1. Uprising

The paranoia is in bloom, the PR
The transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs
Keep us all dumbed down and hope that
We will never see the truth around

Another promise, another scene, another
A package not to keep us trapped in greed
With all the green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

Interchanging mind control
Come let the revolution take it's toll if you could
Flick the switch and open your third eye, you'd see that
We should never be afraid to die

Rise up and take the power back, it's time that
The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that
Their time is coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

2. Resistance
Is our secret safe tonight
And are we out of sight
Or will our world come tumbling down?

Will they find our hiding place
Is this our last embrace
Or will the walls start caving in?


It could be wrong could be wrong, but it should have been right
It could be wrong could be wrong, to let our hearts ignite
It could be wrong could be wrong, are we digging a hole?
It could be wrong could be wrong, this is out of control
It could be wrong could be wrong, it could never last
It could be wrong could be wrong, must erase it fast
It could be wrong could be wrong, but it should have been right
It could be wrong could be…

Love is our resistance
They‘ll keep us apart and they won‘t stop breaking us down
Hold me
Our lips must always be sealed


If we live a life in fear
I‘ll wait a thousand years
Just to see you smile again

Kill your prayer for love and peace
You‘ll wake the thought police
We can‘t hide the truth inside


It could be wrong could be wrong, but it should have been right
It could be wrong could be wrong, to let our hearts ignite
It could be wrong could be wrong, are we digging a hole?
It could be wrong could be wrong, this is out of control
It could be wrong could be wrong, it could never last
It could be wrong could be wrong, must erase it fast
It could be wrong could be wrong, but it should have been right
It could be wrong could be…

Love is our resistance
They‘ll keep us apart and they won‘t stop breaking us down
Hold me
Our lips must always be sealed


The night has reached its end
We can‘t pretend
We must run
We must run
It‘s time to run
Take us away from here
Protect us from further harm
Resistance

3. Undisclosed Desires
I know you've suffered
But I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless
I won't let you be denied
Soothing
I'll make you feel pure
Trust me
You can be sure
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
You trick your lovers
That you're wicked and divine
You may be a sinner
But your innocence is mine
Please me
Show me how it's done
Tease me
You are the one
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
Please me
Show me how it's done
Trust me
You are the one
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

4. United States of Eurasia (+Collateral Damage)
You and me are the same
We don't know or care who's to blame
But we know that whoever holds the reins
Nothing will change
Our cause has gone insane

And these wars, they can't be won
And these wars, they can't be won
And do you want them to go on
And on and on
Why split these states
When there can be only one?

And must we do as we're told?
Must we do as we're told?

You and me fall in line
To be punished for unproven crimes!
And we know that there is no one we can trust;
Our ancient heroes, they are turning to dust!

And these wars, they can't be won
Does anyone know or care how they begun?
They just promise to go on
And on and on
But soon we will see
There can be only one

United States!
United States!
Of...

Eurasia!
... sia!
... sia!
... sia!

Eurasia!
... sia!
... sia!
... sia!

Eurasia!
... sia!
... sia!
... sia!

5. Guiding Light
Pure hearts stumble,
In my hands, they crumble,
Fragile and stripped to the core,
I can't hurt you anymore,
Loved by numbers,
You're losing life's wonder,
Touch like strangers; detached,
I can't feel you anymore,
The sunshine trapped in our hearts,
It could rise again,
But I'm lost, crushed,
cold and confused with no guiding light left inside

You were my guiding light

When comfort and warmth can't be found I still reach for you,
But I'm lost, crushed,
cold and confused with no guiding light left inside

You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light,
When there's no guiding light left inside,
There's no guiding light in our lives

6. Unnatural Selection
They'll laugh as they watch us fall,
The lucky don't care at all,
No hope for fate,
It's unnatural selection,
I want the truth

I am hungry for some unrest,
I want to push this beyond a peaceful protest,
I wanna speak in a language that they'll understand

Dedication, to a new age,
Is this the end of destruction and rampage?
Another just a chance to erase then repeat again

Counter balance this commotion,
We're not droplets in the ocean
Ocean

They'll laugh as they watch us fall,
The lucky don't care at all,
No hope for fate,
It's unnatural selection,
I want the truth

