Yea, I understand that the calls for Armageddon are over the top. The thing I find interesting is that the Mayans actually knew the exact date that the sun, earth and the center of the galaxy line up, which is supposed to be in 2012. Doesn't that make you wonder how a civilization not supposed to be so advanced actually figured out what a galaxy was and where its center was located before the telescope was invented in the Western World? Maybe they had telescopes before, but then lost the technology during some dark ages.

According to some astronomers, this alignment of sun, earth and the black hole at the center of the galaxy leads to an increase in sun spots.
