| Notes | Publisher description: End of Time by Adrian Gilbert, bestselling author of THE ORION MYSTERY and THE MAYAN PROPHECIES. According to the ancient Maya we are fast approaching the end of the preset age. On 22 December 2012, the Mayan Long Count calendar will click round to zero for the first time in over 5,000 years. There is a huge and growing expectation that the ending of the Mayan calendar will be a watershed and there are predictions of natural disasters and the end of the world. What will this mean for us? Are we about to witness the realisation of their prophecies of an apocalyptic cataclysm? Is the observed reversal of the earth's magnetic field the mechanism driving changes in our weather patterns? In this extraordinary work of detection, Adrian Gilbert answers these questions and takes the subject much further. Investigating the latest discoveries in Mayanology and using modern technology to trace the movement of the skies through thousands of years. Gilbert shows how the Mayan calendar was based on a profound knowledge of astronomy and reveals how the Maya calculated the exact date of an astronomical event that would take place over 5,000 years ahead of their calendrical start-date. Unlike other academic studies on the subject, this book is written in the form of a personal adventure quest and presented in an easy-to-read format. |
