| “Get out! Get ready!” said the email in my box last Thursday. “Prepare while you have the chance.” There was urgency in the tone. “Get out of the big cities” quickly. And away from coastlines? Well, warnings like this had been coming for about five years now. Some from possible crackpots, but others through reputable intelligence sources. Now the warnings were growing more urgent. Our world economy in danger of collapse angry nations planning to invade when the collapse occurs, trial runs in some cities for possible nuclear attacks, Planet X on its way toward Earth, to cause a pole shift and global destruction. An alleged Mayan prophecy of doomsday in 2012 30% of the bee population became extinct last year, and the situation is worsening this year hundreds of dead zones in our oceans, growing by the day Baby deformities, cancer and degradation of DNA spreading globally from Iraq and Afghanistan depleted-uranium-dust blowing into both hemispheres. Oh, come on! I sighed, getting up from my desk. I paced five steps to the door. And looked out into the warm, friendly sunshine. What a picture was the garden, pure serenity! How on earth could such a beautiful world, with this calm countryside, be in such trouble! DON’T BELIEVE ALL THE SPECULATION Let me tell you up front, I don’t subscribe to ALL the fear mongering heard today. Some theories are decidedly wacky! But could SOME of this warning be for real? I pondered. Is it possible that we ARE trapped into some kind of mad house? Are things really getting this bad? Or are some idiots just crying “Wolf!” Let’s face it. Over the past few thousand years, we’ve been moving through history in a fairly predictable way, more or less. Marrying, building, doing business, growing crops, having children, playing, sleeping, eating. All pretty normal. And with no general interruption to history, right? As you probably know, I’m an archaeologist. And, okay, we know there have been many localized disasters in the past. But never world destruction like we’re being warned about now. Never, Well, there was one… We even have a date for it, November 2345 BC. And it lasted for a year. In fact, it’s the most widely remembered event of the human race, over 600 traditions of it, all over. Not to mention the mass of geological evidence. Anyway, as I stood in the sun, my mind drifted back to it. The event is known as the Deluge, or Great Flood. Indulge me, for a moment. Just picture yourself being there, at the time this Great Disaster struck. Better still, why not put yourself in the shoes of one who experienced it. Try to think what he might have been thinking, one of the last, lingering survivors. THE DAY IT ENDED About an hour to go. It will be all over then, if he can hold on that long. Alone, he has climbed to a high place as the fierce waves dash higher. The screams of the others have gone. They were swept away only minutes ago. Now it is just the howling of the hurricane, the roar of water miles deep, over the mountains and valleys. The noise is ear-splitting, like the scream of demons on an errand of destruction. It’s so final now. So final. UNEXPECTED This was totally unexpected, you know. Abe was about to clinch a business deal. Suddenly the giant office building began to rock. It got worse. It was awful. He and his partner had fled into the street. The pavement was rolling up and down like waves. There were lots of people. Screaming. Running. Falling. It kept up all afternoon. He had struggled to a higher spot. A news broadcast told of fissures opening up all over the world. They were hundreds of miles long. Now magma was shooting up through the fissures. It was happening worldwide. Then all radio communication ceased. It was still daytime. The sun should still have been shining. But it was dark as night. There was red fire in the sky everywhere. Two weeks now with little sleep. It was a stampede. People. Animals. Everything, trying to escape. The sea was sweeping inland. The sky was collapsing in torrents. The forests were ablaze. Screams. Nothing but screams. It’s been so terrifying. So hopeless. So exhausting. There’s no way out. It didn’t have to be. “I could have been in that survival ship!” he shrieks. “But everyone told me that mob giving the alert was crazy.” Here comes a big one. Oh, it’s towering so high, hundreds of feet high. It’s like a skyscraper. “Oh, no, God, please.” * * * * * * * Indeed, the whole event had been sudden. Scientific evidence now available suggests that the earth had been suddenly tipped on its axis. AXIS TILTED It is a fact that a sudden displacement of the earth’s axis would cause the destruction of the entire surface of the planet. Such a sudden change in position would leave the earth wobbling like a disturbed top, and the earth is indeed WOBBLING on its axis today. The late