Abstract
Historian Graham Hancock has authored a series of documentaries called Ancient Apocalypse1. In which he gives many examples of seemingly advanced ancient civilizations destroyed by the floods of the collapsing Younger Dryas Ice Age. Many suggest that the images from Gobekli Tepe’s pillar number 43, also known as the Vulture Stone, record or prophesy the destruction of humanity by an impact event. Images from this pillar also seem to be an astrological date stamp of 10950 BC ± 250 yrs, which also corresponds closely to the collapse of the Younger Dryas,2 an astrological date stamp that also correlates with earth’s cyclic encounter with a swarm of comet debris from the Taurid meteor stream. An encounter called by some as, ‘the worst day in humanities prehistory’ to include floods, acid rains, extinctions, earth change, knocking mankind backwards into a more primitive stone-age way of life battling for survival.3
Yet, we are also taught that humanities prehistory included the age of the dinosaur, an age of hundreds of millions of uninterrupted years of evolutionary change and reptilian dominance. Only Whole Earth Decompression Dynamics (WEDD) yields a plausible mechanism to explain this paradigm shift between a seeming uninterrupted biosphere we call the ‘age of the dinosaur’ and the cyclic ancient apocalyptic collapse of human civilization.
Intro
I introduce myself as a Gnostic Christian, by which I mean a Christian that is open to information and to remove myself from the trappings of any particular religious dogma. The Gnostic attitude is that it all happened only one way; therefore, all real empirical evidence, regardless of source, is just more evidence supporting the same truth. Gnostic Christianity is also the same term coined by Roman Catholic authority to define the original Pentecostal Messianic Christianity of the early Christians before Rome turned it into Catholicism.
If both science and Scripture are valid, then they are just two different perspectives of the same event, to which, they both witness. Einstein’s statement that time is dependent upon the perspective of the viewer is common knowledge today and has withstood over 100 years of scientific peer review. The truth of his statement is also validated by the Old Testament, Psalms 90:4 “For a thousand years in Your sight are like a day just passing by, or like a watch in the night”; and by the New Testament, 2 Peter 3:8 “… with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.”
The statement, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” was something mystical, magical, or super-duper-natural. Einstein said E=mc2, and suddenly the idea of a singularity expressing itself as everything we know as incorruptible and invisible + everything we know that is visible and corruptible becomes mathematically plausible. Even in high school, my term paper in biology focused on the correlation of ORDER between textbook evolution and scriptural creation.
In 2011, I offered a paper titled Incremental Creation4 in which I argued, religious fundamentalism clings to six 24-hour days, but the realist, with a Gnostic attitude / open mind has to ask, If God is omnipotent then why did it take him 24 hours to do a day’s worth of creating? To suggest that it took omnipotent God six whole days, is actually suggesting that God was dragging it out for some reason. When God performed his creative day, did it all happen in the first nanosecond of the day or did some things happen after breakfast, and a few more after lunch, then dinner and evening, and so on? Incremental Creation allows God to perform His creative miracles in a progressive manner that is later rediscovered by man. However, in an attempt to leave God out of the picture, this progressive manner is misunderstood as evolution.
Man is so arrogant that religious zealots skip over the story of creation and rush to the story of mankind. It is all about man. Both scripture and science tell us that time is not linear. In the expression E=mc2 time is a variable. The Gnostic attitude would allow the Creator time to stop and enjoy each incremental step along the way. Reinforcing the revelation that Scripture and science are just two different perspectives of the same event, to which, they both witness, remembering that any one perspective, even biblical, never contains the entire truth, but all it points to the real truth.
The Prophesy of Gobekli Tepe
Gen 8:18 So Noah came out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives.
Gen 8:19 Every animal—every crawling creature, every flying creature, everything that crawls upon the land—came out from the ark in their families.
Gen 8:20 Then Noah built an altar to Adonai…
Gobekli Tepe might be the absolute oldest TEMPLE on earth, but to date several older communities have been uncovered predating Gobekli Tepe by up to 4500 years. Again there is a correlation between the periodicity of ancient mega-structures and ancient organized but vanished cultures. What is referred to as “the prophesy” originates from the images on Pillar 43 that proclaim the night sky in 10,950 BCE as the year of the comet5.
