Chapters

• 00:00 - 03:00: Introduction and Overview The introduction of this podcast episode, hosted by Randall Carlson, aims to explore the symbolism and traditions linked to cosmic impacts and their influence on Earth and civilization.
• 03:00 - 05:30: Transcript Introduction The chapter titled 'Transcript Introduction' begins with the narrator reflecting on their younger days in the 1970s, when they attempted to read 'The Secret Doctrine,' a two-volume set by HP Blavatsky. The narrator was deeply interested in the mysteries of existence, spiritual traditions, and hidden things.
• 05:30 - 10:00: Symbolism and Traditions of Cosmic Impacts The chapter delves into the symbolism and traditions surrounding cosmic impacts. A notable quote from famous historian Will Durant is highlighted, signifying its impact and relevance on the topic discussed. The chapter appears to explore Durant's insights and how they interconnect with the broader narrative of cosmic impacts.
• 10:00 - 15:30: Frederick Sadi's Quote and Its Implications The chapter explores Frederick Sadi's thought-provoking quote on civilization being dependent on geological consent, highlighting its transient and precarious nature. The implication of this perspective is that human efforts to build and maintain civilization are inherently fragile and at the mercy of Earth's geological forces. The discussion suggests that while this insight is crucial, it is often overlooked or inadequately addressed in popular culture and current societal concerns.
• 15:30 - 20:30: Floods and Fires in Apocalyptic Traditions This chapter discusses the intersection of floods and fires within the context of apocalyptic traditions, with a particular focus on the human-induced climate change debate. It highlights efforts to present rational perspectives on this subject, citing insights from Frederick Sadi, a Nobel Prize-winning chemist, to underscore the complexities and controversies surrounding climate issues.
• 20:30 - 25:30: HP Blavatsky and Ancient Monuments In the chapter titled 'HP Blavatsky and Ancient Monuments,' a quote from 1956 serves as a focal point, suggesting that the legend of the fall of man might be remnants from an ancient era when humanity had to restart its progress after a mysterious regression. Since that quote, our understanding has evolved, revealing more about those historical dynamics.
• 25:30 - 30:30: Dragons, Serpents, and Modern Depictions The chapter delves into the reasons for the fall of civilization as explored in a podcast series focused on apocalyptic traditions. Special emphasis is placed on the narrative of dragons and serpents in antiquity, with projections to their representations in modern times. An old English proverb is quoted to amplify the theme.
• 30:30 - 35:30: Fire Serpents and Meteors The chapter "Fire Serpents and Meteors" explores the merciless nature of fire and water, drawing on ancient traditions of global catastrophes. It references how these elements have been significant in apocalyptic narratives throughout history. Additionally, it connects these themes to the Biblical story of Noah, noting how the Bible begins with events following the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, leading to Noah, the 10th patriarch.
• 35:30 - 40:30: NASA's Summary of Comet Symbolism This chapter explores the theme of comet symbolism in relation to cataclysmic events, focusing on how the concept of a world-destroying deluge has persisted across various cultures. It discusses the Greek term 'cataclysmos,' specifically associated with world destruction by water, and highlights how many cultures have preserved traditions of such floods.
• 40:30 - 45:30: Ancient Prophecies and Cometary Events The chapter explores ancient prophecies related to catastrophic events, focusing on both watery and fiery destructions that have historical foundations. It draws upon studies in paleo-hydrology, which provide evidence for massive flood events in geological history. Additionally, the chapter discusses the Greek concept of 'ecarus', denoting world destruction by fire. Evidence of such fiery destructions is seen in remnants and fingerprints found in natural records like core samples.
• 45:30 - 50:30: Comet Shapes and Symbols The chapter titled 'Comet Shapes and Symbols' begins with a discussion on the analysis of samples taken from lake bottoms and ice cores from Greenland and Iceland. These scientific efforts are geared towards understanding historical comet events. The findings reveal that some ancient conflagrations, possibly attributed to these cometary incidents, were extraordinarily massive. The magnitude of these events were so remarkable that the survivors could have easily been led to believe in the immense power and impact of such celestial occurrences.
• 50:30 - 55:30: Multiple Impacts and Biblical References The chapter titled 'Multiple Impacts and Biblical References' dives into historical testimony and symbolic language, focusing on the destructive impact on the world. It references a quote from H.P. Blavatsky's 'The Secret Doctrine, Volume 2: Anthropogenesis,' published in 1888, which sparked the author's curiosity in the subject. This quote serves as a springboard for exploring the broader themes of the chapter.
• 55:30 - 60:30: Historical Records and Catastrophes The chapter titled 'Historical Records and Catastrophes' delves into the mystery surrounding ancient dolmens and their builders. Despite modern archaeology's persistent speculations, there remains a significant gap in understanding their true origin, much like in 1888. These strange and often massive monuments, typically composed of four to seven unhewn stones, are yet to reveal their secrets.
• 60:30 - 65:30: Islamic Astronomy and Loan Words The chapter 'Islamic Astronomy and Loan Words' discusses the presence of gigantic blocks found throughout Asia, Europe, America, and Africa. These structures, often called dolmens, are composed of a series of large stone blocks, often associated with serpents and dragons. The chapter raises questions about their builders and the reasons for their connections with these mythical creatures.
• 65:30 - 70:30: Fire from the Skies and Ancient Accounts The chapter titled 'Fire from the Skies and Ancient Accounts' discusses the mysterious purposes behind ancient structures or sites. Modern archaeologists typically classify these as having religious or ceremonial purposes due to a lack of understanding or evidence. However, the speaker proposes that these sites may actually be remnants of ancient technology. This idea, though not the main focus of this specific episode of 'Square Circle,' will be a recurring theme.
• 70:30 - 75:30: Europa and Moon Crater Chains This chapter explores the subject of dragons as a powerful symbol associated with technology. It hints at a deeper exploration in future discussions and notes the widespread presence of dragon mythology across different cultures, from China to Mexico and among Native Americans.
• 75:30 - 80:30: Tunguska Event Deep Dive The chapter delves into the modern representations and lore of dragons, touching upon their mythical abilities such as flying. It connects these depictions with popular culture references, including J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings,' highlighting the enduring fascination and influence of dragons in both ancient mythology and modern storytelling.
• 80:30 - 85:30: Comet SchwasmanWachman Fragmentation This chapter delves into the dual existence of dragons, highlighting their ability to hibernate in caves (terrestrial existence) and soar in the skies (celestial existence). This duality is emphasized as a symbolic representation of the dragon, reflecting both earthly and heavenly elements. Readers are encouraged to keep this symbolism in mind as they progress through the text.
• 85:30 - 90:30: Comet ShoemakerLevy 9's Impact on Jupiter The chapter introduces the topic of cosmic events, specifically focusing on the impact of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 on Jupiter. It suggests that readers take notes, especially on the symbolism associated with such cosmic events, which will be discussed in detail. The material is derived from a book titled 'Thunderstorm Stones and Shooting Stars: Meteors and Meteorites in Folklore and Legends of Central Asia.'
• 90:30 - 95:30: Cosmic Lessons from Recent Events The chapter explores the symbolic interpretations of meteors across different cultures. Meteors are depicted as 'fire serpents' that sometimes bring problems or treasures. For the people of the Andaman Islands, meteors are seen as torches carried by evil forest spirits hunting for men. The text highlights the explicit association between serpents and fire, showcasing the diverse and mystical cultural narratives surrounding meteors.
• 95:30 - 100:30: Asteroids vs Comets: Definitions and Threats This chapter discusses the definitions and threats posed by asteroids and comets. It opens with a mention of the historical perception of meteors, which sometimes brought problems or treasures. While not explored in detail here, the chapter notes the association of some of Earth's richest precious metals with asteroids.
• 100:30 - 105:30: Modern Science's Role in Understanding Comets The chapter explores how modern science has enhanced our understanding of comets, focusing particularly on cosmic impacts. It references significant impact sites such as Sudbury in Ontario and Vaport in South Africa. Additionally, it touches on an anecdotal discovery by Petroleum Mexico (PEMX) in the 1980s, where they inadvertently drilled into features linked to these cosmic events while searching for hydrocarbons.
• 105:30 - 110:30: The Structure and Disintegration of Comets The chapter discusses the exploration of the Cretaceous-Tertiary asteroid impact site, referred to as 'cheek shaloo,' due to its potential for hydrocarbon deposits. At the time of drilling, it was not known to be an astrobleme, but it was later confirmed to be an impact site. This serves as an example of exploratory drilling aimed at locating hydrocarbons.
• 110:30 - 115:30: Impacts and Planetary Defense This chapter titled "Impacts and Planetary Defense" discusses NASA's efforts to compile and summarize various historical perspectives on comets, particularly focusing on ancient cultures' impressions and reactions to cometary events. The transcript highlights that this information is well condensed and accessible to the general public, making it easier for non-experts to understand. The narrator intends to utilize this comprehensive summary to convey critical insights about comets and their impacts.
• 115:30 - 120:30: Conclusions and Final Thoughts The chapter delves into the themes and symbolism associated with celestial phenomena like comets, asteroids, meteors, fireballs, shooting stars, and impacts.

The Apocalypse Unsealed: Fire, Water & the End of Worlds Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 greetings welcome to another edition of Squaring the Circle podcast i'm your host Randall Carlson in this episode we are going to be looking at some of the symbolism and traditions associated in in ancient times with cosmic impacts and their effects on Earth and civilization
• 00:30 - 01:00 when I was quite a bit younger back in the 70s I attempted to read and I did read most of a two volume set by HP Bolivatski called The Secret Doctrine i was very interested in anything that had to do with the mysteries of our own existence on this planet spiritual traditions hidden things all of that
• 01:00 - 01:30 one of the quotes that jumped out at me when I was reading in there and it's a very massive volume tone but home but the one thing I do remember was a quote that I that I wrote down and we'll we're going to begin with that i never tire of this quote by the famous historian Will Durant who said in the summation of a lifetime of
• 01:30 - 02:00 studying the history of civilization on earth he said civilization exists by geological consent subject to change without notice i think that this is an insight into the nature of our efforts to create civilization on this planet that needs to be taken into account but it's generally been sidelined in most of the popular culture and in the issues that concern
• 02:00 - 02:30 people and I refer specifically there to the to the concerns about anthropogenic climate change about which I have talked in depth and will continue to present information on that to try to put that whole controversy into some kind of a rational perspective frederick Sadi the Nobel Prize-winning chemist who passed away in
• 02:30 - 03:00 1956 said this the legend of the fall of man possibly may be all that has survived of such a time before when for some unknown reason the whole world was plunged back again under the undisputed sway of nature to begin once more its upward boilsome journey through the ages now what has happened since he made this quote is we know a lot more about our
• 03:00 - 03:30 own catastrophic history on this planet and we have some pretty good ideas about what those reasons were for the fall of civilization that's one of the big topics that we explore in this particular podcast and it's one of the major topics that has been the subject of this series that I've been doing on apocalyptic traditions ancient and an old English proverb says that
• 03:30 - 04:00 fire and water have no mercy and that I think hearkens back to the to the knowledge that fire and water have been the two primary agencies of global catastrophes that have come down to us in the traditions of apocalypse you'll note that the Bible begins after the expulsion from the garden of Eden and the the generations of the patriarchs 10th patriarch Noah
• 04:00 - 04:30 survives a great deluge a world destroying deluge a destruction of the world by water and that tradition has echoes through many dozens of cultures that have preserved traditions about gigantic floods and deluges cataclysmos was the Greek term for destruction of the world by fire from which we I mean I'm sorry by water from which we get the term cataclysm which specifically refers to world destruction
• 04:30 - 05:00 a watery destruction of the world we now know from the studies of paleo hydraology that gigantic unimaginably gigantic floods have really occurred in the recent geological history of this planet likewise the term ecarus the Greek term for the destruction of the world by fire we now know that fire has also been an agency of world destruction and that has been demonstrated because we can find the fingerprints of ancient gigantic fires in things like the core
• 05:00 - 05:30 samples taken from the bottom of lakes from core samples taken from ice cores in Greenland and other Iceland other ice sheets around the world and some of these conflrations have been extraordinarily huge and survivors of some of these that we're talking about here and will be talking about could easily believe that they
• 05:30 - 06:00 were destroying the world as a whole so let's continue on then with the testimony of history and the language of symbolism so here is the quote from HH HP Bulvasi Bllovatzki from the secret doctrine volume 2 anthropogenesis published in 1888 and this was the quote that intrigued me so much that it sort of helped to stimulate curiosity about the
• 06:00 - 06:30 things that she was talking about here so she raises some questions so let's read the modern archaeologist though speculating add infinitum upon the dolmans and their builders knows in fact nothing of them or their origin and that still is as true today as it was in 1888 yet these weird and often colossal monuments of unhuneed stones which consist generally of four or seven
• 06:30 - 07:00 gigantic blocks placed together are strewn over as Asia Europe America and Africa in groups or rows there is no country from which they are absent who built them why are they all connected with serpents and dragons so here's an example of what we mean by a dolman and you can see it's just a series of blocks and there's hundreds of
• 07:00 - 07:30 them and what was their purpose well to this modern archaeologists really don't know they says "Well it had a religious or a ceremonial purpose." And that's about as far as it goes i would suggest that what we're actually looking here is remnants of an ancient technology now that's not going to be the subject of of this episode of Square Circle but it is going to be a theme and
• 07:30 - 08:00 a subject that we explore in much greater depth in upcoming episodes so keep that in mind as we go forward here when I say technology and why an important hint or clue here is the association with dragons right now dragons are a very powerful and potent symbol that we find all over the world from China all the way down to Mexico and amongst Native Americans dragons or their counterpart
• 08:00 - 08:30 serpents or sometimes fire serpents so let's continue on here with this i love some of the modern depictions of dragons we see this great fierce beast mounted on a pinnacle presumably notice the wings because dragons could fly and for all enthusiasts of the Lord of the Rings and the stories of the JRR Tolken many
• 08:30 - 09:00 people know that dragons usually hibernate in caves and so dragons have this two-fold existence they can exist underground or they can exist in the sky and the symbolical meaning of the dragon is indicated by that dual existence of both terrestrial and celestial keep that in mind and as we go forward and we
• 09:00 - 09:30 start looking at this material if you have an opportunity to grab a notebook and a pen I highly recommend taking some notes particularly when we get into the specifics of the symbolism that we associate now with cosmic events okay so let's proceed now this is from a book that I read years ago thunderstorm thunderstorm stones and shooting stars meteors and meteorites in folklore in legends of Central Asia
