作者致中文讀者序 A Few Words to the People of Taiwan;
New evidence, from old sites, is emerging to show that ancient that ancient civilisations were more advance than we are today, intellectually, technologically, and spiritually. It is as though a veil of darkness fell upon mankind, at the time of the deluge, some 5,000 years ago; stealing away our vision, disabling our senses, and quenching our spirituality. Despite this, enlightend individuals, with super undersatanding and super-human ablities have, from time to time, been born into the world, teaching mankind the ancient mysteries of the Universe. We have examined their works thorougly but have failed to grasp the true meaning of their message, which they concealed in their treasures, safe from those who might not believe, and yet accessible to those who believe, who instinctively know that there is more to this life than what we see around us.
When reading this book you will be amazed at the pictures you see before you. They are incerdible, there is no doubt about this. You will be astonished. At times you will be consumed with breathitaking admiration for the works of Lord Pacal, the priest/king leader, the mind behind the legacy of the Maya.
I will open a window into a magical garden, and you will see things you have never seen before, never imagined before, and never considered before. I have unlocked the mysteries of yesterday and will show you the wisdom of tomorrow.
I hope this book encourages all of you, who have questions, to solve your own mysteries. As the scient Immanuel Velikovsky once noted; ....science lies before us like a great uncharted ocean, and we have not sailed very far from the coast of ignorance. You are not latecomers for whom no fundamentals are left to discover. Don’t be afraid to face facts, and never lose your ability to ask the questions Why? and How?. Be in this like a child....all fruitful ideas have been conceived in the minds of non-conformists, for whom the known was still the unknown, and who often went back to begin where others passed by, sure of their way. Always remember, the truth of today yesterday’.
Maurice M. Cotterell
作者致中文讀者序（譯）親愛的台灣讀者：
根據幾處古文明遠址所發掘出的最新線索，顯示古代人的文明程度還遙遙領先我們，無論是在知識、科技、或心靈方面皆然。在距今約五千年所發生的大洪水（譯註：參閱《創世紀》的「挪亞方舟事件」），開啟了人類的「黑暗時代」；因為這不僅讓我們短視近利、麻木不仁，甚且道德淪喪。值此蒙塵之際，所幸高人輩出，挾其曠世大能來為世人指點迷津，分別在不同的文化層扮演啟蒙導師的關鍵角色。儘管我們對這幾位先知的話語耳熟能詳，卻往往以文書義，未能得其精髓。這些價值連城的文明瑰寶還黯然的幽居在地球某處偏遠角落，外人不得其門而入；而前輩之所以不願輕率的將之公諸於世，是擔心「所託非人」。
當你展開本書時，不免會對一幅幅的神祕圖片嘖嘖稱奇。這是「靈異照片」不僅讓你我大開眼界，說不定還讓好幾個人跌破眼鏡。訝異之餘，又不禁對帕卡國王肅然起敬；在「政教合一」馬雅殿堂中，此人正是如假包換的精神領袖。
藉由本人的獨特解碼手法，將帶領你跨入一座神祕花園；除了大飽眼福之外，更能滿足你的想像力。鑑往知來，我們並打算在古文明的國度留連忘返，而是要引導你去預測未來人類文明的面面觀。
倘若你對大自然的奧祕充滿幻想，渴望尋求突破，我希望能藉此書幫你開啟這扇神祕之鑰。最後我引述一則俄國科學艾曼勒．維勒斯基（Immanuel Velikovsky）的談話，「.....如果將科學領域比喻成一片沒有航圖的汪洋，那我們所搭乘的破船才剛剛啟航，而先前所停泊的港口就名之曰『無知港』。倘若你對此嗤之以鼻，這種反應也很正常。朋友們，我們應該勇於面對現實，不恥下問，就當自己是三歲小孩......所有人類史上的重要發現，幕後舵手都是那些不甘寂寞的好奇寶寶。對這些呆子來說，『真理』跟『假設』沒有太大差別，橫豎他們都還是會去翻舊帳。千萬別忘了一點，那就是今日的真知灼見，在昨日可能還難登大雅之堂。」
《譯者序》演不完的X檔案 相傳有個江洋大盜在伏法後接受審判。閻王以其惡行重大，將他打入十八層地獄。他隨即被牛頭、馬面押去坐電梯，直奔B18的牢房。他在那裡愈想就愈嘔捶胸頓足，沒想到卻引來鄰居的抗議。
「喂，老兄，你在發飆？我的天花板還要耶。」
咦，聲音怎麼是從地板所傳上來的？難不成還有B19？是停車場嗎？
「錯了。我以前是個老師，因為誤人子弟，結果被送到這間貴賓房。」
每年清明節掃墓時，總會看到一排字海：「安息主懷」、「望主再來」、「榮歸天家」。我頓時納悶不已，腦海中開始浮現許多問題。 ．若真有前世今生，那我們在銜接的那段時間要下榻何處？ ．這座「過境旅館」，亦即俗稱的冥界，是否真有那麼可怕？ ．我們在check in的時候，是否可選房間？（天堂、地獄、枉死城．．．） ．所謂的「主」，所指的是耶酥、王帝、阿拉，還是何方神聖？若是沒有宗教信仰，是否還能接受「造物者」的觀念？還有，這些神明會不會是同一個人？ ．「人」與「神」的分別何在？《聖經》並非一部神話故事，而中國的黑白兩道自古以來都祭拜關公，甚至連「十八王公廟」都有其典故。莫非只要今生的考績能達到一定水準，就不必再check in？ ．要怎樣才能畢業？多積陰德？還是修路建橋？沒錢怎麼辦？ ．我們掛掉的時候，究竟算是check in還是check out？ ．這麼說來，死亡也不是很可怕囉？
上述這些問題，都能在《地球毀滅密碼》這本書中，找到令你滿意的答覆。
不可諱言的，類似「世界末日說」的聳動言論向來是極具爭議性。信徒為之著迷不已，甚至甘願千里迢迢的趕赴升天；批判者則斥之為怪力亂神，認為僅是神棍詐財的一齣猴劇。在這種兩極化的亢奮情緒下，吾人實在很難以健康而環保的角度把脈；於是乎就像「盲人摸象」的故事一樣，我們要怎麼出擊也都抓不到要害。
何不踩著前輩的肩膀來偷瞄一下呢？有道是「欲窮千里目，更上一層樓」。
我們終於有這個機會來登上瞭望台，不再侷限於這個時空的彈丸之地。我們的視野將能衝破文明斷層，直逼宇宙的娘家。我們將明白全能的造物者，何以要創造這麼不完美的人類？一旦知悉地球村的命運後，你我會更加珍惜所託，才不枉走這麼一回。
不過當你大徹大悟之後，腦海中將浮現更多的問號，就如同演不完的「X檔案」.......