An astrological date stamp that also correlates with earth’s cyclic encounter with a swarm of comet debris from the Taurid meteor stream that peaks roughly every 3,000 years, +/- 500 years6.
Due to the nature of orbital mechanics, earth actually passes through the debris field twice generating two different overlapping peaks of activity peaks separated by a few centuries, every 3000 years. There are times when the two orbits overlap so closely that earth passes through an intense period of potential impact activity and the next major peak is expected around 3000 AD7.
Coherent Catastrophism
Coherent Catastrophism8 is a fancy term used by NASA to describe the ‘Collision Hazard’ of periodic deep space objects returning to the inner solar system and points out the potentially significant contribution to history, on a timescale relevant to mankind. This convergence of astronomical and archaeological evidence has potentially profound consequences to our understanding of civilization and ancient history.9 Basically admitting that periodically throughout earth’s history Collision Hazards have cyclically interrupted peaceful earth, these could be near misses or direct impacts. Any rogue independent comet or asteroid of substantial size could easily cause an extinction level event on earth. Just ask the dinosaurs.
Apophis (The Egyptian God of the Death)
Some of these comets and asteroids are classified as ‘near earth objects’ that continue to threaten earth with predictable periodicity. For example the asteroid Apophis threatens earth’s existence every 40 years as it comes closer and closer to hitting the earth. 2029 will see it pass closer to the earth than many of our communication satellites. If that one doesn’t get us, 2069 will be even closer.10
As we discuss the Cyclic Collapse of Human Civilization, why isn’t there more interest in April 13, 2029, when Apophis, an assumed 6.1×1010 kg rock of a mean density around 3.2 g/cm3 will pass within just 19,000 miles (31,000 kilometers) to the earth, closer than some of our communication satellites? It will light up the sky so bright that everyone in the Eastern Hemisphere will watch it fly by.11 Will it plow a path through those satellites leaving nothing but space junk in its wake? Will it disrupt our atmosphere, cause mega-storms, or deplete the ozone layer? Will it be the EM pulse that will end electronic civilization? What will be the impact of its getting even closer in another 40 years? Why is the recognized genius of our time, Elon Musk, pushing so hard to make man interplanetary to survive a potential extinction level event, or at least, a civilization ending event?
Slovak astronomer Ľubor Kresák suggested that the 1908 Tunguska Explosion was due to Taurid fragment.12 The Taurid stream is known to contain much larger bodies than we see with the naked eye and within the Beta Taurid meteor stream there could be a dense cluster of much larger objects indeed. Both are considered to be what is left of a demolished comet called Encke.13 Personally, I find it curious that Enki is actually the Sumerian deity of creation, water, and knowledge.14
The evidence suggests that the historical cycle of civilization collapse does in fact correlate with the same periodicity of earth passing through the Taurid meteor stream. To this I would add Zechariah Sitchen and his planet Nebiru that passes by the earth every 3600 years. To this I would also add Graham Hancock’s ancient apocalypse evidence. He gives many examples of seemingly advanced ancient civilizations destroyed by the floods of the collapsing Younger Dryas Ice Age. In reality, the Younger Dryas period was just the last segment of a 100,000 year long Ice Age that contained several recorded thaw/freeze cycles.15 Heinrich, and Dansgaard/Oeschger events are well documented and predate the Younger Dryas, known for being the last in the series, signifying the end of the ice age termed ‘glacial termination.’ That happened around 15,000 years ago when the Earth started warming abruptly.16,17
Periodicity
Impacts to earth, on land or sea, always eject particulates into the atmosphere blocking the sun and contributing to global cooling and Collision Hazards correlate with periodic civilization collapse. Graham Hancock argues this happened many times in many locations all around the earth. The question should be, ‘Just how many 3000-4000 year cycles of civilization occurred during the 100,000 years of the Ice Age and just how many 3000-4000 year cycles of civilization collapse have happened since?’ Currently the Jewish calendar dates back approximately 6000 years. The recorded history of civilization is also only 5000 years old. If the cycle holds true, perhaps last pass through the Taurid Meteor Stream earth was just lucky enough to miss an impact. Therefore our current civilization had two consecutive 3000 years cycles in a row and the next biggest event isn’t predicted until approximately the year 3000.
Yet, dinosaurs are said to have ruled for hundreds of millions of years of uninterrupted tropical jungle and even scripture’s patriarchs before the Flood had incredibly long lives. Adding the biosphere to this history, the question becomes, ‘what mechanism facilitated the transition from peaceful earth to a 3000-4000 cyclic planetary civilization demise?’
Whole Earth Decompression Dynamics (WEDD)18
To be honest, my confusion between scripture and science did not congeal until October 6th, 2005 when I sat and listened to a lecture by Dr. J. Marvin Herndon, known to his colleagues as the Maverick Scientist.
Standard Planet Formation Theory suggests that all planetoids are formed by coalescing rocky formations pressing against the center until it lignifies. Then by a process of mantel convection all rocky elements of the planetoid is churned through a volcanic convection process to produce planetoids with continuous rocky crusts. This explanation seems to work well for every heavenly body we know, Mercury, Venus, Mars, our Moon, and the moons of other planets. However, earth is unlike any other planetoid we know. Our continental plates are separated by a much younger ocean floor.
Only Dr. Herndon’s Whole Earth Decompression Dynamics satisfies all the observed evidence. His alternative theory begins with earth forming as a large Jupiter sized Gas Giant Proto-Planet. He postulates that when the sun ignited, the eruptive shock wave swept the inner solar system of its rocky debris and swept the Gas Giant atmosphere away from Proto-Planet Earth. Once this Gas Giant atmosphere was ejected the 65% smaller rocky planetoid at the core, with its continuous rocky crust, was simply allowed to fracture into the separate continental plates and decompress into the earth’s current diameter.
The Fluid Dynamics of Whole Earth Decompression (FD-WEDT)19
My addendum to WEDD is simply the obvious fluid dynamics of the decompression sequence. Any eruptive event large enough to eject the Gas Giant atmosphere had to have been a sudden and catastrophic event. Fluid dynamics would have demanded that the trapped gasses and liquids (waters) within the earth’s mantle would have exploded to their equilibriums. This would have ripped the crust into its continental plates and flooded the planet with a layer of water, flooding the planetoid under an ocean of water transforming once Planetoid Pangea into a water world Oceana. The slower decompressing mantel below eventually pushed the continental plates back up through the water’s surface.
WEDD and FD-WEDT satisfies everyone else’s theories and provided the missing mechanism that drives them all. The first nuclear physicists of the 20th century all suggest that many of earth’s natural occurring minerals had to be created under extreme pressures and temperatures. There was even a suggestion made then of earth raining out swallowed rocky space debris, as they dissolve in our atmosphere, then raining out to form the layering of rock strata within the crust. Plate Tectonics was first suggested in 1912, but without explaining its driving mechanism. Expanding Earth was also first suggested in the 1930s, but again without explaining its driving mechanism. As with Incremental Creation, adding the scriptural ORDER to WEDD and FD-WEDT does not yield conflict.
Gen 1:6-8
The unexplained and confusing suggestion of a large firmament above is now explained as the Jupiter sized Gas Giant atmosphere of Proto-Planet Earth
Gen 2:5-6
No rain upon the land, but waters sprang up from the land and watered the whole surface of the round.
Gen 2:11-14
There were no large oceans, but four rivers encircled Planetoid Pangea originating within the Garden of Eden. FD-WEDT would suggest these were just the original decompression cracks that allowed waters to spring up from the mantel below. The very same original decompression cracks that gave birth to a younger ocean floor and still allow the waters to spring up from the mantel along with newer ocean floor basalts.
Gen 7:11-12 … (1) all the water sources of the great deep burst open, (2) and the windows of the sky were opened. (3) Then there was rain upon the land 40 days and 40 nights.
Gen 8:1-3 (4) God caused a wind to pass over the land and the water subsided. (5) the sources of the deep and the windows of the skies were closed up, (6) and the rain from the sky was held back. (7) The waters kept receding gradually from upon the land
Gen 9:12 Then God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I am making between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you for all future generations.
Gen 9:13 My rainbow do I place in the cloud, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the land.
Gen 9:14 Whenever I bring clouds over the land and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
Gen 7:11-12 … (1) all the water sources of the great deep burst open, (2) and the windows of the sky were opened. (3) Then there was rain upon the land 40 days and 40 nights.
Gen 8:1-3 (4) God caused a wind to pass over the land and the water subsided. (5) the sources of the deep and the windows of the skies were closed up, (6) and the rain from the sky was held back. (7) The waters kept receding gradually from upon the land.
