WELL WRITTEN, BEAUTIFUL BOOK,
By
This review is from: The Mayan Prophecies: Unlocking the Secrets of a Lost Civilisation (Paperback)
This well written, very readable book is the most compelling I have read on the mythology, religion and what is known of the history of the Maya. I'm not much into mathematics or arithmetic but found the ideas very interesting, especially as related to nature (the cross motif from the skin of the rattlesnake and the sun-spot cycles). Not everything here is new, Von Daniken already popularised some of these concepts two decades ago - but it is cohesively presented in the right context with a wealth of figures, maps, and the most beautiful colour plates. It makes a worthy contribution to the terrain that Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval etc, are bringing to light. Extensive appendices, a glossary, bibliography and index ensure this will remain a valuable reference work for years to come. As for 2012, I don't believe in scaremongering (many books claimed that Nostradamus predicted a world war for 1999) so I am content to believe that date will signal a change (improvement) in consciousness.

Incredible,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mayan Prophecies: Unlocking the Secrets of a Lost Civilisation (Paperback)
I knew very little about the Mayan people or the history of South America, nor in fact the influence of the sun and in fact the total control that mother nature has upon the earthe and human race. This book has me addicted. Although the book is very complex in certain areas the authors have done a very good job of simplyfying what must be have taken a very long and hard time to work out. My thanks goes to the authors for opening my eyes, and for writing such an incredible book.My next vacation will be to visit one by one all the places that are mentioned in the book, not only in South America but also Egypt. Keep up the good work.
