Where did we humans really come from? Did our ancestors voyage here from a far-off galaxy? Could all records of that ancient pilgrimage be lost? Are we unintentionally attempting to return to our spawning grounds with our space programs as the first step? The human being is an arrogant species that must have the answer to all questions, and if we do not have them we invent them. From man's earliest days he invented numerous gods to satisfy his curiosity, gods to grant his wishes and gods to protect him from nature's fury. But what is about to be put upon us may be so powerful that no amount of gods will be able to stop it. The date is underlined; the clock is ticking - set for 12/21/2012.

Religious or non-religious, you'll want to read this book.,
By K. Trout "Kaye" (Pagosa Springs, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 2012 - Year of the Apocalypse: The Destruction and Resurrection of Earth (Paperback)
2012 Year of the Apocalypse
The Destruction and Resurrection of Earth Edward Arnold Outskirts Press 10940 S. Parker Rd - 515, Denver, CO, USA ISBN: 1598002023, $16.95, 124 pp, 2005 Edward Arnold presents, in a very compact manner, documentation and research for you to consider in forming your own opinions regarding the subject matter which includes: alien visitations and abduction; the Dropa Stones-a Chinese alien-human encounter; crop circles; the Greys-an alien life form; the Nordics-humanoids almost identical to humans; intergalactic travel-in bending time, you reduce the distance light must travel; the birth of man-evolutionists vs creationists; Penal Colony Earth-a possible answer for our predilection for war; religious myths--gods and goddesses-since the beginning of man; who and what was Jesus; Tammuz, the Son of God, 2,000 years BC; and finally, historical and astronomical support for why this book was written . . . 2012 Year of the Apocalypse. From the historical perspective, allow me to quote: "The Mayans began counting time as of August 31, 3114 B.C., more than 5,000 years ago. . . . Mayan mathematicians could project their calendar millions of years into the past and into the future; time had no beginning, no end. Their projection of events that they foresaw has all but been realized, from world wars and the development of weapons that could destroy the world to Mother Nature's fury of cataclysmic events. They predicted the eruption of Mount St. Helens more that 1,500 years before it happened, and they got it exact-right down to the years, month, and day. Long ago, they put a large check mark on the calendar, a pointer is aimed at what they called the "End Date." . . . It is so significant that the calendar just comes to an abrupt stop-it ends on the date December 21, 2012." From the astronomical perspective, allow me to paraphrase: Our Milky Way Galaxy is 100,000 light years across and all the stars and planets spiral around the Galactic Center. It takes our solar system 250 million years traveling at a speed of 500,000 miles per hour to circle the center. Our solar system finds its way into the center of the Milky Way every 26,000 years, then moves back out. "We began approaching the outer edges of the "eye" in 2004 and at sunrise on December 21, 2012, for the first time in 26,000 years, our little solar system, our sun and ten planets and all of our moons will once again enter the center rift of the Milky Way. . . . The result could be a cleansing of earth and the destruction of everything that dwells upon it." The author writes: "Some of the Mayan elders believed that after the destruction is over and 2013 arrives, we will enter into a whole new age and into a whole new cycle. So, do not fret, the end-date of 2012 does not signal the end of time and the destruction of the world; more so, it means the beginning of a new stage in the development of human consciousness." This book will certainly hold your attention, light up some brain cells, and possibly inspire you to move to higher ground. It got me thinking about what I might want to be doing during the next six years, and I was delighted to find the answer to be . . . just what I'm doing. I would not want to survive such worldwide destruction, as I know I could not withhold food and water from other people. On the positive side, it would be an amazing experience. I may end up in my energy-efficient, passive solar home at 7,000 feet above sea level with ocean-front property, and now I have to decide . . . what kind of boat to buy. The strength of Mr. Arnold's convictions comes through clearly: the importance of using your imagination and questioning everything. The book 2012 Year of the Apocalypse is a well- written, informative book to challenge you to think for yourself. It's a keeper in my library of first editions and lucky me, it's signed.

A DiaGnosis2012 review,
By
This review is from: 2012 - Year of the Apocalypse: The Destruction and Resurrection of Earth (Paperback)
Edward Arnold's book, 2012 - Year of the Apocalypse - The Destruction and resurrection of Earth, by Edward Arnold, seemed like it might be interesting. It is 124 pages long, with no pictures. It gives a brief history of UFOs, alien abduction, the Chinese Dropa stones, crop circles, the Greys and Nordics, Gods, Jesus, Tammuz, and it eventually gets around to mentioning 2012 on page 99. As soon as the Maya are mentioned the errors start. The start-date is given as "August 31, 3114 BC" instead of August 13th, which would still be incorrect, as the end-date of 21st December 2012 is given, which applies to the other start-date of 11th August 3114 BC. Arnold also confuses the Calendar Round and the Long Count (P.98-99) and says "This calendar is not like the one we know today, but we did acquire ours from them".
No, Mr.Arnold, we didn't get our calendar from the Maya! This mistake is inexcusable. Arnold goes on to totally misunderstand Galactic Alignment, saying that "During our 250 million year journey around the Galactic Center, our solar system finds its way into the center of the Milky way every 26,000 years, then shortly moves back out." (p.102). Arnold goes on to describe the solar system entering the Dark Rift! (and repeats it on p. 109).I am so gobsmacked at this display of ignorance that I'm beginning to think these books (see item 209 above) are part of a disinformation campaign to pour ridicule on this subject. Arnold goes on to bring in Arguelles' "galactic synchronisation", "which is a solar event. That is why the Maya talk about the coming Solar Age". He also says the sun will go super-nova in 2.5 million years, rather than 4.5 billion, that there were mammoths in Antarctica, and starts talking about Sodom and Gomarrah and "evildoers" being cleansed from the Earth. He says we "can find all we need without lowering ourselves to the ways of heathens and pagans by praying and making ourselves subservient to gods." (p.120). He praises his training in the Marines, which encouraged recruits to leave behind any thoughts of God, and then starts quoting from "the scriptures".(p.120-121). In some ways, this book is even more nauseating than the Ark of Millions of Years Vol.2.

A Must Read,

This review is from: 2012 - Year of the Apocalypse: The Destruction and Resurrection of Earth (Paperback)
Mr. Arnold has really done his homework on this one. I have read about the Mayan calendar for many years - that it ends in 2012 - but this is the first book that explains exactly why, giving the astronomical and scientific reasons for the Mayans' deductions, and even why the reasons have been so difficult to find. This book is filled with interesting and valuable facts and figures. It may upset those who have a "mob-mind," but it will be welcomed by every open-minded person in search of truth.
I highly recommend this book.
