Well, then, perhaps crossing the galactic plane—an event some say the Maya predicted anciently to occur in December 2012—will do us in? Not according to space scientists. As astronomer Bruce McClure of EarthSky.org points out, “No, earth will not pass through the galactic plane in 2012, contrary to what you might have heard. Earth won’t be physically passing through the plane of the Milky Way galaxy anytime in the near future” (EarthSky.org).
What Did The Maya (Not) Say?
As one examines the science behind the many claims of coming global devastation predicted by 2012-ologists, one consistently finds that science does not back up the claim.
It seems that if the ancient Maya predicted any sort of global or cosmic hubbub to occur in December 2012 they were a little off. But did this ancient people ever truly predict the things ascribed to them?
The evidence says very clearly that they did not.
