Editorial Reviews
Review
"5/5/2000 is an extraordinary treasury of knowledge, hard facts, brilliant intuition and formidable research. It has played a unique role in waking a generation up to the deep and abiding mystery of the human past -- and to the uncertainty of our future."
-- Graham Hancock, Author of Fingerprints of the Gods
"Noone's ground-breaking research is a startling wake-up call to everyone living on earth."
-- Dr. G. Patrick Flanagan, Author Pyramid Power
"Noone not only takes us along on his incredible journey, he does it with gentle humor, even when interviewing those who cannot hear or dare not entertain new ideas and evidence."
-- Elizabeth Hapgood, Author Tidal Wave in Our Time
"Richard Noone's painstaking investigation into the lost technology of the sophisticated builders of the Great Pyramid of Giza helps to unravel the mystery of this geodetic and astronomic wonder, answering questions as to who constructed it, when, how, and why. Noone's research also highlights the continued struggle of scholars against the pitted obscurantism of the local authorities who continue to block research into what must be considered the patrimony not only of Egypt but of humanity."
-- Peter Tompkins, Author Secrets of the Great Pyramid
"Noone has woven a number of unusual and seemingly disparate threads into a single, provocative, scholarly tapestry."
-- John Anthony West, Author Serpent in the Sky
"5/5/2000 is a timeless classic that has nurtured the spirit and imaginations of a whole generation of readers. It is a formidably informative and imaginative work that will leave you spellbound and awestruck with the realization that civilizations are indeed mortal and our foothold on this planet remains only at the pleasure of Mother Nature."
-- Christopher Dunn, Author The Giza Power Plant: Technologies of Ancient Egypt
"An extraordinary compendium of forgotten lore and lost knowledge."
-- Publishers Weekly
"It is my hope that every Mason will find time to read this brilliant new
book."
-- George L. Evoy, 33rd Degree General Secretary Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, Atlanta, GA
-- Graham Hancock, Author of Fingerprints of the Gods

From the Inside Flap
h a new, shocking Epilogue, this reissue of a cult classic explores Noone's prediction of impending doom--scheduled to occur on May 5, 2000, when Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will be aligned with Earth for the first time in 6,000 years, causing the polar ice caps to melt and submerge large areas of the Earth. Illustrations.

AWESOME BOOK
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2000
The planets were marching in single file, lined up and poised in united supplication before the Universal Office of Harmonic Convergences. This was going to be Planet Earth's biggest clearance sale yet.
But the promised ice deluge never came; however, we had at least hoped to see miracles on this day or the days following:
Like a video clip of levitating Nebraskan cattle and the farmer saying, "Nope, they ain't never done that b'fore."
Or to have seen the bare feet of Jesus walking across the dome of the world and the hem of his garment sweeping the constellations from the firmament and showers of shooting stars following in its wake!
Or to have seen a satellite photo showing the swirling of giant interlacing ocean tides whose rippling effects are forming letters in longitude-long foamy script. The letters would be written in an Aquatic Dialect that no one speaks, but the message is clear to all of us: "KNOCK IT OFF!" it says in Blue-Green GAIA Script.
Oh, how we longed for the Angels to come. To have them materialize at our evening tables in a breezy eddy of Atomic-Silver. To let them partake of Suburban meatloaf and Southwestern cuisine. To let our children raise their glasses of Gatorade in a playful toast. Jesus uncorks the wine from the wedding feast and Elijah reclines before an empty plate. Buddha has happy ears, longer and larger than ever.
The Pope addresses the masses gathered in St. Peter's Square. He tells them in eight different languages that Jesus has returned and sits in his office awaiting instructions. He tells them that Salvation will begin as soon as the paper work is completed.
But, alas, on May 5th and the days that followed, we in the Northern Hemisphere rolled out of bed and went to work and our sister shadows in the Southern did the same, except they stirred their coffee counterclockwise.

When I first bought this book I thought it would explain how and why the earth was supposed to have this cataclysmic event on 5/5/2000. This however is probably one of the least explained topics of the book. Most of the book deals with the pyramids and strange calculations of angles and such.
I think that the strategy of this book is too overload the reader with so much pieced together irrelevant information that they'll just accept his theory because they can't follow it. Mixed in with the pyramid talk are many mentions of Jesus and Freemasonary and how they relate somehow to the pyramid. One of my favorite parts is where he showed how the shroud of Turin image is on one of the walls in the pyramids. From a few splotches of dark and light on the walls, viewed from about 50 feet away with black and white picture which isn't focuesed on the image, one is supposed to see Jesus. Absolutely ridiculous. Also, many topics are delved into but never explained, such as how Masonic teaching are related to the pyramid. The overall question is "Could it be that..." with no underlying proof. Additionally, the writing style of mixed naration with interviews of questionable "experts" interjected inbetween is bad and difficult to follow.
The plot is something along the lines of: the earth will end on 5/5/2000 because of a polar shift; this fact is revealed through the great pyramid, in fact that is why the pyramid was built; the masons know this and control the world; the pyramid also is based around Jesus somehow; the pyramid could also have been a giant battery or something else; there are a bunch of people in Stelle, IL who will launch a spaceship to save themselves from the event on 5/5/2000.

Despite presenting a great deal of interesting information on the
pyramids of Egypt, Noone's work fails completely in supporting its
main argument: that a destruction of civilization caused by the
melting and shifting of the polar icecaps will result from the
gravitational pull of all the other planets as they align on the
opposite side of the sun on 5/5/2000. Although this reader welcomes
challenges to the dominant academic paradigm, these challenges must
find support in scientific principle, not in wild speculation that
leads to easily discredited pseudo-science. Noone supports his
apocalyptic vision with spotty evidence that disregard's Isaac
Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation: objects attract each other with
a force that is varied by the density of their masses and that is
diminished by the square of their respective distances. DIMINISHED BY
THE SQUARE OF THEIR DISTANCE! Thus a large Jupiter on the other side
of the sun, and all the other planets to boot, cannot affect us nearly
as much as our own nearby little moon. Noone ignored both Newton and
Einstein's Relativity Theory is forming his "special" theory
which very recently was proven very wrong. The wrong date wasn't
Noone's problem, bad science was.
