An investigation of the connection between ancient
world catastrophe myths and modern scientific evidence
of a galactic destruction cycle. Many ancient myths from
around the world tell of catastrophic destruction by
fire and flood. These ubiquitous legends are so extreme
that they are often dismissed as imaginative
exaggerations. In ''Earth Under Fire'', Paul LaViolette
connects these 'myths' to recent scientific findings in
astronomy, geology and archaeology to reconstruct the
details of prehistoric global disasters and to explain
how similar tragedies could recur in the near future.
Compelled by his decryption of an ancient warning hidden
in zodiac constellation lore, LaViolette worked with
information from many scientific sources, including
astronomical observations, polar core measurements and
other geological data to confirm that our Galaxy's core
exploded near the end of the last ice age. This
explosion unleashed a barrage of cosmic rays and
enveloped the solar system in a dense nebula, which led
to periods of persistent darkness, frigid cold, severe
solar storms, searing heat and mountainous floods that
plagued mankind for many generations.Linking his
scientific findings to details preserved in the myths
and monuments of ancient civilisations, he demonstrates
how past civilisations accurately recorded the causes of
these cataclysmic events, knowledge of which may be
crucial for the human race to survive the next
catastrophic superwave cycle. This information reveals
the intelligence and ingenuity of our ancestors who,
when faced with extinction, found the means to warn us
that the apocalypse them could occur once again. |