• 09:30 - 10:00 meteors were fire serpents coursing across the sky sometimes these serpents brought problems and sometimes they brought hordes of treasure and riches to the folks from the Andaman Islands meteors were torches carried by evil spirits of the forest as they hunted for men okay fire serpents right here we see explicitly the association between serpents and even more precisely fire
• 10:00 - 10:30 serpents with the idea of meteors also we see that we got it's mentions here brought problems okay sometimes they could create problems sometimes they could bring hordes of treasure and riches now we're not going to be exploring that in this particular episode but we now know that some of the most richest precious metals and orbearing strata on Earth are associated
• 10:30 - 11:00 with cosmic impact such as Sudbury Astroleam in Ontario Vaport in South Africa and others were discovering in fact when when PEMX which was Petroleum Mexico was searching for hydrocarbons they drilled into back in this is back in the 80s
• 11:00 - 11:30 they drilled into the the Cretaceous tertiary astroleam which is called cheek shaloo because they felt they thought that that would be a very logical place for there to be a hydrocarbon deposit so even right there we have an example of exploratory drilling looking for hydrocarbons and drilling into what they at the time they didn't know was an astroblade but later was confirmed to be in fact impact
• 11:30 - 12:00 produced nasa did a has on their website they have a really good summation of comets in ancient cultures and some of the reactions and impressions of comets comet impacts and so on and that and so I'm going to I'm going to recite from that because it has a lot of good condensed information it's it's understandable by a lay person
• 12:00 - 12:30 it doesn't get too technical but it also covers some of the more prevalent symbolism associated with comets asteroids meteors fireballs shooting stars impacts and so on so we'll just we'll just go through that together and here we go comets have inspired dread fear and awe in many different
• 12:30 - 13:00 cultures and societies around the world and throughout time they have been branded with such titles as the harbinger of doom and the menace of the universe they have been regarded both as omens of disaster and messengers of the gods why is it that comets are some of the most feared and venerated objects in the night sky why did so many cultures cringe at the sight of a comet well I
• 13:00 - 13:30 think every year that goes by we're you know finding out more and more what the answer to those questions actually would be is that because of comets and their spring that result through the disintegration of comets Earth has suffered numerous catastrophes far more than just the single object that wiped out the dinosaurs what were the gods trying to say some cultures read the message by
• 13:30 - 14:00 the images that they saw upon looking at the comet for example to some cultures the tail of the comet gave it the appearance of the head of a woman with long flowing hair behind her and I will mention that the word kameta or kita literally means long-haired okay so there's another symbol if you're taking notes we've got fire serpents we've got torches and now we've got long hair okay this sorrowful symbol of mourning was
• 14:00 - 14:30 understood to mean the gods that had sent the comet to the earth to earth were displeased all right and this interesting sorrowful symbol of mourning is one we're going to look at again later it it has a very important role to play in deciphering Masonic symbolism so we'll come back to that others thought that the elongated comet looked like a fiery sword blazing across
• 14:30 - 15:00 the night sky a traditional sign of war and death such a message from the gods could only mean that their wrath would soon be unleashed onto the people of the land such ideas struck fear into those who saw comets dart across the sky the likeness of the comet though was not the only thing that inspired fear ancient cultural legends also played a hand in inspiring a terrible dread of these
• 15:00 - 15:30 celestial nomads the Roman prophecies the cyoline oracles spoke of quote a great conflration from the sky falling to earth while the most ancient known mythology the Babylonian epic of Gilgamesh described fire brimstone and flood with the arrival of a comet now I think we can make a scientific case that Epic of Gilgamesh was perhaps ahead of
• 15:30 - 16:00 its time because all of these things that were associated in the Epic of Gilgamesh with comets we now know we can scientifically demonstrate are in fact associated with the arrival of comets into an Earth crossing orbit rabbi Moses Ben Nakman a Jew living in Spain wrote of God taking two stars from and throwing them at the earth in order to begin the great flood now this
• 16:00 - 16:30 let's pause for a minute there two stars from Hea again I hate to keep putting things off we are going to come back to that because this is a really important clue that ties into understanding the whole process of global catastrophe associated with the younger dus and the younger dus potential impact event yakut legend in ancient Mongolia called comets the daughter of the devil and warned of
• 16:30 - 17:00 destruction storm and frost whenever she approaches the earth stories associating comets with such terrible imagery are at the base of so many cultures on Earth and fuel a dread that followed comet sightings throughout history well I would say that this dread and fear of comets has roots in very real memories and experiences of ancient people and of course I think modern
• 17:00 - 17:30 science is confirming that although we still seem to be more neglectful of that interpretation or that insight than we ought to be given what we now know so unlike their western counterparts Chinese astronomers kept extensive records on the appearances paths and disappearances of hundreds of comets extensive comet atlases have been found dating back to the Han Dynasty
• 17:30 - 18:00 which described comets as longailed feeasant stars or broom stars and associate the different commentary forms with different disasters you can add now to your list if you hopefully took my advice you paused the video you went and got yourself a notebook and a pen or you're doing it digitally however you're doing it and you're taking these taking notes and you're listing these things because this is the vocabulary of
• 18:00 - 18:30 ancient symbolism these are the words that are associated into phrases by which we can then interpret and understand a lot of the ancient symbolism okay so broomstarch add that to the list broomstarch we're going to we'll we'll continue we'll come back to this in just a moment here this symbolism of the broomstar although most human beings no longer cringe at the sight of a comet well yes because it's been a long time
• 18:30 - 19:00 since we have had at least in modern historical memory that we have an awareness or a remembrance of a commentary induced disaster however go back and listen to the episodes within this apocalypse series on the Tangusa event of 1908 i highly recommend relisting to that because there are so many lessons to be extracted from that particular event for the survival of our modern
• 19:00 - 19:30 civilization so although most human beings no longer cringe at the sight of the comet of a comet they still inspire fear everywhere around the globe from Hollywood to doomsday cults i think that doomsday cult is probably a reference to the when comet Hailbop flew by and uh the that one particular cult whose name escapes me at the moment committed mass suicide believing that they were going
• 19:30 - 20:00 to hitch a ride on the comet i don't know how that worked out for them but I suspect that they might have been misled somewhere along the way the United States even set up the Near Earth asteroid tracking or NEAT program specifically to guard us from these divine dangers however although they were once regarded as omens of disaster and messengers of the gods today scientific approach has
• 20:00 - 20:30 helped allay such concerns it is science and reason that has led the fight against this fear since the days of the ancients it is science and reason that has emboldened the human spirit enough to venture out and journey literally journey to a comet it is science and reason that will unlock the secrets that they hold now I concur with all of the sentiments of that last paragraph but I will say that the fear since the days of
• 20:30 - 21:00 the ancients was not unfounded and I think that science and reason is in fact confirming that truth and there are secrets to be unlocked from comets and we have a lot more to learn but there's a lot that has been learned that we need to take notice of and that's part of my motivation for doing this particular series in squaring a circle this was
• 21:00 - 21:30 from the journal Science and Christian Belief by the author Colin Humphre published in 1995 specifically about the star of Bethlehem which of course was the star that guided the three wise men to the to the nativity so in that article he mentions that the Chinese kept careful astronomical records of visible comets nova etc and use different terms to describe them a tailed comet was called
• 21:30 - 22:00 swinging meaning a broom star the broom referring to the tail of a comet all right and the noted Chinese astronomer Lee Shung Shun Fang has this to say on the subject of broom stars comets are vile stars every time they appear in the south something happens to wipe out the old and establish the new
• 22:00 - 22:30 and we can when we see some of the great comets in the sky we can see how the metaphor of a broom came to be applied to the appearance of comets from Mary Proctor a very readable book that gets in delves into a lot of the ancient symbolism associated with comets the romance of comets published way back in 1926 quoting from her book comets are called
• 22:30 - 23:00 broomstarss in China a name derived from the form of their tails which have the very prosaic name of brooms and the idea was that as a broom sweeps out the dirt and the debris and the dust of the old cleans out the room the floor whatever for the onset of the new the comets also served in that role we've already seen this quote but it's good to revisit the question who built them and why are they all
• 23:00 - 23:30 connected with serpents and dragons well again keep in mind the dual nature of the of the dragon both terrestrial and celestial because that's an important clue okay so now this is from study of comets in Islamic astronomy and astrology from the journal of near eastern studies published back in 1957 by oriental orientalist ES Kennedy one of the most respected
• 23:30 - 24:00 orientalists publishing back during that period the Ibenhinte so a Christian astrologer of Baghdad this individual in 829 wrote an astrological work called El Marini a copy of the second part is in the Bardesi stats bibliote in Munich on folio 67 of this document there begins a section entitled on the stars having
• 24:00 - 24:30 tails the passage states that there are seven such stars in the heaven or sphere of the sun surrounding if after the fashion of stars or sorry surrounding it it's a little typo there surrounding it after the fashion of stars the manuscripts names five of these okay so teur is an Arabic me name and it says here reference the comet name Typhon now we're going to come back to the typhon
• 24:30 - 25:00 here in a second aac is a Persian loan Persian loan word in Arabic meaning a short spear hence a meteor so add this now typhon in the myth of Marduk battling Typhon in this celestial great celestial battle and Marduk finally defeat defeats Typhon but then we have the Persian word which also means a spear because this is
• 25:00 - 25:30 another one of the images that was projected onto shooting stars comets asteroid phenomena that was visible fireballs in the sky and so on then als meaning the stick alle the bearded one and then finally d alasa the oops the hunchback so you can add these to the
• 25:30 - 26:00 list now of various imagery images and symbols associated with celestial phenomena okay let's go on these are some of the historical accounts of w of what from eyewitnesses of these kinds of celestial phenomena this is from the history of Japan i'm not going to try to angle probably Angelberg Kemper MD translated by JG Schuer of London 1728 now this is referring to events in
• 26:00 - 26:30 the reign of Son which began in 29 BC so in the 36th year of his reign it rained stars from heaven in Japan in the 40th year of his reign on a clear and serene day there arose of a sudden in China a violent storm of thunder and lightning comets fiery dragons and uncommon meteors appeared in the airs and it rained fire from heaven
• 26:30 - 27:00 now this is why I'm going to be highly recommending that you go back and relisten to the episodes specifically about Tungusa the Tungusa event of June 30th 1908 is probably the preeminent most prominent cosmic lesson that humans can learn about our relationship to the earth and the sky and our ancient ancestors beliefs and
• 27:00 - 27:30 experiences with these same phenomena notice here several things let's take note here a violent storm of thunder and lightning well we know that this was associated with Tungusa absolutely it was experienced many people interpreted what they experienced as being a violent storm and we have fiery dragons uncommon meteors and then we have specifically saying it rained fire from the sky does
• 27:30 - 28:00 that mean that it triggered terrestrial fires i don't know they're not specific enough but this idea of fire from the sky is one that is repeated over and over again in in the traditions of olden times now going back to Mary Proctor comets have sometimes been pictured as dragons and according to plenty the shape of a comet indicated its character as a portent
• 28:00 - 28:30 thus some were shown as arrowheads sea monsters swords lances and flames in AD69 according to Josephus several signs appeared in the sky announcing the destruction of Jerusalem and this is quoting from Josephus amongst other warnings a comet one of the kind called Zifus because
• 28:30 - 29:00 their tails appear to represent the blade of a sword was seen above the city for the space of a whole year so now we can add this the blade of a sword right a spear a fire serpent a torch okay arrowheads lances all of these have been very frequently associated with the kinds of phenomenon we're talking about here so rather than
• 29:00 - 29:30 explicitly describing these experiences in terminology that we would recognize from a scientific perspective they had their own symbology and once we understand the symbology and the meaning we can go back and we can review a lot of the ancient writings the ancient prophetic writings and so on and see them in a whole new context and that's exactly where we're going with this section of Squaring the Circle podcasts on the
• 29:30 - 30:00 traditions of apocalypse this is from a European chronicle set down around a th000 AD also quoted in Proctor and in Sean that's the Carl Sean's work on comets the heavens having opened I want you to notice this now this is referring to this is again back in a th000 AD from a chronicle back then and describing the
• 30:00 - 30:30 heavens as opening okay the heavens having opened A kind of burning torch fell upon the earth leaving behind it a long train of light similar to a flash of lightning okay here's where we can begin to see the correlation also we know from fireballs and impacts in meters there can frequently be electromagnetic phenomena associated with them that manifest as as lightning
• 30:30 - 31:00 such was its light that it frightened not only those who were in the open country but those who were within doors as this opening in the heavens slowly closed men saw with horror the figure of a dragon whose feet were blue and whose head seemed continually to increase now of course that would make perfect sense if the comet is approaching and the nearer it gets the greater the nucleus
• 31:00 - 31:30 now appears in the sky so it's also probable that this comet was associated with an entourage of debris which we now know can be the case with a lot of comets there may be a main nucleus but then there may be say satellite material that's associated with it some of this may directly impact the earth where the nucleus itself
• 31:30 - 32:00 doesn't fall to earth but this is very interesting this this this idea of the opening of the heavens and then closing again and the figure of a dragon so here's contrib contributions towards the history of these star showers in former times written by Edward C heric published in the meteorological journal back in 1841 and he had collected a lot of these ancient accounts that he
• 32:00 - 32:30 included in in this work of his so AD764 in the same year in the month of March stars were seen falling from heaven so that all the beholders imagined that the end of the world had come there was also a great drought and the fountains were dried up now this idea that took hold of so many of the eyewitnesses and and those who
• 32:30 - 33:00 experienced these events was clearly apocalyptic over and over again we see that in some of these grander scale events the witnesses thought this is it this is the end of the world right they certainly believe that with with regard to the Tungusa event but many others as well and this also now from the naturalistic perspective we find these interesting correlations we learned from
