1250 to 1050 BC - Purifying Fires and an Exodus of Enormous Proportions 1101 - 970 BC Pelasgian influence in Spain King David and King Solomon's reign in Israel. Heaven-sent Fire in 1250-1050 BC The Vital Vastness -- Volume Two: The Living Cosmos empirically establish that there is a field system throughout the cosmos. Furthermore, the planets magnetosphere's can balloon during solar maximums. For example, Jupiter's magnetosphere enlarged about 25 times between the Voyager mission, and the Galileo mission. According to ancient authors, the planets have exchanged huge lightning-like discharges between each other and the Earth. This can explain the vast fires noted in the writings of the time, as well as the archeological evidence of burnt settlements. Here are some of the mythology and ancient writings that describe these and other events. Again, this only one period, and there are nine others that have similar scenes. Egypt and the Near East 'Anat was the name given Venus by the people of Ugarit (Ras Shamra) in Syria. Ugarit's fall was completed by the beginning of the 12th Century BC. They offer the following comment about Venus, which they call 'Anat, "The star 'Anat has fallen from heaven; he slew the people of the Syrian land, and confused the two twilights and the seats of the constellations." "You reverse the position of the dawn in the sky." These statements suggest that Venus not only sent an electrostatic discharge toward Earth, but also that the Earth experienced a polar reversal or wander, which is considered an unlikely event so recently in the past (i.e., according to conventional theory). 'Anat was introduced into Egyptian thought by Ramses II (1304 to 1237 BC). Like the Semitic belief which combined 'Anat with Yaw, the Mother-goddess, and Astarte, the Earth-goddess, 'Anat ruled over the Earth and the life upon it, and was associated with the Sun (FEM's solar linkage). 'Anat was a goddess of war, "clad in terror" that made the "gods" -- the physical forces and the planets -- tremble. Bas-reliefs in Egypt show her with the emblem of life, and with the gods Min and Reshep on either side. Min represents Horus with two feathers on its head portraying Isis and Nephthys. This association suggests that the Sun and Moon, probably in eclipse or a nodal point (Horus), and the Great Mother of all life who restores vegetation and the physical world (Isis who revives Osiris) are involved in an event that brought death and decay (Nephthys is a goddess of death). Reshep's association tells us that the fiery bolt, lightning and thunderbolt are partially responsible, because these are Reshep's attributes. All in all, characteristics like this indicate Venus ('Anat) struck the Earth with thunderbolts (Reshep), during a solar or lunar eclipse (Horus), at a time of death and decay (Nephthys), followed by the renewal of the Earth and the life on Earth (Isis and Osiris). This is also related in the tale of Isis, Osiris, Horus and Set, which emerges once again (see Plate 51). Set (also Seth or Sutekh) was regarded as a god of evil, darkness, drought, desert, and against all life and good. He was a diety of thunder, tempest, rain, lightning, hurricanes, storms, earthquakes, and eclipses, and one who reversed the order of the Earth and Heavens (i.e., polar reversal or wander). Set was attributed with all the various Field phenomena. Like Osiris and Isis, he is the son of the Earth, Geb, and the Heavens, Nut. Set kills his brother Osiris, the god of vegetation, life and the physical world. Isis, the Great Mother of all life, restores Osiris back to life (the renewal of wilderness). Horus, the Sun and Moon, battles with Set to avenge his father's, Osiris', death. The battle takes three days and three nights, as is typical of Field phenomena (the 3-4 day period), resulting in the death of Horus, which represents an eclipse. Isis cries to the sun-god, Ra or Re, who makes the Sun stand still in the Heavens, and comes to the aid of Isis in the form of Thoth in order to revive Horus. Thoth holds sway over the Moon and measures time. Together these attributes and the tale indicate a change in the length of day (LOD) and the Earth's rotation. The other names of Isis also suggest this, and include, "lady of the new year" and "the maker of the sunrise." Later, Isis was celebrated by the Greeks in festivals twice a year around the equinoxes. As described earlier, the Sun and Moon affect the Field-system as if they were a single unit. Horus, the Sun and Moon, and Set, Field phenomena, are said to be one force throughout time, which is called "the secret of the two partners." Isis -- life and the Earth -- is to have brought about the Great Holy Serpent, which is associated with fire and water as is the Field (ionization and lightning, and situated in the oceans). They represent the solar-FEM and FEM-lunar linkages. The serpent is identical to Set who, in the Harris Magic Papyrus, is said to "shaketh the sky and Earth by his thunder-storms, [and fights] the wide-mouthed dragon." Set was said to have battled against the Sun, when taking the form of the serpent 'Apop or 'Apophis, in order to prevent the Sun from rising in the East (i.e., a polar reversal). The monstrous serpent of the underworld is associated with Set and 'Apop, and is synonymous with Osiris (life). FEM, including its association with the biosphere (life), and its release of ionizing radiation are being described in the form of gods. Other attributes of Osiris and Horus lend more insight to the story and its later forms, as it is repeated throughout history. The ocean, where the Fields are located, is either beneficent and representing Osiris, or opposed to him and the whole order of the world. Horus is also sometimes represented as a serpent head. "Horus the Opener of the Secret" or "The Resplendent" is Jupiter, "The Red Horus" represents Mars, and "Horus the Bull" is Saturn, the master of the lower world and ruler of hell. These different descriptions of Horus may indicate a lightning-like exchange between FEM and these other planets. In Egypt this was the time of the Israelite Exodus from bondage, and the enigmatic Sea Peoples. The Sea Peoples fled into Egypt with their women, children and moveable property. Egyptian texts, such as the Papyrus Ipuwer, Medinet Habu Tablets and others, as well as the Holy Bible and other related documents express the vivid displays in the Heavens, and events that overwhelmed the inhabitants of the Earth. The texts of Sethos II (approximately 1215-1210 BC) have this understanding to offer. Sekhmet is purported to be Venus. "Sekhmet was a circling star, which spread out his fire in flames, a fire-flame in his storm." Sekhmet was also known of in Libya, Syria, Palestine, India, and elsewhere around the Persian Gulf Field. The Medinet Habu Tablets, which describe events involving the Sea Peoples, explain the reason for their attempted migration into Egypt. It was a heavenly sent fire from Venus, who is represented by Sekhmet. "Their forests and fields are burnt with fire. The heat of him has burnt their countries. The fire of Sekhmet has burnt the lands of the nine bows. They had before them a sea of flame." (Tablets 17 and 46). Likewise, Ramses III (1198-1166 BC) writes in a tablet, "Libya became a desert; a terrible torch hurled flame from heaven to destroy their souls and lay waste their land, their bones burn and roast within their limbs [and] the Nile was dried up and the land fell victim to drought." (Tablet 105) As addressed in the previous chapter, many cities' and towns' burnt remains reveal the evidence of a widespread fire. Sites dated to this time in Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine, Crete, Greece, Hungary, central Germany, Egypt, India, and the forests of Europe and Asia attest to the all-encompassing nature of the fire. According to the Egyptians, and other cultures around the Persian Gulf Field, the fire came from an lightning-like exchange between the Earth and Venus. It is not just the widespread character of these fires that baffle experts, but also the intensity and remote locations of its effects. Assur in Assyria was laid waste by fire at the end of the 13th Century by an intense heat that even vitrified the building. That is, the heat melted and fused the building's bricks into glass, and other compounds that are only possible with very intense heat. Consider this observation, "Nobody can explain the origin of this intense heat which melted together hundreds of fragments of brick, and reddened and vitrified the entire core of the building." A mountain-pine forest, the Black Forest, was also devastated by some unknown fiery agent at this time. "Since it is unknown, so far as I am aware, for mountain-pine forests to catch fire by lightning, these burnings must have been deliberately caused. However, as far as we know the upper slopes of the northern Black Forest were not inhabited at that time, and so it is hard to understand the purpose of such a burning. The problem of how the burnt stratum occurred is therefore still