Sixty-five million years ago an asteroid impacts the Earth, destroying the dinosaurs, forever changing the evolution of life on our planet.

 

Only the object wasn't an asteroid…

 

For thirty-two years archaeologist Julius Gabriel has investigated the Mayan calendar. A 2500-year-old enigma of time and space that predicts humanity will perish at the winter solstice of 2012. Julius believes the Great Pyramid of Giza, Stonehenge, the desert drawings of Nazca, the sites of Angkor Wat, Teotihuacan, and the Kukulcan Pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula—the site of the ancient asteroid impact—all represent ancient pieces of a global puzzle linked to the salvation of our species.