No religion or mind virus,
Is there a hope that the facts will ever find us,
Just make sure that you are looking out for number one

I am hungry for some unrest,
Let's push this beyond a peaceful protest,
I wanna speak in a language that you will understand

They'll laugh as they watch us crawl,
The lucky don't share at all,
No hope for fate, it's a random chance selection,
I want the truth

Try to ride out the storm,
Whilst they'll make you believe, that they are the special ones, (we have not been chosen),
Injustice is the norm,
You are not the first and you know you won't be the last

They'll laugh as they watch us fall,
The lucky don't care at all,
No hope for fate,
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth, I want the truth,
I want the truth! I want the truth!

7. MK Ultra

The wavelength gently grows,
Coercive notions re-evolve,
A universe is trapped inside a tear,
It resonates the core,
Creates unnatural laws,
Replaces love and happiness with fear

How much deception can you take?
How many lies will you create?
How much longer until you break?
Your mind's about to fall

And they are breaking through,
They are breaking through,
Now we're falling,
We are losing control

Invisible to all,
The mind becomes a wall.
All of history deleted with one stroke

How much deception can you take?
How many lies will you create?
How much longer until you break?
Your mind's about to fall

And they are breaking through,
They are breaking through,
Now we're falling,
We are losing control

8. I Belong to You (+Mon Coeur S’oUVRE A Ta Voix)
When these pillars get pulled down,
It will be you who wears the crown,
And I'll owe everything to you

How much pain has quaked your soul?
How much love would make you whole?
You're my guiding lightning strike

I can't find the words to say,
They're overdue,
I've traveled half the world to say,
I belong to you

And she attacks me like a Leo,
When my heart is split like Rio,
And I assure you my debts are real

I can't find the words to say,
When I'm confused,
I travelled half the world to say,
You are my muse

Ah! réponds, réponds à ma tendresse,
Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse,
Réponds à ma tendresse,
Réponds à ma tendresse,
Ah, verse-moi l'ivresse,

Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse
Réponds à ma tendresse!
Réponds à ma tendresse!
Ah! verse-moi l'ivresse

I belong,
I belong,
To you alone

I can't find the words to say,
They're overdue,
I've traveled half the world to say,
I belong to you

9. Exogenesis : Symphony Part I (Overture)
Aping my soul
You stole my overture
Trapped in god's program
Oh I can't escape
Who are we?
Where are we?
When are we?
Who are we?
Who are we?
Where are we?
Why Why Why?

I can't forgive you
And I can't forget
Who are we?
Where are we?
When are we?
Who are we in here?

10. Exogenesis : Symphony Part II (Cross Pollination)
Rise above the crowds,
And wade through toxic clouds,
Breach the outer sphere,
The edge of all our fears,
Rest with you,
We are counting on you,
It's up to you

Spread our codes to the stars,
You must rescue us all,
Spread our codes to the stars,
You must rescue us all,
Tell us, tell us your final wish
Now we know you can never return,
Tell us, tell us your final wish
We will tell it to the world

11. Exogenesis : Symphony Part III (Redemption)
Let's start over again
Why can't we start it over again?

Just let us start it over again

And we'll be good
This time we'll get it...
We'll get it right

It's our last chance to forgive ourselves

Apakah Anda memiliki anak yang masih duduk di bangku sekolah, apakah itu Taman Kanak-Kanak (TK), Sekolah Dasar (SD), Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP), atau bahkan hingga di Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA)? Jika iya, maka jika Anda perhatikan sejak beberapa bulan lalu hingga kini, ada satu permainan kartu bergambar asal Jepang yang sangat digemari anak-anak Indonesia, dan juga mungkin belahan negara lain. Permainan kartu itu disebut Yu-Gi-Oh!, yang mengklaim diri sebagai Trading Card Game. Di Indonesia, tren permainan ini juga disemarakkan dengan pemutaran film kartunnya yang disiarkan stasiun teve swasta, awalnya RCTI, lalu SCTV, dan sekarang Indosiar setiap hari Ahad pukul 11.30 wib.

