Messages From The Past!
In beginning our exploration of the concept that a large 'celestial object' passes the Earth periodically affecting our planet's rotation in space, reaping havoc and destruction in its wake, we must ask ourselves if any ancient civilizations ever recorded such an event in the distant past. Surely if such catastrophic events have taken place on Earth before, ancient civilizations would have left a historic record of these events in their 'written histories' and 'oral traditions that have been handed down to us through the ages.
As we will soon discover, almost every civilization from the ancient world has left us historic records/legends detailing cataclysmic events that have periodically visited the Earth. Throughout these historical records there are numerous accounts of entire civilizations, vast island regions, even whole continents that have been suddenly and violently destroyed by periodic global cataclysms. Often these ancient accounts mention an altering of our planet's rotation as a strange 'celestial comet' is simultaneously seen hovering in the skies.
There is an old saying,"To learn about your future you need only study your past." Let us now take a look at some of these ancient cataclysmic accounts in order to understand what they might tell us about the near future.
Solon, Atlantis and The Ancient Egyptians!
Atlantis, the 'lost continent'-its very name conjures up mysterious and legendary visions of a civilization that long ago vanished beneath the ocean waves. Whether Atlantis existed or not is beyond the scope of this document, what has been recorded about the destruction of Atlantis however, is important for us to briefly examine.
Solon was a Greek historian, philosopher and statesmen, who lived in Athens between 639-559 BC, a little over 2500 years ago and was credited with being the wisest of the 'seven sages' of Ancient Greece.' It is from the writings of Solon (and his interactions with the ancient Egyptians) that the first historical accounts of world cataclysms, including the destruction of Atlantis comes to us through the ages.
While on an extended stay in Egypt, Solon had many opportunities to study and learn from its priests. Ancient Egypt was a very advanced culture for its day and history has documented many reek scholars who traveled to Egypt in order to study in their temples.
On one such visit, the Egyptian priests conveyed to Solon the following story of the demise of Atlantis and the 'recurring' cataclysm that caused it:
”Solon, Solon, you Hellenes (Greeks) are but children. There is no old doctrine handed down among you by ancient traditions or any science, which is hoary with age, and I will tell you the reason behind this.There have been and will be again, many destruction's of mankind out of many causes, the greatest having been brought about by 'earth-fire' and , inundation.' Whereas you (the Greeks) and other nations did not keep imperishable records of Atlantis we (the Egyptians) did. And then, after a long period of time, the 'usual inundation' visits (the Earth) like a pestilence and leaves only those of you who are destitute of letters and education. And thus you have to 'begin over again as children' and know nothing of what happened in ancient times either among us or among yourselves (about Earth's history.”
Solon then went on to share with the Egyptian priests his knowledge of Greek history (including their account of the great flood), to which the Egyptians replied:
"As for those genealogies of yours which you have related to us, they are no better than tales of children, for in the first place, you remember one deluge (inundation) only, whereas there were a number of them. And in the next place there dwelt in your land, which you do not know, the fairest and noblest race of men that ever lived of which you (the Greeks) are but a seed or remnant. And you did not know this because for many generations the survivors of that (last) destruction made no records.'"
In other words, what the ancient Egyptian priests were telling the Greek historian Solon was that many civilizations throughout the history of our planet have been 'wiped out' by a recurring catastrophe. These civilization-ending cataclysms not only destroyed many ancient cultures, but their written records and recorded history as well-forcing them to literally "start over again as children." This destruction of past civilizations and their 'recorded histories' is one of the main reasons why our "modern-day" society has so little remembrance of these past global cataclysms.
The Egyptians then went on to tell Solon about one such destroyed civilization called Atlantis, which at one time was a series of magnificent islands that sat in the Atlantic ocean, out beyond the pillars of Hercules (the Straits of Gibraltar). The priests said that the Atlanteans had become a rich and powerful civilization, but their success had made them arrogant and war-like. The Atlanteans started to systematically invade the other cultures of the Mediterranean and at one time had extended their advances to the very borders of Egypt itself.
