Vedic Time Cycles and the Epoch of 3102 B.C.

Many people today are contemplating the likelihood of a coming 'Planet X' event. Most are working from the commonly accepted construct of a series of cataclysmic events on earth that happen every 3,600 years. This timetable was made popular by Zecharia Sitchin, who concluded that the Sumerians documented a massive unseen planetary object whose cyclical return intervals of 3,600 years bring it into contact with the earth's atmosphere or magnetosphere. Tree rings and ice cores support the notion that every 3,600 years, there has been a climatic upheaval on the planet.

Many are looking to the various End Times prophecies for confirmation that 2012 is the year of the next big cataclysm and not surprisingly, there are many prophecies that fit the scenario. But there are also many errors put forward in assumptions that are presented as absolutes. One of these is the now common reference to the Vedic 'end times' prophecy of the appearance of Kalki Avatar.

Several documents are being widely circulated on the Net that suggest Kalki Avatar is scheduled to appear in 2012, and this is proof that the Vedic scriptures also acknowledge the 2012 End Times scenario. But this is completely wrong.
