Adrian Gilbert attended St Edmunds College, one of the oldest post-reformation, Catholic boarding schools in Britain. He then attended the University of Kent at Canterbury for an Honours degree in Chemistry. Once there he very quickly realized that, philosophically speaking, modern science is founded on quicksand. This only sharpened his appetite for the ultimate knowledge: to know who we are, where we come from and what is our purpose in life.

In quest of the answers to these burning questions, he became more and more interested in philosophy and eastern religions. Following a profound mystical experience, he lost what little interest he still had in Natural Science. His life is now totally focused on finding practical techniques for self-transformation. In 1992 Adrian met up with Robert Bauval and together they wrote what was to become an international best seller: The Orion Mystery. This was followed by The Mayan Prophecies, Magi, The Holy Kingdom, and, most recently Signs in the Sky.

Gilbert delved into Mayan prophecies, Stargates and cosmic cycles. He noted that Mayan monuments often had dates on them that reference either the far past or the distant future, which led him to believe that they were cognizant of longer cycles that the Earth passes through.

Indeed, the end of the Mayan calendar in December 2012 corresponds with the complex astronomical cycle of procession, Gilbert said, and he theorized that they may have gained knowledge of this through their shamanistic practices. The date in 2012 signifies the end of an age, which the Mayans believed typically came with a cataclysm. Gilbert suggested that such a time could be a graduation day for the human race. While there likely would be a calamity, if you believe, youre spirit—its just a transformation, he proffered.

Gilbert also spoke about the notion of stargates, which he associates with two points in the sky, one over the hand of Orion and the other over the sting of Scorpio...in the center of our galaxy. In the year 2000 he took a group of people to Egypt to witness the opening of one of the stargates, which marked a time frame he associates with the beginning of the Tribulation as written about in the Book of Revelations.