• 33:00 - 33:30 the accounts of Tungusa that and we know from the scientific evidence that there was an earthquake a relatively strong earthquake that was felt right and but now the first impression would be most scientists would dismiss any correlation or connection between things terrestrially and things celestially like the nearby
• 33:30 - 34:00 visitation of a comet right i would say that that might be premature we should consider that there may very well be correlations and links between what goes on out there and what goes on down here below problem is too many scientists as gatekeepers of the rational and the the establishment view of things are too ready to dismiss astrology now of course they're
• 34:00 - 34:30 dismissing astrology and its modern degenerate forms but because they do that they don't realize that that the origins of astrology had had their roots in this in the correlations between what happened in the sky and what happened in the earth and now we can make a pretty strong case that yes there is this pattern of interaction between earth and sky and it's not just based upon some silly superstition or some new age fad but
• 34:30 - 35:00 actually has real world roots and that's again will be a theme that we're going to be exploring much greater detail the possibility that that out there what happens out there might actually be affecting things like droughts and and other things as well so this was this from the Stfanis chronographia the history of Bzantium if you want to take notes and
• 35:00 - 35:30 actually dive into this yourself think you'll be able to use some of these references and go into Google Scholar and maybe even find some of the original stuff now most of this I've collected 10 and 20 years ago there's even more now available than there was back then okay this is from an Arabic paper and this was quoted this guy M fran L institutes that
• 35:30 - 36:00 would be French this was what happened in 1889 November 14th which possibly puts it very close to being if if the modern dates if they're using our modern calendar this puts it right during the the Leonid meteor shower in the year 286 of the Higiraa there was an earthquake in Egypt on Wednesday the 7th of the month i won't
• 36:00 - 36:30 even pron try try to pronounce that from midnight until morning and stars called shuhub or luminous meteor meteors were in extraordinary commotion going from east to west and from north to south in such a manner that no mortal could look at the heavens now right here this is interesting okay an earthquake there was an earthquake on Wednesday the 7th of the month and then from midnight until
• 36:30 - 37:00 morning the stars called shoe hub were an extraordinary commotion probably falling to earth now is it possible that there was was atmospheric detonations as we found in Tangusa that was associated with an earthquake why not i mean otherwise it's just simply a coincidence but what I'm proposing here is that when we look at the traditional accounts that have come
• 37:00 - 37:30 down to us we find these correlations in such abundance that it becomes hard to dismiss all of them as being merely coincidence and we know from the lessons that we've learned from Tangusa that yes that it a cosmic impact even if it's an aerial detonation or an aerial bombardment can be and will can be associated with an earthquake okay so this is not at all stretching it to think that here
• 37:30 - 38:00 this event is talking about a phenomena where earthquake and you know meteors bolides being the the collective term are associated okay notes found on a calendar and printed at the end of the chronic cavi moratori so this is Italian anyways ad 931 or
• 38:00 - 38:30 934 in the same year appeared signs in the heavens among the stars which appeared some falling others blazing like torches the 14th day of October the second day of the moon so here again now torches right now this is completely disconnected culture cultural experience than what we referred to earlier but we find disperate cultures projecting the same
• 38:30 - 39:00 type of symbolism here in this case torches ad AD55 on October 17th this year there was a fall of stars during the night preceding the first day of the month Jadi or Higera 241 which continued from the beginning of the night until dawn at the same period earthquakes were felt in all parts of the world again are we looking at a
• 39:00 - 39:30 coincidence here or are we looking at a unified phenomena that the fall of these stars from the heavens and the terrestrial response in the form of seismic shaking or earthquakes that they're part of the same event i think we need to be seriously considering that and to reiterate this is one of the things the important lessons takeaway lessons from the Tangustka cosmic lesson
• 39:30 - 40:00 okay ad 935 in the year 323 several violent shocks of an earthquake were felt in Egypt the third day of Dada at about the same time many of those meteors called falling stars of a very remarkable kind likewise appeared in Egypt i would like to mention that one of our original sponsors at Cosmographia CBD from the Gods is following us here to our new podcast Squaring the Circle
• 40:00 - 40:30 as many of you know I've been using their products for going on four years now and having tried a number of CBD brands CBD from the gods seems the most effective for my needs which is primarily as a sleep aid and as a remedy for inflammation and associated pain i use both the oil and the sav my wife also likes their products especially the sav which alleviates the pain in her hands which is the result of working for

• 41:00 - 41:30 even in say in the case of an atmospheric impact like Tangusa or an actual impact into the ground certainly an impact into the ground of a hypervelocity object is going to trigger earthquakes now here again what we have to realize and think about is that many times the evidence is now suggesting that many times impacts can occur in clusters now witnessed in one
• 41:30 - 42:00 place you know there were people who you know experienced some of the after some of the effects of Dungusa without knowing that it had been an event in the sky right people heard what they described as a subterranean rumbling like the the sound of multiple freight trains passing under their feet without really knowing necessarily at maybe a 70 miles away there was this
• 42:00 - 42:30 tremendous violent atmospheric explosion right so you may have people in one area witnessing the fall of of cosmic debris right but somewhere far removed from them there might be an actual impact or an aerial burst along the lines of Tangusa that they're unaware of but they are aware of the secondary consequences which manifest as as
• 42:30 - 43:00 earthquakes okay so then we get to what I consider some of the most important work on our catastrophic past on this planet the work of neoc catastrophists from Britain two of the most prominent Victor Clube and and Bill Napier they wrote a book came out in 1990 called The Cosmic Winter which I have read i think it's probably available online but it's probably out of print so it may be expensive but you can look it up if you can get a hold of it highly recommend it
• 43:00 - 43:30 if it's still available we will put a link on our updated website which will be coming out very soon and we'll put a link to that in our bookstore of recommended reading anyways this is what they have to say later there was another attempt to defeat Zeus when the Earth gave birth to Typhon a flaming winged monster whose head reached to the stars who had a hundred serpents heads in place of
• 43:30 - 44:00 fingers who was nothing but vipers from the waist down and whose eyes flashed fire typhon was destroyed by Zeus's thunderbolts and fell a flame to the ground now that's very interesting because there's a parallel there with the story of fate the son of Haleos who tried to drive his father's chariot in the path of the sun but because he was too weak and exper inexperienced the four great steeds pulling the chariot deviated away from the path of the
• 44:00 - 44:30 clipic clipic descended to earth set the earth on fire and in order to save the earth Zeus had to hurl a thunderbolt at fatan and he then met his demise by falling to earth falling and then falling into the river Aerodonis so we have in this case Zeus's thunderbolts taking out Typhon and Zeus's thunderbolts taking out Fatan then then the authors here go on
• 44:30 - 45:00 Typhon is explicitly recognized as a comet in classical and early medieval times very important right now so as yeah being described as such by the astrologer Lidus in AD 490 to 565 by Plutarch and by Plenny who 800 years after he should describes a comet called Typhon having spiral like glowing red knots the spiral motif as we have seen
• 45:00 - 45:30 could only have been connected with a comet if it were an extraordinary body and Carl Sean in his book on comets suggests that possibly a rapidly spinning nucleus throwing out tons of volatile gases could give the give that appearance and in fact he even associates shows and I can show you in as we go here even in the Chinese accounts of comets and the different
• 45:30 - 46:00 types of comets there's one type of a comet that's represented as a as a whirling type of object that would looks like a swastika okay and possibly even I think that Carl Sean was intimating that that could have been the origin of the swastika symbol as a symbol of cosmic power so here is
• 46:00 - 46:30 a ancient Babylonian cylinder seal that shows Marduk here doing battle with the great dragon Tiiamat so this is a counterpart to the battle between Zeus and Typhon so Tiiamat has all of the same characteristics we just associated with Typhon and ultimately Marduk defeats the great dragon Tiiamat and I would suggest that this could be a possible reference to
• 46:30 - 47:00 a to a cosmic event and you can see here some of the stuff that that Marduk is wielding it looks like he could be wielding even a vagra here we see notice this figure over here this up here this could be the sun or it could also be something exploding in the sky
• 47:00 - 47:30 and just as a reminder the Tangusa cosmic event this is 5 miles from ground zero 20 years after the blast something like 820 square miles of old growth Taigga forest were completely decimated tens of millions of trees were destroyed and this would be enough to take out any urban area on Earth an explosion of this magnitude we've discussed it multiple times here in these episodes
• 47:30 - 48:00 15 megat tons a 15 megat ton blast is about roughly equivalent to the largest nuclear hydrogen bombs tested in the American arsenals during the peak of the cold war back in the 1950s so here theatum kticum from 1667 this is a traditional European depiction of a comet and meteors as cosmic
• 48:00 - 48:30 serpents now with this we're just going to look for a second ant orbit of a typical meteor stream this this being the torid meteors now for those of you that have watched my Halloween presentation I include this and was actually created this for the Halloween presentation which even though it's focused on Halloween it it's a broad net
• 48:30 - 49:00 that covers a bunch of stuff that most people don't realize is all interrelated and interconnected and then manifests through our ceremony our yearly observation of Halloween which was ultimately descended from the universal observation of the Day of the Dead what we're going to look do here is we're going to look at this and you're going to see that you've got two orange ellipses here now this is based upon
• 49:00 - 49:30 photographic studies that were done by Fred Whipple originally but what they do is if you look at two of them what I've done is I've selected two represent the limits of the torid stream right so if you look here you can see here's the sun let's go through this this is the sun and here's the orbit of Mercury here's the orbit of Venus and here's the orbit of earth here's the orbit of Mars
• 49:30 - 50:00 the arrows show the direction of the orbits so we're going around this way this is the orbit of the Earth going this way the stream is moving this way and it and it this is the orbit of Jupiter so you can see that the reason I've picked these two is they kind of pre demarcate the limits of the of the shower right so one was at kind of at the outermost limit one was at the
• 50:00 - 50:30 innermost limit of the shower so you can see if the earth is moving around the sun here and then it takes some passage of time this is actually a couple of weeks to traverse this distance here i'm going to go to the next one here so yeah now you can see I've provided some dates here i've done a little graphic here to help visualize that this is the meteor stream here now you can see here as the meteor streams are coming in this way they make their
• 50:30 - 51:00 parihelion passage it's called parihelion meaning it's closest to the earth to the sun right parelion right so then it comes around this way it comes from behind the sun and then roughly around June 30th it is when the earth crosses the stream okay then some months pass June July August September October and then at the end of October the early November we see that
• 51:00 - 51:30 the Earth crosses the stream a second time now the difference here between these two crossings is that in June it's crossing the orbit the torid meteor shower as the stuff is coming from its close passage by the sun so obviously if you think about it if you're here looking upstream to see where this stuff is coming from you're not going to see much because you're looking almost directly at the sun whereas when you get over here to November 1st you're looking
• 51:30 - 52:00 upstream so an object approaching during this stream here is going to be visible much sooner than it is over here on June 30th for obvious reasons right you can see that right here you're look if if an object is approaching you're looking upstream towards the sun you're not going to see it until the very last second basically and then here looking away from the sun you're looking out following this
• 52:00 - 52:30 arrow and it leads directly to the Pletes the Pletes the star cluster is the radiant point if you will where the the meteors appear to be emanating from okay now the Pletes in the classical depiction of Taurus the bull and hence the name the torids the torid meteor shower the pletes occupies the shoulder of the bull so basically if you're going to go out
• 52:30 - 53:00 on around November 1st actually it takes couple of weeks to cross the whole stream but it the peak of that is around the the last few days of October and the first few days of November now in the Halloween live stream that I did which is now available the whole recorded ver the whole recorded version of it is is available online you can download it I think it's pretty affordable but it
• 53:00 - 53:30 goes into explaining this association between the tor meteor shower and the origins of Halloween and the day of the dead and I think if you're interested in this kind of stuff at all if you're interested in the catastrophic history of our planet its effects on civilization if you're interested in symbolism and metaphors if you're interested in some of the ceremonial traditions and customs of our own modern times there's a lot to unpack in that
• 53:30 - 54:00 Halloween presentation that I put together but this is the thing to keep in mind now we've talked so much about the Tangusa event now here I think you'll be able to if you haven't put these this two and two together yet here here's your opportunity tunguska occurred on June 30th right at the peak of the summertime torids so the timing during the year was precisely what it would have needed to have been in order to be a member of the
• 54:00 - 54:30 torid family of meteors comets and asteroids okay secondly eyewitnesses describe describe the the emergence of the meteorite as coming from the sun some of the descriptions refer to it as being born out of the sun some of it some of the one of the descriptions saying born as it were from the sun well
• 54:30 - 55:00 in other words because it's coming for directly from the sun or or it appears to be from the vantage point of an observer on the earth so that's precisely where you would expect a torid meteor to be coming out of the sky okay so its placement in the sky is consistent with a torid meteor and its timing is consistent with a torid meteor that doesn't mean that Tatangusa it doesn't prove that it was a
• 55:00 - 55:30 member of the Torid meteor stream but what it does do is it makes a very strong circumstantial case that that is in fact what it was and and Bill Napier has written a whole paper on looking at the evidence that possibly the younger driest bolide or multiple bolides as the case may be were members of the torid meteor stream
• 55:30 - 56:00 okay so here now is kind of what we post with the studies that were done in 1986 and afterwards with the return of comet Halley we learned something about the structure of comet nuclei which we kind of already knew but which is which I think is very significant especially in understanding the way it may have affected the ancient world and also the these events were encoded into symbolism
• 56:00 - 56:30 so here is the type comet nucleus and now in the next image we're going to look at a cutaway view and what we have here is we have a frozen icy matrix loaded with volatiles that we can see are outgassing here and then macroscopic debris now all of this stuff could be anywhere from large chunks of ice to boulders that are being contained within this matrix here
• 56:30 - 57:00 then there's a there's a crust that kind of binds it all together but when a comet nucleus comes in close to a planet or comes in toward towards the sun both gravity forces and thermal forces can cause the comet nucleus to begin to disagregate or to disintegrate it begins with the outgassing of volatiles as is depicted here but you can visualize from this what would happen if this nucleus
