Patrick Geryl & Gino Ratinckx are two Belgian co-authors of a work^[066] which announced that in 2012 a magnetic pole reversal will suddenly occur causing worldwide catastrophes. Geryl

Patrick Geryl

is a researcher and Ratinckx an archaeoastronomer. They claim that their prediction is based on the writings of the Maya and the ancient Egyptians, whose ancestors they maintain came from Atlantis, which now lies beneath the ice of Antarctica following an earlier pole reversal in 9792 BC. Geryl has gone on to write two further books^[067][068] on the forthcoming 2012 disasters and in preparation for it, have purchased property in South Africa where they together with a chosen few, hope to survive their predicted calamities. Geryl maintains a website^(a) where he promotes his theories and related books. One sceptic makes the pointed prediction that the sale of Geryl’s books will plummet in 2013^(b) , while another refers to the 2012 hoax^(c).
