improve your new-age knowledge reading about Mayan

This book is a valuable work in the understanding of the ancient mayan civilization. Gilbert and Cotterell starts from few fragments which weren't destroyed by Spanish "conquests", and give an interpretation about the Stone of Palenque. Goin' trough the outrageous mayan numeric system, and their practical applications like calender and astronomy, this book drives the reader to discover how Mayans was so scientifically and spiritually advanced. Applying mayan timing mode to modern sunspots observations, and the studies about the solar magnetic fields and its interactions with our planet, they give an alternative key to redesign human development, myths and Astrology. The conclusion is outrageous : Mayans knew many things more than we, when they preview that the world we live today it is about to change. This will occur at the end of 2012. If you want to add some ancient wisdom of the Mayans to your knowledge, don't hesitate to read this book. -Peace and love to everyone -

A Quantum Leap in the understanding of the Mayan Mythology

Without question there are unknowns regarding the origins, spirituality and disappearance of the Mayan civlilization. What record thereof not destroyed by Spanish conquerers has mostly been locked away from public evaluation by fear-ridden western scholars, still clinging to the Christian based perspective that the Mayans, as well as other spiritually advanced civilizations, were simply barbaric. In The Mayan Prophecies, Gilbert and Cotterell use what I would call anthropological probability theory to synthesize the tremendous amount of abstract information to decode the complex Mayan cosmology. Did the Mayans communicate with the Gods? Did the entire civilization die or simply transcend dimensions? Did they leave behind a message to inform us "blinded ones" us of the dawn of a new age? While remaining relatively objective, Gilbert and Cotterrell, apply recent scientific discoveries in astrogenetics and sunspot cycles with ancient myths and astrology, to! ! draw the reader to several possible answers to these questions. Although scientifically inconclusive, these speculations indicate a very strong probability that the Mayans knew something that we don't, and that the world as we know it is about to change. If you are at all interested in applying the ancient wisdom of the Mayans to your data-base of knowledge concerning the new-age energetic (or if you just want to read a cool book) I would highly recommend The Mayan Prophecies. --Peace and love to those on the search --

Informative, mind-opening, exciting, and very fascinating.

It took awhile to read this book due to the math involved and the astronomy that I am not real knowledgeable about but their explanation of the Mayan calendar, theories, and the history they spelled out in this book were quite the eye-opener for me. It opened my mind and thoughts to a whole new world that is so much more realistic than I could have believed a few years ago. Excellent book! I learned alot from it and it sent my interests whirling!! What a truly awesome concept. Can't wait for their next book.

Don't Neglect The American Pyramids!

The Maya predicted that the present world will end on December 22, 2012. They did this by an analysis of sunspot cycles, so say the authors. Actual solar radiation cycles coincide perfectly with the 'double' calendrical system of the Mayan. When the cycles arrive at "top-dead-center" then the radiation is so great that it affects peoples personalities as well as the planet itself. This presentation gets VERY intense. Architecturally, the Mayan pyramids and temples make an interesting contrast to their Egyptian counterparts. In fact they are so different that who would ever suspect that they might share a common ancestry.
