Except that according to this link:
http://www.levity.com/eschaton/Why2012.html given on the other thread, the date the sun passes through the crossings of the ecliptic and galactic equator
coincides with the winter solstice. And apparently this is a rare event.
Can anyone confirm this?
Of course, that doesn't mean anything will happen that day. But if the Maya managed to predict this then they must have known about the precession. Which is interesting.
