The end of the Mayan calendar is fast approaching Learn what you need to know to survive the great cataclysm of 2012! In his previous book, The Orion Prophecy, author Geryl theorizes that the lost civilization of Atlantis was destroyed by a huge cataclysm engendered by changes in sunspot activity affecting Earth's magnetic poles and atmosphere. All of this was predicted by the Mayan Calendar, translated in hindsight.

Here he continues his discussion of the Mayan calendar and the fairly well-known fact that it is generally interpreted to end in 2012. He believes that the knowledge that can save the world from the cataclysm of 2012 can be excavated from The Labyrinth of ancient Egypt, a storehouse of Atlantean knowledge which is linked in prophecy to the Mayan predictions. The mathematics and astronomy of the ancient Egyptians and Mayans are related and have similar predictive power and should be taken very seriously..

Climate change threatens not only the environment but global peace and security as well. Climatic Cataclysm brings together experts on climate science, foreign policy, political science, oceanography, history, and national security to take measure of these risks.

The contributors examine three scenarios as a basis for future planning. The first scenario projects the likely effects of the expected level of climate change over the next thirty years, based on current scientific models. The severe scenario, based on a much stronger response to current levels of carbon loading, foresees profound and potentially destabilizing global effects over the next generation or more. Finally, the catastrophic scenario is characterized by a devastating "tipping point" in the climate system, perhaps fifty or one hundred years hence. In this future world, the land-based polar ice sheets have disappeared, global sea levels have risen dramatically, and the existing natural order has been destroyed beyond repair.

Climatic Cataclysm analyzes the security implications of these scenarios, ranging from disease proliferation, large-scale migration, and increased low-intensity conflict to the risk of nuclear war. It also considers the lessons that can be learned from previous civilizations confronted with natural disaster and asks what the three largest emitters of greenhouse gases—the United States, the European Union, and China—can do to reduce and manage future risks.

Climate change may prove to be the single greatest challenge confronting the United States and indeed, human civilization. Climatic Cataclysm helps explain why.

Ancient enemies stalk ghostly fog forests as legends come to life. The Divide is flooded Habryn Kail and the Homunculus are missing, presumed dead. Sal and his companions seek the source of the flood in the legendary Hanging Mountains, hoping to head off a crisis that was put in motion a thousand years ago. As conflict erupts between two long-forgotten civilizations, the outsiders find that allies are hard to come by. Taken captive and separated, they uncover uncomfortable truths about the world and how it relates to the one that came before--our world. Something dark and deadly is stirring in the heart of the mountains. And the closer it comes to waking, the more certain it seems the Homunculus may not have been the enemy at all..

AWAKENING THE PHARAOH How to Avoid World Cataclysm in 2012 * The story described in this book refers to real and authentic events and people. * Since May 2001 we have obtained information on the location of the tomb of Pharaoh who built the Great Pyramid in Egypt. This information was obtained from a Polish woman, Lucyna Lobos, through sessions of hypnotic age regression. * The excavation of the Pharaoh's tomb and placing the mummy in the sarcophagus of the Great Pyramid is suppose to "open" the Pyramid and create a protection from catastrophic changes such as global warming and natural disasters, especially from the danger of year 2012, i.e. changing of the Earth polarity. * According to obtained information, the Great Pyramid was constructed about 6,500 years ago by the Pharaoh whose name was THE ONE WHO CAME FROM HEAVEN. * The main builders of the Pyramid originated from a distant civilization in the Orion Constellation and were from a planet called Ashun. During the Pyramid's construction the people of the earth only performed basic lighter tasks. * In order to empirically validate this information from the age regression sessions with Lucyna Lobos, the University of Wroclaw (Poland) has initiated archeological excavations in the southern mountain in Poland called Sleza in August 2004. These excavations are still proceeding today. * To further validate this information, the University of Cairo performed radar ground penetrating research (GPR) in the area of the Great Pyramid to the depth of over 60 meters in February 2006. This was achieved with the permission of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt..

In a remote city on the edge of two worlds, where blood has power and water is more precious than freedom, three far-flung friends unite on a quest to save their families Sal Hrvati's estranged father has brought more into the world than the woman he loved. Instead of saving her from the Void Beneath, he has summoned an unknown creature—a creature with a mission of its own and a past that stretches back to the beginning of the world. The quest to find both of them entangles Sal and his companions in a hunt for magical treasure on the floor of the Divide, a mighty crack in the earth inhabited by creatures that are not remotely human. Desert landscapes and dirigibles feature in a fast-paced fantasy that combines romance, adventure, and humor with an original take on magic.

The Books of the Cataclysm take inspiration from many arcane and mythological sources. In positing that this world is just one of many "realms," three of which are inhabited by humans during various stages of their lives, it begins in the present world but soon propels the reader to a landscape that is simultaneously familiar and fantastic..
