Om bidragsyterne

Manda Scott first came across the phenomenon of the crystal skulls while studying shamanic dreaming in the early 1980s. Since then she has met with teachers and healers from tribal nations across the world. She has learned that the ancient Maya were astoundingly accurate astronomers, and believes that we should take their prediction that the world will end on 21 December 2012 very seriously indeed. A veterinary surgeon by training, she has also written the bestselling Boudica quartet of novels which are available as Bantam paperbacks.