Even to the idea of a thick firmament above, no rain, no rainbow, and four rivers watering the entire planet from the ground up could be consistent with a compressed continuous rocky crust of Planetoid Pangea at the heart of a primordial Jupiter sized Gas Giant Proto-Planet. Adding the geological and biological fossil record of Planetoid Pangea to this decompression sequence suggests a very active biosphere indeed. Adding the scriptural version of life before the Flood yields an interesting human layer to that biosphere. Adding an Enochian reality to that same biosphere paints a very different reality than today. As with Incremental Creation, adding the scriptural ORDER to WEDD and FD-WEDT does not yield conflict. Both Scripture and science are just two different perspectives of the same event, to which, they both witness.
The First great Collapse of Human Civilization
The Memoirs of Noah - Adding the scriptural version of life after the Flood, must include the number one question put to Noah by his grandchildren, ‘Tell us what it was like before the Flood,’ the first great collapse of civilization. Adding the Enochain reality to this would have sounded like a time when false gods, demi-gods, wizards, magic spells and potions, trolls, and troglodytes, behemoth dragons, Leviathans, and war existed. A time that sounds very much like the Middle Earth depicted in the legends and myths that survive in every culture around the globe. An Atlantis-style civilization, complete with technological advances, all buried beneath the waves of the biblical Flood of Noah.
The Second Great Collapse of Civilization
The Tower of Babel is the first Biblical reference to a post-flood civilization. In just a short time, this flood-surviving culture collectively working together began reaching for the stars. Building a stone tower into the heavens would have been a masonry folly. At some point it would collapse under its own weight or workmen would eventually run out of air. Instead we are told that the Lord was impressed with their achievement. The Lord’s statement sounds like the praise of a proud father, yet, His response was to cause the second great collapse of civilization.
Gen 11:6 Adonai said, “Look, the people are one and all of them have the same language. So this is what they have begun to do. Now, nothing they plan to do will be impossible.
Gen 11:7 Come! Let Us go down and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand each other’s language.”
Subsequent observations from FD-WEDT also make a correlation with the great ice age of our past by suggesting that what was once compressed is allowed to decompress releasing its stored energy, resulting in ice forming upon the evaporative surface. Freezers do it, refrigerators do it, and even air conditioners do it, FD-WEDT simply suggests that earth did it, on a planetary scale. The transformation from tropical pre-flood reality into a post-decompression ice age with glaciers miles deep took time. You can Ponder for yourself if there was enough time for a Tower of Babel culture to develop before the first ice, or was the Tower of Babel culture just another example of Graham Hancock’s ancient apocalypse.
WEDD + The clearing of the inner solar system
The Nebular Hypotheses and the standard Planet Formation Theory both suggest a violent beginning to our solar system. WEDD draws from scientists who described the earth forming under much higher temperatures and pressures than today, as well, as the discussion of rocky minerals raining out to the ground in layers as they are consumed by the Gas Giant atmosphere of Proto-Planet Earth. Both the earth and he moon show evidence of a violent past with impact craters found ubiquitous over the surface. All the planetary bodies we know of record the impacts of a violent past.
The dinosaur extinction event is blamed upon an asteroid impact somewhere around 65 million years ago.20 The timing of the decompression sequence of WEDD would correlate with the oldest ocean floor around 70 million years ago. FD-WEDT suggests that these two separate events in history simply correlate to 67.5 million years ago with a +/- 2.5 million year margin of error.
Planet Theia is missing from our solar system. Disruption Theory21 suggests a Planet V, also known as The Tiamat planet or Phaeton. It was once a planet between Mars and Jupiter, and its destruction resulted in the formation of the asteroid belt. The giant impact hypothesis22 suggests that a Mars-sized planetoid called Theia was destroyed as it slammed into Earth, leaving blobs within earth and creating the moon in the process. I have even speculated that the asteroid belt itself is a possible remnant of this WEDD inner solar system clearing event, remaining as a type of bath tub ring at the extent of the eruptive wave front, and then held in place by the gravitational demands of the Golden Fibonacci 1.6 Ratio.
