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

Laboratory noted that literally thousands of petroglyphs around the world showed abstract designs that were nearly identical to patterns made by high-energy plasma discharges in the laboratory.[79]

How could ancient people over 12,000 years ago have created such designs? The only way, theorizes Peratt, is if the sun unleashed a high-energy solar flare orders of magnitude larger than any in recorded history that produced these plasma designs as auroras in the sky. The ancient sky watchers then simply carved into the rock the designs they were seeing in the sky.

One design that appeared in many places around the world was a stick figure man sometimes with a birdlike head. Dr. Peratt was able to reproduce this design with plasma discharges in the laboratory.

13. Thoth, the Egyptian Messenger of the Sun God

Interestingly, the ancient Egyptians had a deity known as Thoth who was represented as a bird-headed man. Thoth shared all the qualities and characteristics of both Quetzalcoatl and Hermes. When the ancient Greeks ruled over Egypt they also noted the similarities between these two deities and considered them to be the same.

Like Hermes and Quetzalcoatl, Thoth was a god of communication and the inventor of hieroglyphic writing as well as responsible for guiding souls to the underworld. He was also depicted as a “dog faced baboon[80],” similar to depictions of Quetzalcoatl’s twin Xolotl.

He was also considered the heart of the sun god Ra. Interestingly, Quetzalcoatl’s wind aspect called Ehecatl-Quetzalcoatl or Hurakan was also known as “heart of sky.” In Mayan myth Hurakan is said to have caused the Great Flood.[81] Thoth was also considered not only the heart (or mind) of Ra but also the tongue as well which symbolized he was the means by which Ra’s will was translated into speech[82], i.e., he was a messenger of the Sun.

Interestingly, the hieroglyphs used to write his name included a twin-serpents glyph similar to the caduceus or staff of Hermes and a bird glyph. Thus just like Quetzalcoatl and Hermes he was associated with both twin serpents and wings. Since Thoth (like Quetzalcoatl) was considered the inventor of hieroglyphs and hieroglyphs were known as “the word of the gods”[83], it is interesting that many of the plasma designs recorded on petroglyphs would later be adopted into writing systems around the world including by the Maya and Egyptians. Did this super solar storm not only lead to destruction but also the invention of writing? Is this why these messenger gods were all associated with the invention of writing? As noted in Part 1, chapter 6, “Cosmic Cycles,” there is evidence that human creativity increases during periods of high solar activity thus this might explain the invention of writing at that time.

Thoth also had a female counterpart known as the goddess Seshat. She is usually represented in temple paintings wearing leopard skins. During major solar storms the sun is covered in sun spots thus the leopard skin is an ingenious way to represent a god associated with solar storms.

In one depiction Seshat’s spots were represented as stars suggestive of a meteor shower or storm. Seshat also wore an emblem on her head consisting of a seven-pointed star and a set of inverted cow’s horns meant to represent a crescent moon.[84] (This crescent moon and star symbol appears all over the world associated with this cosmic catastrophe suggesting this configuration existed in the sky at the time of the destruction.)

Thoth is often portrayed with a green ibis head with long green and red feathers that flow from his head like a comet’s tail.

Thus we see that Quetzalcoatl, Hermes and Thoth seem to be one-and-the-same. Yet Thoth adds an extra layer of meaning since he also is related to sunspots and thus solar flares. As noted previously, in January 2005 when Comet Machholz visited the Pleiades a major solar flare erupted 15 days later with the largest and fastest proton storm ever recorded. Could the previous appearance of the green comet Machholz have also coincided closely in time with a super solar flare hence the symbolism of a green comet associated with sun spots?

For people on Earth, this super solar flare would have appeared as a great flash of light from the sun. Then minutes later the proton storm would have hit Earth’s atmosphere and the high-energy plasma would have created all manner of lighting storms similar to being inside of a plasma globe. These lightning storms would have ignited the world’s forests. According to one version of the Toba Indians’ World Fire myth, the fire was indeed preceded by lightning.[85]

As night fell high-energy auroras would have appeared in the sky as vibrant, neon lights dancing across the sky in various designs including one that looked like a stick man with a bird’s head. Is it any wonder the ancients thought the gods lived in the sky and hurled thunderbolts to destroy humanity?

Ancient myths suggest that not only were the forests ignited but also the water in lakes, ponds and the ocean reached boiling point. People who sought refuge in water were boiled to death except those who buried themselves in mud. On land only people who reached the safety of caves or dug holes in the ground were saved.

Could this be the reason that the great ice dams melted and released a deluge of fresh water into the oceans and a mass extinction occurred at that time? Could this also be the reason Quetzalcoatl, Hermes and Thoth are all associated with guiding souls to the underworld? Does this portion of the myths suggest that caves and tunnels were the only safe places of refuge to escape the solar storm?

Interestingly, caves have recently been found beneath the Great Pyramids of Egypt. The entrance to these caves was concealed behind a temple known as the Tomb of the Birds. It appears to have been a temple dedicated to Thoth since bird mummies were also found in another cemetery related to