George F. Dodwell, South Australian government astronomer, and director of the Adelaide Observatory, made an interesting discovery in relation to the earth’s wobble. Over 26 years, he studied what astronomers call “the secular variation of the obliquity of the ecliptic”. He did an investigation of summer solstice studies at ancient sites, such as Stonehenge, Amen Ra, Eodoxus, and so on. Put simply, he studied measurements of the sun’s shadow-length by ancient astronomers from five continents. Available records of the position of the sun at observed solstices showed that an exponential curve of recovery had taken place in relation to the earth’s axis. In a letter to Dr. Arthur J. Brandenberger, professor of photogrammetry at Ohio State University, Dodwell stated: “I have been making during the last 26 years an extensive investigation of what we know in astronomy as the secular variation of the obliquity of the ecliptic, and from a study of the available ancient observations of the position of the sun at the solstices during the last three thousand years, “I find a curve which, after allowing for all known changes, [shows] a typical exponential curve of recovery of the earth’s axis after a sudden change from a former nearly vertical position to an inclination of 26 degrees, from which it was returned to an equilibrium at the present inclination of 23 degrees during the interval of the succeeding 3,194 years to A.D. 1850.” What was Dodwell saying? Simply this – that the earth’s axis had once been almost upright, but it had suddenly changed to a 26-degree tilt, from which it had been wobbling back to its present mean tilt of 23 degrees. Dodwell’s research was confirmed by Dr. Rhodes W. Fairbridge of Columbia University, in Science Magazine, May 15, 1970. Dodwell concluded that something “struck” the earth at that time. He realized that this would result in massive, worldwide flooding and catastrophic geological effects. The date of this event, from his curve of observations, is 2345 B.C. It may be a surprise to learn that this coincides precisely with the traditional date for the Great Flood, as calculated from biblical sources. No phenomenon on earth is adequate to displace the earth’s axis; it could be caused only by some outside force. The earth’s axis was tilted, and suddenly, bringing terrific stresses upon the earth’s surface. EARTHQUAKES The result was mega earthquakes, which tore the crust into gigantic fissures, to pour forth water, steam and molten rock. UNDERGROUND BASINS BURST FORTH As untold amounts of primary water broke free, they rushed out over the earth in a great swell. The sea began to overflow, sweeping inland, tearing away the land. VOLCANIC ACTION The breaking of the surface to a depth of several miles produced terrific strains and friction, which developed pent-up heat. Simultaneously, volcanoes burst out in America, Africa, the Pacific and everywhere else. With a roar, thirty thousand fiery columns spouted miles high into the sky. Lava also pushed upward from immense cracks in the crust. The volcanoes gave off vapor in quantities almost beyond comprehension, causing great rain on an unprecedented scale. CANOPY COLLAPSED The sudden tilting of the planet’s axis and the expulsion of jets of boiling water and of volcanic ash high above the atmosphere disrupted the vast amounts of invisible water in the canopy surrounding the planet. This outer canopy began to disintegrate, to collapse upon the earth. It poured down in such volume and force, the result was disastrous. TIDAL WAVES This was not a calm, monotonous rise of water. Colossal tidal waves surged over the planet. The winds, now of uncontrollable force, whipped them to enormous heights. Boulders of up to 18,000 tons were carried hundreds of miles. Some were hurled to levels 2,000 feet higher. GLOBAL This was a Flood of global proportions. All the latent forces of nature, volcanoes, earthquakes, waves and hurricanes, were unleashed in a terrible alliance for a universal destruction. For a year, their continued action created power for destruction and transportation that is beyond human calculation. Erosion and sedimentation took place on a gigantic scale. The Great Flood can explain many otherwise puzzling geological features of today’s earth. It is a tragic fact that so many researchers of our past fail to take into account this world shattering event when examining archaeological sites and “guessing” their dates. They fail to see through the modern charade of “established pre-history”. Don’t fall for their trick. Be ready, with the facts at your fingertips. AND WHAT’S COMING? And our future? To know it, you also need to know our true, astonishing past. Did you catch this a few minutes ago? This Global Disaster of 2345 BC is the best attested event in all human history. |