But then the "usual inundation" struck the Earth, involving great earthquakes and floods. With little warning, Atlantis was engulfed by the ravages of the ocean, slipping beneath the waves never to be seen or heard from again!
The Egyptian priests, surprised by Solon's ignorance of the destruction of Atlantis went on to say:
The catastrophe must have escaped the notice of future generations because as a result of the devastation, for many generations, the survivors died with no power to express themselves in writing.'
These ancient Egyptian priests also related to Solon that the destruction of Atlantis took place 'violently' and 'suddenly' as in a 'fortnight':
"The islands disappeared! All disappeared, due to earthquakes and floods in a 'grievous day and night."
The accounts of Solon and the demise of Atlantis are not the only ancient records of massive cataclysms that the Egyptians have left us. In 1828, the Museum of Leiden in the Netherlands, obtained a copy of an ancient text known as the Ipuwer Papyrus.' This text describes a massive cataclysm that struck Egypt thousands of years ago and sent this remarkably organized civilization into total disarray.
Some excerpts from the Ipuwer Papyrus are as follows:
"Plague is throughout the land .... blood is everywhere. The land turns round [over] as does a potter's wheel .. Earth turned upside down ... land upside down. Human beings thirst after water ...what shall we do? All is ruin."
"Cattle are left to stray, and there is none to gather them together ... trees are destroyed .. .no fruits, no herbs are found ... grain has perished on every side ... that has perished which yesterday was seen. The land is left to its weariness like the cutting of flax. Gates, columns, and walls are consumed by fire. The sky is in confusion ... and the fire ran along upon the ground. Lower Egypt weeps ... the towns are destroyed.. Upper Egypt has become waste ... all is ruin. The residence is overturned in a minute."
A.. H. Gardiner, in his book Admonitions of an Egyptian Sage from a Hieratic Papyrus in Leiden; states: "It is not merely local disturbance that is here described, but a great and overwhelming national disaster."
What type of extreme geophysical event could have lead to such a massively destructive situation? When this ancient manuscript says that the Earth 'turned upside down' and that the 'sky was in confusion' --could it be referring to a time when the Earth altered its rotation in space? Whatever geologic catastrophe the Ipuwer Papyrus is describing, laid waste to an entire nation, destroying its cities, agriculture and even its very infrastructure.
In reality, ancient Egypt went through not one, but several total collapses of its civilization throughout its long history. Each one of these collapses was so severe that it took the Egyptian civilization hundreds of years to recover.
A tablet was found at El Arish, a monument erected in ancient times between Judea and Egypt. On this tablet was inscribed a hieroglyphic message referring to a time when a great geologic disaster struck ancient Egypt. The tablet read:
”The land (Egypt) was in great affliction, evil fell upon the Earth ... there was a great upheaval in all the residence ... nobody could leave the palace during the nine days of upheaval. There was such a tempest that neither men nor gods could see the faces of those beside them.”
Other cultures have also recorded great cataclysms striking ancient Egypt in the past. Certain legends of the Old Testament known as the Ginsberg's Legends state:
”An exceedingly strong wind endured seven days. On the fourth, fifth and sixth day, the darkness was so dense that they (the people of Egypt) could not stir from their places. The darkness was of such a nature that it could not be dispelled by artificial means. The light of the fire was either extinguished by the violence of the storm, or else it was made invisible and swallowed up in the density of the darkness (possibly due to volcanic ash or blowing dust). Nothing could be discerned ... none were able to speak or hear, thus they remained overwhelmed by the affliction."
Once again, we must ask ourselves what type of massive disaster could have caused such physical disruption to strike ancient Egypt? The answer is actually handed down to us by the ancient Egyptians themselves.The ancient Egyptians steadfastly maintained that these 'periodic' planetary catastrophes involved, or where associated with, a 'shifting' of the Earth's rotation in space.
Over two thousand years ago the noted Greek historian Herodotus reported:
”The scribes of Egypt maintained that 'four times' the Earth in its movements reversed itself so that the Sun shifted and rose where it formerly set, and set where it formerly rose."
