Description
Book SynopsisMany 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 warniong 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.
Trade Review"This is an amazing book, and a little complicated, so plan to spend some time on this one. But, it's well written, well thought out and exceptionally researched." * Olav Phillips, The Anomalies Network, Mar 2008 *