Yu-Gi-Oh! adalah sebuah manga karya Kazuki Takahashi yang muncul sejak tahun 1996, yang menceritakan sebuah petualangan seorang anak lelaki penyendiri yang jago dalam sebuah game bernama Yugi Mutou. Suatu hari ia diberi hadiah oleh kakeknya sebuah kotak yang berisi kepingan-kepingan Puzzle kuno, yang disebut Millenium Puzzle. Setelah bertahun tahun kemudian Yugi berhasil menyusunnya dan roh yang berada di dalam permainan itu berhasil keluar dari kartu dan merasuki tubuh Yugi. Ini menyebabkan Yugi punya “pendamping” dan mengubah anak tersebut menjadi pribadi yang baru yang disebut Yami Yugi, atau The Dark Yugi.

Di Jepang, permainan ini sukses besar, hingga merambah sukses juga di Amerika dan Kanada. Lalu seperti yang sudah-sudah, jika sukses di Amerika, maka juga dipastikan akan “menjajah” dunia, termasuk Indonesia yang masuk di tahun 2002. Yu-Gi-Oh! Sekarang kita kenal dalam berbagai versi di bawah bendera Konami, seperti game PC, komik manga, Playstation dan sebagainya, dan juga kartunya. Di Indonesia, komik Yu-Gi-Oh! diterbitkan PT. Elex Media Komputindo.

Di dalam tulisan ini Kami tidak mengupas soal bagaimana cara memainkan Yu-Gi-Oh! yang bagi orang dewasa mungkin melihatnya cukup rumit namun banyak anak-anak malah banyak yang hafal di luar kepala. Kami akan mengulasnya dalam perspektif The Mind Control yang dilakukan para Konspiran Globalis, seperti yang mereka sisipkan dalam berbagai produk Walt Disney dan sejenisnya, yang menggunakan bahasa simbol untuk meracuni otak dan pikiran anak-anak. Jika serial Harry Potter oleh para pemerhati pendidikan di Barat disebut sebagai The Handbook of Occultism, maka Yu-Gi-Oh! ini tidak berlebihan jika disebut sebagai The Dictionary Card of Occult, Kamus Okultisme berbentuk kartu.

Selain itu, kami juga akan memaparkan pada Anda tentang fakta betapa identiknya tradisi kuno Yahudi (Tradisi Mesir Kuno) dengan tradisi bangsa Jepang (Shintoisme), sebuah negeri di mana Yu-Gi-Oh! dilahirkan. Hal ini telah membuat sejumlah pakar sejarah, termasuk pakar sejarah Jepang sendiri, yang meyakini jika bangsa Jepang sesungguhnya berasal dari salah satu suku Bani Israel.

Simbol Dajjal Dalam Kartu Yu-Gi-Oh!

Sebelum menelisik lebih lanjut, agar kita mengetahui simbol-simbol apa saja yang ada di dalam kartu Yu-Gi-Oh!, maka di bawah ini akan Kami perlihatkan sebagian kecil dari ratusan kartu permainan ini yang sungguh-sungguh membawa pesan Dajjal.

Setiap pemain Yu-Gi-Oh! akan memburu Kartu Dewa (Divines Cards) yang jumlahnya bervariasi. Wikipedia menyebut jumlah nama dalam kartu dewa ada delapan yakni:

• Sky God Dragon – Osiris (juga dikenal dengan nama Sliffer The Sky Dragon)
• The God of Obelisk (disebut juga Obelisk The Tormentor)
• The Winged Dragon of Ra
• The Creator God of Light, Horakhty (Merupakan fusion dari Ra, Obelisk, dan Osiris)
• The Devils Dread Roots (Yu-Gi-Oh!R)
• The Devils Avatar (Yu-Gi-Oh!R)
• The Devils Eraser (Yu-Gi-Oh!R)
• Zorc Necrophades

Namun banyak pemain menyebut kartu dewa cuma ada tujuh yakni: Obelisk, Ra, Osiris, Devil Avatar, Devil Eraser, Devil Dread-Root, dan Horakhty.

Walau demikian, yang paling banyak dicari ada tiga buah Kartu Dewa, yakni: Winged Dragon of RA, The God of Obelisk, dan Sky God Dragon (Sliffer the Sky Dragon). Ketiganya adalah dewa tertinggi dalam Kabbalah, ilmu sihir Mesir Kuno. Dalam Yu-Gi-Oh!, ketiganya membentuk kekuatan Piramida (segitiga) di mana Winged Dragon of RA berada di puncaknya.

