Ancient Tidbits.

4.Let us consider what the earth, the Northern Hemisphere, may have looked like near the end of the ice age in the Age of Leo. The ice cap was immense and after perhaps six thousand years, what?, eighteen to twenty five thousand feet deep. Sound right? All of the mountains under glaciers of immense size. Now, the water to create all that ice and snow had to come from somewhere, and it came from the oceans. Water converted to snow meant the ocean levels dropped to provide. Estimates run a retreat from five hundred to fifty feet hundred feet. Thus all land over that was exposed. All the evidence points to the fact that it was inhabited.
Two choice bits of exposed land were the Mediterranean and the valley of the Persian gulf with the Tigris-Euphrates running the entire length into the Indian ocean. Thus we have the two civilizations, the one that became Egypt and the one that became Mesopotamian. Let us first consider the latter. The Persian Gulf today is only three hundred feet deep so that it was well above sea level and wouldn’t be affected for some time as the waters rose. This requires some conjecture.
The Sumerians and later speak with some reverence and awe of Ethiopians, while the Jews say that Eden was to the East, that is toward India, down in the valley, India, at that time, was occupied by a Black race. Whence the Black race? When India split off from Africa way back when and beyond the flora and fauna went with it. The animals are much the same, some evolution involved, and the human population was apparently black, but not necessarily Negro. These are the Ethiopians the Sumerians were talking about. They must have been the civilizers represented by Oannes who rose from the flooded gulf to educate them. Throughout history the civilizers seem to come by sea.
Why was the gulf a paradise? An aside: When I was in the Navy we visited Pago Pago in American Samoa. Weather wise this was a paradise. Samoa is on the equator and so should have been blistering. Pago Pago, a mere settlement, no city, was located at the bottom of a mountain on the sea shore. A wind blew constantly down the mountain cooling the temperature as it came so that Pago Pago was a constant 70 degrees. Delightful. I conjecture that that was the case with the Gulf valley. Couldn’t ask for more.
Of course, as the waters continued to rise the Ethiopians were flushed out of the Valley moving into the hills upstream. There they came into contact with the less developed back country people bringing their civilization with them. Thus the post flood civilization began. Well, that’s a tough one. How rapidly did the waters rise?
Perhaps the entire Age of Leo were rising waters, coastal settlement having to be abandoned regularly. There is some evidence of human presence in the Age of Cancer with greater development in the Age of Gemini increasing in the Age of Taurus until blossoming in the Age of Ares inro Pisces. By then the ocean levels were close to ours. They say the level is still slowly rising so that may go on until the Big Freeze comes around again. On to Egypt. (Cont.)

While we’re talking about the Ancients here, let us take a moment to consider the creation of a very important item, that of the Zodiac. The Zodiac was an idea not born in the local pub by a few inebriated celebrants. It didn’t come into existence over a generation. No, lit was a long thought out result of an acute astronomical study by generations of the priesthood. The priests were the original scholars. In my youth we sneered at priesthoods and laughed them to scorn. Nevertheless civilization has its base in the priesthoods and as this Great Year we are in is generally considered to be the fourth, the Zodiac had its germ way back a hundred thousand years ago.
The Zodiac was never intended to be a fortune telling tool. It began as a calendar divided into 12 units just as the terrestrial year is of twelve units. Over the Great Years it also appears to have become a weather predictor. The twelve Ages of about 2100 years each can be grouped into four seasons that corresponds to the annual year. If we begin with Easter as the new year the groupings Pisces, Aires, and Taurus as the Great Year summer And Gemini, Cancer and Leo as the Spring. Scorpio, Libra and Virgo as the Winter of each recurring ice age. Aquarius, Capricorn and Sagittarius then is the Fall. This series of seasons recurs every twenty-six thousand years.
12-13 thousand years ago Spring and Summer of the Great Year began. We are now entering the Age of Aquarius or Autumn. That’s the calendar and we now get to the weather. Just as in the annual year each season has its own particular weather. In other words, turning to astronomy, the earth’s position vis a vis the Sun changes. Weather phenomena will necessarily be different for the various seasons. If you notice the symbol for Aquarius is a boy pouring water from a jug unto Earth. Therefore we may conclude that the next 2100 years are going to be in various stages of wet. The wet period is not caused by human activities it is inevitable and unavoidable. The only reaction to it can be adaptation. Everything we have known now becomes wrong. Adapt or die. (Cont.)