• 57:00 - 57:30 completely disintegrated well what you would have then is you would have countless thousands hundreds of thousands possibly of shooting stars that could range from specs the size of a grain of sand to the size of your thumbnail all the way up to the size of the Tangusa object and larger now the Tangusa object remember estimates are there was about 150 ft in diameter well a 10 mile
• 57:30 - 58:00 do comet nucleus like this could contain potentially hundreds of thousands of Tangus- like objects this is something that we should keep in mind because if we're basing our ideas of planetary defense upon just a single you know isolated asteroid impact of course that might be one scenario and then we know from repeated close encounters over the last 20 or 30 years since we've been really keeping track that impacts of
• 58:00 - 58:30 asteroids are way more common than we would have previously imagined and this is something that I document and get into again in the series on the the apocalyptic series and squaring the circle so I highly recommend because this is such an important subject i highly recommend going back and reviewing those re-watching them and as you watch them for the second or even the third time that's when you're going to begin to see the connections forming that's when you're going to begin to see
• 58:30 - 59:00 sort of an integral pattern linking all of these things together right from impacts that leave astroblams and craters in the ground to to air bursts like Tungusa to near misses that we know we've experienced repeatedly in the last 20 or 30 years i started keeping track and and recording near misses in 1988 and there's been at least several hundred since then and the episodes
• 59:00 - 59:30 dealing with that the square in the circle episodes dealing with that phenomena I call while man close encounters while mankind sleeps because the majority of of the human race the human species including professionals and scientists other than a small group are basically oblivious to the fact that many of these events have been occurring in recent times and I think let me see if I can pull
• 59:30 - 60:00 this up here in this past year this past June June 29th i may have talked about this i'm going to talk about it again though because it was really such an important wakeup call for us in June 29th of this year now notice the date notice the date right so this is of the summertime torids so asteroid 2024 MK flew past the Earth well within
• 60:00 - 60:30 the lunar orbit now I'm going to say and I'm not it's going to not going to be the focus of this particular discussion but we now know that there's no necessarily clear line of definition separating comets from asteroids we now know that a we've seen and witnessed a lot of ca asteroids that are displaying cometary behavior apparently outgassing volatiles and so on we also see what look to be devolatile devolatilized
• 60:30 - 61:00 comet nuclei that are very much like asteroids okay so this is something that we're kind of like you know the definitions here of asteroids on one side comets on another side are beginning to to dissolve okay so anyways on June 29th of this year asteroid 2024 MK flew past the Earth well within the lunar orbit i I wrote this you know in maybe late summer after this had passed it was one
• 61:00 - 61:30 that I found particularly impressive so I wrote about it and that's what I'm reading from here it was only discovered on June 16th less than 2 weeks before its rendevous with Earth this asteroid was estimated to be between 500 and 800 ft in diameter now that's much much bigger than the Tungusa object right this something that's 800 feet in diameter would be remember because if these are roughly spherical then the volume of a sphere
• 61:30 - 62:00 scales by the cube of the radius so we can talk that's something that I've talked about and we'll talk about again just so we get a sense of the scale so anyways this this object 2024 MK flying past the earth it was much bigger than Tangusa okay with only a slightly now here's the thing with only a slightly different trajectory this object could have collided with the Earth causing an
• 62:00 - 62:30 explosion with the power of at least 500 to 600 1 megaton hydrogen bombs now this is more than the combined energy of all nuclear weapons presently in the world had it been on this slightly different trajectory and had it made an Earth impact it would have blasted a crater somewhere be around 2 and 12 miles
• 62:30 - 63:00 wide and about 1,500 ft 1,500 ft deep fireball generated by the impact would have been well over 3 miles in diameter and in a densely populated area such as the east coast of the United States more than a million people would have been instantly vaporized in the fireball or killed from the blast another 200,000 people would die from the 240 del shock wave about half a
• 63:00 - 63:30 million people would receive thirdderee burns and another 2 and a half million would suffer from secondderee burns within 9 to 13 miles of the blast center survivors would experience lung damage and ruptured eard drums within 25 mi of the impact epicenter trees would be knocked down and ignite into flames most buildings would collapse up
• 63:30 - 64:00 to 22 miles from the impact site and houses within 30 miles would be destroyed a powerful earthquake at least 6.3 on the RTOR scale and probably much greater than that as you are in the proximity of the actual impact epicenter would kill thousands of more people and it could be felt up to 40 miles or more away the peak wind speeds
• 64:00 - 64:30 emanating outward from the area of the blast would reach up to 8,000 miles per hour inside of 20 miles of the blast it would have felt like being inside inside an F5 tornado so the natural calamities that could affect human civilization in profound ways are numerous yet I mention this the priorities of most of the
• 64:30 - 65:00 political establishment entirely neglect these possibilities in favor of contrived scenarios built on cherrypicked science exploited to promote a pre-ordained conclusion that humankind is causing a climate crisis by the use of fossil fuels but the irony of this is that as we stand on the threshold of a new industrial civilization based upon plasma physics if it is not suppressed the whole question of fossil fuel use and CO2
• 65:00 - 65:30 induced climate change becomes irrelevant but not to get off on that on that track now so anyways I'm going to show a couple of pictures here to give you the There we go so here we have a second generation disintegration of comet Schwasman Wman fragment B photographed by the Hubble P space telescope April 18th 2006 and
• 65:30 - 66:00 what we see here is what we know now know as the ultimate fate of con comets if they don't crash into planets or fall into the sun and that is they disintegrate and they create meteor streams but in those meteor streams you might have extraordinary arily major objects such as Tungusa and up up to perhaps a half kilometer or kilometer in diameter in fact it's been estimated
• 66:00 - 66:30 by Clue and Napier that in the Torid media stream there may be dozens of objects that we haven't detected yet that could be half a kilometer to to a kilometer in diameter and then of course this was another one of the great cosmic teaching events of recent history this was the impact of 21 objects from the disintegration of an original single
• 66:30 - 67:00 nucleus in 19 July 1994 shoemaker Levy 9 and what we learned from this is that yes comets can start out as a single nucleus they can fragment and produce multiple nuclei and these nuclei can then crash into planets in this case it was Jupiter what had been happening here most likely is that for hundreds of years or centuries maybe even millennia Shoemaker Levy 9 un
• 67:00 - 67:30 unbeknownst to astronomers on Earth been circling between the sun and Jupiter well each passage around Jupiter Jupiter's great gravity field tightens its orbit and brought it in a little closer and what we discovered was it was Carolyn Shoemaker and David Levy who were co-discoverers of this comet so therefore it bears their name and what we saw was the last or we could
• 67:30 - 68:00 say yeah the last parajovian orbit of this nucleus it passed so close to Jupiter without hitting it but it passed so close to Jupiter that the incredibly strong gravity field of Jupiter literally ripped the single nucleus into 21 pieces and it was discovered just as this fragmenting nucleus was emerging from behind Jupiter and then over the next 3
• 68:00 - 68:30 or 4 months it was seen that these 21 separate objects spread out in space and formed a so-called string of pearls after 3 to four months of observations the astronomers were able to to construct its its elliptical geometry and they were able to construct its period of revolution and once they had those two major facts in hand they were able to project where it was going
• 68:30 - 69:00 to be and when it was going to be going into the future so it's sort of an example of prophecy if you will they were able to predict that in around the second week of July 1994 these objects this train of chain of pearls was going to cross Jupiter's orbit once again but what made this so significant was the fact that when they crossed Jupiter's orbit and where they crossed Jupiter's orbit at that time and place Jupiter itself was going to be
• 69:00 - 69:30 right at that spot and therefore these 21 pieces were going to collide with Jupiter which they in fact did it was the most watched astronomical event of the 20th century at that time extremely important lessons that we have derived from that because now prior to Shoemaker leaving 9 most models of cosmic impact just single isolated events one object one
• 69:30 - 70:00 impact but with this we learned that yes you can have a multiple impact event i believe that this set up the potential for a model of the younger dus encounter because it looks to me very much like there was more than a single impact associated with the younger dus the lower younger dus boundary there have may have been multiple impacts in fact I would speculate that there could have been 10 or more impacts between Earth and members of
• 70:00 - 70:30 some disintegrated comet back during the Younger Dus and we are going to explore and get up to date on what the latest research says about the Younger Dus in a series of upcoming episodes we're going to really unpack that and try to derive what lessons it has to teach our modern civilization because let me say this you know archaeologists now are going to claim that there's nothing really
• 70:30 - 71:00 happening in prehistory that could be construed as science technology advanced civilizations they're all always down on Graham Hancock calling him names because he's willing to ask questions and hypothesized the possibility that there may have been going more going on in ancient history than has been recognized up to this point well that scenario is completely dismissed by the archaeological establishment who for whatever reason are highly invested in
• 71:00 - 71:30 this uniform linear model they've got of prehistory that excludes any possibility for an advanced or ci sophisticated or scientifically based culture now this is a question that I feel is not closed to scientific inquiry and needs to be investigated we're going to get into that that's part of the themes we're going to be exploring in depth with this podcast and with Cosmographia the sister podcast that I'm still doing with Brad
• 71:30 - 72:00 Young and and a number of other hopefully visitors that will be able to be bring their expertise to the table remember cosmographia comes from the term cosmography which was sort of the all-encompassing view of how the world system works okay that's why I chose that particular name for that podcast so because of the fact that there are these sort of divergent areas but of course overlapping I feel like it was
• 72:00 - 72:30 advantageous to actually have two podcasts that sort of have slightly different but overlapping zones of interest okay so I think we're getting to the point where we're going to wrap up this episode we'll look at the next slide image here and I think we'll close with this this is comet linear and we see here two stages of the fragmentation in the first stage of the breakup of the nucleus here and then if
• 72:30 - 73:00 you zoom in on this you can see and if you look this up online I think you can find some fairly high resolution images of this again take your notes from just pause this whenever you want to get more references or whatever and you can see I've got the references down here for you to find it but what's happening here is the single nucleus is broken up into hundreds of of subnuclei if you will now you can imagine that the Earth encountering a
• 73:00 - 73:30 blob a swarm I'll call it a swarm like this the probabilities of an impact are going to be much higher than you would have if it was a single object now if it was all in a single object obviously that one progenitor object would be more catastrophic striking the earth than one of the subnuclei that we see here one of the pieces right however the probabilities of being struck by the
• 73:30 - 74:00 earth once the nucleus is fragmented into hundreds or perhaps thousands of pieces that probability is going to be much much higher see and if some of these pieces are in the range of tenus and bigger up to two three two three 400 feet in diameter and earth is struck by multiple image uh objects of that scale yeah it would be like a nuclear war without of course the radiation unless
• 74:00 - 74:30 of course what we now also know from Tangusa is that there was a dramatic drop in ozone in the aftermath of the Tangusa event a drop in ozone now allows you know the ozone acts as an insulating blanket that helps to prevent cosmic radiation from striking the surface of the earth so if you have an impact or multiple impacts along the lines of Tangusa it's likely that the ozone layer is going to be dramatically
• 74:30 - 75:00 affected allowing greater bombardment of cosmic rays so there's a whole set of secondary phenomena here that we need to also be looking at and as we go into this in the next episode I'm going to be continuing to dive deeper into the symbolical representation of these events by ancient cultures and we're going to see how a lot of the the traditions of prophecy were based upon this kind of a phenomena and the experience of this
• 75:00 - 75:30 phenomena i'll make the final analogy here is that the astronomers looked at Shoemaker leaving nine and were then able to project into the future and determine that a year hence that this was going to strike Jupiter in a way they were like prophets of old now if we you know there's there is going to be in 2029 there's going to be
• 75:30 - 76:00 a near miss between Earth and an asteroid the question is is will that asteroid then come back to just like with Shoemaker leaving the the gravity field of Jupiter drew it ever every every orbit around it drew that object that comet in closer right the question is is this the occurrence of the 2029 object going to undergo a similar
• 76:00 - 76:30 process but here's the thing once we've determined with a high degree of precision the orbital elements that's what you call the orbital elements of any orbiting object whether it's a comet or whether it's an asteroid or whatever you can now make predictions with a high degree of accuracy as to where they're going to be and when they're going to be there right so what that does is it kind of puts the modern astronomers who now can make predictions and pred projections like this sort of in a way
• 76:30 - 77:00 is like our modern-day prophets and I'm going to suggest the idea that the traditions that have come down to us of intensive obsessive observations of the sky and what's happening in the sky were all about being able to predict and understand the heavenly motions that were going to affect life on Earth here below and so that will be where we continue with this in the next episode of Squaring the
• 77:00 - 77:30 Circle thanks for joining me and I hope to see you again and look up our work on howto.com randallcarlson.com and we'll see you in the next episode thanks greetings welcome to another episode of Squaring the Circle i'm your host Randall Carlson and we're going to be exploring continue to explore some interesting topics that I feel are actually extremely important for we the human species to know
• 77:30 - 78:00 [Music] [Applause] about so we've been talking about cosmic impacts for a number of episodes now in fact I think this is going to be part 11 of the Apocalypse Unsealed series that I hope that somebody who works their way through all I think it's
• 78:00 - 78:30 going to end up being 12 parts all 12 parts will come away with a pretty thorough understanding of this whole phenomena that I believe lies at the core or the foundation of all of the myths of apocalypse traditions of apocalypse that have come to down to us through the ages from multiple cultural sources all right so I think what we'll do is we will just dive right in here
• 78:30 - 79:00 and start exploring some of the relevant information and let us try to do this and see what happens we are going to start by talking about comets let's see what do we want to start so here we go comet we want to start with a definition first then we'll move on from there a comet is a celestial body moving about the sun in an elongated orbit usually consisting of
