Dec. 21 Marks Ten Years Until Humanity's Doom, According to Mayan Calendar

New Book Details This Intriguing Prophecy
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Dec. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mayan Calendar, a sophisticated instrument of time and space more than two thousand years old, prophesizes that Humanity will come to an abrupt end on a date equating to the winter solstice of 2012...exactly ten years from this December 21st. Should we be worried?
Best-selling author Steve Alten, whose novel, DOMAIN centers upon the 2012 event, thinks so.
"A calendar, in this sense, measures how long Earth's solar year is. What's disturbing about the Mayan prophecy is that their calendar is actually more accurate than the European Calendar we base our current calendar on today -- even though it's 1,500 years older. The calendar itself is divided into five great cycles. Humanity is presently in the fifth and last cycle, the previous four all ending in cataclysms."
DOMAIN is a thriller that mixes fact with fiction. The hero is the son of an archaeologist who must figure out ancient clues left to man (Stonehenge, Nazca Drawings, Giza Pyramids) in order to resolve the doomsday riddle. Problem is, the hero has been diagnosed a paranoid schizophrenic and is locked in an asylum.
"In DOMAIN," Alten says, "the facts are actually scarier than the fiction. For instance, every Fall and Spring, the shadow of a giant serpent appears on the northern balustrade of the Kukulcan Pyramid in Chichen Itza, the former Mayan capital. Many believe this amazing effect was left as an ancient warning of the December events to come."
DOMAIN is available in all bookstores and on Amazon.com
