Book Synopsis Maya Apocalypse by : Felicitas D. Goodman
Download or read book Maya Apocalypse written by Felicitas D. Goodman and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maya Apolcalypse is the record of fieldwork that, as often happens, ended up quite differently from the way it was originally planned. In conducting a research project about speaking in tongues (glossolalia), Felicitas Goodman recorded this non-ordinary behavior among English- and Spanish-speaking members of Pentecostal congregations. A Mexican Apostolic Pentecostoal minister introduced Goodman to the preacher in a Maya village in Yucatan. The congregation she came to know in 1969 experienced a 'crisis cult' in response to a prediction of the end of the world, which was to take place on September 1, 1970. Goodman subsequently spent a part of every year until 1986 with the women of the congregation. Maya Apocalypse is a record of that fieldwork, which eventually covered not only the events in the temple, both ordinary and extraordinary, but also the lives of the women who acted as informants, especially Doña Eus, to whom this work is affectionately dedicated.
Book Synopsis The Maya Apocalypse and Its Western Roots by : Matthew Restall
Download or read book The Maya Apocalypse and Its Western Roots written by Matthew Restall and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating history explores the cultural roots of our civilization’s obsession with the end of the world. Busting the myth of the ancient Maya prediction that time would end in 2012, Matthew Restall and Amara Solari build on their previous book, 2012 and the End of the World, to use the Maya case to connect such seemingly disparate historical events as medieval European millenarianism, Moctezuma’s welcome to Cortés, Franciscan missionizing in Mexico, prophetic traditions in Yucatan, and the growing belief today in conspiracies and apocalypses. In demystifying the 2012 phenomenon, the authors draw on their decades of scholarship to provide an accessible and engaging explanation of what Mayas and Aztecs really believed, how Judeo-Christian apocalypticism became part of the Indigenous Mesoamerican and modern American worlds, and why millions continue to anticipate an imminent Doomsday.
Book Synopsis 2012 and the End of the World by : Matthew Restall
Download or read book 2012 and the End of the World written by Matthew Restall and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-16 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did the Maya really predict that the world would end in December of 2012? If not, how and why has 2012 millenarianism gained such popular appeal? In this deeply knowledgeable book, two leading historians of the Maya answer these questions in a succinct, readable, and accessible style. Matthew Restall and Amara Solari introduce, explain, and ultimately demystify the 2012 phenomenon. They begin by briefly examining the evidence for the prediction of the world's end in ancient Maya texts and images, analyzing precisely what Maya priests did and did not prophesize. The authors then convincingly show how 2012 millenarianism has roots far in time and place from Maya cultural traditions, but in those of medieval and Early Modern Western Europe. Revelatory any myth-busting, while remaining firmly grounded in historical fact, this fascinating book will be essential reading as the countdown to December 21, 2012, begins.

Book Synopsis Apocalypse 12 - 21 - 12 by : James Burton Anderson
Download or read book Apocalypse 12 - 21 - 12 written by James Burton Anderson and published by Lion's Pride Pub.. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mayan prophecies have been the subject of heated debate for decades. Is there really a Mayan calendar 2012 prophecy of any kind? Although some in the media and government would have you believe otherwise, a very specific prophecy is factually documented in Mayan carvings. Author James Burton Anderson is a graduate engineer, life-long dedicated astronomer, archeologist, and fifty-year MENSA member. He has studied the Mayan calendar and its possible apocalyptic implications for over fifteen years, and believes that knowledge is power. James wants as many Americans as possible to understand exactly what all the fuss is about, and what dangers might actually occur. Only in this way can individuals make up their own minds whether this matter is worthy of very great concern or should simply be ignored. Is an apocalypse based on the Mayan calendar end of world scenario remotely possible? This unique up-to-the-minute book explores the basis of the worldwide concern over the coming Mayan calendar 2012 prophecies date, which is almost upon us. In May, Reuters reported a study showing that worldwide 10% of adult individuals believe the Mayan prophecy could signify the end of the world in December 2012. In America a startling 22% believe they will see the world end in their lifetime. Many very credible scientists and others are deeply concerned about survival. Anderson shares his startling findings on why this special Mayan calendar prophecy date might actually have more validity than governments will ever reveal. He is convinced that we are, in fact, in very urgent and present danger. He explores in helpful detail what we are not being told and why, and comes to some important conclusions. Are we actually in imminent danger? The many different "Mayan prophecies 2012 'End of the World' December 21" scenarios are explored in great detail, along with timely useful advice on the steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones. Whether or not the Mayan prophecy theories are valid, it is irrefutable that the Maya prophecy of their God's return is deeply rooted in their beliefs. Mayan prophecies may or may not come true on December 21, but making preparations for the inevitable coming disasters that will make hurricane Sandy seem like a spring shower simply makes common sense to many concerned scientists.

