Question
HI, I am just wondering what if we even have a clue happened 25,800 years prior to the year 2012? Just wondering!

Answer
David, that crazy "2012" movie, etc, is just a bunch of hooey.  We do know some things about prehistory,, however.  Let's see... 23,768 B.C. was in the late Pleistocene!

So we know some things about the biology of that era.  Astronomically, today we know things with a lot of precision, so we could calculate where all the planets were, etc, at that year.  That is a remote enough time in the past that the stars would even have been in perceptibly different positions than they are today, although most of the constellations would be roughly recognizable to someone from our time, if he or she went back in a time machine.

But all this business about wave harmonics of history, and telepathically received Mayan prophecies, etc, is just total, total, absolute, complete insanity.

Keep Looking Up!