The Latin author Pomponius Mela, from the first century wrote:
”The Egyptians pride themselves on being the most ancient people in the world. In their authentic annals ... one may read that since they have been in existence, the course of the stars has changed direction 'four' times, and that the Sun has set twice in the part of the sky where it now rises today.”
Keep in mind that as the Earth alters its axis of rotation, it looks (to an observer standing on the Earth), like the Sun and stars have changed their direction of travel. In reality, it's not the stars that have changed direction, but the rotation of the planet itself.
There are many other examples indicating the ancient Egyptians believed the Earth has altered its rotation in the past. For example,the noted ancient Egyptian architect, 'Senmut,' had one-half of the ceiling of his tomb painted with the constellations as they appear today and the other half of the ceiling painted with the constellations in reverse, as they would have appeared before our planet's last pole shift. This is a strong piece of physical evidence suggesting that the ancient Egyptians truly believed the 'rotational axis' of the Earth has shifted in the past.
Other accounts from ancient Egypt talk about the Earth being plunged into "days of darkness" 14 and 15 "years of famine," Some of these ancient historic accounts also mention erratic movement of the Sun or Moon in the sky, followed by great 'quaking' of the Earth, once again indicating a shifting of our planet's axis of rotation.
Other ancient accounts recorded strange 'celestial objects' that appeared in the skies over Egypt-reaping havoc, chaos and misery across the land.
Pliney, the Elder, a first-century savant, wrote:
”A 'terrible comet' was seen by the people of Ethiopia and Egypt ... it had a fiery appearance and 'twisted like a coil' and it was very grim to behold. It was not really a 'star' so much as what might be called a ball of fire; it was not of fiery (color), but of 'bloody red.”
What type of strange 'red' celestial object could this ancient wise sage have been describing? Certainly nothing that has ever been seen in our skies during modern-day times!
Another ancient Greek returning from Egypt wrote:
”There appeared a 'comet' (in ancient times over Egypt) and there was a conflict between the forces of heaven and of Earth.”
Ancient Egyptian history clearly recalls a time (thousands of years ago) when the Earth shifted on its axis of rotation, causing great geological upheavals throughout the land. Could this shifting of our planet's rotation and the accompanying geophysical changes to Earth have been ultimately triggered by the passage of this 'terrible' red comet?
The ancient historian, Pliney the Elder, described this 'terrible comet' seen by the people of Ethiopia and Egypt saying it "twisted like a coil" in the sky. One could also say twisting like a 'snake' or a 'serpent' in the sky! !The Egyptians themselves actually left numerous depictions of a 'cosmic serpent' in their literature often depicted as 'flying' in the sky. The Egyptians attributed this image of a 'serpent in the sky' to the forces of universal destruction and chaos.
Could these Egyptian depictions of a 'cosmic serpent' have been a representation of the 'terrible comet' talked about so frequently by the historians of the ancient world?
In actuality, most ancient civilizations had an irrational fear of 'comets' or 'serpents in the sky.' These objects were universally seen as the harbingers of destruction and ruin. The question is why? As far as we know today, comets are merely dirty 'cosmic snowballs' that entail little to worry about. Did an ancient event involving an object (that at least looked ike a comet) once ravage these ancient cultures? Did this catastrophic event forever change the way ancient societies viewed these otherwise harmless objects? And could Wormwood's passing have caused those 'biblical miracles' to flow from the rod of Moses during the Jewish exodus from Egypt?
Many modern-day scholars have tried to dismiss these ancient accounts of 'terrible cornets' or 'serpents in the sky' as being meaningless mythology, silly legends or even fairy tales. But the ancient Egyptians and the other cultures around them, steadfastly maintained that these events actually happened and were an important part of their civilization's history.
As we shall see, many other ancient cultures also maintained similar 'historical accounts.'
The Ancient Greeks!
After many years of study in Egypt, the scholars of ancient Greece (such as Solon) began to piece together a better understanding of the true 'cataclysmic history' of Earth. Keep in mind that the people we think of as 'the ancient Greeks' were themselves relative newcomers to the ancient world. Once Greece matured as a nation, they left their own 'written accounts' of these past cataclysmic events. Like the ancient Egyptians, many of these Greek accounts involved great geologic upheavals caused by a 'shifting' or 'tipping' of the Earth's rotation in space.
"Of all the scholars and historians of ancient Greece, none were more famous that Plato. By the time of his death in 348 BC, he had recorded and preserved an impressive amount of ancient history. In his classic work, Timaeus, Plato describes a great cataclysm that took place in ancient times in which the Earth moved, "forwards and backwards, and again to right and left, and upwards and downwards, wandering every way in all six directions."
Plato was not describing a normal earthquake; for he goes on to say the destruction was so great throughout the world-that whole continents, such as Atlantis, sank beneath the sea in a catastrophic series of geophysical events. Plato also records a time when the Earth altered its rotation, rearranging the normal course of the heavens and causing great death and destruction throughout the world:
”The Sun and the stars once rose in the west and set in the east (the opposite of today) ... and of all changes of the heavenly motions, we may consider this to be the greatest and most complete ... and it may be supposed to result in the greatest changes to human beings who (were) the inhabitants of the world at that time .. few survivors of the race are (were) left."
In his famous work Politicus, Plato went on to say:
”I mean in the rising and settling of the Sun and other heavenly bodies, how in those times they used to set where they now rise and used to rise where they now set ... at certain periods the (Earth) has its present circular motion, and at other periods it revolves in the reverse direction ... of all the changes which take place in the heavens this reversal is the greatest and the most complete."
Other excerpts from Plato's Politicus talking about the prior destruction of mankind state:
"The world turning round with a sudden shock, having received an opposite impulse at both ends was shaken by a mighty earthquake, producing a new destruction of all manner.”
Like the ancient Egyptians, the ancient Greeks clearly describe several episodes in the past when the Earth altered its rotation, spinning on a new geographic axis and making it seem as if the heavens were moving differently. Many other ancient scholars also believed that the Earth's rotation had in fact shifted numerous times in the past. These same scholars believed that the passage of a large 'celestial object' was the actual cause of these rotational changes.
Well respected ancient scholars including Lydus, Servius, Hephaestion, and Junctinus all believed that the shifting of Earth's axis of rotation was brought about by the appearance of a large 'celestial object.' These ancient authors repeatedly mention a 'terrible comet' they called 'Typhon' which had a 'bloody' appearance in the sky and caused great destruction to Earth involving plagues, evils and hunger. The ancient Greek historian Plutarch, who also had direct contact with the priests of Egypt and had the opportunity to personally study at the great library of Alexandria believed that the ancient world had been 'repeatedly' thrown into chaos by the appearance of a large comet called Typhon also referred to as "the destructive, diseased and disorderly.
In his writings, Plutarch describes a time when the terrible comet Typhoon caused a shifting of the Earth's axis of rotation-resulting in a change of the Sun's normal celestial path and a permanent altering of the seasons. Plutarch states:
”The thickened air concealed the heaven(s) from view, and the stars were confused with disorderly huddle of fire and moisture and violent fluxions of winds. The Sun was not fixed to an unwandering and certain course,so as to distinguish orient and occident, nor did he (the Sun) bring back the seasons in order.”
The classical Greek writer, Hesiod, also described a great planetary conflagration and flood brought about thousands of years ago by the appearance of the celestial body known as Typhoon. The appearance of this terrible 'celestial object' cause the Earth to 'wobble' in a strange manner and ultimately shift its axis of rotation, causing great destruction and a total altering of the Earth's normal seasons. It is directly from this 'celestial object' known as Typhoon that we currently derive the word 'typhoon'-used to describe powerful and destructive tropical storms.
The ancient historian, Diodorus Siculus, who lived in the reign of Julius Caesar (between 60 and 30 BC) also recorded a time in the remote past when a terrible celestial object called 'Aegis' flew through the sky, raining fire upon the Earth, setting forests and cities ablaze from India to Europe." Could all of these noted historians have been wrong in reporting those same 'Earth changing' events in time? And why is it that mankind never seems to learn much from his past?
The ancient Greeks and Egyptians clearly possessed 'historical records' of several great cataclysms that struck our planet in the past. Cataclysms that were so severe, they altered the very rotation of the Earth; making the Moon, Sun and stars appear to move strangely in the sky.
”Was the passage of this 'bloody comet,' known as 'Typhoon' or 'Aegis,' the ultimate cause of these catastrophic changes to Earth? Could our society, with all of its modern technology, be largely ignorant of these ancient accounts, accounts that were at one time in our distant past considered common knowledge?”
If one reads the historic accounts that these ancient cultures have left us the answer is a resounding 'yes' on all accounts!
Once again, the ancient Greeks and Egyptians seem to indicate in their written histories that these catastrophes happened 'suddenly' and with little 'advance' warning. These catastrophes were cyclic in nature however, and happened on a fixed timetable, one that was predictable if a civilization's history could remain intact long enough to understand this great 'cosmic cycle' of destruction.
The Civilizations of South and Central America!
The Maya!
The Mayan civilization flourished in Central America for thousands of years. This advanced civilization was renown for its culture, art, architecture and astronomy. What were most important to the Maya, however, were astronomy and their understanding of the great 'destructive cycles' of Earth. In fact, the Maya were literally 'obsessed' with astronomy and the movements of planetary bodies. The famed/sacred 'Mayan Codex Calendar' for example, has astonished modern astronomers with its incredible celestial accuracy/sophistication of design.
In their book, The Mayan Prophecies, authors Adrian Gilbert and Maurice Cotterell, unlock many of the secrets of this lost civilization including their 'obsession' with astronomy and celestial mechanics.
Gilbert and Maurice go on to write:
”The Maya .... of Central America were very aware of the heavens around them and the movements of the planets. Often doorways or roof-combs, which are a particular feature of classic Maya temples, were placed in such a way that they could mark the rising, culmination or setting of particular stars. They were especially interested in the movements of the Pleiades star-cluster as well as those wandering planets Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter. Needless to say they made close observations of the Sun and Moon, and this enabled them to predict eclipses (incredibly) accurate.”
Did their flawless astronomy predict December 12 2012?
The Popul Vuh, one of the most sacred texts of the Maya, also recalls the sophistication of ancient Mayan astronomy. The Popul Vuh states:
”They (the ancient Maya) saw, and could see instantly far, they succeeded in knowing all that there is in the world (and in the heavens).When they looked, instantly they saw all around them and they contemplated in turn the 'arch of heaven' and the 'round face of the Earth.' The things hidden (in the distance) they saw all, without first having to move; at once they saw the world ... great was their wisdom/"
In other words, Mayan astronomers were so advanced, that even thousands of years ago they knew the "arch of heaven" (the curvature of space) and the "round face of the Earth.
Why were the ancient Maya so 'obsessed' with astronomy and the motions of the heavens? What information were they seeking--and why? Like the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, the Maya also recorded a cyclical cataclysm that revisits our planet on a 'regular' and 'predictable' timetable. By studying and keeping careful track of the celestial order of things, the Maya believed they could anticipate the next great global cataclysm. The Popul Vuh, the sacred text of the Mayan, also records a great disaster that struck the ancient Maya and involved a thick dust that fell night and day from heaven-darkening the Earth. This event was accompanied by great fires and tremendous earthquakes, from which only a few (men) escaped to tell about. These events subsequently prompted a 'great flood' that consumed the Earth.
The Popul Vuh goes on to say:
”They (the Maya) were inundated by a thick resin/dust that fell from the sky The face of the Earth was obscured and a rain of darkness began, raining day and night and there was a great din of fire above their heads. The men were seen running about, pushing themselves, full of despair; they tried to climb on top of their houses but the houses would collapse making them fall to the Earth; they tried to climb the trees but the trees would shake them far away, then they tried to enter the caves but the caves would close before them."
According to the Maya, their civilization recorded not 'one,' but 'four' of these great global cataclysms. Each one of these global catastrophes virtually 'wiped-out' the Mayan civilization, leaving only a tattered remnant to carry on and rebuild their society.
