story was a comet that had broken apart and whose fragments rained down upon India causing all manner of destruction.

Interestingly, both Rahu and the Cosmic Crocodile were associated with spirals. This further associates them with the swastika-shaped comet. As stated previously, the only way an observer on Earth could see a swastika-shaped comet is if it were headed directly towards them. As this comet rotated the swastika arms would form a spiral in the sky.

Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, was also associated with spirals. Sculptures of Quetzalcoatl at Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza both featured spirals on the side of the serpent’s head. Thus it is clear that the Celestial Bird, Cosmic Crocodile and Feathered Serpent were different ways to represent the same comet.

Thus it seems clear that the symbols used to encode these myths are all consistent with the interpretation that a bird-like, swastika-shaped comet appeared in the sky. As it rotated the arms of the swastika formed a spiral. An eruption from the sun ripped off these arms and tails and likely caused the comet to fragment. Several of these fragments “descended from the sky” and impacted multiple oceans causing mega-tsunamis that destroyed coastal settlements. The survivors recorded these events in their myths and legends as well as their artwork.

Now let us take a look at some other myths from around the world that also recorded this event and see what additional details can be discovered.

18. Medusa: A Greek Account

The Hindu story of Rahu and the Mayan story of the Celestial Bird and Cosmic Crocodile were not the only ancient myths that encoded this comet fragmentation and impact event. The Greek account of Medusa sounds remarkably similar to the Mayan Flood Myth and its decapitation of a Cosmic Crocodile.

In Greek mythology, Medusa was a gorgon who once had long beautiful hair. Gorgons were always represented with large, wild eyes. According to Wikipedia,

“The large eyes, as well as Athena's "flashing" eyes, are symbols termed "the divine eyes" by Gimbutas (who did not originate the perception), appearing also in Athena's bird, the owl. They can be represented by spirals, wheels, concentric circles, swastikas, firewheels, and other images.”[138]

Thus we see Medusa, like Rahu, the Cosmic Crocodile, and Quetzalcoatl, was associated with spirals and swastikas. Depictions of Medusa are nearly identical to those of Rahu. She had spirals in her hair and an open mouth with fangs identical to those of Rahu (see previous chapter).

According to myth, Medusa’s beautiful long hair was turned to serpents after she was raped by Poseidon, god of the sea. It should be noted that the word comet in Greek means “long-haired” since they saw comets as long-haired stars; thus, Medusa certainly had a comet association. Like the Cosmic Crocodile and Rahu, Medusa’s head was also severed from her body. One version of the myth noted that Perseus, the doer of the deed, used a sword from Haephestus in order to accomplish this task. Curiously, Haephestus also created the chariot used by Helios, the sun god, thus it is clear that his creations were associated with the sun. Could this sword have represented a solar flare or coronal mass ejection like the Sudarshan Chakra used by Vishnu to sever Rahu’s head from his body?

To accomplish this deed Perseus also borrowed the winged shoes of Hermes in order to fly across the sky. Once again Hermes is associated with a myth that appears to encode destruction brought by a comet as discussed in Part 2, chapter 10, “Quetzalcoatl & Hermes: Cosmic Messengers.”

Medusa was also associated with a flood and blood rain. According to myth, Perseus flew to Ethiopia where the sea god Poseidon had caused a massive flood and a sea monster, Cetus, had devoured a town. Curiously, in Greek art most cetea (plural of Cetus) are depicted as serpentine fish. In one version of the myth Perseus used Medusa’s head to turn Cetus to stone. A serpent-like monster that was turned to stone and caused a sea flood that devoured a town is a perfect metaphor for an oceanic impact event that caused a mega-tsunami.

Although in this instance the head of Medusa did not cause the flood, her previous rape by Poseidon, which turned her into the hideous monster with snakes in her hair, certainly linked her to the flood event. Medusa’s head also dripped blood on the way to Ethiopia, a possible reference to blood rain or red rain that is similar to the “flood of blood” that resulted from the decapitation of the Cosmic Crocodile. Thus the story of Medusa has many of the same elements as the previous myths that appear to encode a comet fragmentation and impact event.

There is evidence of a mega-tsunami impacting the eastern shores of Africa around this time. Astronomer Dallas Abbott has argued that the chevron-shaped geological formations on the island of Madagascar were formed by an ancient mega-tsunami.[139] Each of these chevron-shaped formations are two-times larger than Manhattan. Each formation is over 600 feet high, taller than the Chrysler Building, suggesting the wave that deposited this debris was at least this tall but likely much taller.

Abbott believes the nearby Burckle Crater in the Indian Ocean was the location for this impact.[140] Abbott noted this crater was between 4000-5000 years old thus it could easily have formed around 3300 BC at the time recorded in the Mayan Flood Myth. This event would not only have impacted the coasts of eastern Africa but also India. This could explain why the legend of Medusa and Ramu are so similar.

These large chevron-shaped tsunami deposits may also explain another aspect of the Mayan Flood Myth. Throughout Mesoamerica, myths related that the body of the Cosmic Crocodile
