Crystal Skulls;   in the  Mystery of the Crystal   Skulls, Chris Morton and Ceri Louise Thomas   interview North and South American Indians, who claim that there were   originally 52  crystal   skulls, of which the Maya had 13. They were brought to   Earth in the distant past by extra-terrestrials, having been encoded with   information from 12 different planetary civilisations.
         
          Morton and Thomas discovered that   :   
   
          "The   whole layout of  Teotihuacan was like huge clock-face, centred around the   Pyramid of the Sun. The Avenue of the Dead, like one hand of a clock, pointed   at where the Pleiades would have set on the Southern horizon on the 12 August   3114 BC, whilst the  skull beneath the Pyramid of the Sun - like the other hand   of the clock, pointed at the place on the horizon where the Pleiades set   today."   

They   also found that the 3 pyramids of Teotihuacan were a reflection of Orion's   belt, just like the Giza pyramids of Egypt. They    were told by elders of the Hopi Indian people that the   extraterrestrials that brought the  crystal skulls were from   Sirius, Orion, and   the Pleiades; (strangely enough, these are the three most common sources given   by channels today). The information is held in the molecular crystal lattice,   as in the silicon chips we use today, but can be accessed by consciousness.   The Mitchell-Hedges skull was tested by Hewlett-Packard, who could find no   tooling marks on it, and concluded that it would have taken 300 man-years to   make.

"The skulls were kept inside a   pyramid in a formation of tremendous power- known as the Ark. The Ark was   composed of the 12 skulls from each of the sacred planets kept in a circle,   with a thirteenth skull, the largest, placed in the centre of this formation.   This thirteenth skull represents the collective consciousness of all the   worlds. It connects up the knowledge of all the sacred planets."      
   
   Now   is the Time of the Warning, also called Time of the Awakening, or Time of the   Quickening, which is the transitional period between the end of the 9 Hell   Cycles, which ended on 17 August 1987, and the time of the 13 Heavens, which   begins "after sunset on 21 December- in the year 2012". The crystal   skulls were left here to help us in this time of transition - we must change   before 2012, showing love and respect for each other, life, and the planet, or   we shall be cleansed from it by cataclysms.

The modern Mayans   are arranging a series of meetings for elders from indigenous tribes of North   and South America and other countries, to culminate in a reunion of all the   crystal skulls. This will happen at a pre-destined time known only to the   Mayan day-keepers.      
   
         
   
   
The   Hall of Records;   in his 1998 book,  The Gods of   Eden,  Andrew Collins has followed up legends of   an undiscovered underground complex at the Giza plateau, and by a study of the   much overlooked Edfu Texts, has concluded that the complex takes the form of   12 chambers surrounding a 13th!
   
                                                    
   
       Andrew   Collins' plan of the probable arrangement of the Chambers of First   Creation, based on the Edfu texts and books of the duat.
   
 He calls the complex the Chambers of Creation,   and says that in each of the 12 chambers were kept "Iht-relics", and   in the central 13th chamber was the "Bnnt-embryo", also known as a   "seed", or "egg of creation". The embryo, Collins imagines   to be "a large conical-shaped omphalos or ben-ben stone, plausibly a   crystal-like structure...", And the Iht-relics, "smaller-, hand-held   sacred stones, or crystals..." This is such a similar idea to the ‘Ark’   of the American Indians (see  item 25), that it implies a 2012 connection. This   connection HAS been made… by  Nigel Appleby….       
   
       
   
Nigel   Appleby simultaneously (but   perhaps not as independently as he'd have us believe), came to the same conclusion as   Collins, (there has been  controversy about Appleby's book, but we need not   discuss that here), after studying the Edfu Texts, though he differs in his prediction of   the Hall’s location. Since the Giza pyramids correspond to the belt of   Orion, if the image of the Orion constellation was superimposed onto the   pyramids, the position of Sirius will overlay the Hall of Records. Appleby   concluded from his study of the Edfu Texts,    that the Hall of Records is a central chamber surrounded by 12 others,   and even conjectured that the central chamber contains a small pyramid, as   opposed to just a pyramidion, or capstone. Inside should be information   concerning the history of mankind, and, says Appleby, crucial information to   prepare us for 2012, when he says the “fifth age of man”, will begin.      
   
                                                           
            
   
        
The plan of Appleby's "Operation   Hermes" team, to survey the proposed site,  was announced in   the  Sunday Times, 10/8/97   
   
Appleby   has provided the next two items as  evidence   that it is 2012 that the Hall of Records is to prepare us for.       
   
           
   
   
The   Return of Nibiru. Appleby   quotes the  Washington Post (30/12/83), and Newsweek (13/7/87), that  Nibiru (“a      heavenly body possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter”) has been   spotted by the IRAS satellite in the direction of Orion and, says Appleby, is   due to “become visible to Earth and appear as a new star, sometime    between   2012 and 2036 ”. However, it is now near the size of the Earth, since it   broke in two, as described in Babylonian myths, (this somewhat contradicts the   NASA statement about it being the size of Jupiter!) Thus, any cataclysms as it   comes close to Earth again, will be less severe than previous ones.   The websites covering Nibiru are many and varied - here are 4 that say it will   return in 2012:
