| COMET ENCKE - THE EVENT HORIZON |
| Intersection points (nodes) of Comet Encke's orbit with the plane containing the Earth's orbit, at various dates before the present (BP). During the first millenium BC up to the time of Christ, the orbit of the comet or that of its associated dust trail would have intersected that of the Earth, leading at this time to annual fireball storms of amazing intensity.

| Natural Catastrophes during Bronze Age Civilisations: Archaeological, Geological and Astronomical Perspectives at a conference at Fitzwilliam College. Cambridge. 11th-13th July 1997 Organised by The Society for Interdisciplinary Studies Following is their determination Culture " In light of new astronomical and archaeological theories and the emergence of scientific neo-catastrophism, it seems necessary to re- assess the origins and cultural implications of apocalyptic religions and catastrophe traditions in ancient mythologies and rituals. In particular, the significant cultural and religious changes at the beginning of the Bronze Age and those which occurred after its final collapse will be re-evaluated." Archaeology and Geology Ever since Claude Schaeffer published his book "Stratigraphie Comparee et Chronologie L'Asie Occidentale" in 1948, there has been continuous scientific debate about the nature and extent of the destructions of Bronze Age civilisations. Schaeffer claimed that the repeated collapses of Bronze Age cultures were not caused by the action of man but instead by seismic activity. During the last decade, eminent archaeologists have substantiated his claim and have linked destruction layers in Aegean and Near Eastern sites with natural disasters rather than with military conquests. The interpretation, however, which maintains that destruction layers are caused by seismic catastrophes, has been disputed due to the ambiguity of the stratigraphical record. The need for an accurate methodology of verifying the actual cause, extent and synchronicity of Bronze Age destructions is therefore essential. Astronomy Research in the field of astronomical neo-catastrophism and impact cratering has quickened its pace since the early 1980s. An increasing number of astronomers have suggested that a series of cosmic disasters punctuated the Earth in prehistoric times. Scholars such as Victor Clube, Bill Napier, Mark Bailey, Fred Hoyle, David Asher and Duncan Steel claim that a more 'active' and threatening sky might have caused major cultural changes of Bronze Age civilisations, belief systems and religious rituals. Can the astronomical evidence brought forward by these astronomers be substantiated by historical, archaeological and climatological evidence? The SIS Cambridge conference brought together historians, archaeologists, climatologists and astronomers in order to discuss whether the 'giant comet' hyopothesis brought forward by neo-catastrophist astronomers such as Victor Clube, Bill Napier, Sir Fred Hoyle, David Asher, Mark Bailey, Duncan Steel et al. can be substantiated by the archaeological, climatological and historical record. The work of Cambridge College is extraordinary and important for us in understanding cyclic events I will try to keep this site updated as informatin comes to me on their work. THE CATASTROPHIC EMERGENCE OF CIVILISATION: THE COMING OF THE BRONZE AGE CULTURES Gunnar Heinsohn University of Bremen, P. O. Box 330 440, 28334 Bremen, Germany e-mail: gheins@uni-bremen.de Throwing of barley grains or small stoned showering of ashes, public defecation and obscene exhibition, panic yelling as well as manic romp and frenzy, mortal duels of humans and animals in strange costumes making them look like snakes or mixed creatures, entire burning of slaughtered beings - these and similar activities took place in extremely carefully choreographed blood rituals which emerged at the beginning of the Bronze Age. The holy precincts in which these sacrificial ceremonies were staged provide the archaeological markers by which the Bronze Age can be told apart from the Stone Age. The theory of religion is at a loss when it comes to understand this tremendous turn in the history of religion which, after all, brought about the first stage of civilisation. This perplexity did not always dominate the scholarly world. Nicolas-Antoine Boulanger (1722-1759), a French civil engineer and sociologist' had deciphered the great ceremonies of man as ritualised memories of deluges and revolutions of the earth's crust. It was the dogma of evolutionism which slowly obscured past global catastrophes from the view of learned men. Yet, the religious texts were still there. Eventually, they were regarded as mere emanations of exalted souls. The cataclysms described in them supposedly had nothing to do with earth and cosmos but everything with the unconscious. This paper tries to prove the basic correctness of earliest cuneiform sources which explicitly state that the first "cult places" with their priestly personnel were established to give "counselling" to people who were left "beclouded" after a "flood had swept over the earth." Counselling, indeed, meant that the therapeutic capacities of a child's play were used to heal entire communities. The confused survivors were assigned roles in which not only the disturbing behaviour of man under the impact of cataclysms but also the catastrophic cosmic agents themselves were re enacted. The scene of 'cosmic' clashes ended in the spilling of blood and the killing of at least one contender. In this gruesome act the tense aggression - bottled up in the helpless survivors - was released in one dramatic and cathartic shot Reconciliatory acts in front of the corpses of the victims required their elevation. Bowing and asking forgiveness before the natural agents who had acquired the human or animal shape of their skilled impersonators constituted the worship of--freshly slaughtered--idols. After the gradual abandonment of blood sacrifice in the Iron Age, which was no longer struck by cosmic cataclysm, they were replaced by their portraits in wood, bone or stone giving shape to the typical statuary gods of high religion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credits: GUNNAR HEINSOHN (* 1943 in Gynia/Poland) studied sociology, history, psychology, economics and religious studies at the Freie Universität Berlin.

