Maurice Cotterell's background as a scientist, mathematician, and engineer helped him to decipher the code of the ancient Maya, revealing the mystery of their science and religion to an extent never before possible. His extensive research revealed that both the ancient Egyptians and the Maya possessed a sophisticated understanding of sun spot activity and other astronomical phenomena.

In 1989 engineer and scientist Maurice Cotterell found a way of calculating the duration of long-term magnetic reversals on the Sun. Using this knowledge he was able to break the codes of ancient sun-worshipping civilisations, first the Mayas of Central America and then those of Tutankhamun of Egypt.

His research explains how the Sun affects fertility in women, how it determines personality of the foetus in the womb (astrology) and how it regulates menstruation. It explains how the Sun causes schizophrenia, how overhead power lines cause cancer and how VDUs (TV and computer screens) cause miscarriages and it explains how the Sun brings periodic catastrophic destruction to earth every few thousand years.

His own unique decoding process reveals amazing pictures from archaeological treasures that explain the spiritual mysteries of life; why we are born, why we die and why this has to be. His work, best described as ‘adventure fact’ brings together modern science, spirituality and ancient wisdom to unlock the secrets of the past, the present and the future.
