Chronicles of Earth

The history of Earth can be somewhat arbitrarily divided into four ages:

            Ancient History -- from the Dawn of Man until roughly 600 B.C.E.

            Early History -- 600 B.C.E. to roughly 900 A.D.

            Recent History -- 900 A.D. to 1950 A.D.

            Current History -- 1950 A. D. to the present

Much of the history discussed in this website is ancient history, in the form of the Annals of Earth, the Epic of Creation, and Genesis.  Sumerian history is emphasized, inasmuch as it was the earliest well-recorded history of civilization.  At the same time, the critical, connecting threads which lead from ancient history into the modern day are also followed to some degree -- if only because it is in knowing history that we are afforded the opportunity not to repeat the negative aspects of it.

In all four histories, there is an officially sanctioned history, the story of events which are accepted by the establishment and/or the mainstream historians.  None of these histories are complete, and in fact are so woefully inadequate that they surely constitute fraud and misrepresentation in being presented as if this version is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.  Not only was history written by the victors in any given conflict or event, but it was then revised by whoever took over from the victors, and by whatever means they came into power.  Mainstream history is, therefore, a double edged sword to be wielded at will in order to justify and legitimize the rule of a select group over others.

Mainstream history is not all lies.  A fundamental rule followed by organizations such as the National Enquirer is that one always begins with some acceptable truth, and thereafter speculates about what might have stemmed from the truth.  The kernel of truth contained therein is what provides the appearance of legitimacy, and those people who lack the basis of Discrimination, often blithely accept the illogical and irrational arguments and stories which stem from this truth, but which themselves are no more than creative fiction.

Mainstream history, by its very nature, cannot be trusted.  It is mainstream because it is accepted by so-called authorities (historians, politicians, and those in the employ of the elite and powerful).  It serves the agendas of those same authorities, and is therefore nothing more than propaganda or an adherence to the “party line.”

Alternative histories are those histories which challenge the authorities, the party line, the mainstream, and then attempt -- hopefully -- to research and present history in terms of what actually transpired, and not necessarily what might make someone or something look good.  Alternative histories are not necessarily any more legitimate than the stuff served up by the mainstream -- they can have their own agendas as well.  But an earnest effort into discovering historical truths can be very enlightening.

The study of history is really about considering all or most of the alternatives and applying Discrimination in deciding what in fact was the truth, what actually happened, and what does it mean to us today.  “Yea shall know the truth and the truth shall set yea free.”  But truth often comes at the price of homework, of an open mind, and an ability to let go (after perhaps a momentary period of anger at having been deceived) of any and all notions and preconceptions -- in effect, being primed for a Paradigm Shift.

Any investigation into ancient, early, recent or current history, one must always bear in mind that anything written in the past is just as likely to be a history written by the victors (as the modern day “spins” of current events).  Therefore even the most ancient and revered document might have been written with a political agenda.

This latter point applies to the first five books of the Bible, which were written at the time when the Hebrews were being held captive in Babylon, and which was influenced by the apparent lack on the part of the Hebrews’ God to prevent their defeat and captivity.  An critical item of such history was to explain why the “chosen people” were not doing at all well at that period of time.  Admittedly, much of the information in Genesis is an accurate account of what transpired at the time, but ancient and modern interpretations are often fundamentally flawed, and thereby lead to erroneous conclusions.

Abraham, for example, had access to sheep (as in substituting one for the sacrifice of his son).  There does in fact seem little doubt that Abraham did have flocks in his life.  This truth, however, is then interpreted in such a way that many think Abraham was a simple shepherd, a man in the business of herding sheep.  And yet, when his nephew, Lot, was in trouble, Abraham just happened to have arms for 318 trained servants, who in an effective military operation, rescued Lot.  In effect, Abraham was a commander of an elite military calvary.  Any sheep running about, was due to the fact that any army of the time, took their food with them in the form of livestock in order to feed the troups.

Another often flawed interpretation is often associated with Joshua 12:13, wherein the history is reinterpreted as allegory, in order to claim legitimacy.  But as shown in Sun Stand Thou Still, the biblical version is quite likely a true, accurate appraisal of events.

The alternative history given in the pages below, are an attempt to present reality, or what is perceived as such.  Inasmuch as the histories involved are ancient or traditionally secret (esoteric - for the few) implies a degree of speculation. 

 

Mayan Calendar

There is a rumor going around that at the end of the Mayan Calendar, the world will end.  An alternative view is that the World Will Not End!  [A third alternative is that time as we know it will end, but the world may continue merrily along -- in some fashion or another!]

Carlos Barrios [1], an historian and anthropologist, is reputed to have said that, “Other people write about prophecy in the name of the Maya.  They say that the world will end in December 2012.”  Barrios claims that the Mayan elders are angry about this.  According to them, the world will not end.  It will be transformed.  There is, in fact, a difference.  

