Biography:Tony Shearer
From HandWiki
Tony Shearer (born Fred Anthony Shearer October 27, 1926, Colorado, d. May 2002) was an American Mayanism proponent and New Age author. His work contributed to the modern popularization of syncretic beliefs based on Maya calendrics and the purported significance of dates in August 1987 and December 2012.[1] Shearer withdrew from a promising career in conventional broadcast journalism in the 1960s in order to investigate the meaning of life, leading him to research and experience beliefs and practices of Mesoamericans, both ancient and modern.[2]