Dewa Ra merupakan Dewa Matahari bangsa Mesir Kuno. Dia merupakan dewa tertinggi bagi seluruh dewa-dewi yang ada. Dalam keyakinan Talmud yang bersumber dari sihir Kabbalah, Ra menempati posisi paling tinggi dan paling dihormati, bersama Osiris dan Horus.

Sedangkan Obelisk merupakan pilar utama dalam ritual sihir Kabbalah, wahana suci yang mampu menghantarkan manusia kepada dewa-dewanya. Sedangkan Sky Dragon of Sliffer secara jelas merujuk kepada Osiris, karena nama lain dari Dewa Osiris adalah Sliffer.

Dalam Yu-Gi-Oh!, terdapat satu kartu yang berisi sebuah simbol yang mungkin paling populer bagi kita semua, yakni simbol Pentagram atau Bintang David. Kartu ni termasuk dalam kelompok Spell Card, dengan nama Master Ritual, atau Ritual Tertinggi. Dalam ritual Kabbalah, simbol Pentagram ini memang merupakan syarat utama dan simbol paling suci. Bukan tanpa alasan jika Zionis Yahudi menggunakan simbol ini sebagai simbol gerakannya.

Exodia, Simbol Dajjal yang Terikat

Selain Kartu Dewa, ada lagi Kartu Exodia (Exodia-The Forbiden One) atau kartu yang menggambarkan dewa yang tengah dirantai. Kartu Exodia terdiri dari lima buah kartu yang masing-masing berisi kepala, tangan kiri, tangan kanan, kaki kiri, dan kaki kanan. Semuanya tengah dirantai. Jika seorang pemain memiliki kelima buah kartu Exodia, maka dia langsung dianggap menang.

Tahukah Anda jika Exodia yang juga disebut sebagai The Dark Master ini sesungguhnya menyimbolkan Dajjal, yang menurut hadits Rasulullah SAW memang sudah ada di suatu pulau terpencil dan tengah dirantai dengan ikatan yang paling kuat yang pernah ada di muka bumi dan baru terlepas di hari akhir?

Ini merupakan sebagian kecil dari contoh simbol-simbol Dajjal yang ada di seluruh kartu Yu-Gi-Oh!. Dengan mengkoleksi kartu ini, dan memainkannya, maka tanpa disadari anak-anak akan mempelajari karakteristik dari simbol-simbol Dajjal tersebut dan menjadi akrab. Bisa jadi, anak-anak Anda akan lebih serius mempelajari karater simbol-simbol Dajjal ini dan menghafal peraturan permainannya ketimbang menghafal surat Al-Qur’an, menghafal rumus-rumus matematika, dan sebagainya yang jelas jauh lebih berguna.

Konspiran Globalis memang sengaja meracuni otak anak-anak kita sejak dini sehingga mereka akan tumbuh menjadi generasi yang lebih akrab dengan simbol-simbol Dajjal dan dengan segala ritualnya, ketimbang dengan Kitabullah.

Dalam tulisan kedua akan dipaparkan betapa identiknya ritual Shintoisme dengan ritual Yahudi kuno. Sehingga kita bisa mendapatkan jawaban mengapa simbol-simbol Dajjal atau simbol-simbol Yahudi ini bisa dilahirkan di negeri yang terletak relatif jauh dari Mesir, pusat dan asal dari Kabbalah, ilmu sihir kuno yang dijadikan kaum Yahudi sebagai pusat kekuatan gerakannya.

Will the world end in 2012? No, it won't.

Will there be a major cataclysm in 2012? Quite possibly.

Although this book concentrates on a potential global catastrophe at a random date within our immediate future, the ancient Mayan Long Count calendar is a powerful argument for that date being Dec 21, 2012.

2. The Mayan Calendar

The Maya

The Maya civilisation inhabited a region encompassing southern Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize & western Honduras, and flourished between the third and tenth centuries AD, but by 1200 AD their society had collapsed for reasons we can only guess at. When the Spanish conquistadors arrived, descendants still occupied the area, and still spoke the Mayan language, but were unaware of the cities their forefathers had created.

It wasn't until the late 18^th century that explorers first investigated the dense Guatemalan rainforest and came across plazas, monoliths, temples and pyramids, each decorated with pictures and hieroglyphs. The ancient Maya had been keeping historical records - using a script which mixed ideographic and phonetic elements. Some of their writing still exists on stelae (stone monuments) that recount civil events and record their calendric and astronomical knowledge.

Spanish Conquest

Diego de Landa was a Spanish priest who visited Mexico on a charitable mission, became the Franciscan provincial of Yucatán in 1561 and is infamous for his destruction of priceless Maya documents and artefacts.

Although Landa was very interested in the Mayan culture, he abhorred certain aspects of their practices, particularly human sacrifice. In July 1562, when evidence of human sacrifice was found in a cave containing sacred Maya statues, a bout of religious self-righteousness saw Landa order the destruction of five thousand idols. He decided that their books were also the devil's work and saw to it that they were burned, with only three books surviving. Consequently the majority of Mayan knowledge and history was lost.

Yet despite his actions, we are also indebted to Landa for his acute and intelligent opus on Mayan life and religion, Relación de las cosas de Yucatán (1566), which remains the classical text on Mayan civilisation. This book, which was not printed until 1864, provided a phonetic alphabet that made it possible to decipher roughly one-third of the remaining Mayan hieroglyphs.

The most important of the surviving books was what is now called the Dresden Codex, named after the city where it was lodged. It is a strange book, inscribed with hieroglyphs, which no one understood until 1880. At that time Ernst FØrstemann, a German scholar who worked at the same Dresden library, managed to crack the code of the Mayan calendar making it possible for other academics to translate the many dated inscriptions found on buildings, stelae and other ancient Mayan artefacts.

He discovered that the Codex contained detailed astrological tables, which calculated the year to be 365.2420 days long, more accurate than the Julian calendar that we use today. The tables were used exclusively by the Mayan astronomers to predict the solstices and equinoxes, the path of the planets in our solar system, the cycles of Venus and Mars, and other celestial phenomena.

Other information we have today has been gleaned from the Popol Vuh and Chilam Balam - books written just after the Spanish arrived. The knowledge found in these books and codices, combined with the uncovering of mysterious pyramids, demonstrate that the Maya had knowledge to rival the Greeks and Egyptians.

Mayan Calendar

The life of the Maya revolved around the concept of time. Priests were consulted on civil, agricultural and religious matters, and their advice would be derived from readings of the sacred calendars. Time was of such importance that children were even named after the date on which they were born.

Maya math uses only three symbols - a shell-shaped glyph for zero, a dot for one and a bar for five to represent units from zero to 19. For instance, the number 13 was represented as three dots and two bars.

Zero was an advanced concept in those days, something that the Romans were not aware of. Yet the Maya were comfortable enough with it to use a shell as its symbol, a tangible object representing an abstract concept. The Maya also used metrical calculation and place numeration, which were very clever for a culture that didn't use the wheel!

Although they had many calendars, they marked the passage of time with three cycles that ran in parallel.

The first is the scared calendar known as the Tzolkin. It combines the numbers from 1 through 13 with a sequence of 20 day-names. It works in a similar manner to our named days of the week, and their date within each month. So you might have 5-Chikchan (like our Sunday the 5th) followed by 6-Kimi (as we would have Monday the 6th). After 260 days the same number/name combination will re-occur, and the calendar starts anew. Their use of the vigesimal (base 20) numbering system probably relates to fingers and toes, whereas the 13 nicely fits the growth phase of the moon which isn't visible when new and appears full for two days on end, thus appearing to have a 13 day growth cycle. Alternatively, the length of the Tzolkin may be related to the human gestation period of nine months (273 days). It has been suggested that 260 days is the time between a woman suspecting her pregnancy (she doesn't menstruate) and when she gives birth.

The second is the agricultural calendar known as the Haab, or vague year. It consists of 18 months, each of 20 days. An addition of a five-day month (a period of apprehension and bad luck named Uayeb) gives us 365 days, an approximation of a year. This calendar's primary purpose was to keep track of the seasons, for seasonal and solar events would occur on roughly the same day of each year. The Maya were aware of the annual quarter day discrepancy, but it is not known if they ever did anything about it.

These two independently running calendars each begin again every 260 and 360+5 days. However, every 52 years they coincide:

"The Tzolkin and the Haab ran concurrently, like intermeshed cog-wheels, and to return to any given date, 52 years, or 18,980 days, would have to elapse (because both 365 x 52 and 260 x 73 = 18,980). In other words, the Tzolkin would make 73 revolutions and the Haab 52, so that every 52 calendar years of 365 days one would return to the same date. A complete date in this 52-year cycle might be, for example, 2 1k 0 Pop (2 1k being the position of the day in the Tzolkin, 0 Pop the position in the Haab). Fifty-two years would pass before another 2 1k 0 Pop date returned.

It was expected that the world would end at the completion of a 52-year cycle. At this time, among the Mexica in the Valley of Mexico, all fires were extinguished, pregnant women were locked up lest they be turned into wild animals, children were pinched to keep them awake so that they would not turn into mice, and all pottery was broken in preparation for the end of the world. In the event the gods decided to grant man another 52 years of life on earth, however, a night time ceremony was held in which the populace followed the priests through the darkness over a causeway to the top of an old extinct volcano that rises abruptly from the floor of the basin of Mexico, known today as the Hill of the Star, the hill above Ixtapalapa. There, with all eyes on the stars, they awaited the passage of the Pleiades across the center of the heavens, which would announce the continuation of the world for another 52 years. When the precise moment came, a victim was quickly sacrificed by making a single gash in his chest and extracting the still palpitating heart. In the gory cavity the priests, with a fire drill, kindled a new flame that was quickly carried by torches across the lake to the temple in Tenochititlan, and from there to all temples and villages around the lake. This was known as the New Fire Ceremony among the Mexica, and in some way this same completion and renewal of each 52-year cycle was recognized by all Mesoamericans."[i]

This is not unlike how the end of the last millennium may have felt for many Christians or doomsday cult followers.

Our modern Western calendar was first introduced in Europe in 1582. It was based upon the Gregorian calendar, which calculated the Earth's orbit to take 365.25 days. This was 0.0003 of a day per year too much, but still exceptionally accurate for scientists living over 400 years ago.

The Mayan calendars were derived from those of their predecessors, the Olmec, whose culture dates back at least 3,000 years. Without the instruments of 16^th century Europe, these Central American locals managed to calculate a solar year of 365.2420 days, just 0.0002 of a day short. More accurate than the Europeans, and much earlier. It is not known if the Olmecs created the Long Count calendar, or if they received it from an even earlier civilisation...

The Long Count

A Mayan date utilises three calendars. The third calendar, known as the "long count", is a continuous record of days that starts over every 5000 years or so. The current Long Count began in 3114 BC. And it will end very soon.

A typical Mayan date looks like this:

12.18.16.2.6, 3 Cimi 4 Zotz

4 Zotz is the Haab date.

3 Cimi is the Tzolkin date.

12.18.16.2.6 is the Long Count date.

The basic unit is the kin (day), which is the last component of the Long Count. Going from right to left the remaining components are:

• unial........1 unial = 20 kin = 20 days
• tun..........1 tun = 18 unial = 360 days = approx. 1 year
• katun.......1 katun = 20 tun = 7,200 days = approx. 20 years
• baktun.....1 baktun = 20 katun = 144,000 days = approx. 394 years

The kin, tun, and katun are numbered from 0 to 19.

The unial are numbered from 0 to 17.

The baktun are numbered from 1 to 13.

The Long Count is a great cycle of 13 baktuns (roughly 5,126 years), where the use of 13 may again represent the growth of the moon from new to full. The current cycle began on 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ahau 8 Cumku which correlates to Aug. 13, 3114 BC.

In Mayan mythology each Long Count cycle is a world age in which the gods attempt to create pious and subservient creatures.

The First Age began with the creation of the Earth, and it had upon it vegetation and living beings. Unfortunately, because they lacked speech, the birds and animals were unable to pay homage to the gods and were destroyed. In the Second and Third Ages the gods created humans of mud and then wood, but these also failed to please and were wiped out. We are currently in the Fourth and Final Age, the age of the modern, fully functional human. Is it possible that these Ages referred to evolutionary change? If they did, then what might occur when the current age finishes on December 21, 2012?

Note on massive spans of time

Although they are not part of the Long Count, the Mayas had calculated larger time spans, some so long that only modern day scientists would ever use them, and suggesting that perhaps the ancient Maya were aware of something we have yet to discover for ourselves.

1 pictun = 20 baktun = 2,880,000 days = approx. 7885 years

1 calabtun = 20 pictun = 57,600,000 days = approx. 158,000 years

1 kinchiltun = 20 calabtun = 1,152,000,000 days = approx. 3 million years

1 alautun = 20 kinchiltun = 23,040,000,000 days = approx. 63 million years

Note on Correlation

This book uses a correlation between the Gregorian and Maya calendars known as the Goodman-Martinez-Thompson (GMT) correlation, which places the long count katun ending 11.16.0.0.0 13 Ahau 8 Xul on 14 November 1539 (Gregorian). Another less popular correlation has the Long Count ending two days later on Dec 23, 2012, and for our purposes makes a negligible difference. A further 50 or more different correlations have been calculated; some by non-academics, usually based on disputing which similar astronomical events occurred in which year. The GMT is generally accepted by academics because it has been proven with carbon dating, and because it is still in use by modern day Quich¾ Maya

Kembali, MENSA ‘kedatangan’ anggota baru yang berusia 2 tahun. Keberadaan bocah laki-laki yang diketahui bernama Oscar Wrigley ini selain menghebohkan dunia sebagai member dari MENSA yang berusia dua tahun, tetapi juga nilai IQ-nya yang terbilang ‘wah’. Kenapa bisa dibilang demikian, karena IQ yang ia dapat sama persis dengan IQ-nya mbah Einstein, yaitu 160. Inilah calon generasi cerdas masa depan.

Sekedar mengingatkan kembali, MENSA adalah sekumpulan masyarakat yang memiliki IQ tinggi. Didirikan oleh Berill dan Dr. Lancelot Ware di Inggris pada tahun 1946. Anggota muda sebelumnya yang menjadi member MENSA adalah Tan Elise Roberts, dari Edmonton, London Utara, yang berusia 2 tahun, 4 bulan dan 14 hari, dengan IQ 156.


Peneliti dari Gifted Children's Information Centre di Solihull, menobatkan Oscar sebagai anak cerdas masa depan yang memiliki persentil point 99.99. Dimana Stanford-Binet tidak dapat mengukur lebih tinggi lagi.

Kedua orang tua Oscar mengatakan mereka mengetahui sejak putra mereka berusia 12 pekan bahwa Oscar sangat brilian. Oscar mulai berbicara pada usia sembilan bulan, mampu menghafal alfabet dalam usia 18 bulan, dan saat ia mencapai usia dua tahun, ia mempunyai kosakata sebanyak ribuan kata, kata kedua orang-tuanya.


Ayah Oscar, Joe Wrigley menuturkan, " Oscar baru-baru ini mengatakan kepada istri saya tentang siklus reproduksi pinguin. Dia selalu mengajukan pertanyaan. Setiap orangtua suka berpikir anak mereka yang istimewa tapi kami tahu ada sesuatu yang sangat luar biasa tentang Oscar," imbuhnya.

"Pembendaharaan kata-katanya luar biasa. Dia mampu membangun kalimat-kalimat kompleks. Dan yang membuatku lebih yakin lagi ketika ia mengatakan, 'Mami, sosis adalah seperti sebuah pesta di mulut saya '. " ujar sang mama, Hannah Wrigley (26 tahun).

Dr Peter Congdon, yang memeriksa Oscar, mengatakan dia adalah seorang "anak yang sangat cerdas". Sementara itu, John Stevenage, Chief Executive Mensa, menegaskan "Oscar menunjukkan potensi besar. Konversi yang potensial untuk pencapaian adalah tantangan bagi orangtuanya dan kami sangat senang bahwa mereka telah memilih untuk bergabung dengan Mensa dukungan", katanya.
