Not quite smart enough to really benefit by this fine study. But it wasn't a total loss for me. I'm really bad with puzzles and all that sort of thing. John Michell, though he's no longer with us, and the HBHG bunch can get the most out of these exercises. (

This is one of those books where the author takes some concepts, takes them out of context and then applies a strange kind of non-earth logic to the whole thing. Entertaining to a degree but it's foundations are quite shaky. I must admit to mental glazing over parts because my brain was refusing to even come close to agreeing with what he was proposing.

I also found it interesting to see the commonalities between the divine and semi-divine heroes in world-myth, though I have a suspicion there are other wirters with more grounding in reality who actually have written better works. It will probably suffer a resurgance due to the approach of 2012 and the end of the Mayan calender, and this is mentioned here.

If you're a Von Dankein fan you'll like this one. (

In The Mayan Prophecies Maurice Cotterell revealed how the mysterious beliefs of the ancient Mayas, who believed we are living in the fifth and final age of the Sun, were based on sound scientific principles.

In The Supergods he goes further still, asking how a people living more than a thousand years ago in the jungles of Central America came to possess such extraordinary prophetic insights. Where did this super-knowledge come from? His research reveals, for the first time ever, incredible pictorial evidence that proves the man in the tomb at Palenque, Lord Pacal, priest-king leader of the Maya, was no ordinary man. This King concealed his knowledge in the treasures of his tomb and brought super-knowledge to his people, just like Krishna, Buddha and Jesus before him.

This book claims to be based on facts. As a reader you have to rely on the writer. However, what he writes about DNA is technically impossible. And the claims are rather bold. Further he suffers the Calimero syndrome ('people did not listen to Galileo either'). Conclusion: nonsense. (

Book description

De auteur van De voorspellingen van de Maya's ontsluierd, vertelt
op meeslepende en overtuigende wijze hoe hij zijn speurtocht naar
de geheimen van de Maya's heeft voortgezet.
Cotterell reist naar het hart van de Maya-cultuur, Palenque in Zuid-
Mexico. Daar, midden in de jungle, komt hij op het spoor van het
MMIH graf van de priester-koning Pacal. ffiHMHHB
De geschriften die hij onderzoekt tonen onomstotelijk aan dat deze
man geen gewone man was; hij behoorde tot het ras van de
supergoden.
De verbazingwekkende schatten in de Maya-tombe beantwoorden een groot aantal van de vragen zoals die nu nog gesteld worden: hoe wisten de Maya's zoveel over astronomie en astrologie? Wat begrepen zij van magnetische velden? En hoe kan de plotselinge , 'verdwijning' van de Maya's worden verklaard?
Maurice Cotterell wordt internationaal geprezen voor zijn bijdrage aan het ontsluieren van de Maya-geheim en.
'Zeer origineel, zeer inspirerend en gebaseerd op uitstekende research. De supergoden is een must voor iedereen die houdt
van oeroude raadsels.' - Robert G. Bauval, mede-auteur van Het Orion mysterie
