Product Description
Best selling author Thomas Horn had been wrestling with certain images and enigmatic information for years having to do with the beliefs of an Occult Elite pertaining to the return of a pagan deity, which they believe will rule a final earthly empire. The Bible identifies this personality as the Antichrist. But now things were making sense to Thomas world affairs, changes to U.S. domestic and foreign policy, a renewed focus on the Middle East, Israel, Iran, Iraq, Babylon and he found it astonishing. The words, deeds, gestures and coded language of the worlds most powerful men were clearly pointing to an ancient, prophetic, cryptic and even terrifying reality. What even the best researchers of the Illuminati and veiled fraternities such as the Freemasons were never able to fully decipher is spelled out herein for the first time. The power at work behind global affairs and why current planetary powers are hurriedly aligning for a New Order from Chaos is exposed. Perhaps most incredibly, one learns how ancient prophets actually foresaw and forewarned of this time. Thomas believes this New World Order is very near.

 RESEARCHER REVEALS DEEPEST SECRETS OF YEAR 2012 December 2, 2009
Nita Horn (Portland, OR)
45 out of 48 found this review helpful
This book was released to follow the hotly anticipated disaster movie "2012", which started worldwide theatrical release November 13. NASA's senior scientist for its Astrobiology Institute, David Morrison in a Skeptic Magazine article responded angrily recently to the film's viral marketing campaign, saying it exploits people's fears about the end of the Mayan "long count" calendar, Dec. 21, 2012, as leading to global catastrophe. This comes despite the fact that in 2006, NASA published a report of its own by Mausumi Dikpati of the National Center for Atmospheric Research on what could be the most apocalyptic solar storm since records began approximately four hundred years ago, scheduled to reach solar maximum in the year 2012.
According to internationally recognized researcher and author of Apollyon Rising 2012: The Lost Symbol Found and the Final Mystery of the Great Seal Revealed, Thomas Horn, the biggest secrets related to the year 2012 and the so-called 'new order of the ages' have been hidden in plain sight for over two-hundred years in Washington DC and at the Vatican. That secret has to do with what numerous ancient societies (and there were plenty according to Horn) believed about this year--that it forecast when "the gods" would return to earth, heralding the start of a new pagan golden age.
"From Christians to New Agers, skeptics to historians, the world is presently enthralled with the meaning of the year 2012," Horn says. "In general, the excitement [or dread, as the case may be] surrounds a variety of predictions made by ancient and modern sources concerning a portentous moment in time. Mankind is on course toward unprecedented global upheaval, according to these experts, when the earth and all life on it will undergo transformation marked by the end of the thirteenth baktun of the Mesoamerican Mayan Long Count. "
The exact end date of the Mayan calendar is December 21, 2012, when during the winter solstice at 11:11 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) the sun will align with the galactic center of the Milky Way galaxy, an event that occurs only every thirteen thousand years. The precession of the equinoxes will conclude a twenty-six-thousand-year cycle, bringing the astrological Age of Pisces to an end and introducing the beginning of Aquarius, when the next cycle begins and the sun rises out of the mouth of the Ouroboros (great serpent of the Milky Way).
"This is the sun rising in Sagittarius, the centaur with a bow--the symbol for Nimrod coming out from the mouth of Leviathan and the sun `god' rising again--Nimrod/Osiris/Apollo," Horn adds.
Like the Aztec and Inca, the Maya believed earth seasons and celestial cycles were affected by otherworldly and prophetic importance. Mayan priests interpreted such activity and coupled it with the mathematics of their calendars, making predictions based on the terrestrial and celestial cycles.
So far, the only known Mayan inscription that elaborates on the specific significance behind the end of the thirteenth baktun--December 21, 2012--was discovered on Monument 6 at Tortuguero, in Tabasco, Mexico. Though defaced from area construction and previous looting of the archaeological location, scholars were able to partially translate the monument, finding that it refers to a year 2012 return of Bolon Yokte K'u, the underworld lord who represents the solar system and his nine support gods.
