Summary: This is THE book.
Review: This is an amazing work. The Mayan Factor is a must for everyone who is genuinly interested in Mayan enigma.This book answered and clarified my many years of wonder about Mayans and their obsession with time; and of course, like all good works, leaves you with other interesting questions. Do yourself a favour: read this book!

Summary: An Alternative to Argulles
Review: This is for reviewer CHRISTOPHER FUNG. If you found Argulles' work to be a load of mallarky, you might find an alternate study of the Mayan Calendar interesting. Swedish Mayanist/authro Carl Johan Calleman has written a book on the subject and he is in strong disagreement with Argulles' conjectures (and this whole Dreamspell business). He even sets a completely different date for the end of the Mayan Calendar (a year earlier). Hope you find this info useful.

Summary: This is THE book.
Review: This is the first book I have read in a series of Mayan religion and culture. This book is absolutely necessary for anyone studying the Mayan culture. It provides an unorthodoxed look at there culture and religion. It will furthermore open ones mind to the abilities of our predecessors, and show that there is much more to be learned of our history as humanoids. This book has fantastic technical merit. I am not a archaeologist or a anthropoligist or even a paleontologists. Therefore i can not credentially state that this book is true. But I have read many Mayan books now and after much experience it has opened into a labyrinth of mystery. One that may not be solved but so fabulous to learn. For anyone looking at this book you need this, for education or for spiritual growth of your own discipline. It will propel you to better and broader horizons. I would like to thank the author for revealing another side of what i see as a biased history of the Mayans. Thank you.

Summary: A breakthrough that has been eclipsed
Review: When this book first came out it presented radically new ways to interpret history, time, and consciousness. Unfortunately Mr Arguelles became convinced of his identity as a reincarnated Pacal Votan (Lord of Time) and created another system of Mayan glyphs called the Dreamspell. Dreamspell is not based on the pure interpretation of the Mayan Tzolkin. It is an invention that detracts from the original Mayan teachings.So while the book does provide some interesting introduction to the Mayan calendar it is based on imagined predicates of an incomprehensible Dreamspell system. The author has been changing this concept and his websites almost continually. A more authentic source on this subject is by Carl Johan Calleman. His books Solving the Greatest Mystery of Our Time: The Mayan Calendar and The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness form the crux of an authentic system of study and understanding based on genuine MAYAN galactic concepts. The Mayan Factor has simply been eclipsed.
