The Maya Apocalypse and Its Western Roots (Hardcover)

This fascinating history explores the cultural roots of our
civilization's 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, Moctezuma's welcome to Cortes, 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.