unsolved." About 1000 BC, after a change in climate, this mountain-pine forest was replaced by a forest with different tree species, so the event definitely took place in this period. Another indication of what had transpired is apparent in this quote from an Egyptian source, "The thirteenth day of the month Thout [is] a very bad day. Thou shalt not do anything on this day. It is the day of the combat which Horus waged with Seth." Horus can be Jupiter, Saturn or Mars, depending on the ancient source and time, who like Zeus (Jupiter) of the Iliad sent lightning-like discharges or "thunderbolts" toward the Earth. Horus also represents the relationships between the Sun and Moon that occur during eclipses and bring about the release of ionizing radiation, which produces the thunderbolts. The month of Thoth is March, so the event being described occurred around the vernal equinox and the gods personify the solar-lunar-FEM linkages. Seth is "all that is destruction and perversity; a kind of devil, enemy of all gods." The roaring Seth was an atmospheric or storm god, a blighting, destructive, and avenging influence on humankind. To the Egyptians, Seth was associated with 'Apop, the serpent of the underworld. "A Greek papyrus addresses Seth as 'hill-shaker, thunderer, hurricane-raiser, rock-shaker; the destroyer, who disturbs the sea itself.'" This conforms well with our understanding of Field areas on Earth, which are mainly situated in the sea, produce hurricanes, and emit charged particles that create lightning, disturb the sea and trigger earthquakes. Plutarch explains, "The Egyptains regularly call Typhon 'Seth.'" Typhon, representing Field phenomena, was the monstrous son of Gaia, the Greco-Roman Earth-mother. He was a demon of the whirlwind, upon his shoulders he carried a hundred serpent-heads that spit out fire, his voice was like all formidable beasts in one, and his eyes were fire. Typhon is associated with the pillar and serpent symbols, and also Saturn. Zeus, who is Jupiter, felled him with the thunderbolt. Plutarch tells us that he helps to bring about a fierce fire that scorches and burns up the world, making a "greater part of the Earth uninhabitable by reason of his blaze." He is attributed with hurricanes, hot winds and smoke. Typhon not only appears in Homer's Iliad, but also Ovid's Metamorphoses (Book 5), Hesoid's Theogony, and numerous other writings throughout history. "Zeus pelted Typhon at a distance with thunderbolts," Apollodorus tells us (Epitome II). Strabo relates that Typhon "when struck by the bolts of lightning fled in search of a descent underground" (Geography, VII: 3 & 8). Typhon was a storm-god and attributed with the phenomena of the Field areas. Serpents, of which Typhon was associated, are characteristic of Field phenomena, as will become clear. The myth of the "Destruction of Men by the Gods" was revived on the walls of the tombs of Seti I, Ramses II and Ramses III. As you might recall from the discussion in Tome Six it was Sekhmet, which is Venus, that nearly destroyed mankind. The Papyrus Ipuwer describes the destructive force and characteristics of the phenomena, which includes a polar reversal. "Gates, columns, and walls are consumed by fire. The sky is in confusion. [The] land is not light. [And the] Earth turned upside down." (2:8, 10; 7:1, 9:11, 11:11 & 12:6). "Squalor is throughout the land. There is none whose clothes are white in these times, all are laid low by terror." In the Papyrus Hermitage (1116 BC) there are descriptions of the same event, which include the type of darkness that could be the result of neutrons. "How fareth this land? The Sun is veiled and will not shine that men may see. None will live when the storm veilth it; all men are dulled through the want of it. The Sun separateth himself from men; he ariseth when it is the hour. None will know that it is midday, and his shadow will not be distinguished. No face will be bright that beholdeth thee, and the eyes will not be moistened with water [through looking at the Sun]. He is in the sky like the Moon." Another account reaffirms this, "In the days of Typhon the Nile was empty of water and the Sun darkened." Hydrogen fusion produces by-products of ionizing radiation, one constituent of which is neutrons. Neutrons are known to block or attract light like tiny magnets, and as a result, appear like a dark mass. This is why other descriptions indicate that artificial light could not dispel the darkness. Aside from this, ionizing radiation precipitates carbon and hydrocarbons out of the atmosphere. Both are dark or black in color. This is not the only description, as will be shown, that refers to such an enveloping darkness, and at times, the rain of some black substance. Written on the shrine of Al-Arish is the following: "The land was in great distress. Misfortune fell upon the whole Earth. There was a terrible uproar in the capital. For nine days no one could leave the palace. During these nine days of storm there was such a tempest that neither men nor gods [i.e., the members of the royal family] could distinguish the faces around them." In the Harris Magic Papyrus, the serpent, usually referred to as 'Apop (also 'Apep or 'Apepi), is described with the same attributes as Seth. This serpent is said to "shaketh sky and Earth by his thunder-storms" and fights the "wide-mouthed dragon." A cosmic upheaval of fire is referred to in the Harris Magic Papyrus when there was what might be considered a polar reversal. It states that "the south becomes north, and the Earth turns over." It reinforces the statements of the Papyrus Ipuwer that the "Earth turned upside down." Also, the Pyramid Texts say that the Sun "ceased to live in the Occident, and shines, a new one, in the Orient." Again, the statements suggest the unexpected, a polar reversal in human history. Elsewhere in the Near East In Turkey, Troy was being mentioned in the Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Describing the reason for the charred remains of Troy is the following from the "Fifth Book" of the Iliad in which Jupiter is Zeus: "Then terribly thundered the father of gods and men from on high; and from beneath did Poseidon cause the vast earth to quake, and the steep crests of the mountains. The lightning of great Zeus and his dread thunder, whenso it crasheth from heaven. [A] wondrous blazing fire. First on the plain was the fire kindled, and burned the dead, and all the plain was parched. Together then they clashed with a mighty din, and the wide Earth rang, and round about great heaven pealed as with a trumpet." Throughout the poetry of the Iliad are descriptions of Venus, called Athene, and Mars, bearing the name Ares, battling. Athene (or Athena), a goddess of battle, is associated with Venus, the thunderbolt and the Sun (i.e., solar activity). The serpent (which represents the Field) was sacred to her. Air ionization would increase aggressive acts as the result of positive-ion winds (see Chapter 14 of The Vital Vastness -- Volume One). Ares, whose name might be translated "a curse," wages war, and also wields the thunderbolt. Both control storms and rain. Mars is described as a destroyer of cities, but is defeated by Venus in battle. Mars is also depicted as ascending the sky in a darkened cloud. In the Odyssey, Homer describes the Sun as having a violent temper, and liable when angry to flare, disclosing intensified solar activity. This was also the time of the Exodus when the Israelites fled from Egyptian bondage. The Holy Bible and related texts explain many of the events which conform well with what we have already witnessed from Egyptian sources and archaeological investigation. "And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along the ground; and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt." (Exodus 9:23). "And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night." (Exodus 13:21). Likewise, in the legends of the Hebrews, an account says, "The Lord fought against the Egyptians with the pillar of cloud and fire. The mire was heated to the boiling point by the pillar of fire." Here the serpent that is described in other cultures is instead referred to as a pillar of fire. Philo, an author of the First Century AD, who had access to ancient libraries long since destroyed and describes Biblical antiquities, has this to say: "The mountain [Sinai] burned with fire and the Earth shook and the hills were removed, and the mountains overthrown; the depths boiled, and all the inhabitable places were shaken, and flames of fire shone forth and thunderings and lightnings were multiplied, and winds and tempests made a roaring: the stars [planets] were gathered together." The phrase "gathered together" may be referring to a planetary alignment or consider the following. Pseudo-Philo, believed to be rewritten materials of Philo, says that the Lord, "impeded the course of the stars. The Earth was stirred from her foundation, and the mountains and the rocks trembled in their fastenings, and the clouds lifted up their waves against the flame of the fire