The Cyclic Collapse of Human Civilization
WEDD yields a plausible mechanism to explain the paradigm shift between a seeming uninterrupted biosphere we call the ‘age of the dinosaur’ and the cyclic ancient apocalyptic collapse of human civilization. Of course primordial earth bears the scars of the impacts of its creation, but once we reached Day 5 of Biblical creation, the age of the dinosaur, the biosphere below was protected by the Gas Giant sized firmament (atmosphere) above.
There is no escaping the correlation between the Cyclic Collapse of Human Civilization and the Collison Hazards of our 3000-4000 year periodic interaction with the Taurid meteor stream. WEDD and FD-WEDT both support the shock wave that cleared the inner solar system of its rocky debris; possibly even destroying entire planetoids, while ejecting objects into long elliptical orbits that all eventually cyclically return to the inner solar system.
WEDD + FD-WEDT yield a plausible mechanism for the impact / flood / earth change event that caused the end of the “age of the dinosaur” and a plausible mechanism and sequence to the Biblical Flood of Noah, which began the 3000-4000 year cycle of humanities periodic collapse. Beginning with the Biblical Flood of Noah, then continued through the Ice Age with periodic freeze/thaw cycles. Then moving on to Graham Hancock’s Ancient Apocalypse theory speaking of multiple examples of ancient independent civilization pockets found all over the world that are periodically erased by flood events.
It is the arrogance of modern educated man to think these ancient civilizations were limited in development, somehow trapped to the Stone Age. Yet, our very own culture dates back some 3000 years ago to the Fertile Crescent between Egypt and Sumer. A closer look at our 3000 year cycle reveals a long lag phase in development until we actually grew exponentially into global dominance. Humanities real technological development only began in our last 500 years and true scientific advancement in the last 200 years. Today, humanity’s future is predicted as a population collapse or demographic winter death spiral. Also not in conflict with a Scriptural tribulation that becomes so bad that God has to step in, with yet another humanity reset and rebirth.
Mat 24:21 For then there will be great trouble, such as has not happened since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.
Mat 24:22 And unless those days were cut short, no one would be delivered. But for the sake of the chosen, those days will be cut short.
Rev 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
Even our beginning in the Fertile Crescent seems to be predated by more ancient civilizations that were covered by a post Ice Age rise in sea level. Older cultures are found off the coast of the Indus Valley, between Cuba and Florida, and off the coast of Japan. Everyone is perplexed over ‘out of place’ artifacts, or amazed at the complex construction techniques, and even dumbfounded at how well ancient man understood the heavens. There can be no argument that ancient man could have reached similar development as us, or even surpassed us, in a 3000 year run. Some reaching the mythical standards of a lost Atlantis; all lost beneath the waves. Some possibly even surpassing Elon Musk’s desire to leave human evidence on the moon and beyond?
Today we look up at these meteor showers with peaceful wonder. Could this just be the result of a thinning of the debris field over time or the result of just dumb luck of avoiding the larger fragments? The trend through history began with extinction level events, cyclic cosmic events that introduced new clouds of nuclear winter to perpetuate the Ice Age, then moderating to cycles of weather change and drought. Droughts and waning rivers are blamed for many collapses of several civilizations around the world, including the Akkadian collapse of Mesopotamia, around 4200 BC.23 Just another example of periodic cultural demise, a humanity reset, to start over, with limited surviving knowledge of the past.
Ecc 3:1 For everything there is a season and a time for every activity under heaven:
Ecc 1:9 What has been is what will be, and what has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun.
Ecc 1:10 Is there anything about which is said, “Look! This is new!”? It was already here long ago, in the ages long before us.
Ecc 1:11 There is no remembrance for former things, and things yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow.
Gobekli Tepe is just our most recent discovery of an ancient culture that may have existed for 1000 years, finally developing into peoples who could build Gobekli Tepe and recorded this periodic nature of civilization collapse in stone. Just as it has taken us 3000 years to discover Gobekli Tepe and understand its message. The cycle of life is written into nature everywhere we look. Birth is followed by a lag phase of developmental growth to the log phase of adulthood and the strength of maturity giving way to the death spiral of civilization collapse. It is the observed life cycle of the cosmos and stars above, the biology all around us, and the microscopic world below.
If both science and Scripture are valid, then they are just two different perspectives of the same event, to which, they both witness. Therefore, I am not surprised that it is also written into the very foundation of Old Testament Jewish theology. Birth, growth to maturity, followed by death and new life.
