12-21-2012 REVISITED
There have been several articles recently declaring that there is nothing significant about the Winter Solstice of 2012 or its importance within the Mayan calendar. The article below takes exception with that misinformation and sets the record straight. The fact that on 12-21-2012 the Winter Solstice occurs at exactly 11:11 UT is the only message I need.

"The early Maya astronomers who created the Long Count calendar some 2,100 years ago intended the end of the 13-baktun cycle of the Long Count (December 21, 2012) to target the alignment of the December solstice sun with the plane of our Milky Way galaxy."
