Well, actually, it was a good investigation, although it is basically trying to be pretty entertaining and it's obvious. They basically concluded the Georgia Guidestones were nothing sinister and that there was no evidence of anything to worry about, really. However, in the process, they did talk to some astro-scientist about the sun and he did say that larger than normal solar flares would be happening in 2012. Basically, the people who claim the world is going to be massively changed and many lives lost say that it will be a natural event, somehow caused by the sun and the earth, with both coasts sinking into the ocean. As a NYer, I will be drowned in a year from now according to this theory, which would suck.
Not TERRIBLY worried about this, but actually, I would prefer to be out of NY around mid-December straight through Jan 5th or so just in case. Would be a horrible way to die, really. I doubt I could go peacefully and not be thrown into a crappy rebirth under such circumstances.
Just found this:
"The Tibetan calendar is so similar to the Mayan that traditional scholars now speculate that they share a common origin."

...any truth to this? Or just someone taking huge liberties to try to tie everything together?
I know that you're no Samael Aun Weor fan, however you might be interested in some of the many things he taught about regarding the topics you're referring to here i.e. the Mayan-Tibetan connection and the endtimes prophecies of this cycle related to the Mayan Calendar.
Just for quick reference, Samael Aun Weor wrote that the actual physical destruction of this earthly cycle is related to the Katun of the Mayan Calendar sometime between 2040 and 2500.
The earlier years mentioned such as 1999, 2000, 2001, 2012, etc. are from what I understand closer to the Baktun (December 21 2012) which are merely leading up to the Katun cycle, the latter being the time of the actual destruction. So for 2012 (Baktun), most likely no major destruction, etc. However from what I also understand, there actually will be much physical conflagration and destruction on this planet at the turn of the Katun somewhere between 2040 and 2500 A.D.
(I've also noticed that you've mentioned "the Rosicrucians" and the Georgia guidestones. As a sidenote Samael Aun Weor wrote that the 'A.M.O.R.C.' are pseudo-Rosicrucians, and that the actual real Rosicrucians no longer operate in the physical world under that name, let alone give lessons and/or initiations by mail-correspondence. If any of this means anything to you. Not sure if the Georgia guidestones have any connection to Rosicrucians, pseudo or otherwise, as I don't know very much about them. I do think that the teachings of Eliphas Levi, Rudolf Steiner, Arnold Krumm-Heller (Huiracocha), Franz Hartmann, Dion Fortune, Max Heindel, Manly P. Hall, Samael Aun Weor, and maybe even Paul Foster Case, do have a connection to the actual Rosicrucians. Whereas Papus, Aleister Crowley, and Spencer Lewis, on the other hand, not so much.)

Are there any Buddhist scriptures that mention the Precession of the Equinoxes?
