According to ancient calendars, the world as we know it ends in the year 2012. What are these prophecies and how reliable are they? How many cultures share the predictions? What modern science exists to back them up? What should we really expect in the year 2012? The answers to these questions can be found in this book, the most comprehensive guide available to the 2012 phenomenon.

Beyond 2012 Catastrophe or Awakening?
© By GEOFF STRAY

Over the last two thousand years, there have been literally dozens of proposed dates upon which the world was expected to end. Around 30 CE, Jesus is reported to have said “Judgement Day” would come within the lifetimes of his audience. This is the failed prophecy on which all the others were based.

However, for hundreds of years before this, the Hebrew people had a tradition of prophecy. Prophets such as Ezekiel and Daniel had predicted that one day the dead would come out of their graves. This concept is preserved in Christianity and Islam, who also expect a Day of Judgement, also known as Yawm al-Ba’th, the day of Rising From the Grave.

There is a lot of talk about 2012 being the latest predicted doom date. This one really stands out because all the others for the last 2,000 years have been based on the Bible, whereas this one comes primarily from the calendars and prophecies of the ancient Maya civilisation. If we can disconnect ourselves from our Judaeo-Christian mind-set, then we shall be better able to look at the subject without projecting those patterns onto it.

The Tortuguero Prophecy Unravelled
By Geoff Stray

We are both pleased and honoured to welcome Geoff Stray as March 2010 Author of the Month at grahamhancock.com. We hope his insights into the meaning and reality of 2012 spur discussion and understanding for those who explore his evidence and theories.

Geoff Stray has been studying the meaning of the year 2012 for over 25 years. In 2000 he summarised his findings on his website, "Diagnosis 2012", attracting international input and it still remains the largest data-base on 2012. Geoff is the author of Beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Ecstasy, published in the UK in 2005, in the United States in 2009 as Beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Awakening. The book is an overview of visions, calendars, prophecies and theories about 2012, and has been called "The Encyclopedia of 2012". He is also the author of The Mayan and Other Ancient Calendars, (2007) and 2012 In Your Pocket (2009) and has written articles for various magazines including HERA, Salvia Divinorum magazine, Caduceus, and New Dawn, and has contributed an essay to the best-selling book, The Mystery of 2012. Geoff has given talks in the UK, Europe, North and South America and Scandinavia and has appeared in documentaries such as 2012:The Odyssey; Timewave 2013; 2012 An Awakening; 2012-Mayan Prophesy and The Shift of the Ages. He lives in Glastonbury, UK, where he also makes handmade footwear.

THE TORTUGUERO PROPHECY UNRAVELLED

Before 2006, many anthropologists, archaeologists and other Maya scholars stated that there was nothing in the Maya inscriptions about the end of the current 5,125-year era of the Long Count calendar. They often did this as part of a dismissal of the increasing discussion about 2012. But in April 2006, epigrapher Dave Stuart answered an enquiry on a specialist discussion group announcing that there is one known inscription from the Classic era that mentions the end of the thirteenth baktun. [1] It is on Monument 6 from a little-known site called Tortuguero, in the state of Tabasco in Mexico. Many maps don't even show the site, or vary in their positioning of it.

Tortuguero was discovered in the 1915, but in 1978 and 1980, Prof. Dr Berthold Riese published studies on the inscriptions found there. The papers are in German. Since then, very little emerged until Sven Gronemeyer's master thesis of 2004 - also in German. [2], [3] An updated version was published in English in 2006. [4] A cement factory was built on top of the site in 1981, but a few ruins remain.
TORTUGUERO MONUMENT 6

Tortuguero's most famous artefact is the Tortuguero Box - a well-preserved carved wooden box inscribed with glyphs that describe, amongst other things, the burial of the Tortuguero ruler, Bahlam Ajaw (Lord Jaguar). Monument 6 is broken into seven parts, four of which are in the Villahermosa museum, not far from the Tortuguero site. Another part is in the Metropolitan Museum of New York, and two other fragments are thought to be in the hands of a private collector. The monument was originally a T-shaped stela, and one of the wings - the left one that starts the narrative - is missing. It is the other wing - the final part of the narrative - that refers to the end of the thirteenth baktun.
