there has been some kind of a universal system at use in the ancient world
And these various cultural groups whether it was the Egyptians or Sumerians or Mayans
or the Hopewellian's or the megalithic builders had access to some universal
system from some source that was outside their own cultural context and I suggest
that the source of that goes back into deep time that takes us back beyond the
threshold of known history into the realm of mythical history which means
we're going back like into the Ice Age back into the pleistocene to use the
geologist term back into the to the deep recesses of the human tenure on
planet earth whose only memory has come down to us, not in the form of recorded
history, but in the form of myth and epic story and legend and so forth because as
it turns out if we in this way this is again as a is a good topic first the
sacred geometry class when we analyze plato's description of atlantis.
Plato basically gave the date of the sinking of atlantis as 9,000 years prior
to Solon, the Athenian poet and statesman.
Solon did a 10-year exile in Egypt and brought back the
tale of Atlantis and presented it to the to the Greeks and Solon basically made
that journey around 600 BC so if you had the nine thousand years to the 600 BC we
come up with a date of about eleven thousand six hundred years ago for
Plato's date for this the demise of Atlantis well it's very interesting that
the date eleven thousand six hundred years has been independently discovered
by geologists who look at the tempo of various catastrophes
that have occurred on earth and to those catastrophes is where I'm now going to turn
Catastrophes in the time of man: the tempo of global change. What I've done
here is I put a time bar that goes from the present right here this is us now
this is today right here is May 3rd at 4 o'clock. Is it 4 o'clock? that's right
here and this is a hundred and fifty thousand years ago and the reason I used
150 thousand years is that some of the earliest skeletal remains ever
discovered of modern humans date back to 150 - even to 180 thousand years
skeletons that appear to be indistinguishable from a modern skeleton
which suggests that modern humans with presumably equivalent intelligence to
our own were present on the planet at least this far back so here we've got a
hundred and fifty thousand year time span. You'll notice this little red bar
at the end, that red bar represents the span of recorded history, which is
basically the advent of Sumerian cuneiform writing so if it turns out
that there were modern humans living through this whole span of time
Why is there no history? Well now you've got to do is turn to these various
things that I've put on here these are events that have occurred and I used a
certain criteria for these events and here's the criteria I used. I began
studying the record of geological change, climate change, environmental change and
I focused on events that could be considered catastrophic and catastrophic
to the extent that were an event of an equivalent magnitude to occur now it
would basically end civilization as we know it.
That's the criteria. What would be the magnitude of an event that
it would take to terminate our modern industrial civilization? That's the
criteria that I used. Then I begin to search through the record of all the
events that would be of that magnitude or greater and the events that I found
so far have been entered onto this graph and they're listed all here you can see them.
and how many do we have here? and this is not complete necessarily but
we have at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 of them in a hundred and
fifty thousand years so at least 16 times in the last hundred and fifty
thousand years there have been climate or environmental or geological
catastrophes powerful enough that were they occur to occur today would
essentially put us back into the Stone Age. Would essentially if you think about
some of the small catastrophes we have seen in the last few years from the the
destruction of New Orleans to the great tsunami you know to some of the big
earthquakes that we've seen. You know New Orleans is still not recovered, but
you've got to imagine what would happen if an event that was one order of
magnitude greater than Katrina happened? By that I mean ten times worse. Let's say
that we had ten cities decimated to the extent of New Orleans.
We could certainly recover from that but it would be a major effort to do so.
Now, what if we were talking about two orders of magnitude? let's say to put it into a
rough equivalency an event that could could cause the decimation of a hundred
major urban areas. Could we recover from that? Questionable. Now, let's go three
orders of magnitude and now we're talking about the equivalent of a
thousand major cities completely decimated. Okay, at that level, three
orders of magnitude, that's what these are. Those are events that essentially
would be three orders of magnitude.
Once you begin to ponder this it becomes apparent why there isn't a record an
extant record of what's been going on for the whole time that we humans have
been here. Now, at this point you probably haven't tied this in with what we've
been saying before other than I'll point out a few things to you that should be
on set of the late Wisconsin ice age. 26,000 years before present. Remember the
great year and the processional cycle? Add about 80 years to that we've got 26,000
of course 26,000 you consider a figure plus or minus a few centuries now you
come through that cosmic lock that I showed you right
halfway to the cusp of the age of Leo. twelve thousand nine hundred years ago roughly
rand what happened? We have something that happened twelve thousand
nine hundred years before present onset of the Younger Dryas climate
catastrophe, first phase of the megafauna extinctions. hmm let's here what I've
done is I've entered some green dots. Now look at what the green dots are the
green dots are basically derived directly from the model of the great
year based upon cycles of six thousand four hundred and eighty, twelve thousand
nine hundred and sixty, and then twenty five thousand nine hundred and twenty
and you'll notice how high of a correlation there is between the tempo
of events the actual events that have been derived by scientists without any
reference to this great year model at all and the timing of these ages of the world. Remember the six thousand four hundred and eighty years? That was the
the bull the lion the eagle and the man. And according to the traditions each of
those seasons of the great year is inaugurated by some type of a great
even.t A transformative event a catastrophe if
you will. And what I've done here is I have developed a data set that shows the
correlation it certainly seems from a study of this graph that these intervals,
these event nodes as I call them, the susceptibility of something happening
goes up exponentially for a short period of time. Here's the analogy that I have
used. You're out driving along a quiet country road you've got it on you know
cruise control you're kicking back you're listening to some tunes you're
not paying much attention you know you're talking on your cell phone not
much traffic okay now you come up to a major highway
the cars are like this well you're crossing that intersection and while
you're crossing that intersection now suddenly you got to put your cell phone
down and start paying attention because if you don't you're going to get t-boned
Right? Well obviously you've got your whole journey and each time you cross an
intersection of a major highway you know the potential of a catastrophe increases
considerably over what it would be while you're out there on the lone lonely
country road. Well you see our planet is on a cosmic highway around the galaxy
and we're now beginning to understand the fine structure of the galaxy and we
realize that there is a pattern in an order to it and there's our a tempo of
these orbital revolutions there's a tempo of the galaxy and there's a wave
pattern of the earth moving up and down above and below the galactic plane and
within that there are sub orbital cycles as well and we also discover that there
seems to be a tempo in the delivery of cosmic matter to the inner solar system
it doesn't seem to be random and this is going to be beyond the scope of today's
lecture but what I'm getting at here is that the evidence now supports the
conclusion that the delivery of cosmic material and energy
energy pulses that would be affecting earth are non random ,that they are on
some kind of a cosmic timetable, a cosmic tempo if you will. And I think this is
one of the most important insights we get from these ancient traditions is the
measurement of cosmic time and how it relates to us here on earth. You just got
to know what to look for and where to look for it. Once you begin to become
aware of it and you begin to see it you begin to realize that the cosmic
fingerprints are everywhere about us we're in fact living in and upon the
wreckage of the former worlds the rubble of these former worlds is all around us
but we haven't had the scale of perspective to see it and that's where
we're at now I'm completely thrilled with things like the emergence of Google
Earth because Google Earth is now allowing us to just somebody all of us
to sit at our computers and see the cosmic perspective of Earth and when you
look at it from you know from the from the extra-terrestrial point of view
things begin to show up that we don't see when we're right down here immersed
on it's so close that we're like ants walking under rubble and can't can't see
what what's around us but we do see that we literally have built our own world in
our own social system on top of and out of the wreckage of former worlds
