The Mayan Prophecies : Unlocking the Secrets of a… de Adrian Gilbert
This book was a little difficult to get through. It was very interesting, but a lot of the stuff was way over my head. He talks a lot about the math and physics behind the mayan thinking and he lays it all out step by step, but you have to really think about it and I just didn't have the time or energy for it. It is not a book to read over the holidays. I did find it fascinating that there is a lot of speculation that the Americas were vistited many times before Columbus but no one wants mention it because they do not want to disrespect Columbus or something like that. If you have the time to really dig into this book, I fully recommend it. There are a lot of theories and different points of views that will make you think differently about things.… (mais)
In this explosive book, the authors show that after the Roman conquest, Britain retained its culture; its royal families intermarrying with the Caesars. There were two kings named Arthur -- one, the son of the emperor Magnus Maximum, the other his sixth-century descendant. Their lives rolled into one and elaborated upon by medieval poets, they became the single King Arthur of myth and legend. The authors reveal the burial grounds of both Arthurs as well as a secret historical current linking our times with the mysteries of Arthur and the Grail.
This is a confused and badly written narrative, featuring two fantasists who have no real historical sense at all, authored by a writer who specialises in Alternative History (another name, perhaps, for credulity). The Holy Kingdom is anachronistic, relies on speculative antiquarianism and has little foundation in any recognisable reality. The result is unreadable nonsense which depresses the human spirit; you cannot have a meaningful dialogue with theorists who say they are right and you and everyone else is wrong. The Real King Arthur? Don't make me laugh. (The half-star is for the photographs...)… (mais)

This is a pretty content-heavy read, which makes it a little slower than most (at least for me). It's filled with all kinds of insights and fun facts, and offers a great deal of history on the Maya and their culture, as well as many theories on everything from Atlantis to astrology to the end of the world. An intriguing read with a sort of "take it or leave it" attitude.
Some of the conclusions are a bit fishy, but the theory of sun cycles on conception as the foundation of zodiacal astrology is the best portion of the book.
