Synopsis
Is the world going to end in 2012? The Mayan astronomers, some 2,000 years ago, were the first to pinpoint December 21 in the year 2012 as the time when a new era in human history would begin. On that date, modern astronomers now predict, the view from Earth of the centre of the Milky Way will be eclipsed. And the year 2012 has been discovered to be deeply woven in other ancient texts, from the I Ching to the Book of Genesis. Add to that the growing number of scenarios thrown up by modern science in the context of climate change, from the loss of the earth's magnetic field to the emergence of super-volcanoes, and our existence has never looked more precarious. Countless websites and message boards buzz with the exchange of theories and views on the subject. In this very personal book, Jonathan Cainer, the UK's leading astrologer, looks at what the Mayans understood when they plotted their calendar, whether 2012 represents not the end of the world, but rather the end of this time as we understand it, and what this will mean for us. The End of Time is intended to be affirmative whilst at the same time reminding us of this fragile earth and the importance of treating it with care.Cain
