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.)

You were there and I wasn’t; but it is my general understanding per the laws of physics that as air sinks (that is downslopes) it compresses and heats up; this is called adiabatic compressional warming I believe; leading to chinooks and foehns.

Well, we were down on the equator. They do things differently there. Your science is probably accurate. Pago Pago is at the bottom of a mountain. If the temperature was say 40 at the top it would gradually warm as you say. Thirty degrees maybe, I don’t know but Pago Pago was a constant 70 degrees and so was the ocean. Of course one can always be mistaken.
Transfered to the Gulf. however the air traveling from the snow covered mountains would be starting at an even colder temperature, perhaps 0 or below? What do you think.

So its another year already….
I hope all is well with you Ronald!

Hi. Just discovered your work on ERB while trying to understand the hidden meaning of the movie Interstellar. They are very exciting and stimulating! Are you aware that your work is a huge inspiration for Christopher Nolan’s interstellar and other works? And are you at liberty to acknowledge it if you are? Do you think it ethical of me to try to out him on this? I look forward to having time to read all your writings.

Well BHG I’m very flattered by your assessment of my work. I do think I have been a major contributor to the understanding of ERB’s work although to this point I considered it mere vanity. As for Christopher Nolan I am totally unaware. As for acknowledging it I’d have to know what it was and I would really be curious to know how it came about otherwise I have no mysteries. You know I’ve been working in the coal mines here for twenty years now and don’t have any idea of what’s going on on the surface. What is involved in ethical, why ethical? Thanks for the encouragement. I don’t know what am I at liberty means.
