The real reason i made this thread, are all these claims just mysticism, or is there really some significant astro event occuring in 2012?
To the Mayans maybe, the end of the long count for their calender ends on the winter solstice, Dec 21st 2012.
Following the movement of the sky was their way of tracking time through the ages and they did a pretty fair job of it too for ancient eyeballers.
The date is a period ending, not a world ending date.

This link http://www.levity.com/eschaton/Why2012.html has a few charts for that day with reference to the position of the sun and a connection to their folklore.
Maybe someone can run the date with the location for the Yucatan peninsula through Sky to check it