• 79:00 - 79:30 a central mass the nucleus surrounded by a misty envelope which is the coma it extends into a stream which is the tail in the direction away from the sun and it's taken from the middle English this is an important clue right here for as we begin to decipher some of the ancient ways of encoding apocalyptic traditions okay it's taken from the middle English
• 79:30 - 80:00 which is taken from the Latin which comes from the stem of comea or cometa which is taken from the Greek and that is a modification of cometes which literally means longhaired and for anybody who has ever seen a comet you should know you you would know that with the with the tail you can almost imagine that somebody in earlier times might have looked at this phenomena and seen the tail of the comet
• 80:00 - 80:30 almost as if it was long hair streaming out and important point here it says it's always pointing away from the sun now that's somewhat different from the trail okay we're going to be looking at the tail and the trail the tail is the gaseous the ion tail if you will it's basically plasma okay the trail is actual debris that is spalling off of the comet now we
• 80:30 - 81:00 now know that comets have a life cycle and in the final stages of their life cycle they begin to disintegrate that's part of their their final phase of their existence or their life cycle is that they begin to disintegrate now if we go through just very briefly we can cover this we're we'll cover this in more detail as we go along but you can think of a comet having five phases in its in
• 81:00 - 81:30 its life cycle and we're not going to go through and break it all down now but just you know that at the beginning a comet is probably refugees left over from the creation of the solar system left over from the creation the the construction of the planets the inner solid bodied planet planets okay so the comets reside in two reservoirs the Kyper disc and the cloud and I've got a
• 81:30 - 82:00 nice graphic from the same company that does Star War walks too which we'll look at in a second and you'll be able to envision this but you've got these two reservoirs this is what you want to keep in mind now there's some little bit of controversy but I think at this point the two reservoirs there's enough evidence that these that they're real that they exist that if you actually look into the studies they're pretty rigorous they're pretty robust that there are these reservoirs of comets
• 82:00 - 82:30 that contain literally billions upon billions of of comets okay so these objects are generally very sly very slowly orbiting circling the sun they're very far out there i think what we'll do is we'll go to let's see if we can see the Kyper disc here i've got a nice graphic here we go this is this is Veto Technology Incorporated they're
• 82:30 - 83:00 the makers of the Starwalk 2 they got a bunch of cool apps if you're into astronomy that you can get for your download for your phone for your computer whatever you want i've got I do Starwalk on my phone and I love it i go out and I see a celestial object in the sky want to know what it is boom i just turn on my my Starwalk i aim it many of you know about the these there are other similar apps but I use the Starwalk too
• 83:00 - 83:30 you just aim it at the sky point it after you've calibrated it very simply then you point it at the sky at the object and you'll get a nice screen coming up that'll show you what exactly it is you're looking at and in fact I might even open it up here and see if let you look at it but looking at this graphic let's go back to the graphic here on my PowerPoint show
• 83:30 - 84:00 and so this here you can see here this is like a sphere this is the the the UR cloud it's it's generally spherical okay then you have the the Kyper disc is a flattened area that most likely just grades into the the spherical cloud and you can see what this graphic here's this is showing the the area the region of the inner planets and that of course is the region within
• 84:00 - 84:30 which we reside on planet earth now the thing is is we have to now enlarge our thinking because we generally think of well the solar system oh yeah it's it's the sun and nine planets well not including the fact that Pluto has been demoted so now there's only eight planets but we all us older people we always grew up with the nine planets and it included Pluto and I certainly can understand the arguments for not
• 84:30 - 85:00 including Pluto but we won't get into Anyways we always think of the solar system as being well the nine planets but really we have to enlarge our thescape scope of our thinking now to include the Kyper disc and the cloud because they are an integral part of the whole system and how it works without those we essentially the the whole thing wouldn't wouldn't function at all so the point is is that these are in a sort of a quasi stable rel configuration i would
• 85:00 - 85:30 say you could you could explain it that way they're they're very very sensit sensitive to any kind of perturbation at all right but the fact is the out there in that region of in the vacuum of space there just aren't many perturbations that are going to upset them well on the larger scale the large the frame of the or cloud what we would assume is that
• 85:30 - 86:00 perhaps nearby supernovas that cause gravity waves and shock waves to move through the move outward from the from the epis from the from the nova okay that could upset the balance the the very precariously balanced clouds comets that are in the cloud right perhaps a passing
• 86:00 - 86:30 star could dis dislodge comets from the earth cloud now what's going to happen out there is those those cloud comets that zone goes almost like halfway to the nearest stars which is three to four or five light years away if it gets jostled it might go one of two things it might go further away from the sun and get captured into the orbit of another star
• 86:30 - 87:00 or it could start migrating towards the sun now the Kyper disc might be more influenced by the gravitational effects of the big four outer gaseous planets which is Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune now we're going to talk about that again in in probably in the next episode in the next part about this we'll get down into talking in detail about the five phases of a of the life cycle of a comet but what you're seeing here would
• 87:00 - 87:30 be the first phase in the life cycle of a comet which is they're out there essentially in deep freeze right they've been there for millions of years in a in this close to zero absolute zero temperature out there in deep space but if something disturbs them and they start migrating in towards the solar system then they enter another phase of their life cycle they actually become active you have to think of them in a way as hibernating and then as they come
• 87:30 - 88:00 into the inner solar system or move towards the sun they begin to wake up now we can now differentiate between the sources the two source regions for comets that are entering into a an orbit around the sun one if they're coming from a steep angle to the to the plane of the ecliptic which is the the the the orbital plane of the planets then they're probably from the
• 88:00 - 88:30 Earth cloud if you just look at this graphic here you can see that essentially you could come a comet could come in towards the inner solar system from any direction right if something perturbs it it starts moving and it moves in towards the sun it can come in like at a steep angle now the plane of the ecliptic is the the orbital plane of the planets if a comet comes in on that plane it's probably originating in the Kyper disc because the Kyper disc is essentially in that plane of the
• 88:30 - 89:00 ecliptic extending out before it grades into the or cloud so what causes comets to become dislodged from the Kyper disc and start moving towards the sun probably more the influence of the like I said the planets and again there's a very interesting geometry between the masses the ratio of the masses and the distances of the outer four gaseous planets and its effect on the inner zone of the Kyper disc anyways if a comet is
• 89:00 - 89:30 coming in from the or cloud and it's coming in from a steep angle chances are it's on a parabolic orbit which means you know if you know your the geometry of your conic sections you know that a that a parabola is open-ended right so if a comet comes in on an open-ended a parabolic orbit it's going to come in it's going to make a loop around the sun and it's going to go out and it'll probably never return
• 89:30 - 90:00 if it comes in from the Kyper disc it tends to get caught between a Jovian orbit Jupiter and the sun so it's it's it's oscillating back and forth if you will it orbits the sun and either goes out to Jupiter and goes outside of the orbit of Jupiter or it'll sometimes flip and come inside the orbit of Jupiter in any case those comets are going to be the ones that are
• 90:00 - 90:30 the most dangerous in terms of their the consequences of their life cycle in terms of Earth because they lie in the plane of the planets now comets disintegrate that's part of their life cycle the nucleus of a comet is not very solidly bound in fact it's more like an icy matrix and it's sused with volatiles and a variety of different kinds of
• 90:30 - 91:00 material and if that thing starts to come apart then it spews a lot of debris into its orbit that is what forms the trail meteor showers are part of the solid material that has ultimately originated from a comet okay and we we we've looked at some of that in the the previous episodes so let's just go on here and see what's coming up
• 91:00 - 91:30 we don't need to get into this right now but what this shows you is the what's called the orbital elements and with these scientists can essentially become prophets of cosmic phenomena because if they know the if they know this geometry if they know these things here descending node ascending node perihelion first point of Aries and the plane of the ecliptic and the aelion if they know those know those things if they know those elements they can make very
• 91:30 - 92:00 accurate predictions about where an orbiting object is going to be and when it's going to be there and this is just another variation of it okay so this is what I wanted to get to here are some comets this is comet Cahoot late 1973 when that came in early 1974 what I remember about this particularly is I and I do remember it well is because this was the one of the first times when I really remember that there were these a lot
• 92:00 - 92:30 of concern and fear because a lot of people believed that comet Cahoot signaled some kind of apocalyptic event was going to happen and there were all these predictions around it and so on about sweeping global changes and and things that were going to happen which as I recall didn't really happen other than that comet Cahoot was a beautiful object in the night sky for a few weeks actually a couple of months
• 92:30 - 93:00 but as far as my own cons interests were it really did stimulate my interest in these kinds of phenomena so My I could say that my interest in comets really kind of goes back to that comet Cahoot and that was would have been the first comet I ever saw personally and then there was the image of comet Hayuki taken by Shigimi Numazawa from Digata
• 93:00 - 93:30 Japan now comet Hayuki came by very close to the time of comet Hailba now there was some interesting things about Yukataki that we learned is that it had a lot of methane ethane and even acetylene it was discharging acetylene okay now that's very interesting and in my cosmographia shows that I did talking about the great
• 93:30 - 94:00 firestorms I I mentioned that as possibly being a factor of significance i want you to notice here the the blue tail coming off here the blue gaseous tail many comets have that blue gaseous tail comet west now this is very to me interesting because this the the tail of the comet was such that one can really understand how a lot of ancient
• 94:00 - 94:30 peoples particularly the Chinese looked at comets and and thought of great cosmic brooms in fact they were even I don't know the Chinese word but they were called broom comets and interestingly because of the traditions and the associations with near comtary apparitions they came to believe that a comet approaching the earth indicated or heralded great sweeping
• 94:30 - 95:00 changes in the world as we now know scientifically in some cases that is absolutely true there's another one of comet Hayuk again notice the blue tail and I like always like this one i use this in the Halloween presentation that I did because it has such a ghostly appearance h's comet this was photographed during its 1910
• 95:00 - 95:30 apparition and yes this is oftenimes comets were actually in Vid it's interesting think about this now when you talk about like a ghostly appearance the appearance of a ghost or a a ghostly figure like that it's referred to as an apparition and when you talk about the appearance of a comet they use the it's the same exact term apparition so I kind of mentioned
• 95:30 - 96:00 that as being maybe perhaps more than coincidental in the Halloween presentation that I do so yeah this this I like this picture because it really does kind of convey sort of that ghostly sense and how there were people who who witnessed in some of the eyewitness accounts they are described in language that would indicate that they were thinking of ghosts comet
• 96:00 - 96:30 Holmes yeah here's another 1910 showing a tail detachment look right here you can see the tail is beginning to detach right here you see this so here's 60 sec 7 seconds after impact comet Temple 1 being struck by the deep impact spacecraft right here now Temple is associated with one of the great meteor streams the
• 96:30 - 97:00 Leonids and comets of se 1744 this is Chesso's comet of 1774 the comet's head you can't see is below the horizon and notice this is really would have been a sight to see the tail fans into synced six distinct streams or it rays the inset down here shows the relation of the tail here to the hidden nucleus
• 97:00 - 97:30 if you could see the entire comet at once and just a pair of fireball well you've got one great Leonid fireball coming in here and it's got a little attendant with it now were these two circulating as completely separate objects before they encountered this atmosphere or did this smaller piece break off the larger piece i have no idea what the answer to that is
• 97:30 - 98:00 and just a nice painting that was done obviously pre 911 and I kind of thought this was sort of significant in the aftermath because it almost looks like the comet is headed for the twin towers that would have been comet Hailbop I believe okay so now let's take a look at the nucleus of a comet now after the last apparition of comet Halley in
• 98:00 - 98:30 1986 learned a lot about comets that we didn't know before and we got considerably deeper insight into the structure of a cometary nucleus now I've shown this before but it doesn't hurt to review it quickly you'll see the the volatile spewing out here and then when you take a cross-section what you see here is solid material it could be anything it could be silicut
• 98:30 - 99:00 material and you see the volatiles the gases spewing out and the point here now this is this along the long axis here this is about a 10 mile wide long comet it could have literally thousands of these macroscopic chunks in it that once the comet begins to disintegrate you'll see that it can litter its pathway with all kinds of stuff now like I said
• 99:00 - 99:30 meteors are the byproduct of comet disintegrations right now typically your shooting star is going to be very tiny it's probably not going to be much bigger than your thumb and it's but it's still going to be when it comes in at such a high rate of speed it can create when that potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy it can make quite an impressive light show now if you get something bigger the size of your fist or size of a of a basketball or larger it can really be a
• 99:30 - 100:00 spectacular site and we know we've we've talked a lot here in these series of Apocalypse Unsealed about Tungusa and that event so go back and review that that episode of this series because there's a lot of material here and if you really want to get a a good solid handle on on what what the implications of this are
• 100:00 - 100:30 you really need to revisit some of the stuff so you can get down because remember the old saying the devil is in the details and you're going to find out in a very interesting way that yes the devil really is hiding in these details so speaking of comtary nuclei breaking up here's the famous string of pearls from Shoemaker Levy 9 this is a cometary debris chain now this was a single comet nucleus but just before its discovery it
• 100:30 - 101:00 had passed very close to the surface of Jupiter now all the big planets have this zone with surrounding them that's the where the gravitational field is strong enough to overcome the coherence the cohesiveness of a cosmic body like a comet now you you'd probably logic would tell you and that that like a solid asteroidal type body is going to be much less prone to disintegrating than a
• 101:00 - 101:30 cometary nucleus which is mostly a bunch of stuff encased in ice right so what we had here was a single nucleus that fractured as it passed into the what's called the ro limit remember the ro limit is the zone the within the gravitational field of a primary is strong enough to overcome the coherence of a secondary now in this case obviously a very big planet like Jupiter