The Mayan’s comprehension of time, seasons, and cycles has proven itself to be vast and sophisticated.  The Maya developed 17 different calendars, some of them claiming to chart time accurately over a span of more than ten million years [But how would anyone know?].  The particular Mayan Calendar that has steadily drawn global attention since 1987 is called the Tzolk’in or Cholq’ij.  This calendar was devised ages ago and is based on the cycle of the Pleiades.  As such, it is held as sacred.   

With indigenous calendars, native people have kept track of important turning points in history.  For example, the daykeepers who studied the calendars identified an important day in the year One Reed, Ce Acatal, as it was called.  That was the day when an important ancestor was prophesied to return, “coming like a butterfly.”  In the western calendar, the One Reed date correlates to Easter Sunday, April 21, 1519 the day that Hernando Cortez and his fleet of 11 Spanish galleons arrived from the East at what is today called Vera Cruz, Mexico.  When the Spanish ships came toward shore, native people were waiting and watching to see how it would go.  The billowing sails of the ships did indeed remind the scouts of butterflies skimming the ocean surface.  

This event initiated a new era, one that had been anticipated through the Mayan calendars.  The Maya termed the new era: the Nine Bolomtikus, or nine Hells of 52 years each.  As the nine cycles unfolded, the Mayan land and freedom were taken from the native people.  Disease and disrespect dominated.  What began with the arrival of Cortez, lasted until August 16, 1987 - a date many people refer to as the Harmonic Convergence.  Millions of people took advantage of the latter date to share in ceremonies at sacred sites, praying for a smooth transition to a new era, the World of the Fifth Sun.

From that 1987 date until now, Mr. Barrios says, “We have been in a time when the right arm of the materialistic world is disappearing, slowly but inexorably.  We are at the cusp of the era when peace begins, and people live in harmony with Mother Earth.  We are no longer in the World of the Fourth Sun, but we are not yet in the World of the Fifth Sun. This is the time in-between, the time of transition.  As we pass through transition there is a colossal, global convergence of environmental destruction, social chaos, war, and ongoing Earth changes.”  

[All good calendar changes have transitions.  They are really essential.]

All this, Mr. Barrios says, was foreseen via the simple, spiral mathematics of the Mayan calendars. “It will change,” Mr. Barrios observes. “Everything will change.” He said Mayan Daykeepers view the Dec. 21, 2012 date as a rebirth, the start of the World of the Fifth Sun.  It will be the start of a new era resulting from and signified by the solar meridian crossing the galactic equator, and the earth aligning itself with the center of the galaxy.  And while the so-called World of the Fourth Sun will indeed end, the result is true to the idea of Death and Rebirth.  The key is not focusing on death, but on the rebirth!  

At sunrise on December 21, 2012 for the first time in 26,000 years the Sun rises to conjunct the intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic.  This cosmic cross is considered to be an embodiment of the Sacred Tree, the Tree of Life, a tree remembered in all the world’s spiritual traditions.  Some observers say this alignment with the heart of the galaxy in 2012 will open a channel for cosmic energy to flow through the earth, cleansing it and all that dwells upon it, raising all to a higher level of vibration.  

This process has already begun, Mr. Barrios suggested.  

“Change is accelerating now, and it will continue to accelerate.”  If the people of the earth can get to this 2012 date in good shape, without having destroyed too much of the Earth, Mr. Barrios said, we will rise to a new, higher level.  

The Most Awaited Movie of the Year 2012

The most awaited movie of the year…
2012-END OF THE WORLD
...............
..........
.....
SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS from around the world are predicting that 3 years from now, all life on Earth could well come to an end. Some are saying it'll be humans that would set it off. Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are saying it'll be God himself who would press the stop button. The following are some likely arguments as to why the world would end by the year 2012.

Reason one: Mayan calendar

The first to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things -- building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and sacrificing virgins.

Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it's likely they've got the end of the world right as well.

Reason two: Sun storms

Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery. Our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic and it's supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the earth with lot of radiation energy. It's been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse and calculations suggest it'll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012.

Reason three: The atom smasher

Scientists in Europe have been building the world's largest particle accelerator. Basically, its a 27 km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it's properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They're predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.

Reason four: The Bible says it

If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn't bad enough, religious folks are getting in on the act as well. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between good an evil, has been set for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese Book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.

Reason five: Super volcano

Yellowstone National Park in United States is famous for its thermal springs and old faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple -- it's sitting on top of the world's biggest volcano and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we're many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.

Reason six: The physicists

This one's case of bog -- simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berkely University have been crunching the numbers.
They've determined that the earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they're claiming that their calculations prove that we're all going to die, very soon. They are also saying that their prediction comes with a certainty of 99 per cent; and 2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs.

Reason seven: Earth's magnetic field

We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that shields us from most of the sun's radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call North and South have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so -- and right now we're about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30 kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is under way, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.
