From snopes:

December 2012, an event which takes place only once in 2,800 years.

Stars shsmars, we do live in interesting times.

So many in our world are living heinously. Karma has to catch up imho

Orion is only visible in the winter. To align with the pyramids, it would have to be when it was either rising and setting. So did the Egyptians didn't work on these things during the day. They only worked on them at night. Did they use torches to see? Torches that reach up high? They worked on them less than an hour at night and only during the winter.

If only we knew what the pyramid ppl knew.

I read Pyramid Code years ago. I think it is part of the story. interestingly, science is beginning to prove some merit to metaphysics using digital technoloty to measure stuff.

that a location on the Equator would not have the three planets rising/setting in near-vertical alignment. Their orbits all lie very near the ecliptic, you know.
