stars on the endtime horizon
real-sky observations for 2012

i guess i began contemplating the 2012 endtime in the early 1970s, inspired by
the publication of mexico mystique by anthropologist frank waters. i had been
working with precession for some years, but tools and techniques were quite
primitive back in those days. i had no access to a computer, and there was not
yet a lot of fancy calculation in print, either on precession or mesoamerican
calendrics. anthony aveni's skywatchers of ancient mexico was not published
until six years later. in the next decade, the 1980s, archeoastronomy took off
famously, with many books appearing at once. it was a heady time to be on the
trail of ancient skylore.

it is worth noting that waters' book appeared in 1974, the inceptive moment of
the 1974-2012 interval centered on the nodal year, 1993. i have suggested that
this 38-year interval marks the generation uniquely what will navigate humanity
toward the maya endtime. 1974 signals the initial conditions for the global
perspective to emerge in the minds of that generation. those who initialize the
vision of planetary transformation (or whatever) in the 1970s will transmit it
to the younger members of the generation, those who live at the post-millennial
end of the interval. i believe that generational continuity is essential to the
viability and coherence of endtime visions.

the wave of interest in archeoastronomy, and its legitimization as a
scientific genre, falls neatly into the 1974-2012 interval. john michell's cult
classic, the view over atlantis, went up like a signal flare in 1969, calling
attention to sacred landscape and ley-lines. peter lancaster brown's megaliths,
myths and men, still the best overview of the subject, came out in 1976.
sky/ground mirroring and the stellar orientation of megalithic sites (e.g.
graham hancock, heaven's mirror) are recurrent topics of the endtime. from
megalithic astronomy we take instruction on the long view of civilization and
the millennial parameters of cultural evolution.
