in a mountaintop cavern known as the cave of the apocalypse
saint john the theologian wrote the last book of the christian new testament the book of revelation
in the 12th chapter it describes a heavenly realm called the new jerusalem the book of revelation
talks about the unveiling of a new world and so there's the earthly jerusalem this is a new
jerusalem new jerusalem had 12 gates three facing north three facing south three facing east three
facing west one for each of the twelve tribes of israel this city also had measurements that were
multiples of 12. that's very interesting it connects with that divine 12 and then
the ability to divide 12 into four sets of three very practical number
while many take the book of revelation to be symbolic there is one curious aspect
which leads some to believe it was inspired by an otherworldly encounter
in revelation this city descends from out of the sky which leads the question
could the new jerusalem have been a mothership or a city that descends from the ship
if the book of revelation was inspired by an extraterrestrial event
one where john the theologian witnessed a spaceship descending to earth might this explain
how john had been taught about the new jerusalem and the cosmic importance of the number 12.
the word angel is used 12 times in the book of revelations most of the time these angels are
telling the future they are prophesying about some end time event in the jewish the christian
the muslim traditions there is this idea of the world to come that this world isn't the be-all
and end-all could it be that the revelation prophecy isn't about a physical event but rather
the ushering in of a new age for mankind and if so might the formation of the majestic 12 have set
humanity on a path towards what is referred to in the bible as the new jerusalem ancient astronaut
theorists say yes and suggest that according to traditions from the other side of the world
the time of revelation doesn't lie in the far future but is happening right now

thousands of people congregate at the ruins of tikal one of the largest archaeological sites of
the maya civilization that thrived in the area of central america for more than 2 000 years
the maya were known for being incredibly accurate
at tracking time by tracing the movement of celestial bodies
and it is on this exact day that the famous mayan long count calendar comes to an abrupt end
those gathered etikal and other important sites around the world
are anticipating some earth-changing events possibly even the end of the world
so the mayans had this prophecy what we would call 2012 and they were talking about
a coming new age or a coming new thing the best analogy i ever heard about the end of the mind
calendar was like it was an odometer it wasn't the end of the world it was the end of a system
and then the beginning of a new system
i find it quite fascinating that my calendar system contains this period of time 144 000 days
which again multiple of 12. so it's something very strange going on there you know with this
number 12 recurring was the end of the mayan calendar signaling not the end of the world
but a turning point for humankind as far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned
the answer is yes and if the number 12 is some kind of alien code it is profoundly linked
to everything from the formation of the majestic 12 to the events of 12 21 2012.
many people were expecting possibly some big cataclysm it was the end of the mayan
calendar but instead what happened in 2012 was a turning point in history