The Maya believed that each of these global cataclysms took place approximately four thousand years apart. As an interesting side note, the Maya also believed that the last world-ending catastrophe took place about four thousand years ago-and today, it appears we may be very close to yet another catastrophic event in 20l2! Hopefully, this global happening won't repeat itself in our lifetime-but if it does we owe it to ourselves to be ready/aware/prepared to cope!
In the conclusion of their book, Gilbert and Maurice summarized that the Maya believed Earth undergoes a periodic shifting in its geophysical poles, commonly known as a 'pole shift.' A 'pole shift' is a phenomenon wherein the planet tilts on its axis of rotation-like a spinning top that falls onto its side. These 'pole shifts' are accompanied by violent tectonic activity (earthquakes), volcanic eruptions, windstorms, global fires, floods and great hurricanes.
As the 'poles' of the Earth shift, the normal movement of the heavens also becomes completely altered. Keep in mind, it's not the heavens that change, it's the way in which the Earth is rotating, making it only look as if the Moon, Sun and stars are moving strangely.
The Maya retain an ancient legend that talks about the survivors of the last 'pole shift,' and how they tried to guess the 'new direction' in which the Sun would rise once the dust (thrown up by this catastrophe), began to settle and the sky could once again be seen.
The Maya state:
”It was not known from where the new Sun would appear. They looked in all directions, but they were unable to say where the Sun would rise. Some thought ... the north ... others ... the south. Some, however, fixed their attention on the orient (east), and maintained that the Sun would come from there. It was their opinion that proved to be correct.”
Like the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, the Maya also seem to have associated 'pole shifts' with abnormal celestial phenomena. And like the Egyptians, the 'sky-serpent' played a key role in Mayan culture and was tied into their concepts of planetary destruction and cataclysmic celestial events.
The Maya were not the only ancient civilization of South and Central America to have recorded past global catastrophes involving 'pole shifts' and strange 'sky serpents.' As we shall see the Inca, Aztec, Toltec, Hopi, Zuni and many other Native American Indian cultures all recorded similar stories of how planet Earth has been violently destroyed numerous times in the past.
All of these remaining civilizations today displayed a strong 'doomsday anxiety,' believing that these catastrophic events will take place once again in 'our' near future.. A clear example of this doomsday anxiety can be observed in the behavior of the Aztecs.
The Aztecs!
Upon arriving in the New World several hundred years ago, the Spanish explorer, Hernando Cortez, was greeted by the Aztec king, Montezuma, and given a large gold disk with elaborately carved symbols on it.These symbols represented the cyclical ages of the Aztecs and their predecessors. Was there a deeper more complex motive hidden in Montezuma's gift that Cortez failed to understand-and did it have something to do with their 'doomsday anxiety complex' connected to their anticipated cyclical return of that certain 'great destroyer' from the heavens?
According to the Aztecs, we are currently living in the 'fifth age' or 'world'-the preceding 'four' ages having all been 'wiped-out' by a recurring global calamity which strikes the Earth every few thousand years, and involves the destructive forces of water, wind, great earthquakes, violent storms and an altering of the stars in the sky (describing a pole shift).
The Aztecs remember not only 'four' prior destructions of the Earth, but greatly 'feared' another." The Aztecs were so afraid of another global disaster taking place that they would rush into the hills on a specific evening once every 52 years and nervously wait for the nighttime sky to alter its course.
The Franciscan missionary, Bemarddino Sahagun, observed one of these paranoid spectacles and wrote:
"At the end of each 52-year period the Indians (Aztecs) were mortally afraid. On the last night of the old cycle, terrified the world was about to end (again), and the Sun not rise, they took to the hills. There they studied the skies, waiting for the Pleiades star-cluster to reach the southern meridian. When it carried on moving (and did not change course in the sky) there was great rejoicing, for they knew they would be safe for at
least another 52 years."
Like the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Maya, the Aztecs were waiting for another 'pole shift 'tipping the Earth in space and making the Pleiades star-cluster appear to change directions in the nighttime sky. When the stars did not alter their normal course, the Aztecs celebrated with great festivals and knew they would be safe-at least for the time being!
The Inca!
