Mayan Calendar Prophecies: The Complete Collection of 2012 Predictions and Prophecies by Gary Daniels (best color ereader txt) 📗

We have seen that since Comet Machholz arrived Earth has entered a period of extreme natural disasters. Two of the top ten deadliest natural disasters of all time have happened since 2004: the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Thus the green comet of Mercury-Hermes-Quetzalcoatl being associated with “lightning’s, thunders, earthquakes, great winds, [and] violent storms” seems fitting and just a little more than coincidental.

Hermes was also a god of commerce and of thieves. Coincidentally, in 2008 the worst financial crisis in history struck the entire world.

There is no known mechanism for a comet to be the source of such disasters nor do the ancient myths suggest this. The myths about Quetzalcoatl and Hermes suggest that a green comet serves as a herald or messenger of extreme catastrophes to come. If this is the case, then it would appear that there is a natural cycle of catastrophes with which the orbit of Comet Machholz just happens to coincide. Thus the next obvious questions are what is the orbit of Comet Machholz and when was the last time it visited Earth and what were the consequences?

11. Younger Dryas Climate Event & the Clovis Comet

According to astronomers, Comet Machholz is a long period comet with a 12,500-year orbital period. The last time Comet Machholz visited Earth was in 10,500 BC. This corresponded to the beginning of the Younger Dryas climate event that saw parts of the world become much cooler. Earth had experienced a global warming that was bringing an end to the Ice Age. Yet something happened in 10,500BC that reversed this global warming trend. A great mass extinction also occurred at this time with the die off of the mega-fauna such as mammoths, mastodons, giant sloths, saber toothed tigers and more. The Clovis Culture in North America also ended.[71]

What caused this climate event? It appears that an enormous fresh water lake known as Lake Agassiz existed in the center of North America created from the melt water of the glaciers covering the continent then. This lake covered over 440,000 square miles and was larger than all the Great Lakes combined and held more water than all of today’s lakes combined! Around 10,500 BC an ice dam collapsed and the lake catastrophically drained north into the Arctic Ocean.[72]

This influx of cold water shut down the currents in the Atlantic Ocean that transferred the warm equatorial waters north. This led to a return of Ice Age conditions for much of the northern hemisphere.  It also led to immense coastal flooding as sea levels rose hundreds of feet as a result of the melting.

What caused the ice dam to melt? One theory suggests a comet exploded over the ice sheet. Richard Firestone of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory noted, "Our research indicates that a 10-kilometer-wide comet, which may have been composed from the remnants of a supernova explosion, could have hit North America 13,000 years ago. This event was preceded by an intense blast of iron-rich grains that impacted the planet roughly 34,000 years ago."[73]

According to this theory a swarm of comets impacted Earth and/or exploded in the atmosphere with the same destructive power as a nuclear bomb blast. This caused immense fire storms that set much of the world’s forests ablaze. Evidence of this global conflagration can be seen in the geologic record as a ‘black mat’ that appears just before the layer representing the onset of the Younger Dryas climate event.  This ‘black mat’ layer has been found in North America, South America and Europe suggesting a worldwide catastrophe.

Meteorites with a lunar origin have also been found on Earth that also date to this time which suggests that the moon was also impacted by comets which resulted in lunar rocks being ejected into space and then falling to Earth. In fact, the Toba tribe in South America claimed a world fire was caused when pieces of the moon broke and struck Earth.[74]

Yet could these forest fires have had an additional cause? Could the sun have erupted with a super solar flare that was intense enough to set forests ablaze?

12. Super Solar Flares

Scientists studying Greenland ice cores have noted that the Younger Dryas period is bracketed by two nitrate spikes in the ice record.[75] Scientists have noted that nitrate spikes in more modern ice core samples dating back to 1561 coincide with known solar flare events. The largest such nitrate spike coincides with the 1859 Carrington Event which was the first solar flare ever observed by modern astronomers. It was the result of a Solar Superstorm and it produced auroras as far south as the Caribbean.[76]

The telegraph was the only form of technology that existed in 1859. According to Wikipedia, “Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed in some cases even shocking telegraph operators. Telegraph pylons threw sparks and telegraph paper spontaneously caught fire. Some telegraph systems appeared to continue to send and receive messages despite having been disconnected from their power supplies.”[77] A study conducted by the National Science Foundation to determine what would happen if a Carrington size solar storm were to occur today concluded the U.S. would be without power for years as a result.

The nitrate spikes bracketing the Younger Dryas period are substantially higher than those produced by the Carrington Event. This suggests the solar storm that produced them was orders of magnitude larger. Can such a storm be powerful enough to set forests on fire?

The answer came when the Apollo 11 astronauts landed on the moon. They discovered small lunar craters that showed signs of glazing on their exposed surfaces. In 1969 astrophysicist Thomas Gold concluded that “radiation intensity on the Moon had reached 100 suns for 10 to 100 seconds…”[78] to produce such glazing.

Humans appear to not only have witnessed such an event but also to have recorded it on petroglyphs around the world. Physicist Anythony Peratt of the Los Alamos National