• 101:30 - 102:00 is going to have a very strong ro limit that extends quite a ways out and of course a comet is going to be weakly bound so it's going to pass within that ro limit and the gravity field of Jupiter is literally going to tear it apart in this case here we had one nucleus that became 21 nuclei now this was in uh March of 1993 that it was discovered so now astronomers this named Shoemaker Levy 9
• 102:00 - 102:30 after Carolyn Shoemaker and David Levy who co-discovered the comet uh just as it's emerging into the field of view around Jupiter so it was three I you think maybe no more than four months of observations allowed astronomers to calculate all those orbital elements that I just showed you right the two main ones were number one the geometry of the elliptical orbit right the second
• 102:30 - 103:00 one was its velocity now all of that can and then of course you know the plane of the ecliptic is already already established the ascending node and the descending node that's just a matter of of gathering the empirical data right but once you have all of that and then you look at the and you've got enough observations over a long enough period of time you can take a piece of that ellipse that it defines its orbit and you can then reconstruct the entire
• 103:00 - 103:30 elliptical orbit now if you know the changes in the velocity and it is changing because as the comet let's say is moving away from Jupiter the gra the gravity field of Jupiter is going to tend to want to slow it down but as it moves away from Jupiter Jupiter's gravity field its influence gets less and less and the gravity of the sun becomes more and more and eventually it's the gravity field of the sun that
• 103:30 - 104:00 that now dominates the velocity of the comet and then of course it's going to be accelerating but all that can be worked out it's all it's all just the matter of using using calculus you can calc you can you can compute those changes so now you've got the two you've got the geometries and you've got the the shape of the ellipse you've got the velocity and now you can you can run it forward or you can run it backward you'll know where this thing has been
• 104:00 - 104:30 and a lot of these studies of like say the torid meteor stream i'll I'll use that for an example there are two streams the the the the of the torids there's the the the daytime torids and then there's nighttime torids and they're slightly different orbits just slightly different so undoubtedly what happened is that sometime in the past a single piece broke into two pieces and then
• 104:30 - 105:00 subsequent to that those two pieces also disintegrated further and basically produced two meteor streams and within those meteor streams we have comet Anki and which was probably well I won't say probably almost certainly part of the original cometary nucleus there's also couple of asteroidalike bodies and another cometary body called Jatoto so it's it's
• 105:00 - 105:30 actually quite a populated family of cosmic material right well it was was undoubtedly at one time all in a single nucleus of a very large comet that came into the old solar system probably between 25 and 30,000 years ago how do we know that well because once we've established these orbital parameters like I said we can now run it forward or we can run it backwards the
• 105:30 - 106:00 astronomer Fred Whipple was probably the first one to do this back in the 40s when he had I think 14 he had photographs of 14 meteors within the torid meteor stream and he was able to calculate their orbits reverse them and realize that they were all part of a single object somewhere around 5,000 years ago okay because what happens you start reversing these meteors and you follow them back and back and they're
• 106:00 - 106:30 going backwards through their orbits and then they all converge on the same point in space well that's when you know that they were part of a single object that then broke apart right now you can also run it forward and that's what that's what astronomers did and they were able to predict that it was going to this material was going to come in make its perihelion or close passage by the sun go back out to the orbit of Jupiter right and cross the orbit of Jupiter what they then realized was that when
• 106:30 - 107:00 that stream was crossing the orbit of Jupiter guess what jupiter was at that point in its orbit so they knew it was going to be a series of impacts and they were able to predict right down to the day when those first impacts were going to hit here is a artist's rendering of what it would have looked like if we could have seen it from a vantage point near Jupiter
• 107:00 - 107:30 three different perspectives this is what we actually saw the material came in and was striking Jupiter just on the other just enough around the sphere that we couldn't we couldn't see directly the impacts what we did see though was the effects of the impacts once Jupiter or rotated around and here would be what it would look like if we had been slightly looking at it from a somewhat different perspective the 21 pieces would have
• 107:30 - 108:00 come in and fallen into the Jovian atmosphere and created when they did this they created these gigantic plumes that were bigger than the Earth and the interesting thing the takeaway here is that what astronomers realized was that any one of these objects you take any one of these 21 objects they were all big enough that were just one of these objects to encounter the Earth it would be a major
• 108:00 - 108:30 catastrophe what about 21 objects well that would be an extinction level event now nobody no astronomers believed or thought that we would witness something like this until we witnessed it you know that was something that you would call an an extinction level event if it occurred on Earth now I I think that in a way the cosmos was kind of giving us a a a lesson here in the potential of our existence within
• 108:30 - 109:00 the universe right it's most likely that multiple impact events and this is one of the the insights gained from this event here is that multiple impact events are a whole lot more common than had been imagined prior to Shoemaker Levy 9 prior to Shoemaker Lev9 most researchers and astronomers and geologists people who are looking at in any way the impact phenomena are generally thinking in
• 109:00 - 109:30 terms of like one single impact of one single object well Shoemaker Levy 9 has demanded that we rethink our the phenomena of of impacts right because now we have 21 impacts in a week what does that mean what would that mean in terms of Earth well obviously something like this would be like I said it would be more than enough to terminate civilization it would be an extinction
• 109:30 - 110:00 level event and now that we're going back and taking a closer look at some of the cratering effects on other bodies I believe this is on the moon you can actually count here 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 looks like this was about 12 pieces and the fragmentation would have occurred very close to the impact the moment of impact
• 110:00 - 110:30 why well because the longer that these pieces are in orbit before they disintegrate into dust or separate further the further apart they're going to be well you can see these objects are really close together you can see these are a little bit further apart right so you can kind of survive from that you can see here like this one here you've got almost two distinct completely distinct craters if
• 110:30 - 111:00 we look at the back here you can see that they're all pretty much overlapping so from this you can you can determine that you know this fragmentation that produced this chain called kina they're called kina crater chains probably had a little bit more time between fragmentation and impact here's another one and here you can very clearly distinctly count the number of impacts and pieces so this could have been again I don't
• 111:00 - 111:30 know could have been an asteroid that broke up because asteroids do break up they certainly do a lot of asteroids have suffered extremely catastrophic lives smashing into other asteroids so they can become fractured they can become cracked so as long as you know they don't run into anything else like a this running into a planet or a strong gravity field the the object
• 111:30 - 112:00 may hang together but then when it comes into makes a close approach by a planet falls into a gravity field those that that conglomeration of material can then separate and and form separate bodies separate objects and here's another one so they're relatively common now we talked a lot about Tangusa spent I mean I think I we did two episodes in this Apocalypse
• 112:00 - 112:30 Unsealed series diving into Tungusa because Tangusa had so much to teach us about the cosmic ecosystem of which our world is a part and which we ultimately must pay attention to if we think in terms of long-term survival of civilization we're going to have to deal with that right because what we now know is that impacts that can have global consequences occur a whole lot more frequently than we thought a generation
• 112:30 - 113:00 or two ago in fact major impacts may occur every 1 to 2,000 years that could dramatically affect the stability of civilization again Tenuska has shown us that one object carried the force of a 15 megat ton hydrogen bomb now what if we have multiple tunguskas now if we're looking at this surface of the moon well there's
• 113:00 - 113:30 going to be a difference there a fryable object like a cometary nucleus which is breaking up doesn't have to go through an atmosphere so it it's going to be much more likely to strike the surface of the moon or say Mercury where or one of some of the other moons say of Jupiter or Saturn which have also show crater chains on them so whereas an object like Tangusa well remember important point didn't make it to the
• 113:30 - 114:00 ground did not hit the surface of the ground it blew up in the atmosphere right so a Tangusa event doesn't leave a crater so this is important so how many what is the ratio here's the question and what is the ratio of impacting objects that leave a crater that can later be counted and the number of impacting objects that merely that strike the atmosphere do not make it to the ground and therefore they do not really leave a major geological imprint
• 114:00 - 114:30 that can be cataloged later on and as it turns out interestingly it's almost certain that Tangusa type objects are going to be way more common than the higher density objects that can actually penetrate fully through the atmosphere and strike grounds leaving a hole in the ground the crater and and here we use the comparison of of Tangusa to Meteor Crater in Arizona now Meteor Crater in
• 114:30 - 115:00 Arizona is an iron object about the same size as the tenus object what's the difference well an iron object is a whole lot denser it's going to penetrate fully through the atmosphere and strike the ground whereas the tongus object doesn't penetrate the atmosphere blows up five six miles up in the atmosphere blows down hundreds of millions of trees but well say a 100red million
• 115:00 - 115:30 trees but it does not leave a crater okay so here's the question then what is the ratio of impacts of denser objects like say a carbonatous condritic meteor which is going to be much more prone to striking the ground and here's a here's a good continuum to think of comets on the low end of density scale like a snowball on the high end of the density scale cast iron that's an iron object right in the middle somewhere is the
• 115:30 - 116:00 stony asteroids which is about about roughly like I said about in the middle okay so you've got this continuum and on the on the low density end of the continuum you're not having impacts into the ground unless of course they're quite large now an object the size of the tungusa is going to be something along the lines of maybe a quarter of a mile before it actually strikes the
• 116:00 - 116:30 ground right so what's the ratio of dense objects that strike the ground compared to low density objects that blow up in the atmosphere and don't leave a big crater in the ground and it looks like it could be like 10 to one so in other words for every crater there might be crater such as you would see in Arizona meteor crater we might have 10 to Tangusa type now this is important right because
• 116:30 - 117:00 again if we're only counting craters we're probably underestimating the number of encounters between Earth and cosmic objects by a factor of by an factor of 10 all right and here we see this is in some interesting photographs here here we see Kwashman Wahman in the early stages of disintegration right here so we we've actually witnessed multiple times now
• 117:00 - 117:30 that comets do disintegrate and here you can see the closeup of the debris tail you can see this is there's larger stuff here that's probably could be anywhere from you know half a kilometer and up in size smaller stuff could be you know hundreds of Tunguska objects and then within that there'll be you know lots and lots of you know really small stuff that will eventually become part of the of a meteor stream okay just another
• 117:30 - 118:00 one where you can see look at look at the separation that is occurring here so you've got the major nucleus here and then you've got like a secondary nucleus here they've separated and then look at here look at the little offspring coming off of the second one see and this is what comets do and if they don't get swallowed up by the sun which is if they if they don't disintegrate and turn into a meteor
• 118:00 - 118:30 stream it's likely that they're going to fall into the sun and that's where a lot of them end up and then potentially like we saw with Shoemaker Levy 9 falling into Jupiter and or Earth or any of the other planets okay and then the comet linear look at this down here you can see the the debris swarm here now I want you to think about this the difference we're talking about
• 118:30 - 119:00 between an encounter with a single object and what would be how different it would be to encounter a recently a swarm of recently disintegrated commentary material it would be two very different things and and you can see that from the standpoint of encountering a cluster of or a swarm I like to use the term swarm of debris it could be very different we do computer modeling to let's say model say
• 119:00 - 119:30 a meteor the size of 150 ft in diameter roughly the size of the iron asteroid that struck Arizona right now we can model that we can we can model we in coefficients for its density for its velocity for its angle of approach we can then calculate how much energy is released during that particular impact right and then we can we can then conjecture about the consequences we can say okay it's going to release a
• 119:30 - 120:00 fireball there's going to be x amount of of material volume of material injected into the atmosphere there's going to be fallback material what we call fallback brecha is going to come back to the earth perhaps start secondary fires what happens though if it's a 100 impacts or more do you see how suddenly it gets so complicated that what happens if we have meteors falling into a forested area
• 120:00 - 120:30 where there can be huge forest fires generated as let's say falling into an arid area like a desert where there's not the forests right we know from Tungusa that about 200 square miles of the of the impact zone was incinerated right we know about 820 20 miles were affected by the the blast wave and knocked down something like 800 800 Yeah 800 and
• 120:30 - 121:00 some square miles of old growth tiger forest was utterly flat right what happens over the oceans what happens over if they're in an Arctic zone what would happen and this is a question that's intrigued me for a long time what would happen over an ice sheet let's say you had a encounter during the depths of an ice age when large swaths of the earth's
• 121:00 - 121:30 surface are covered in ice right well you can see right here if if the Earth encounters a swarm like this that like we're seeing in this image right here this swarm could be actually many times the the the size of the Earth itself now if the earth is passing through this we might be looking at periods where you have clustered bombardment and given the scale of this swarm it could be affecting dep and depending how quickly the earth cross
• 121:30 - 122:00 through the stream it could have enormous consequences that would be very very difficult to model right i think this might be one of the things that we're going to have to be thinking about and when we start looking at the ancient traditions which we're about to do in a minute I think you'll see that there is some amazing correlations between some of the visions and prophecies and and accounts that have come down to us
• 122:00 - 122:30 through these various venues actually in a religious context which which we have to assume could certainly be plausible that experiences and people witnessing these things and surviving encounters like this think about what happened with the single event of Tangusa it spawned a new religion didn't it remember we talked about that agi the fire god that descended to the earth and according to the Tangusi
• 122:30 - 123:00 tribal beliefs now that event triggered the emergence of a new religion and Agdi the fire god was punishing them for their transgressions and so on right so if one single object an event like a tangusa object could spawn a religion a religious response what about 10 or 100 should we assume otherwise that it wouldn't okay we're
• 123:00 - 123:30 not going to get into this now we're going to talk about this later probably in the next episode the five stages in the life cycle of a comet but very briefly aggregation is the hibernation activation disintegration and amalgamation okay so let's go on here and I'm going to just zip on through Tungusa we talked about this i'm not going to you know re reiterate all of this just maybe a quick refresher we
