The veritable Pathway represents vanishing into the Nothnik, into Infinity. If you knew Me, you would forskae even the Sun." Eleazar Harash ... |

Но дали последният ден в този календар е денят на Страшния съд или бележи началото на нов цикъл и обозначава пространствено-времевия портал, през който ни предстои да прекрачим към нов живот и нови светове на възможности?
