle of the rise to paradise, and fall of civilization in 12,500 year cycles. This information basically synchronizes with other cyclical indicators as well.
And..
The 12,000 year Solar magnetic reversal is another theory from Paul LaViollete which indicates the evidence that the sun goes through a geomagnetic makeover, resulting in a magnetic polar flip every 11,500 - 12,000 years. This solar giant, undergoing a magnetic flip sends out polarized magnetic flux strong enough to influence the magnetic stability of earth, and actively influence our own geomagnetic stability. So, theoretically, when the sun goes through a much stronger magnetic shift, the North-South alignment is reversed, have magnetic pull upon our own North-South alignment, thus affecting a magnetic flip.
Yellowstone eruptions in 2,000,000, 1,300,000, and 600,000 BC showing a potential cycle of 600,000 - 650,000 years. Yellowstone eruptions are often referred to as 'planet killers' due to the amount of ejecta and ash. Over these many million of years, yellowstone has had many minor eruptions also. Last one was over 600,000 years ago.
There is also the 100,000,000 year blue star cycle. This may be the blue Katchina the Hopi spoke of. Since very little information is known about this phenomena, we are left to speculate about an outer influence matching that prophesied orbital cycle.
3,600 Nibiru cycle is a popular conception and is closely tied with the 2012'ers. But as it is, we won't know for another 1400 years. In correlation with Sitchin's evidence, the last crossing orbit was in 200BC, 3800 BC before that, 7,500 BC before that, and 11,000 BC before that.
An ice core from the Antarctic's Vostok Glacier -- at the other end of the world from Greenland -- showed the same 1,500-year cycle through its 400,000-year length.
The ice-core findings correlated with known glacier advances and retreats in northern Europe.
Independent data in a seabed sediment core from the Atlantic Ocean west of Ireland, reported in 1997, showed nine of the 1,500-year cycles in the last 12,000 years.
The phenomenon is described as being an explosion of our galactic center (Milky Way) approximately every 13,000 years. This explosion sends out waves of high powered electromagnetic pulses, which is a more powerful version of a solar CME (coronal mass ejection) and they not only pack a strong punch, but carry with it, debris picked up as it travels through vast dust clouds and debris fields (like the asteroid belt). It has been known to either create or end ice ages (depending on which one we are in). They also have the power to destroy ozone layers, and since ours collapsed in 2008 and is now rebuilding, it is in a rather weak state. And it is suggested that the last superwave also delivered a dangerous dose of UV radiation of near lethal amounts. The scenarios involved in this wave range from planetary sterilization to fried satellites. And there is no way of knowing how severs, or even when the next wave will blast out from our galactic core. A single wave could also be enough to pummel our solar system (and others in our galaxy) with dust and debris with the potential of having huge effects upon our sun and our own magnetic poles. We may have already seen the possible effects of one of these events when referencing the 11,000 BC timeframe of our own history.
I mentioned earlier that according to John Major Jenkins the Long Count of the Mayan calendar was devised with the end date of Winter Solstice 2012 in mind. Calleman and Lungold disagree. Based on interpretations of the stele in Coba they have come to the conclusion that the current Long Count is simply one of a series of nine creation cycles going all the way back to the Big Bang 16.4 billion years ago.
Each of these nine creation cycles, or “underworlds”, as the Mayans called them, are composed of thirteen “heavens”, the seven days and six nights of that particular creation cycle. Each successive creation cycle is 20 times shorter than the previous cycle, and is nested within the last day of the previous cycle. As we approach the end of any one of these nine creation cycles, we are simultaneously approaching the end of all the previous and successive cycles as well. The Long Count, also known as the National Underworld, was the sixth of these creation cycles.
There are three other creation cycles since the beginning of the Long Count that are important for us to consider. The Planetary Underworld began in 1755 AD, with each heaven corresponding to approximately 20 solar years. The Galactic Underworld began January 5, 1999, with each heaven now corresponding to 360 days. And the Universal Underworld will begin February 10, 2011, with heavens of 18 days each. All of these nine creation cycles end together on October 28, 2011, following which we move out of linear reckoning of time altogether, and into universal consciousness.
In following up about some of the information from the Coba stelae, there were 32 stones found, some of which are now in museums. According to interpretations from Abelardo Chimal May considers the calendar ending as a being a big change in the world, but not the end of it.
In other popular theories is that about every 100,000 years there is an interglacial warming event (a 90,000 year glacial followed by 10,000 years of interglacial). 16,000 BC was last glacial maximum and between 11,000 - 10,500 BC was the last glacial minimum, leading up to this time (glaciers had retreated by 8,000 BC).
Here's a quick reference to known magnetic reversals:

Some of the islands in the Arctic Ocean were never covered by ice during the last ice age. On Baffin Island, alder and birch remains are a hint at a warmer climate in 28,000 BC and remained active until about 15,000 BC.
Between 13,000 - 11,000 BC large numbers of warm blooded mammal species were instantly frozen in a zone from the Yukon into northern Siberia. This indicates a very curious anomaly as it was described that they were Instantly Frozen. Anyone who watched the movie Day After Tomorrow can appreciated the ferocity of that cataclysm.

It has been suggested that there was once a peaceful world-wide culture. If this is true then all of these cycles may well be various derivations or competing beliefs relating to a greater 'forgotten science'. I think it's fair to say that most people strive for some form of order and that's what the authorities give - or at least try, or pretend to try and give. It's possible that these various cycles are the best attempts by the greatest minds of all the surviving splintered cultures. Maybe the absolute truth has yet to be discovered; maybe it's about to be discovered.
Whatever the truth is, I'm of the belief that something huge is about to happen.
December 21, 2012, the day begins a new cycle.
So basically, 2112 is the end of a 26,000 year cycle.
Each zodiac cycle has 30 degrees, meaning that each cycle of an individual zodiac is 2,160 years.

There is also the 100,000,000 year blue star cycle.
Notice the time accelerated events after 98,000 bc? For 900,000 years, the reversals were like clockwork, but then the timeline halved to 45k, then on to ~11,000 year cycles after that.

s far as I've heard, there were a ton of ancient texts, scrolls, clay tablets, and other academia thousands of years ago, but the Crusades destroyed much of it. Much of what they knew back then is a mystery now. All that lost knowledge.....
We have also run into difficulties getting accurate carbon dating on many places/objects due to unknown nuclear activity. Radiation greatly alters the isotopes of organic matter (dead or alive) and throws a wrench into the carbonization dating process. So something that is actually 50,000 years old, after being dosed with radiation, would show up as being 25,000 years old, or some variant thereof. In retrospect, some C14 dates that we can honestly confirm, may in fact be twice as old as we think.

That would be a detectable change. Besides C14 is limited in how far it can go back. You might want to research the limits of C14 dating and add that to your book. There are many excellent scientific texts describing the limitations of dating methods. You might want to check them out.

Also, it is known that our planet usually has a 10,000 year period of warmth called the interglacial. Right now, we are about 12,000 years into this interglacial period, on it's way into another glaciation (just like clockwork).
In another thread I was reading through a link about a Boeing whistleblower about a vast and powerful magnetic anomaly that was found at the fringes of our solar system, with the capability of temporarily shutting down the sun.
