About the book: 2004 / As the prophecies of the ancient Mayans predict, the end of the world will come in 2012. According to their calculations, we live in the last, fifth solar era - Jaguar. And the inevitable end will follow... But is it worth trusting such tragic and outdated predictions? The famous explorer of the unknown, Maurice Cottrell, considers them almost as valid and reliable as the laws of mathematics. His argument is confirmed by the fact that the ancient Mayans, who lived more than 1000 years ago in the impenetrable jungles of Central America, had unique knowledge in literally all areas of science, according to depth superior to modern ones. And no matter how fantastic it may look, so far all the Mayan predictions have come true... The study of the phenomenon of hyper-enlightenment of the Mayans and other ancient peoples leads Cottrell to the only possible conclusion about the periodic visits to our planet by the Supergods.