The Maya were not alone among ancient cultures in this knowledge, says Horn. For instance, the Hindu Kali Yuga calendar started approximately during the Mayan Fifth Great Cycle and also predicts global earth changes around the year 2012. The Cherokee Indians likewise viewed the date 2012 as significant. The "Cherokee Rattlesnake Prophecies," also known as the "Chickamaugan Prophecy" or the "Cherokee Star Constellation Prophecies," are part of a series of apocalyptic prophecies made by members of the Cherokee tribe during 1811-1812. The prophecies are very similar to Mesoamerican belief, and are viewed by scholars as likely referring to the return of the feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl in the year 2012. Like the Maya, the Cherokee calendar ends mysteriously in the year 2012 when astronomical phenomena related to Jupiter, Venus, Orion, and Pleiades cause the "powers" of the star systems to "awaken." These nearly 200-year old prophecies conclude with, "And the Cherokee calendar shall end in the year 2012...[with] the coming of the Pale One once again."
Much of the published work by Horn in Apollyon Rising 2012 seems to be unprecedented in the 2012 research community. For instance his shocking revelation that the "Vaera" section of the Zohar--a collection of books written in medieval Aramaic over seven hundred years ago--includes "The signs heralding Mashiach," or "The coming of the Messiah" with the fascinating date for "his" appearance set in late 2012.
But of all such disclosures, it is the layout of Washington DC, the "secrets of the Capitol Dome" as Horn calls them, and especially the Great Seal of the United States and its direct connection to the year 2012 that most will find fascinating.
For instance, Horn provides evidence that early Freemasons and those working with them were aware of the Mesoamerican belief system and the calendar ending date of 2012, actually incorporating it directly into the design of the Capital Dome in Washington DC, as can be vividly observed in the commissioned artwork of Constantino Brumidi.
Horn provides other surprising connections to the year 2012 in the Capitol Dome and structures immediately surrounding D.C., ultimately laying the groundwork for what he calls "the true lost symbol, which Dan Brown completely missed." This symbol is connected to the Capitol Dome as the ancient structural representation of the womb of Isis, and the Obelisk, the ancient representation of the erect male phallus of Osiris. How this is connected to the year 2012 and the return of Osiris/Apollo/Nimrod in Apollyon Rising 2012 is disturbing, especially the magic square in the base of the Washington Monument that "binds" the Bible's influence.
Another remarkable connection between the founding of the United States and the Mayan end date 2012 in Horn's research is that the Maya themselves recognized a link between the number thirteen and the years 1776 and 2012 in cycles and illustrations in a way that academic Richard N. Luxton found to be similar to prophecies of the "Christian Last Judgment." Luxton translated and annotated The Book of Chumayel: The Counsel Book of the Yucatec Maya 1539-1638.
Religious ceremonies and prophecies accompanied Mayan katuns, and Luxton's connection to the "Christian Last Judgment" and the thirteen katuns (a katun is approximately 19.7 years) between 1776 and 2012 is drawn from the prophecies of the Mayan prophet Chilam Balam. Written down in about the year 1595, the oracular Chilam Balam, or "jaguar" shaman, said the end of this period would witness the judgment of God in the form of social collapse, epidemics, plagues, and famine.
Horn concludes that 1776 was not only an important year in American History, but a clock ticking downward 13 cycles of time ending in the year 2012. This is when a prophecy (richly detailed in this new book) encoded on the Great Seal about the return of Osiris/Apollo may be fulfilled, and a new pagan age begins. In Apollyon Rising 2012, Horn discusses how this god (Apollo) is identified in several places in the New Testament as the "spirit" that will inhabit Antichrist and give rise to the novus ordo seclorum or "new order of the ages," exactly what the Maya, Toltec, Aztec, Cherokee and others said will occur in the year 2012.
Consequently, NASA may be right. 2012 may not represent the end of the world. It may signal the beginning of the end.

It seems that the pagans have something interesting in store for us December 26, 2009
Searching for what the Bible actually says

Though the summary of Freemason symbolism and its influence on the United States was very interesting, the most important part of the book to me was the tying together of the same basic message from every major pagan system out there (Freemasons, Aztecs, Mayans, Egyptian mythology, Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Babylonian mythology, Sumerian mythology): 2012 is the climax they've been looking forward to since the beginning of civilization. Prepare to have you mind blown.
The symbol that Dan Brown missed December 15, 2009

