Hi All

[Minimalist]

I've got an impact nut over at Archaeologica.  According to him virtually every event in human history results from a rock hitting the earth.

The only problem is that in an age before satellite communications  if you are close enough to where an impactor lands you are going to be killed which will seriously limit your ability to say "hey...we just got hit by a space rock."

If you are far enough away you will look up and say "hey, did you hear something?"

Hang on!

Archaeologica has forums??

I only check out the latest news!

I have to check out the rest.

Oh yeah, welcome, OP...

If Michelle asks who you are, tell her I said you're okay.

Lemonvariable72 - So how do you get from to meteor to god? Well, the huge Comet shows up in the inner solar system 13kyrs. + ago and appears angelic in space and then part of it breaks off and is cast down into the atmosphere which gives the frightening effect of the Devil being cast into the pit. I didn't take notes to the specifics (IIRC, it is in Enoch.), but it says in the ancient texts that God and the Devil were playmates as children and when God found out he was evil he was cast down to Earth to cause destruction which is the Deluge and doing God's will to punish Man. In the antedated Cuneiform version it is the female Tiamat who brings chaos to the order of the universe (inner solar system) and is back staged planed by the Gods because Man doesn't praise them and build temples enough. It all adds up, there is much much more to it.

drfuzzy - oops, sorry your right, psychologists. I'll admit I have a bit of a language problem at times.

Welcome!

If you give enough evidence that you are/may be correct I might take up pica. We'll have to wait and see.

Hey there! Nice to meet you

Well done for seeing through the absurdity of religion.

[ignoramus]

Rob, it sounds like swapping one fantasy for another.
He is intelligent though.

Ah, oh. Is this sky stuff serious?

I detect more than a hint of Velikovsky, mated with von Däniken. So no.

Yes, I am serious.  It will take some time, I recall everyone opposing the KT Boundary back around 1980 and now it is basically a given.  Matter of fact there is a recent paper that correlates impact events to most of the extinction events.  Velikovsky made a mistake thinking Venus was the cause because he didn't dig deep enough to realize that mythology evolves, as does religion but that is another story.  Venus is basically at the end of the line and he equated it with the planet, but it goes way back to Tiamat and possibly the Mother Goddess as the causation, then it became Inanna, then Ishtar and probably at the same time Isis, then Aphrodite and Venus.  There is no way the planet Venus was captured 13kyrs. ago, it was a huge comet that produced the Taurid Stream / the Zodiacal Light and about the only thing left is comet 2p/Encke.  Look up the Carolina Bays and Saginaw Bay.  The denial is deep, some say fish fins, beaver tails, wind, gas bubbles, but anyone with an open mind and a little bit of scientific common sense can see that they are secondary impacts that litter the USA.  And it fits perfectly with the Pleistocene megafauna extinction aka the the Younger Dryas Impact 'Hypothesis'.

Revelation 8:8  "...the 2nd angle sounded the trumpet (Like the blast of the Chelyabinsk Super Bolide.) : and as it were a Great Mountain, burning with Fire, was cast into the sea..."

There are piles of stories like this from around the world, just like the flood stories.  There is no way all of these cultures could make up the same stories in the past and now in the future are understood as actual natural phenomena, such as mountains falling from the sky, tsunamis, and atmospheric dust veils to block out the Sun.  I'll have to gather some up and show ya.

Maybe you could post this "recent paper" and a citation for the "everyone opposing the KT boundary" in a dedicated thread? It's beyond the scope of an introduction, thus not appropriate for this part of the forum. I look forward to seeing your evidence.

For now, I will just say that the Zodiacal Light is less related to cometary debris and more caused by dust particles left over from the formation of the Solar System; and not at all the same as the Taurids. It's better that we get our astronomical terminology straight before we leap down any rabbitholes. Or should I say wormholes?