that it should not consume the world, and all the waves of the sea came together." In the traditions of the Israelites it is related that before the coming of the "Northerners" (ha Saponi), whose leading tribe was the Philistines, fire fell from Heaven and burnt the entire country. A great deal of evidence can be found in the archaeological, geological and contemporary literature of vast fires. The previous chapter disclosed much of this evidence. The Holy Bible, the Talmud, the Midrashim, and the Midrash Rabba refer to this time as one when the Heavens were disordered. In the "Book of Joshua," partially compiled from the "Book of Jasher," we find: "The Sun stood still, and the Moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the Book of Jasher? So the Sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day." (10:12). Again, the description appears to be an observation of a change in the length of day. The Babylonian Talmud, and the Midrashim and other ancient rabbinical sources repeatedly speak of the Sun not following its prescribed course on a number of occasions during the time between the day of the Exodus, and the day of the Lawgiving. The Midrash Rabba also tells us that there was a "greater length of time taken by some planets." Meanwhile, before the Exodus, "God hastened the course of the planets during Israel's stay in Egypt," reveals a Midrashic source. The Holy Bible has this to say, "The Lord said unto Moses, stretch out thine hand toward Heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. And Moses stretched forth his hand toward Heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days."(Exodus 10:21-23). "On the fourth, fifth, and sixth days, the darkness was so dense that they could not stir from their place. The darkness was of such a nature that it could not be dispelled by artificial means. The light of the fire was made invisible and swallowed up in the density of the darkness. Nothing could be discerned. None was able to speak or to hear, nor could anyone venture to take food, but they lay themselves down, their outward senses in a trance. Thus they remained, overwhelmed by the affliction. Their eyes were blinded by it and their breath choked [and it was] not of an ordinary earthly kind. The darkness came from hell and could be felt." Solar Activity, Climate and Comets There are indications that weather and solar activity had undergone major transitions during this period. Climatology reveals a time which brought forth increased precipitation and a glacial advance known as the Neoglacial period. At first there were worldwide heat waves and it was very dry. Afterward, there was increased moisture and cold. The gods of the time indicate storms, rain, evil winds, fire and more. In Egypt, the pharaohs were merely the weak puppets of the priests of Amon-Ra, the Sun-god. Surely, there was some way in which the Sun held sway over the events of the time. Solar activity displays a minimum that yields to a series of short-lived maximums as this cycle opens. Comets were fairly plentiful in the records of this period. In 1200 BC, Assyrian records take note of a comet in Gemini, while Greece notes one in Ares. Troy's observations indicate a comet in 1194 BC in Taurus. Babylonian records say that one was seen in the north in 1140 BC and Chinese chronicles claim one in the 11th Century BC. A Chinese oracle bone was inscribed with what appears to be a sighting of a supernova in 1112 BC. Comets were returning the lost mass of the solar wind, as long-range forces, through the system of fields, triggered a supernova. There are another nine similar cycles in history between 1600 BC and AD 1600. One of the most important observations of these cycles is that they take place when civilizations are at their height and solar activity reaches a maximum. The most important lesson that we have ignored is that during these times nomads, those closer to Nature, are favored by the events that transpire. Moreover, these hunter-gathers, with no permanent dwellings, no social hiearchy, and frequently herding animals, often help to bring prominent civilizations to their end, though there is evidence that other events had weakened these civilizations. When these nomads become settled they too come to an end. Examples, of such people are the Huns, Vandals, Aztecs, Incas, the Arab bedouins of the Muslim conquests, the Mongols, and a myriad of others. The following section is but one example, the Huns, who are part of the AD 250 to 450 period. BACK TO ROCK LAKE HOME PAGE |