Thomas Horn methodically dissects and analyzes the occult symbolism built into the layout, architecture, and artwork of Washington, D.C. and the Great Seal of the United States, concluding that 18th century Freemasons were aware of and influenced by such varied sources as the ancient prophecies of Apollonian sibyls, Egyptian mysticism, Sir Francis Bacon's utopian novel 'The New Atlantis', and the Mayan/Incan calendar.
With all due respect to the reviewer who found this book to be a rehash of previously researched material, Horn's analysis of the Mayan and Incan calendars in the context of the Freemasonic symbolism suffusing Washington, D.C. leads him to a startling conclusion: the purpose of the layout of Washington, and especially the Capitol dome and the obelisk of the Washington Monument, is to effect a magickal "working" that occultists believe will result in the rebirth of a golden child -- Apollo/Osiris/Marduk/Nimrod -- who will herald the return of his father Saturn's reign.
Highly recommended.

I got this book about one month ago and read it the moment it arrived from Amazon. I was STUNNED at the depth of research Mr. Horn presented! I have every one of Tom Horn's books and bar-none, this one is his masterpiece. I decided to read it a second time last week and I got so much more detail that time around. You just can't get everything presented here in only one quick read, trust me on this. This book will upset Evangelical Christians (of which I am one) preconceived views that our founding fathers established America to be a Christian nation. That was hard to digest but Mr. Horn quotes from the documents these men themselves penned. Mr. Horn also nailed the hidden meanings of the symbols of freemasonry, something Dan Brown completely missed in his book The Lost Symbol, originally titled The Lost Key of Solomon by the way. Though Dan Brown's book is fiction based on (some) facts, Tom Horn's book is not fiction and is based on hard and provable evidence. Buy an extra copy to loan out because after you've read this you won't want to part with your copy. It's that good!
This book is nothing short of essential December 26, 2009

"Something this way wicked comes," writes the author in describing the future for America and the world. The line is from Shakespeare's Macbeth, in which a witch pronounces Macbeth a traitor and a murderer. But Shakespeare's darkest literary revelation can't begin to rival the ominous unveiling Tom Horn performs in Apollyon Rising 2012: The Lost Symbol Found and the Final Mystery of the Great Seal Revealed.
This is no play dreamed up by the Bard. There is, in reality, indeed something wicked headed in this direction. Apollyon Rising forewarns of its approach in a way totally unique in my experience as a writer/researcher of matters involving eschatology--the study of end times. I sense that Horn's book is destined to garner great interest from all quarters of the halls of intellectual curiosity, not just from those fascinated with Bible prophecy or prophecy in general.
The author tells of awakening one night in a swirl of epiphany, his hours of research congealing into the realization that specific, controlled versions of American history had kept him "in the dark, blinded from the actual course that a frightening network of hidden powers had set our nation upon years before."
Suddenly, Horn relates, "pieces of the puzzle began rapidly falling into place. Things were making sense now--world affairs, changes to U.S. domestic and foreign policy, a renewed focus on the Middle East, Israel, Iran, Iraq, [and] Babylon..."
The preface to Horn's book states the end to his long-time skepticism of conspiratorial claims of the dark forces shaping and molding America's and the world's geopolitical configuration for the future course of history. He then writes:
As outlined in this book, the startling truths behind the clandestine society that helped frame the United States and placed within the Great Seal a prophetic secret doctrine can finally be understood. What even the best researchers of the Illuminati and veiled fraternities such as the Freemasons were never able to fully decipher is spelled out herein for the first time. The power at work behind global affairs and why current planetary powers are hurriedly aligning for a new order from chaos is exposed. Perhaps most incredibly, one learns how ancient prophets actually foresaw and forewarned of this time.
My reading confirms for me the truth of this declaration. Like Horn, I have always been leery of conspiratorial thought with regard to caliginous cabals shaping the destiny of man. The author's truly unprecedented look into the spiritual influences upon the world--and particularly on America's founding and course since--points to the truth in God's Word, the Bible, that the struggle is against supernatural wickedness in high places.
The author's in-depth treatment brilliantly illuminates the evil involved in a devilish master plan rooted in ancient times and becoming ever more manifest in this troubled hour. Reading Apollyon Rising exposes the supernatural as well as humanistic blueprint intended to corrupt mankind as was done in antediluvian times.
Tom Horn's book is not a casual read, but one that is an absolute must for understanding what is going on in this perplexing, even frightening, time in history. Each reading unfolds new layers of enlightenment on where it is all leading, and what to do about it from a personal perspective.
This book is nothing short of essential, in my view.
