Charlatan's Math. Stick to Archeology Mr. Geryl, October 15, 2006
This review is from: The World Cataclysm in 2012: The Maya Countdown to the End of Our World (Paperback)
The historical background of the book is very interesting but I consider the "math" inside an insult.
My advice to the author: stay away from math, seriously, your knowledge of arithmetic leaves much to be desired.
My advice to the potential buyer: read the following paragraph and decide if you still want to buy it
On pages 74/75 he takes three numbers 365.25, 365 and 360 and multiplies them twice by 0.666666666
Later on page 79 he starts again with the same three numbers but now he multiplies them once by 11520
Finally on the next page he divides the latter three results by the former ones and he finds himself SHOCKED to find they all yield the same result: 25920
NO KIDDING! ...Pitiful.
Take ANY number X and multiply it Twice by 0.66666666 you get (0.44444444)X
Take the same X number and multiply it by 11520 you get (11520)X
If you divide the latter by the former THE X's CANCEL EACH OTHER and you end up with (11520)/(0.44444444) which will ALWAYS yield 25920 regardless of the number you start with.
Yet the astonished words from the author are: "The identical result of these calculations is the precession number, which made me break out in cold sweat"
Mr Geryl please stick to Archeology and find the labyrinth.

Time is Short, April 25, 2007
This review is from: The World Cataclysm in 2012: The Maya Countdown to the End of Our World (Paperback)
World Cataclysm in 2012 is the second in the series of three books by
Patrick Geryl about his discoveries using cartography, astronomy, and
mathematics to decipher the codes left by the ancient Egyptians and
Mayans. His findings: the Altanteans, Egyptians, and Mayans were all
trying to warn us of a coming world cataclysm of devastating proportions,
a crustal pole shift that would destroy civilization.
This book documents Patrick Geryl's research in which he shows:
1)An interpretation of the Isis-Osiris legend to be the story of the
previous pole shift in 9792 B.C.,
2)Why the pyramids of Gizeh were placed, and the relationship between the
pyramids, Orion's belt, and the next pole shift, and why the Sphinx was
built,
3)How the Atlantean, Egyptian, and Mayan civilizations were linked and
why they were all saying the same thing,
4)The incredibly precise number system of the Egyptians and Mayans and
the number codes contained in ancient writings and hieroglyphs that can
only just now be deciphered and what they tell,
5)The real meaning of 666, the number of Apocalypse, and where it came
from,
6)The Sun and the relationship between sunspot activity and magnetism,
and how the ancients developed number systems that precisely calculated
the cycles of pole shift,
7)Why there are no records of previous civilizations that existed before
the last pole shift,
8)Why polarities in magma show sudden changes in the location of the
magnetic North Pole,
9)Why the Zodiacal procession was disrupted and did not follow in
sequence in ancient times.
Patrick includes his breaking of the numerical codes and extensive
calculations to show how the Egyptians and Mayans used incredibly precise
number systems that we are just now reaching the point of being able to
decipher, and why these numbers that were written in stone in the sacred
temples were left behind: to warn future generations of the time of the coming pole shift.
If the author is correct, then this series of books
contains one of the most important messages for the planet and for
humanity's future. If you are interested in what happened to Atlantis,
the mystery of the pyramids, pre-history, Meso-America, survivalism,
Earth changes, prediction and prophesy, and what will happen in 2012,
this book fills in many of the missing pieces of the big puzzle.