Book Synopsis End Times to 2019 by : David Montaigne
Download or read book End Times to 2019 written by David Montaigne and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2013-01-09 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the end of the Mayan Calendar start the countdown to Judgment Day? Biblical and historical researcher David Montaigne concludes that this is the case. He says that the end of the Mayan Long Count is the official start of the Bible’s seven-year tribulation-both were focused on the same astronomical events that occur from 2012 to 2019. The world as we know it will be gone by 2020. Texts from ancient India tell us about great cycles of destruction. The Egyptians told the same basic story with different names. The Maya reveal another version of the story, and were very clear about the timing of events from December 2012 to 2019. Your average American is no expert on these cultures, but most people do have a Bible at home-and the clearest details on what is about to happen can be found in the Bible, if you don't let someone else tell you which parts you should focus on. No, this isn't what you were taught in Sunday school. Religious leaders guide us between the raindrops of curious comments in the Bible. We are discouraged from focusing on the parts they say we weren't meant to understand. But if we stop glossing over these important passages we will understand a flood of details about the End Times. Our “leaders” are not ignorant of these events. The elite already know what is about to happen and they have made preparations most rational people would not believe, because evidence is suppressed to avoid chaos. They want us to remain ignorant, or at least to believe that the details are secrets that cannot be known. But the coming events (and their timing) are not secrets. Years ago, this book's publication would not have been tolerated by those in power. But by now it doesn't matter much-their plans are not going to be interfered with at this point. Your plans, however, can still be formulated, if you make the choice to understand. Topics include: Bible Prophecy; Matthew 24:36- Knowing the hour and the day; The Mayan Calendar and Mythology; Pole Shifts; Galactic Superwaves; Ancient Egypt; Ancient India; World Mythology; The Georgia Guidestones; The real Star of Bethlehem and the exact birthday of Christ; Calculating the Second Coming, and Judgment Day; more.
Book Synopsis The Maya: A Very Short Introduction by : Matthew Restall
Download or read book The Maya: A Very Short Introduction written by Matthew Restall and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Maya forged one of the greatest societies in the history of the ancient Americas and in all of human history. Long before contact with Europeans, Maya communities built spectacular cities with large, well-fed large populations. They mastered the visual arts, and developed a sophisticated writing system that recorded extraordinary knowledge in calendrics, mathematics, and astronomy. The Maya achieved all this without area-wide centralized control. There was never a single, unified Maya state or empire, but always numerous, evolving ethnic groups speaking dozens of distinct Mayan languages. The people we call "Maya" never thought of themselves as such; yet something definable, unique, and endlessly fascinating - what we call Maya culture - has clearly existed for millennia. So what was their self-identity and how did Maya civilization come to be "invented?" With the Maya historically subdivided and misunderstood in so many ways, the pursuit of what made them "the Maya" is all the more important. In this Very Short Introduction, Restall and Solari explore the themes of Maya identity, city-state political culture, art and architecture, the Maya concept of the cosmos, and the Maya experience of contact with including invasion by outsiders. Despite its brevity, this book is unique for its treatment of all periods of Maya civilization, from its origins to the present.

Book excerpt: Today’s world leaders and those of 1,000 years ago face the world’s end. The Mayan “End-Time Codex” predicts the end of the world in 2012.

Meanwhile, thousand years later, scientists have rediscovered the End-Time Codex and learned that their own time mirrors Tula’s golden age. Can they crack the 2012 code and save their world from Tula’s deadly fate? The countdown begins.

Book Synopsis The Living Maya by : Robert Sitler, Ph.D.
Download or read book The Living Maya written by Robert Sitler, Ph.D. and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2012-04-10 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Robert Sitler’s immersion in Mayan culture began with a transformative spiritual experience more than three decades ago in the ruins of Palenque, Mexico. Led by a local to a nearby Mayan village, Sitler discovered firsthand what traditional Mayan life was like—a community of people living in peace with each other and their physical surroundings. In The Living Maya, he shares this experience and many that followed. In the process, he immerses readers in a rich indigenous culture and offers a fresh view of the 2012 phenomenon, focusing on the valuable lessons Mayan culture can teach us in this time of transition. Personal anecdotes are interwoven with factual information about the roots of traditional Mayan customs and traditions, presenting a rare multifaceted view of their simple yet profound way of life. The book showcases Mayan infant care, community building, ties to nature, attitudes toward the elderly, and orientation to spirituality. In The Living Maya, Sitler shows how following “the Mayan way” can help us ground our lives in harmony with nature, broaden our perspectives on human existence, connect us with our capacity for compassion, and use the vaunted cataclysm of 2012 as a unique chance for growth.
Book Synopsis Aztec and Maya Apocalypses by : Mark Z. Christensen
Download or read book Aztec and Maya Apocalypses written by Mark Z. Christensen and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2022-07-14 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, the Final Judgment: the Apocalypse is central to Christianity and has evolved throughout Christianity’s long history. Thus, when ecclesiastics brought the Apocalypse to Indigenous audiences in the Americas, both groups adapted it further, reflecting new political and social circumstances. The religious texts in Aztec and Maya Apocalypses, many translated for the first time, provide an intriguing picture of this process—revealing the influence of European, Aztec, and Maya worldviews on portrayals of Doomsday by Spanish priests and Indigenous authors alike. The Apocalypse and Christian eschatology played an important role in the conversion of the Indigenous population and often appeared in the texts and sermons composed for their consumption. Through these writings from the sixteenth to the early nineteenth century—priests’ “official” texts and Indigenous authors’ rendering of them—Mark Z. Christensen traces Maya and Nahua influences, both stylistic and substantive, while documenting how extensively Old World content and meaning were absorbed into Indigenous texts. Visions of world endings and beginnings were not new to the Indigenous cultures of America. Christensen shows how and why certain formulations, such as the Fifteen Signs of Doomsday, found receptive audiences among the Maya and the Aztec, with religious ramifications extending to the present day. These translated texts provide the opportunity to see firsthand the negotiations that ecclesiastics and Indigenous people engaged in when composing their eschatological treatises. With their insights into how various ecclesiastics, Nahuas, and Mayas preached, and even understood, Catholicism, they offer a uniquely detailed, deeply informed perspective on the process of forming colonial religion.
