Publisher's Synopsis
WOULD THE WORLD END IN 212? The Mayan priests predicted the end of the world between 21st and 22nd December 212. What is the meaning of this prophecy? What is the cosmic and philosophical message left by the Mayans? But ``the owners of magic time`` were not announcing a catastrophe that would lead to annihilation of human kind; they did not predict the end of the world, but the end of this world, as we know it now. At this specific date an exceptional cosmic event would occur, an event that happens only every 26, years. The emerging of a ``new race`` perhaps would depend on ourselves only and could be our effort and our will to change the reasons that will induce new generations towards a better world.
