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 Dras 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.