• 123:30 - 124:00 went through this material already so please go back and review this in order to get that maximum depth of understanding i don't think we went through all of the accounts but we did enough that I think you got the gist of it the kinds of things the underlined parts here what we're going to focus on here was too bright for the naked eye and it had a bluish white light now that's interesting in in terms of what we just
• 124:00 - 124:30 saw with a lot of commentary nuclei the tails are bluish there's a reason for that it moved vertically downwards for about 10 minutes the body was in the form of a pipe cylindrical now I remember my grandfather who was a boy in Sweden used to tell a story to me and my brothers when we were little about something that he saw and I remember I really it made kind of an impression on me when he would tell that story and I would puzzle over it he said it was at night he was out walking next to a lake
• 124:30 - 125:00 and a big like blazing pipe he saw it in the sky and it fell down into the lake and I had no idea at that time what in the hell he was even to what you saw looked like a blazing pipe i had no concept of what he was even talking about but of course later on now I figure he probably saw a a major encounter of a bow line now it may or may not have actually fallen in the lake that he was next to i don't
• 125:00 - 125:30 remember enough details from his story but one of the common phenomena that people seeing witnessing fireballs major fireballs is they give the illusion of being much much closer than they actually are in fact I got some stories here you know people like there was a oh a cowboy who saw one one night he was out on his horse and when when it and of course it came over it was many miles
• 125:30 - 126:00 over his head but he literally thought it was about to hit him and he ducked down in the saddle on his horse so we'll just go through here all the inhabitants of the village ran out this was probably Vanavara the old women wept everyone thought the end of the world was approaching this is something that we find over and over again in these cosmic events people thinking that it's the end of the world so right there you can see
• 126:00 - 126:30 end of the world well what does that do well it obviously invokes the the the the picture of apocalypse and what happens and the traditions of the end of the world let's go on here this I may not have mentioned but this is an interesting point the flight and fall of the meteorite on the 30th of June 1908 amongst the greatest meteoric phenomena known to mankind must occupy one of the foremost places because of the magnitude
• 126:30 - 127:00 of the phenomena accompanying its movement through the atmosphere it is unlikely now this is written in 34 it is unlikely that our generation may again be witnesses of a similar meteoric phenomena however as it says here if it had occurred 4 hours and 47 minutes later when the city of Len Lenrad would have lain on the same parallel near the center of the explosion our knowledge of it would probably have been considerably more extensive and also the implications
• 127:00 - 127:30 for history would have been very different if a major city of the world had been annihilated back in 1908 might have changed the perspective who knows maybe World War I would never would have happened i would like to mention that one of our original sponsors at Cosmographia CBD from the Gods is following us here to our new podcast Squaring the Circle as many of you know I've been using their products
• 127:30 - 128:00 for going on four years now and having tried a number of CBD brands CBD from the gods seems the most effective for my needs which is primarily as a sleep aid and as a remedy for inflammation and associated pain i use both the oil and the sav my wife also likes their products especially the sav which alleviates the pain in her hands which is the result of working for years as an electrician if you've been thinking

• 128:30 - 129:00 13th published right there in Siberia and describes an extraordinary atmospheric phenomena a noise as a strong wind right this is this is very interesting metaphor here the noise as a strong wind of course it's more than a metaphor because they heard this sound and it was followed immediately by a fearful crash accompanied by a subterranean shock which caused buildings to
• 129:00 - 129:30 tremble one had the impression that some huge beam or heavy stone had possibly struck the building this was followed by two for further equally forceful blows so then there was followed by between 50 and 60 bangs becoming gradually fainter during all this time the ground is trembling okay and then as eyewitnesses relate the
• 129:30 - 130:00 before the first bangs were heard a heavenly body of fiery appearance cut across the sky from south to north inclined to the northeast inclined okay an incline this is important neither its size nor shape could be made out owing to its speed and particularly its unexpectedness and part of that again as we talked about that unexpectedness is it was becoming it was coming from the
• 130:00 - 130:30 direction of the sun now this is important in trying to get a sense of the identity of this cosmic visitor because it was coming from the direction of space precisely where one would expect a member of the torid meteor family of objects to be coming from it also came during precisely the time of year when the earth is crossing the torid meteor stream so those two factors together make a strong circumstantial
• 130:30 - 131:00 case that the Tungusa cosmic object was a part of the Torid families so here this is another interesting metaphor here the way it's described many people in different villages distinctly saw that when the flying object touched the horizon a huge flame shot up that cut the sky in two okay I want you to be trying to
• 131:00 - 131:30 visualize this as we're going through this and we've already gone through this so I'm not I'm going to skip a lot of it so the glow was so strong that it was reflected in rooms whose windows faced the south I'm sorry face the north because these villages are to the south of the sight of the explosion apparently the glow continued for at least a minute since many peasants in the field noticed it as
• 131:30 - 132:00 well bangs were heard as soon as the tongue of flame disappeared so you can see that the visual impression precedes the audio impression because the soundwave has taken if we're van here I think we're 20 to 30 mi probably this this encounters 20 to 30 mi away the blast the area of the blast on the island opposite the village horses began to we cows to low and run wildly
• 132:00 - 132:30 about one had the impression that the earth was just about to gape open and everything would be swallowed up in the abyss again important descriptive metaphor okay fearful bangs resounded from somewhere shaking the earth and the invisibility of the source inspired a kind of superstitious terror people were
• 132:30 - 133:00 literally dumbfounded and then from another newspaper account a mighty noise was heard resolving into thunder cracks although the sky was cloudless at the time the noise caused houses to shake many inhabitants saw a fiery body like a beam so here we get this this analogy of a beam once again it shot from south to northwest above the ground before they
• 133:00 - 133:30 heard the thunder immediately afterwards the bang was heard and in the place where the fiery body had disappeared a ton of fire appeared and this was followed by smoke and then Vaseli Ashen Achen he was one of the Aeni people who gave his testimony to Krinov who was one of the scientists that went and collected a lot
• 133:30 - 134:00 of the eyewitness accounts so he was sleeping in his tent when suddenly his tent was just torn away and he was thrown aside then the ground shook there was incredibly loud prolonged roaring and then everything roundabout was shrouded in smoke and fog the burning trees eventually the roar died away the wind dropped but then the forest went on burning
• 134:00 - 134:30 so other accounts the children of Evan Podigga camped on the river Aarita so they were awakened by a loud rumble explosions were heard everywhere the earth trembled and there was a loud cracking noise what was this cracking noise well it was probably plasma discharges is what my thought was but
• 134:30 - 135:00 then was this was followed by what they describe as a terrible storm during which they could hardly keep on their feet and this terrible storm flattened the forest near their tent and far away towards the north there was a kind of a cloud that rose up and then this was the testimony of Seov also
• 135:00 - 135:30 given to Krinov while he was collecting eyewitness accounts in 1930 so he was sitting on the porch of his house in the village which was a trading station of Vanavara and at breakfast time and he was happened to be looking toward the north and he was going to hoop a cask so he says he raised his ax i guess he was going to open a cask of something when suddenly in the north the sky was split in two and high above the
• 135:30 - 136:00 forest the whole northern part of the sky appeared to be covered completely with fire at that moment he says I felt great heat as if my shirt had caught fire i wanted to pull off my shirt and throw it away but at that moment there was a loud bang in the sky a mighty crash was heard i was thrown to the ground about three senses away which would be about
• 136:00 - 136:30 20 to 25 feet from the porch and for a moment I lost consciousness my wife ran out and carried me into the hut the crash was followed by the a noise like stones falling from the sky or guns firing the earth trembled and when I lay on the ground I covered my head because I was afraid that the stones might hit it at that at the moment when the sky opened a hot wind as from a cannon blew
• 136:30 - 137:00 past the huts from the north then we have the the tale of Marfa Bayanova she was 19 when the meteorite fell and she was at the trading station in Vanavara she had gone to a spring for water and as she began to draw the water she was standing beside so her friend her friend was
• 137:00 - 137:30 Marfa and this was the testimony I'm sorry this was the testimony of Semanov's daughter Aselova so she went out to the draw water with her friend Marfa so Marfa began to draw the water and Kosalova was standing beside her facing north then she says "Suddenly before me I saw the sky in the north open to the ground and fire poured out we were terrified but then the sky
• 137:30 - 138:00 closed again and immediately afterwards pangs like loud gunshots were heard we thought that stones were falling from the sky and rushed off in terror leaving our pale by the spring i ran with my head down and covered because I was afraid that stones might fall on it when we reached the house we saw my father Seov lying unconscious near the barn opposite the porch of the house marfa and I carried him into the hut we were
• 138:00 - 138:30 terribly frightened at the time the fire is brighter than the sun during the bangs the earth and the huts trembled greatly and the noises at first were very loud and seemed to be right above our heads well the explosion of course is 25 mi away or maybe even more but yet the impression they had was that stones were falling they're ducking because they think these stones are going to fall and hit them in the head
• 138:30 - 139:00 so this is from a letter that Kulich received 1935 through 1936 by a certain nenco from the village of Keshma and so he's describing how it was in the morning the day was unusually clear not a single cloud was to be seen no wind stirred and there was absolute silence
• 139:00 - 139:30 suddenly far off still hardly audible was heard the sound of thunder made us look up unvoluntarily in every direction the sound seemed to become to come from beyond the river Anara and then it became louder and louder rapidly there was something extraordinary about it the first fairly faint crash resounded but when I turned quickly in the direction of the crash I saw that
• 139:30 - 140:00 the sun's rays were crossed by a broad fiery white band on the right side of its rays on the left side towards the north an irregularly shaped brilliantly white somewhat elongated mass was flying into the Tyga with a diameter far greater than the moons approximately 2 to 3 seconds maybe more after the first faint crash a
• 140:00 - 140:30 second louder crash of thunder resounded as loud as that generally heard during a storm after the second crash the ball was no longer visible but its tail or rather the streamer was now completely on the left side of the sun's rays then after a shorter interval of time than that between the first and second crashes the third thunder crash occurred this was so loud as though there were
• 140:30 - 141:00 several crashes all mingled together within it that the whole ground trembled an echo like a continuous deafening roar resounded through the Tyga indeed it seemed through the whole Tyga of vast Siberia the Carpenters after the first and second crashes had crossed themselves in stupifaction and when the third crash
• 141:00 - 141:30 resounded they fell backwards from the building onto the chips of wood some of them were so stunned and utterly terrified that I had to calm them down and reassure them we all abandoned work and went into the village there whole crowds of local inhabitants were gathered in the streets in terror talking about the phenomena and then from another account
• 141:30 - 142:00 we see who was this was a one Cokerin who was sailing down the river Angara in the north a pale bluish light glowed and from the south a fiery body that was considerably larger than the sun left a broad bright streamer behind as it flew across the sky then such a canonade broke out that all the workmen who were in the boat rushed to hide in
• 142:00 - 142:30 the cabin forgetting all about the danger that threatened from the rapids the first bangs were faint but became progressively louder the sound effect he estimated lasted 3 to 5 minutes the intensity of the sounds was so great that the boatman were completely demoralized then we have that a large group of local inhabitants say they first noticed a
• 142:30 - 143:00 ball of fire in the north coming down obliquely obliquely to the horizon from east to west when it approached the ground it changed into important symbol a pillar of fire after its disappearance a cloud of smoke was seen rising upwards from the ground a few minutes later a loud noise was heard with separate deafening crashes like peels of thunder
• 143:00 - 143:30 these crashes were followed by eight loud bangs like gunshots the first bang was exceptionally loud and accompanied by a whistling noise so I think you get the impression here the Tongas people wandering beyond the hamlet of Nijni Karolinsk say that the thunder was
• 143:30 - 144:00 terrible so many of these accounts now the reason I'm going over this and reiterating is because I want you to get these impressions in your mind i want you to get these pictures which is which is being described here go a couple more on the 17th of June now this is because it's the it's an older calendar that was used the 17th of June and the older calendar corresponds to June 30th of the Gregorian calendar okay at 17 at 7:15
• 144:00 - 144:30 a.m the northwest a pillar of fire appeared in the shape of a spear okay so here's another emblem another symbol that we're going to learn is frequently attributed to these kinds of events when people are struggling to try to fit this these kinds of events that are for the most part completely outside the experience the human experience they're looking for anything they can to try to
• 144:30 - 145:00 describe what they're experiencing and what they're seeing okay so it becomes very valuable to look at these these the imagery that they invoke the symbols that they invoke because we can now use that to go back look at more traditional and ancient accounts and to see those ancient accounts in a different light in a different perspective okay so a pillar of fire appeared in the shape of a spear
• 145:00 - 145:30 so we're going to go look a little bit and I'll give you an idea of where we're going this and and where we will go to where where we're headed to for the next episode so I'm going to read a verse from the Armenian Apocalypse of Daniel which goes back to around the into the first few
• 145:30 - 146:00 centuries BC and as I'm reading some of these I want you to keep this imagery of Tungusa in mind and what we've just learned and what we've learned over the last 10 episodes of this apocalyptic phenomena so here's how it reads then shall the sun be darkened and the moon changed to blood the stars shall fall down like leaves
• 146:00 - 146:30 and the heaven shall be rolled up like a scroll and all things shall be scorched and parched by the wind fiery angels shall come down from heaven and fire shall flare up throughout the whole world let's look at a verse from the eth chapter of the book of Revelation and the angel took the sensor you know a
• 146:30 - 147:00 sensor is what the what the the the high priest is the burning in the burning coals or the burning incense thank you the burning incense and this is what the angel is taking this is again a me a metaphor here the angel took the sensor filled it with fire of the altar and cast it into the
• 147:00 - 147:30 earth and there followed hail now think about hail this okay hail and fire mingled with blood now this correlation with blood again is something we're going to come back to because this is this this association and correlation with blood we find occurring many times and there's a reason for that so there followed hail and fire mingled with blood and they
