Apocalypse 2012: A Scientific Investigation into Civilization's End

by: Lawrence E. Joseph

Amazon Price: (as of 02/18/2012)

From Publishers Weekly
In New Age circles, the idea that some sort of world-spanning cataclysmic event will take place in December 2012 has been gaining traction for years, thanks largely to the calculations of ancient Mayan astronomers who pegged that moment as the end of a cycle of eons. Joseph uses that prophecy as a starting point, but claims that his interest lies in more substantial scientific threats to the planet-including cracks in Earth's magnetic field, the eruption of supervolcanoes and flareups of sunspot radiation. On the other hand, he also gives credence to planetary alignments and The Bible Code before veering into a rant about how the real problem is Christian fundamentalists who want to manipulate the Middle East into Armageddon. When he sticks to science journalism, Joseph is a lively tour guide, introducing readers to Mayan shamans and Russian scientists with equal aplomb. But when he encourages readers to start praying they survive the coming apocalypse, he comes off as exactly the sort of crackpot he claims to eschew. Still, there's less kookery than in other 2012 books, making Joseph a reasonably straightforward guide to the theory.

Amazon Price: $26.94 (as of 02/18/2012)

The year famously red-flagged by the Maya has popped up in many other end-of-the-world prophecies. Could we be so short time away from annihilation? Decide for yourself after viewing this DVD ***A surprising number of sources, both ancient and modern, agree when the world will end ***On-site investigations and revealing dramatizations flesh out the sobering prophecy ***Respected scholars offer balanced analysis of doomsday predictions ***Common wisdom has it we prepare for our future by understanding our past. But did the ancient prophets already know the future? Are we living now in the world they predicted? In this enlightening and often unsettling series, THE HISTORY CHANNEL® revisits the prophecies and divinations of the Ancients and traces them to the modern events they may have been predicting. But what if we have no future? What if life on Earth is destined to end in 2012? A surprising number of prophets - from ancient oracles to contemporary internet-crawling software "bots" - point to December 21, 2012 as the End of Days. Could the concentration on this date be merely coincidence, or is there something deeper behind it? DOOMSDAY 2012: THE END OF DAYS undertakes a sweeping examination of these fateful forecasts. During this hour, consider the ancient Mayan Calendar, the medieval predictions of Merlin, the Book of Revelation and the Chinese oracle of the I Ching, all highlighting the same terminal date. Then learn of a new technology - a web-bot crawling the internet to predict the future - that has independently concluded there's no need to plan a New Year's 2013 Party. Hear from skeptics who point to a long history of "Failed Doomsdays;" then reflect on the disturbingly accurate track-record of many oracles of doom throughout history. As the year 2012 ticks ever closer is there any reason to believe these doomsayers?

Maya Cosmogenesis 2012: The True Meaning of the Maya Calendar End-Date

by: John Major Jenkins, Terence McKenna

Amazon Price: $8.25 (as of 02/18/2012)

Is Earth approaching cosmogenesis, and does ancient Maya science and religion hold messages to aid us in this era of transformation? Author John Major Jenkins believes that indeed the precession of the equinoxes, as it was understood by the Maya, will be the formative influence of evolving life on Earth: "Being the culmination of an ages-long quest for understanding the nature of time, Maya cosmological insights are reminding us that the Zero Time is upon us."
Jenkins beings his thorough and comprehensible account of Maya cosmology by delving back 13,000 years into human history to the origins of Mesoamerican civilization. Logically he progresses through this Mesoamerican timeline to reach Maya civilization at its height of power and wisdom.