The Spanish priest, Francisco de Avila, recorded the following Inca account of a great disaster that struck their civilization in the past-and how their current civilization came to be:
"In ancient times this world was in danger of disappearing ... the mother sea had decided to overflow, to fall down like a waterfall (upon the land). The ancient ones knew that soon the great ocean would be here and the whole world would be flooded (the usual inundation mentioned by the Egyptians). We will go somewhere to escape (they said). Let us go to the mountains; there we must save ourselves. And after five days the waters began to recede and dry up. The sea retreated ... it killed all the men (Inca). Only he of the mountain survived ... to multiply, and by him exists mankind today."
The Inca therefore built the remarkable city called Machu Picchu, which sits over 10,000 feet above sea level. This extraordinary city was built at this site because the Inca believe this is where mankind found refuge and escaped destruction during the great flood. Machu Picchu also served as a celestial observatory and a fortress/sanctuary protecting their priests from the next impending disaster.
What type of flood could have been so severe that the Inca felt it necessary to construct a sanctuary over 10,000 feet above sea level in order to provide protection/safety from the ocean? And why did they believe that this 'city in the sky' would have saved them from the great red comet?
The Inca, like the Aztecs and Maya, clearly had a 'doomsday anxiety' over changes in the normal motion of the heavens. Because of this fear of another worldwide disaster, the Inca engaged in numerous 'ceremonial rituals' in order to keep the Sun, Moon and stars traveling in their 'present course' and not change direction-thereby bringing destruction to the world once again, Many other cultures from South and Central America also recorded great planetary disasters in their civilization's history.
These same cultures also possess a powerful 'doomsday anxiety' regarding a future repeat of these destructive episodes. According to the Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology, the Araucanian Indians of Chile believe that a great (global) earthquake once caused the sea to come inland and flood the world. During this flood only a few Indians survived by taking refuge on a high mountain called Thegtheg. This belief is so prevalent and powerful-that even today the Araucanian Indians rush into the mountains with their possessions every time there is an 'earthquake.'
The Toltec Indians believed fierce winds swept across the Earth during the past 'four' destruction's of mankind. These winds were so fierce that they at first picked up sand, rocks, water and finally trees,
houses and human beings. This was followed by a rain of 'fire and gravel' that fell from the sky. Frightening 'celestial' phenomena and a great flood then plunged the Earth into prolonged darkness.
The Vilela Indians of Argentina have an account that tells how their ancient ancestors were enveloped in darkness that lasted for an entire year (most likely due to volcanic ash in the atmosphere). The starvation that resulted was so severe that the Vilela resorted to eating their dogs. The Toba Indians also have an oral tradition that talks about a great darkness that fell over the world-bringing starvation and a great flood.
The Ancient cultures of Brazil recall a time when:
”The lightning's flashed and the thunders roared terribly and all were afraid. Then the heaven(s) burst and the fragments fell down and killed everything and everybody. Heaven and Earth changed places (pole shift).Nothing that had life was left upon the Earth.”
The Chane Indians of Bolivia, the Bogota Indians of Colombia, the Guarao Indians of Venezuela and many other South American tribes, all have similar catastrophic legends and 'doomsday' anxieties It is interesting just how many ancient cultures from around the world have recorded
a great cataclysm in the distant past. These same cultures today carry a deep-seated fear of a recurring global catastrophe and express this 'doomsday anxiety' in defensive behavior or religious ritual practices-which in themselves-offer vital evidence to the nature and reality of the original cataclysms.
With all of this mounting evidence to consider, should we wisely dismiss 'Wormwood's threat'?
Some massive and devastating event brought this deep-seated fear and anxiety into the psyche of these ancient cultures, affecting them in ways we cannot appreciate or even fully understand today. Like the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, the ancient cultures of South and Central America experienced extreme geophysical conditions brought about by a shifting of the Earth's poles. Were these events so traumatic that they left an emotional scar on these people; a scar that even after thousands of years has not fully healed? Are these 'pole shifts' cyclical in nature, bringing death and destruction to mankind-over and over again through the millennia? Could it be that these periodic 'pole shifts' are ultimately triggered by the passage of the 'terrible comet' talked about so frequently by the ancient Greeks and Egyptians?
