The Maya were one of the most highly evolved ancient civilizations. Preservers of a wisdom more ancient than themselves, the Maya had an advanced mathematics, astronomy, and an unrivalled knowledge of the true nature of reality. Their culture included a complex written language and sophisticated mathematical systems of divination and prediction. They perceived our lives as a complex interweaving of many strands, a truly 'holistic' society. Ron Bonewitz explores Maya religion and prophecies to see how the universal principles of their understanding apply to us today. There is presently a heightened interest in the Maya as we approach the date marking the end of the Maya calendar cycle - and according to their prophecy, the world itself - in 2012.
