Description

Armando Mei proposes a framework for reading ancient myth that treats it neither as pure invention nor as literal history, but as encoded memory of real geophysical events placed in chronological order. Applying this method to the last 100,000 years produces three distinct epochs that appear consistently across mythological traditions worldwide. The first is the Toba supervolcano eruption approximately 74,000 years ago, which caused a global volcanic winter and a severe genetic bottleneck in the human population. The second is the Zep Tepi - the Egyptian mythological concept of a first time, dated in Egyptian sources to around 36,400 BC - representing the rise of a civilisation of demigods preceding the pharaonic dynasties. The third is the Great Flood at approximately 10,500 BC, marking the end of that earlier order and the foundation of successor civilisations including the Sumerians and Egyptians. Armando grounds this framework in paleomagnetic and Pleistocene climate data, using objective geophysical records to test which mythological claims have scientific support. Hapgood's crustal displacement hypothesis, for instance, finds no substantial evidence in the geological record - and Armando notes that any shift of that magnitude would require an enormous external force, such as a major celestial impact. The task, as Armando frames it, is to separate plausible scientific memory from poetic elaboration.

I appreciate anyone searching for the truth of history, we've been lied to maliciously.

Hmmmm 36,400 minus 10,500 = 25,900 years... that's the great year (precession of the equinoxes) and lines up with the younger dryas 12,500 years ago, sounds like the gods got off on the last stop when their planet came around

Goes along with Cayce's timelines of Atlantis which sank in 3 episodes over the 100,000 year time line, so matches..

Why do you think nothing biblical ever happens anymore?

If the planet is hollow as has been suggested.. alot... crustal rotation is still not viable... however, in Northland New Zealand, there has been an alochthon... a huge mass of seafloor has slid over top of the northern part of the North Island of NZ, and they have no idea how this happened nor what could have caused it... documented... look it up... so some massive slabs of land has flung itself from the ocean bottom and landed on top of the Northern half of the North Island of Nz...check it out...

Brushing over physical effects isn't science

As a layperson, the only thing I can think of that may explain everything of ancient interest around the world is nuclear energy. It seems that the pyramids were originally built to be air-tight. Could some older civilization have harnessed and focused nuclear energy, with its capability for high and possibly low temperatures, on natural stone that had existed since the earth was born, some 4 billion+ years ago? Did that older civilization and all materials less than stone, plus the surface and sub-surfaces of the earth, disintegrate because the "lids" of the stone containers for stores of usable (unspent) nuclear energy were damaged by cosmic events? Why did only diamonds and some gold survive among the nano-diamonds? Did the older civilization anticipate such events? Did they know that nuclear energy and it's subsequent radiation was so devastating? Why were so many stone boxes found buried far underground, inaccessible from above, beside, or below? Is it because they contained depleted (spent) nuclear material? What was found in the Serapeum's boxes? Were their contents totally decomposed after eons? Wasn't some 'sludge' found inside by modern man? Why were so many construction sites abruptly left abandoned seemingly mid-work? Only something as lethal as nuclear energy with its high and possibly low temperatures could have been focused to move, lift and create or melt into pliable stone the openly visible: walls, structures, water transportation networks, statues, flooring, underground cities, granite vases, East Indian caves, etc. Was just water used to polish-off the stone while still soft (the liquid used left no traces)? Why were hard-stone vases, which are geometrically nearly perfect, found buried deep underground, which protected them from nuclear blasts and cosmic impact events? Since no evidence of plentiful soot from torches was found in tunnels, did they light them with Dendera devices (Praveen Mohan hosted "Bill" showing actual lights in operation using an independent electricity source). And what were all the water structures for? To cool the nuclear energy they were producing? Were nuclear blasts and fallout radiation (not to mention nuclear material then in use) why we have found so few decomposable tools and no others? Did later civilizations, like the Egyptians and the Tiwanaku of Pumapunku, "try" to duplicate the older civilization's methods without knowing the source of the energy? Is that why so many non-functional things have been described in the written record among the seemingly undocumented functional structures that we can see with our own eyes? Did later civilizations who "inherited" the older works find them so difficult to comprehend that they worshipped them instead, as evidenced by the later "chicken scratches" on otherwise smooth and polished surfaces? It might behoove us to be very careful with nuclear energy even if we manage to harness and focus it. Another cosmic event or nuclear war may release it once again upon this earth, wiping us out as the dinosaurs once were.

If you look at the stars at night it is interesting to see there are a lot of 3 star clusters that make the different triangles, almost like a teacher showing you the different types of triangles on a blackboard. I was thinking about how they would have first come up with the precision angle finding and thought the first rulers were probably made using a knife edge to make the thinnest mark possible, and a hair as the space between lines, it makes sense because the way the royal cubit system works using parts of a human as the measurements, then to make the tool you would first start with a circle, then make the four centering or zeroing marks X then you know it will be equal parts within those sectors which gives you a proof to work from, just like the 90 degree right triangle corner gives you proof, that you can use to assume calculations.
