Fascinating – thank you! Provides a glimpse into the very different world view of our medieval ancestors. Beautiful artworks too.
Reminds me of the medieval wall paintings that used to adorn parish churches in the uk, with their symbolic moral messages. Very few examples of these left.
I have seen almost identical symbol in Canyon de Shelly, in the Northern Arizona. That is pretty close Indian reservation, which difficult to visit without scheduling it before hands. It goes back over 1000 years,
to times of Anasazi Indians, who disappeared about 1000 years ago. The only Hopi Indians know what has happened then, but do not share much. I saw this Swastika up on the wall of this canyon, and I asked our guide about it, but he could not explain the origins of it. Mysteries, mysteries... they are all around us.
I think the clue is Kingship came from the heavens.... In my book I look at astronomical connections to ancient archaeological sites and I found links to specific astronomical events.
Interesting new discovery.....I however slightly disagree with describing the Pyramids as only a solar temple. The Causeways are aligned to lunar values, so it is more accurate to describe the Pyramids as mixed pyramid that has both solar and lunar aspects.
Good comments all, but there is something being overlooked, and that is the ancients' universal claim, and reason for all of this mythological recording: As above, so below.
Otherwise, why bother? An eclipse, on it's own, is simply not a big enough deal to bother with so much hand-wringing. But, if very real, and still remembered, global cataclysms had coincided with such 'wonders in the heavens', then it seems much more plausible that entire nations would want to ensure their children were adequately warned and prepared. Just in case.
Moreover, as Graham Hancock has, I think, very convincingly shown, while there may not have been a flood quite in the way it seems to have been portrayed by the ancients, there was, nonetheless, a global flood, and that the continental shelves are proof of this.
Likewise the Tower of Babel. The mythologists now reveal that there was 'a' Tower of Babel. (Even the Egyptians recorded it in their own way.) And it did fall, quite calamitously. But we also find that many ancient sites were built around towers. And they all fell for one reason or another, sometimes under quite mysterious, almost 'heaven-sent' circumstances, such as at the site now called Mohenjo-daro, or the city of the dead. Could it be the real genesis of the Sodom and Gomorrah legend?
In any case, things seen in the heavens above were universally determined by the ancients to have very real, very clear, and often very frightening parallels on the ground, no corrupt, manipulating priesthood required.
I don't know if Chesapeake Bay was caused by these slushball projectiles, but they certainly do litter the region. This is an image of the Chesapeake peninsular, and it is covered in Bays.
I assume the number systems might be different, and developed in the course of time and there's nothing mythical. See Robson: Mathematics in Ancient Iraq.
I think water exist because some elements melted and become possible for us to drink because we got use to it? or maybe it just happened that it is compatible for us? I think it's pretty much possible.
In deed we've crawled out of the cave a few time. The discouraging aspect of this is the ancients apparently had much higher bandwidth conscious tools to work with (we have none of that going on) and they failed. Basically we are hooped.
Yes,it is time to wake up and smell the coffee,time does erase a lot and lets face it,we forget easily.Due to the efforts of people like Cremo and Thompson,things are starting to take on a different hue,the scary part is,if we find out there have been many advanced civilizations,before the current one-we stand to fall just as hard.Is it axiomatic?Can our species not stand together long enough to make the leap?No wonder the writer of of the science fiction thriller"Prometheus" cast the Proto Humans as wanting to wipe us out(if we ever break out of this cage-watch out universe)-Kevin

Learn how to spell before you contradict thousands of years of history and biblical writings.

Although Scorpio... , well ill tell you later when im more focused.
@ VB
Dr Carson, I presume?
You need to read "Voices from Legendary Times by Ellen Lloyd to get a broader understanding of what You are talking about.....
Did this have any bearing on the Chesapeake Bay?I heard some catastrophe created it,Thanks,you have done good research-Kevin

Thx That explains a lot as I don't remember anything from 4th grade :).
