"Explore The Prophecies Of The Mayan Astronomers!" - Garry Dymond

Visit the Classic Mayan cities of Uxmal, Chichen Itza, Tikal, and Palenque to discover how the Maya aligned their temples to watch their sky gods and used interlocking calendars to record the past and predict the future. Explore pyramids towering above the rainforest, designed as observatories to follow the sun. Experience the apocalypse of the Maya and discover how our fate in 2012 may be foretold in Mayan Prophecies.

Please Note: Meetings normally take place on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, September to June.
