| Just as the earth’s spin on its axis causes day and night and our planet’s annual orbit around the Sun is responsible for the ongoing cycle of the seasons, what if there is some greater celestial cycle, lasting thousands of years, slowly influencing the rise and fall of civilization across the globe? Where is the evidence? What could be the cause?To many ancient cultures, the answers lie in the stars. In their view, time moved in a cyclical pattern, with human civilzation and consciousness rising and falling as great ages came and went. To the ancient Mayans, we are entering the time of the Fifth Sun; Hindu and Vedic scholars spoke of the Yuga Cycle, a great circular progression of ages; and in Ancient Greece, Plato taught of a large cycle of time whihc would slowly return us to a “Golden Age”. He called this cycle The Great Year.
The Great Year investigates the common trhead in these beliefs and looks back into time seeking answers to the questions that still loom over science today. How far back into history do humankind’s roots really go? What did the ancients know about the stars and their movements and what can we learn from them? How was the Preccession of the Equinox, the slow progression of the stars across the sky over thousands of years, used to mark the rise and fall of these great ages by the ancients? Many cultures spoke of an unseen sun that drives Precession and causes the cycle of this Great Year. Could there be an unseen binary partner to our Sun? The Great Year examines this theory and finds that perhaps these ancients were really onto something!
