Dexter Rigsby wrote an article last week in the Guardian of June 3 with
the headline, "Surviving the 2012 threat to humanity''. His article
began: "Most people are becoming aware of a possible doomsday anomaly
said to occur on or around December 21, 2012, when, according to
scholars, two-thirds of mankind can be eliminated."
Were I to own a newspaper it would have been on the front page because I
truly believe that his article will soon be proven to have no parallel
in importance at this time. In fact, my new book, The End of this Era. A
linkage between Science and Religion, predictably the last of the eight
which I have authored, is by far the most important of all I have ever
written. It is largely based on the great Mayan prophecy.
Long before the birth of Christ, the central and southern regions of
Mexico were inhabited by peoples who had reached a high degree of
civilisation. They were first the Olmecs from about 2000 BC to 200 AD
then the ancient Maya civilisation which reached its peak around 300-800
AD. They were justifiably regarded as the greatest ancient civilisation
to have risen in the New World and were gifted with an inexplicably
advanced state of mathematical and astro-calendrical knowledge without
the use of telescopes or any of the modern scientific instruments of
today's civilisation. When I became acquainted with the Mayan
intelligence, I once spent several hours in the historical and
anthropological museums in Mexico City studying the history of the
ancient peoples of that region, their writings, customs and architecture.
Zero, for example, was used by the Mayans 900 years before the Arabs
introduced it in Europe. The Gregorian calendar, as another example, was
introduced in Europe in 1582 and was based on the best scientific
knowledge available at that time. This, in fact, is still the most
widely used calendar in the world today. It replaced the Julian calendar
which was previously introduced by Julius Caesar in 46 BC.
More recently, scientific advances have given the length of the solar
year to be 365.2422 days but strangely and inexplicably enough, the
Mayan calendar (between 300 and 800 AD) had previously achieved even
greater accuracy and had calculated the solar year to be 365.2420 days,
a minor error of only 0.0002 of a day. They also calculated the length
of the lunar month to be 29.53029 days, which is only within 30 seconds
of what we now know to be its actual length of 29.53059 days! But from
where came this genius?
Now, according to the Mayans, the universe operated in great cycles of
approximately five years and their own civilisation was said to be in
the fifth cycle. The four other civilisations before them were destroyed
by great natural disasters. This, the era of the fifth cycle in which we
are now in, they calculated to end by another major cataclysm in the
winter solstice of December 21, 2012, after which the sixth cycle will
begin.
The Mayans and Aztecs were sun worshippers as they realised that without
the sun, life could not be sustained on planet Earth. But the sun is
anything but a smooth round ball of fire. Close up, it is a raging
nuclear furnace. First discovered by Galileo in the 16th century,
sunspots are larger-than-earth magnetic storms that blemish the solar
surface and they can unleash as much energy as 10 billion hydrogen
bombs. The world's astronomers have no idea why they occur and in
roughly 11-year cycles, which is the usual amount of time from one
so-called "solar maximum" (the greatest number of sunspots) to the next.
Significantly, very significantly, the next maximum solar flares are
calculated to start in 2011 and peak in the year 2012. Their ejections
can travel millions of miles into the interplanetary space and can cause
very serious disruptions of satellite (including banking and military),
radio and electronic communications. There are also scientists who
believe that seismic events, earthquakes, volcanoes and hurricanes are
triggered by sharp fluctuations in sunspot activity and also that
certain planetary configurations and alignments have a powerful
influence on the sun.
Indeed, the great wave of hurricanes (Katrina, Rita and Wilma) coincided
with one of the stormiest events in the recorded history of the sun. One
prominent Russian scientist has declared that the sun's peculiar
behaviour today is unlike anything we have seen since the ending of the
last ice age of 11,000 years ago and many solar physicists concur that
the Sun's solar activity will peak at record-breaking levels in 2012.
The great English researcher and author Graham Hancock wrote about his
research on the Mayans and Aztecs and said: "My research has convinced
me that there was an advanced civilisation long long ago that was
destroyed in a terrible cataclysm. I fear that our own civilisation may
be destroyed by a similar cataclysm. When human beings from around the
globe, and from many different cultures, share a powerful and
overwhelming intuition that a cataclysm is approaching, we are within
our rights to ignore them. However, it would be foolish to disregard
what they seem to be saying.
"And what they seem to be saying to us is that cyclical, recurrent and
near-total destructions of mankind are part and parcel of life on this
planet, that such destructions have occurred many times before and that
they will certainly occur again. Scholars normally attribute these myths
to the fantasies of ancient poets. But what if the scholars are wrong?"
But maximum solar flares are not the major threat to planet Earth.
