This book SEEMS like a hoax. The basic premise is that an old Hopi has revealed the secrets of his tribe for the world - a prophecy of the end of the current scheme of things blah blah blah.

One fatal mistake was to quote this thousand year old prophecy as predicting that "when the carriages run without horses and a web is stretched over the world ... such and such will happen" First off, a thousand years ago there were no horses in the Americas - period. That word would not have been in their vocabulary! I'm a Mormon, and I still don't believe anything this book purports!

Save yourself some time and read a real book on Hopi culture, and you will gain a better understanding on their view of the world, where it is now, where it was and where they think it will be going in the future.
