Summary: improve your new-age knowledge reading about Mayan
Comment: 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 -

Summary: A Quantum Leap in the understanding of the Mayan Mythology
Comment: 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 --

Summary: Nonsense
Comment: This book is about coincidences. The authors notice a similarity between certain large numbers in the Maya calendar cycle and their own astrological theories about sunspot cycles. The numbers don't match, but from this "coincidence" the authors conclude that the Maya warned of a cosmic disaster for the year 2012.
The book could have stopped there, but instead it digresses into a personal log of the authors' visits to Mexico, then revisits old material on transatlantic contact, Atlantis mythology, Edgar Cayce, Velikovsky, etc. Some of the historical material about Mexico is interesting and well written, but is clearly taken from other sources.
Some of the claims are bizarre, such as that the crystal "skull of doom" was used as a magnifying glass in a fire ceremony. Or that the "loops" on the Palenque sarcophagus represent magnetic field lines on the sun, something the Maya couldn't possibly have known about.
The authors' contempt for those with other points of view is pervasive. He derides Von Daniken, astrologists, and professional archaeologists all at the same time.
The sloppiness about numbers is disappointing, especially since the authors' entire case rests on numbers. They cite a "remarkable correlation" between the dates given for the great flood by Plato (9500 B.C), Cayce (10,500 B.C.), and the Maya (11,205 B.C.) These dates differ by over 1700 years, a variation of 15% relative to the present day. Considering that one of the authors claims to be an engineer and a scientist, this is inexcusable.
The Maya civilization is a fascinating and impressive one, and no doubt there is much wisdom we have yet to learn from them. You won't find it in this book.
