I did...roughly 10 years ago now. The main sentiment was that we all needed to prepare for 2012...If you're still thinking Olympics, then can I recommend you see this as a red pill/ blue pill moment, (as in WAKE THE FCUK UP!!!) Also I'm not trying to overdo the matrix analogies, all I mean is I started reading into this sh*t and was hooked!!
Many interesting facts came out of that book. Firstly a 15th Century map - The Piri Reis map, which showed the coast of Antartica (at the time undiscovered) with fruit trees, a hot climate,"large snakes" and vegitation only found in the tropics. Next the book talked about the greatest human constructions on the planet - The Pyramids, apparently built in 10,000 bc and not 3000 bc as originally thought.
The book takes you through all sorts of other weird but compelling theories till we reach my favourite...The Mayan "Doomsday" Calendar, split into 5 ages, each age spanning hundreds of thousands of years...Archaeologists found that the end of each "age" could be tied to a historical global catastrophy, including most recently (in their terms) the extinction of the dinosoars. Well the 5th age is due to end some time in June 2012 and the book mentions everything from global warming, melting polar ice-caps leading to freak weather conditions, to the imbalance in tidal shifts and finally "Earth Crust Displacemet". i.e. the earths mantle spinning around its axis, causing polar shifts and general global fuckry.
Now...if that were the case, and these shifts happened millions of years ago. Could that be an explanation for fruit trees, large snakes, vegitation and lets face it, NO SNOW in an undiscovered Antartica?....Maybe!!
Oh yeah...my point?...well it's more of question... Were the ancients correct in their doomsday predictions, meaning regardless if what we did, mankind was F'd from day? Or does the unstoppable egotism of mankind simply mean that we cant help ourselves but to create a self fulfilling prophecy...see below!
Check it out....Read about...and let me know what you think MUTHAFCUKAS!!!

I've often thought about this, so i might just check out the book!...in fact me n a friend were talking about it, and i seriously don’t think anything we do now as a human race can compete with the earths forces....suppose its a cleansing process?!?!?!
I'm intrigued but unfortunately I really can't allow myslef to get into stuff like that-I'd end up wearing a tin foil hat and cutting off my eyelids...or something like that