"As we have already mentioned, like the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and others, 'celestial objects' played an important role in the cultures of South and Central America. Many of these ancient cultures also spoke of a 'cloud-serpent' or 'sky-serpent' that heralded 'unbridled warfare' and 'planetary destruction' by its appearance. It may be from these early legends that the famed 'feathered serpent' (associated with both destruction and regeneration) arose."
As we shall see, many other ancient cultures also recorded similar catastrophic events, including most Native American tribes of North America.
Ancient Cultures of North America!
The Hopi!
Hopi Indian mythology speaks of modem-day humans living in the 'fourth' world, the preceding 'three' worlds all having been destroyed by a recurring catastrophe. According to the Hopi, these past global cataclysms caused land and water to 'exchange' places (the usual inundation) when the 'poles' of the Earth 'flipped' and the following events took place:
"”The world then teetered off balance, spun around crazily, and rolled over twice. Mountains plunged into the seas and the land was inundated. With a great shudder the planet began rotating again."
Once again, like so many other cultures, the Hopi believe that a shifting of the Earth's poles destroyed these preceding worlds. According to the Hopi, the present 'fourth world' will also be destroyed by a 'pole shift' in the very near future.
The Hopi also go on to say that these past worlds were completely destroyed immediately after the appearance of a large 'celestial object' they called, "Saquasohah." Could 'Saquasohah' also be the same celestial object the ancient Greeks and Egyptians called 'Typhoon' or the 'terrible comet' that had a fiery, blood-red appearance and 'twisted' like a coil in the sky?
The Cherokee!
The sacred teachings of the Cherokee people encompass many thousands of years, during which they have recorded 'four' great upheavals of the Earth. The fact that the Cherokee traditions speak of the 'great flood' and other geological changes brought on by a passing comet, should come as no surprise, since almost every other ancient cultural heritage also recorded legends of this same cataclysm.
In his book, Voices Of Our Ancestors, Dhyani Ywahoo, keeper of the Cherokee oral teachings, explains that the Cherokee believe the past destruction's of the Earth were caused by a 'pole shift,' distorting the Earth's crust and causing great planetary flooding and volcanic activity. All of these geologic events were brought on by the passage of a strange comet. Mankind only survived these global upheavals by 'living underground' for many years after the passage of this object.
The Cherokee, like the Hopi, believe that the Earth is quickly heading towards another one of these 'cosmic' encounters-and subsequently-another 'pole shift.'
Other Accounts from North America!
The Pawnee Indians of North America recall a time when the north and south polar stars, 'changed places' or 'went to visit each other,' once again indicating a shifting of the Earth's axis of rotation. They believed that a similar type of 'pole shift' would happen again at the end of the 'current cycle' when there would be a great flood and the stars would alter their course and fall down to Earth again.
The Bella Coola and Tacullies Indians of British Colombia, the Takahlis of the Pacific Northwest, the Ojibwas, the Wyandots and Dogrib of Alberta, the Ute of Utah and dozens of other North American tribes, all have similar stories about great catastrophic events that virtually Wiped out their ancestors-often repeatedly throughout the millennia.
Many of these tribes also believe that a 'cosmic serpent' known as Yurlunggu, a large 'celestial object' that periodically passed our planet, is ultimately responsible for these past cataclysms. The native tribes of Southern California describe a 'Sun-like' object called Ta-vi that roams the skies and on occasion, comes so close to the Earth in its heavenly wanderings, that our planet is scorched by its passage.
Other native Tribes of North American recall past world catastrophes being caused by a 'celestial monster.' This 'cosmic demon' that appeared in the sky was so terrifying and brought such horror to these ancient tribes, they depicted it as a large menacing 'bat' with its wings spread open. As we shall continue to see, many other civilizations throughout the ancient world recorded these same planetary catastrophes, which seem to be triggered by the appearance of this strange 'red' celestial object. And is this 'collective terror consciousness' symptomatic of a much 'deeper problem' that has been plaguing mankind since humans first walked this planet?
