The Sixth World by Margaret Evans

"The Sixth World" (thesixthworld.com) is a fictional page-turner based on popular beliefs of two California archaeologists who have discovered Maya readying for the new age when they will again rule the world.

It's all expected to happen on Dec. 22, 2012 based on actual Mayan predictions of the new age involving the Earth’s ongoing reverse magnetic energy, sunspots and solar flares. These estimates are backed by many popular websites like 2near.com, 12-12-12.org and timewavezero.com.

"The one thing I continually learn is the more we find out about this culture, the deeper the mysteries seem to grow," Evans said. "While I’m not sure what will happen on December 22, 2012, I think we will all be in for a surprise of some kind.

"The previous five Aztec/Mayan ages were marked with worldwide/cosmic events jibing pretty closely with our own scientific/historic theories, such as asteroids hitting the earth and killing off the dinosaurs. I guess I just can’t get past the Maya being such an intelligent, talented people who could predict planetary and astral movements without the aid of telescopes and machines. What they knew was phenomenal. How they knew it is unknown. That’s my fascination."