I am a paleoecologist specialized in peat studies and I am very interested in climate change and the possible effects for prehistoric Man. Last week the following publication appeared: Van Geel, B., Buurman, J. and Waterbolk, H.T., 1996. Archeological and paleoecological indications for an abrupt climate change in The Netherlands and evidence for climatological teleconnections around 2650 BP (Before Present) . Journal of Quaternary Science 11: 451- 460. When I presented the data and ideas as included in that article during a meeting in The Netherlands, I got strong opposition by a prominent archaeologist. My ideas (and evidence) that climate change around 2650 BP was important for prehistoric farmers living in marginal areas were called 'ecological determinism' and 'old-fashioned'. Apparently the common opinion (?) among modern archaeologists seemed to be more important than my evidence. Here follows the abstract of the article. Best wishes, Bas van Geel Abstract of the above-mentioned paper in JQS: A sudden and sharp rise in the 14C-content of the atmosphere, which occurred between ca 850 and 760 calendar yr BC (ca 2750-2450 BP on the radiocarbon time scale), was contemporaneous with an abrupt climate change. In northwest Europe (as indicated by palaeoecological and geological evidence) climate changed from relatively warm and continental to oceanic. As a consequence, the groundwater table rose considerably in certain low-lying areas in The Netherlands. Archaeological and palaeoecological evidence for the abandonment of such areas in the northern Netherlands is interpreted as the effect of a rise of the water table and the extension of fens and bogs. Contraction of population and finally migration from these low-lying areas which had become marginal for occupation, and the earliest colonization by farming communities of the newly emerged salt marshes in the northern Netherlands around 2550 BP, is interpreted as the consequence of loss of cultivated land. Thermic contraction of ocean water and/or decreased velocity and pressure on the coast by the Gulf Stream may have caused a fall in relative sea-level rise and the emergence of these salt marshes. Evidence for a synchronous climatic change elsewhere in Europe and on other continents around 2650 BP is presented. Temporary aridity in tropical regions and a reduced transport of warmth to the temperate climate regions by atmospheric and/or oceanic circulation systems could explain the observed changes. As yet there is no clear explanation for this climate change and the contemporaneous increase of 14C in the atmosphere. The strategy of 14C wiggle-match dating can play an important role in the precise dating of organic deposits, and can be used to establish possible relationships between changing 14C-production in the atmosphere, climate change, and the impact of such changes on hydrology, vegetation, and human communities. Keywords: Climate change, archaeology, palaeoecology, teleconnections, 2650 BP. -------------------------------------------- Survivors of Atlantis Frank Joseph 1997 Conference in Cambridge England Short article in News Week 4 Event Horizons kept repeating themselves - 4 x's man was pushed to the nb where some major event takes place during a certain time that has an event on human life.

There may have been a thousand years or so of greenhouse effect before the Earth's climate stabilized at the beginning of recorded human history about 5,000 years ago. 3,000 years ago, when the Iron Age began, the Zhou defeated the Shang in China, the short-lived monotheistic reign of Akhenaton ended in Egypt, and Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, the Chinese recorded that a comet (perhaps this comet) appeared. The Tunguska Impact of 30 June 1908 may have been due to an Encke fragment associated with the Beta Taurid meteors. Comet Encke (officially designated 2P/Encke) is a periodic comet, named after Johann Franz Encke, who through laborious study of its orbit and many calculations was able to link multiple observations in 1786 (2P/1786 B1), 1795 (2P/1795 V1), 1805 (2P/1805 U1) and 1818 (2P/1818 W1) to the same object. In 1819 he published his conclusions in the journal Correspondance astronomique, and predicted correctly its return in 1822 (2P/1822 L1). As its official designation implies, Encke's Comet was the second periodic comet discovered after Halley's Comet (aka 1P/Halley). It is unusual in that it was named after the person who calculated its orbit rather than the person who discovered it (Jean-Louis Pons). Comet Encke is believed to be the originator of the Taurid meteor shower (Whipple, 1940; Kla�ka, 1999). Some consider the Bronze Age breakup of the originally larger comet to be responsible for ancient destruction in the Fertile Crescent, perhaps evidenced by a large meteor crater in Iraq. The origin of the swastika has also been connected with Comet Encke. |
