About the Book

According to the Mayans, the year 2012 marks the beginning of the Prophecy of the Sun, a dramatic transition from one major phase of our world into another. Many read this as the date of the Apocalypse. The Book of Destiny helps clarify just what the 2012 date means to us, what the Mayans believe is likely to occur, and how we can prepare ourselves to meet the coming change.

At the heart of The Book of Destiny is the sacred Mayan Calendar, an extraordinary tool recognized today for its unique ability to predict events and its strong basis in accepted mathematical principals. Poetically narrated, the calendar contains the scientific legacy of the Mayan people, preserved and transmitted over the centuries through oral tradition and written texts.

Carlos Barrios is a renowned anthropologist and authority on Mayan history, culture, astrology and the predictions of the Mayan Calendar. Carlos is a Mayan priest and shaman and a member of the Guatemalan Mayan Elders Council. He was also born into one of the most ancient and sacred Mayan lineages.

“Discovering Mayan prophecy and astrology in these perilous times is like discovering an escape route to health and opportunity in a time of plague. Pass through the mirror of Barrios’s extraordinary book and spend some quality time with your higher self.” — Lawrence E. Joseph, author of Apocalypse 2012: An Inquiry into Civilization’s End
