Maya Perspectives on the date December 21, 2012

(a site maintained by Dr. Robert Sitler that presents Maya Perspectives on the date December 21, 2012. Dr. Robert Sitler is a Professor of Modern Languages & Literatures at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida where he also serves as Director of its Latin American Studies program.)


Note: The information presented here does not reflect any point of view of the Institute of Maya Studies, but is Jim Reed’s alone. Jim Reed admits that his information presented here does reflect the points of view of John Major Jenkins (who has been a close friend of his for more than 12 years). If reading John’s Maya Cosmogenesis 2012, you may notice that the poem “One Hunahpu” at the beginning of the book is dedicated to Jim. The book was originally published in 1998.

What is so difficult to comprehend is that modern scholars and archaeoastronomers have not come to any consensus of the “truth” behind the 2012 phenomena. You are encouraged to investigate all aspects of 2102 for yourselves and explore opposing and contrary points of view.

Below are a few links that do present alternative points of view:
