The Maya Apocalypse and Its Western Roots by Matthew Restall (English) Paperback

Description: The Maya Apocalypse and Its Western Roots by Matthew Restall, Amara Solari Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Driven by a clear and compelling argument, this engaging book traces apocalyptic thinking in two civilizations—Western and Maya. Looking both back and forward, Matthew Restall and Amara Solari build on their previous study, 2012 and the End of the World, to explore the persistence of our civilizations end-of-times anxiety and anticipation. Publisher Description This fascinating history explores the cultural roots of our civilizations obsession with the end of the world. Busting the myth of the ancient Maya prediction that time would end in 2012, Matthew Restall and Amara Solari build on their previous book, 2012 and the End of the World, to use the Maya case to connect such seemingly disparate historical events as medieval European millenarianism, Moctezumas welcome to Cortés, Franciscan missionizing in Mexico, prophetic traditions in Yucatan, and the growing belief today in conspiracies and apocalypses. In demystifying the 2012 phenomenon, the authors draw on their decades of scholarship to provide an accessible and engaging explanation of what Mayas and Aztecs really believed, how Judeo-Christian apocalypticism became part of the Indigenous Mesoamerican and modern American worlds, and why millions continue to anticipate an imminent Doomsday.