• 147:30 - 148:00 were cast upon the earth and the third part of the trees was burnt up and all green grass was burnt up now here's from Psalms 18 18th chapter then the earth shook and trembled the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken there went up a smoke out of his nostrils and fire out of his mouth
• 148:00 - 148:30 devoured coals were kindled by it he bowed the heavens also and came down and darkness was under his feet he made darkness his secret place and the brightness that was before him is thick clouds passed hailstones and coals of fire then from the second chapter of the book of
• 148:30 - 149:00 Acts and there suddenly and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind and it filled all the house where they were sitting and there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire and it sat upon each of them and when this noise was noised broad the multitude came together and were confounded sounds a little familiar
• 149:00 - 149:30 doesn't it then from the first kings 19th chapter and behold the Lord passed by and a great and strong wind the mountains and break in pieces the rocks before the Lord and after the wind an earthquake and after the earthquake of fire hm interestingly sequence a great
• 149:30 - 150:00 and strong wind an earthquake and a fire hm where have we seen this sequence again second chapter of Acts and it shall come to pass in the last days saith God I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh and I will shoe wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath blood and fire vapor of
• 150:00 - 150:30 smoke the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood sixth chapter of Revelation the book of Revelation and when I beheld and I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal and lo there was a great earthquake and the sun became
• 150:30 - 151:00 black as sackcloth of hair and the moon became as blood and the stars of heaven fell unto earth even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs when she is shaken of a mighty wind and the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together and every mountain and island were moved out of their places from the 76th chapter of
• 151:00 - 151:30 Psalms the waters saw thee oh God the waters saw thee they were afraid the depths also were troubled the clouds poured out water the skies sent out a sound thine arrows went abroad the voice of thy thunder was in the heaven the lightnings lightened the world the earth trembled and shook now
• 151:30 - 152:00 we know that there can be plasma phenomena associated with cosmic impacts manifesting as lightning bolts so I find all of this now very interesting and I hope that you the listener here finds this interesting in the light of what we've learned in these episodes so now I'm going to just quickly go through I'm going to set up side by side
• 152:00 - 152:30 so that you can see a comparison of some of the quotes from the eyewitnesses and survivors of the Tangusa event and some of the accounts which I am suggesting are actually eyewitness accounts that these that these accounts that appear in scripture and prophecy and so on are actually inspired by eyewitness accounts of
• 152:30 - 153:00 celestial phenomena we'll go back let's sideby-side comparison psalms 18 scriptural testimony then the earth shook and trembled the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken now from Tangusa the earth and the huts trembled greatly the ground shook an incredibly loud prolonged roaring was heard everything round about was shrouded smoke and fog so here interestingly even the same
• 153:00 - 153:30 words are used here's our scriptural testimony and the Lord also thundered in the heavens hailstones and colds of fire the voice of thy thunder was in the heaven the lightnings lightened the world the earth trembled and shook then from Tungusa suddenly far off was heard the sound of thunder there was something extraordinary about it the intensity of the sounds was so great that the boatman were completely
• 153:30 - 154:00 demoralized this was so loud as though there were several crashes all mingled together within it that the whole ground trembled the ground shook an incredibly loud prolonged roaring was heard deafening crashes like peels of thunder and the thunder was terrible so thunder was common both the
• 154:00 - 154:30 whatever spawned these scriptural accounts and the eyewitness of the Tungusa survivors scriptural testimony the Lord passed by and a great and strong wind the mountains and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind the Tangusa testimony then a noise like a strong wind was
• 154:30 - 155:00 heard our scriptural testimony thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder and with earthquake and a great noise with storm and tempest and the flame of devouring fire from the prophet Isaiah now let's look at Tangusa testimony for comparison they were awakened by a loud rumble explosions were heard everywhere the earth trembled and there was a loud cracking noise a terrible storm during which they could
• 155:00 - 155:30 hardly heap on their feet flattened the forest and then of that of course is followed by a flame of devouring fire our scriptural testimony and there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire now the word cloven which shows in the Bible in the King James version means literally to be split or divided okay so there appeared unto them
• 155:30 - 156:00 cloven tongues like as of fire now our Tonguska testimony a huge cloud of black smoke was formed and a loud crash all the building shook and at the same time a forked tongue of flame broke through the cloud next quote a ball of fire in the northwest coming down obliquely it approached the ground had changed into a pillar of fire after its disappearance a cloud of smoke was seen rising from the
• 156:00 - 156:30 ground next quote "Suddenly in the north the sky was split in two and high above the forest the whole northern part of the sky appeared to be covered in fire many inhabitants saw a fiery like a be body like a beam shoot from south to northwest before they heard the fi thunder and immediately after the bang was heard a tongue of fire appeared followed by smoke now notice described
• 156:30 - 157:00 as a tongue of fire what do we have up here cloven tongues like as of fire our scriptural testimony from Acts 26 chapter at midday oh king I saw in the in the way a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun shining round about me and them which journeyed with me and then the basic English Bible actually says on the road I saw a light from heaven brighter than the sun here's
• 157:00 - 157:30 the Tungusa testimony the peasants saw a sh a body shining very brightly too bright for the naked eye next quote we were terribly frightened at the time the fire was brighter than the sun a fiery body that was considerably larger than the sun and an elongated body narrowing towards one end and torn as it were from the sun its head was as bright as the sun
• 157:30 - 158:00 from back to our scriptural testimony the sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up that's from the re book of revelations from the Syriak apocalypse of Peter we have and fire shall eat into the earth from above the light of the sun and moon shall grow dark the scar stars be scattered and fall down and the heaven rolled up like
• 158:00 - 158:30 a sheet of paper from the Armanian apocalypse of Daniel the stars shall fall down like leaves and heaven shall be rolled up like a scroll now let's look at the Tungusa testimony however many people in different villages distinctly saw that when the flying object touched the horizon a huge flame shot up that cut the sky in two suddenly before me I saw the sky in the north open to the ground and fire
• 158:30 - 159:00 pour out we were terrified but the sky closed again at the moment when the sky opened a hot wind as from a cannon blew past the huts from the north and the final quote when suddenly in the north the sky was split in two now go back look at here the sky was split apart like a scroll scriptural testimony and the fifth angel and this
• 159:00 - 159:30 is again from the book of Revelation and the fifth angel sounded and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth i think they're telling us here literally people and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit and he opened the bottomless pit and there arose a smoke out of the pit as the smoke of a great furnace he could actually be talking there about a piece of a object a
• 159:30 - 160:00 meteorite actually striking the ground then we have the Tungusa testimony an extraordinary underground roar like the sound of a number of trains passing simultaneously over rails and then one had the impression that the earth was just about to gape open and everything would be swallowed up in the abyss now it's very interesting that people not only experienced the atmospheric and the celestial component of this but they also experienced the subterranean component of this which was
• 160:00 - 160:30 just as impressive to them from our scriptural testimony Acts 2 chapter now when this was noised abroad the multitude came together and were confounded then from the Tangusa testimony all the inhabitants of the village ran out into the street in panic the old women wept everyone thought that the end of the world was approaching and whole crowds
• 160:30 - 161:00 of local inhabitants were gathered in the streets in terror talking about the phenomena and finally they the phenomena inspired a kind of superstitious terror and people were literally dumbfounded people were literally dumbfounded and here the people came together and were confounded scriptural testimony then shall fall the stars from
• 161:00 - 161:30 heaven moon shall be hid and no light be in it the light of the sun shall be suppressed this is from the pseudo yohin apocalypse then we have from the Ethiopia Ethiopic apocalypse of Peter and the sun shall suffer eclipse and the moon become blood and the stars fall from heaven through the greatness of God's wrath and then the Syriak apocalypse of Peter fire shall eat into the earth from
• 161:30 - 162:00 above the light of the sun and moon shall grow dark the stars be scattered and fall now let's look at our scientific testimony by contrast this was from a paper evolution of an impact generated dust cloud and its effects on the atmosphere which was published in the Geological Society of America special papers we have simulated quote we have simulated the evolution of an optically
• 162:00 - 162:30 thick dust cloud in the Earth's atmosphere oops and have also calculated the effects such a dust cloud would have both on the amount of visible light reaching the surface of visible light reaching the surface okay then from the journal of the theoretical and applied climatology we have this this is the chronology of dry fogs in Italy the presence out of season of unusual persistent fogs which
• 162:30 - 163:00 were preceded or followed by a weak sun a red sun or a red moon get this the sun and moon surrounded by bloody halos so this is something now that has actually been documented to have actually been witnessed by peoples throughout history very similar phenomena and then we see the scriptural testimony and here it is i think it's
• 163:00 - 163:30 right it's I think it's just telling us unequivocally what's going on here then shall the sun be darkened and the moon changed to blood the stars shall fall down like leaves and this is what we know in the aftermath of an impact and the great fires and the dust in the atmosphere is that the sun is darkened and the moon can become very red now this ancient testimony here is referring to historical records in the
• 163:30 - 164:00 period 536 AD which I'm going to be talking about when we get into discussing the inner significance of the Grail mythology but here we see from Proocopius sun gave forth its light without brightness now he's describing what people are witnessing 536 AD the sun gave forth its light without brightness like the moon during the whole year and it seemed exceedingly like the sun in eclipse and again the sun was dark and
• 164:00 - 164:30 its darkness lasted for 18 months each day it shone for about 4 hours and still this light was only a feeble shadow now here's the thing in a series of impact events you're going to have the injection of a large amount of soot dust particulate matter into the atmosphere that could take months even to a year or two to finally clear out during this time yes the sun can become darkened
• 164:30 - 165:00 literally moon can become his blood then from the Armanian Apocalypse of Daniel scriptural testimony tells us that fiery angels shall come down from heaven and fire shall flare up throughout the whole world well here I think we may have another another symbol another metaphor fiery angels shall come down from heaven and fire shall flare up throughout the whole world now here's what scientific testimony says recent
• 165:00 - 165:30 studies have shown that a host of fairsized pieces could have more devastating global consequences than a single wintercausing object by igniting many separate conflrations that merge into a global firestorm i would submit to you that to consider that these are two different ways of describing exactly the same phenomena each using the symbology and the terminology of its own discipline
• 165:30 - 166:00 its own scientific understanding of the world and and these events finally we have the angel took the sensor and filled it with fire of the altar and cast it into the earth and the third part of the trees was burnt up and all the green grass that's from 8th chapter of Revelation and then we go down to the scientific testimony and we discover now
• 166:00 - 166:30 that there is evidence for extraordinary biomass burning here was a particular episode and an impact winter triggered by the younger dus cosmic impact 12,800 years ago and then the ice record is consistent with the younger dest boundary impact theory extensive impact related biomass burning triggered the abrupt onset of an impact winter and again the fiery angels coming down from
• 166:30 - 167:00 heaven and fire shall flare up throughout the whole world and then from Peter Tyson comet busters article appeared in technology review recent studies have shown that a host of fairsized pieces could have more devastating global consequences than a single winter-causing object by igniting many separate conflrations that merge into a global firestorm now is this not basically saying the same thing that the fiery angel coming
• 167:00 - 167:30 down from heaven air shall flare up throughout the whole world and here we have many separate pieces ignite emerging into a conflration many separate conflrations that merge into a global firestorm and then as we get to the end here an important implication of this picture is that smaller tungusike fragments of comets will be concentrated in clusters or swarms this is from very important
• 167:30 - 168:00 book the origin of comets by Victor Clube and Bill Napier came out in 1990 some contemporary fireball producing meteorites meteoroids approach the earth in streams this is very important this is I was talking about earlier idea that we might have clustered bombardment and that we're limiting constricting our thinking if we confine it only to the single impact event so some contemporary fireball producing meteorites approach
• 168:00 - 168:30 the earth in streams and then from the article in Hondrite stream identification and confirmation we read that clearly the existence of streams of earth approaching meteoroids also has implications for calculations the likelihood of lifethreatening impacts on our planet now we have from the ancient testimony in the words of Plato after the usual interval the stream from heaven like a pestilence
• 168:30 - 169:00 comes pouring down could that be the kind of stream he's talking about from the book of Psalms the waters saw thee oh God the wa the waters saw thee they were afraid the depths also were troubled the clouds poured out water the sky sent out sound thine arrows also went abroad the voice of thy thunder was in the heaven the
• 169:00 - 169:30 lightnings lightened the world the earth trembled and shook now look at here the waters were afraid the depths also were troubled what does this suggest to you the depths of what waters the clouds poured out water the sky sent out a sound arrows again another symbol for the impacts okay now let's consider the waters saw the the depths were troubled i would submit the possibility that
• 169:30 - 170:00 we're references to an oceanic bolide impact the clouds poured out water well that's obviously going to happen because you're going to have a massive injection of water vapor into the atmosphere and that's going to cause your rain out and I think we're going to pause here and we're going to pick it up in the next episode with the the story of the fall of fat which Plato in his dialogue
• 170:00 - 170:30 to references and obviously gives it a great deal of importance and significance because he references it as a preface to his discussion of the story of Atlantis so we are going to end this episode here in our series on the apocalypse unsealed we will soon be back with another episode and we will pick up the story line with the fall of fat and we will look at the importance of that
• 170:30 - 171:00 particular myth to the ancient Greeks and why Plato chose to preface his story of Atlantis with a reference to the myth of Fatan thank you hope you enjoyed this i'll see you next episode [Music] hey [Applause]
