Based on more than 25 years of research around the globe and statements from Edgar Cayce about Atlantis, and its Pacific sister civilization of Lemuria, Frank Joseph reveals that the Mayan Calendar was brought to Mexico by survivors of Atlantis. Uncovering the Atlantean influences in both ancient Mesoamerican culture and ancient Egyptian culture, he links the demise of Atlantis with the birth of the Olmec civilization in Mexico, (the progenitors of the Maya), the beginning of the first Egyptian dynasty, and the start of the Mayan Calendar. Joseph explains that the Mayan Calendar was invented by the combined genius of Atlantis and Lemuria and describes how it predicts an eternal cycle of global creation, destruction and renewal. Correlating this recurring cycle with scientific studies on glacial ice cores and predictions from the Hopi, the Incas and the Scandinavian Norse, Joseph reveals that 2012 could be the start of a new ice age and the advent of a massive solar storm. However, Joseph shows that the Maya knew the way to re-establish civilization's cosmic balance before time runs out. • Shows that the mayan Calendar was brought to mexico by survivors of Atlantis • Correlates scientific studies with the Mayan Calendar to reveal that 2012 could be the start of a new ice age • Reveals the link between Atlantis and lemuria discovered by Edgar Cayce
