If not, how and why has 2012 millenarianism gained such popular appeal? In this deeply knowledgeable book, two leading historians of the Maya answer these questions in a succinct, readable, and accessible style. Matthew Restall and Amara Solari introduce, explain, and ultimately demystify the 2012 phenomenon. Firmly grounded in historical fact, while also being revelatory and myth-busting, this fascinating book will be essential reading as the countdown to December 21, 2012, begins. 606 $aTwo thousand twelve, A.D 606 $aMaya calendar 606 $aMaya philosophy 606 $aProphecies 606 $aEnd of the world 606 $aMillennialism 606 $aCivilization, Western 606 $aCivilization, Medieval 615 0$aTwo thousand twelve, A.D. 615 0$aMaya calendar. 615 0$aMaya philosophy. 615 0$aProphecies. 615 0$aEnd of the world. 615 0$aMillennialism. 615 0$aCivilization, Western. 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval. 676 $a236/.9 700 $aRestall$b Matthew$f1964-$01521699 701 $aSolari$b Amara$f1978-$01521700 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785690703321 996 $a2012 and the end of the world$93761050 997 $aUNINA
