Egyptian Concept of the solid core of Mars being prepared for launch.

Someone recently accused Cyclic Catastrophism of being a clone of Zechriah Sitchin’s work.  No one who has read my books or posts thoroughly could come to this conclusion.  Nevertheless, some of his English translations, particularly of Egyptian hieroglyphs have supplied details reinforcing the Cyclic Catastrophism scenario.  Language translation is only the first step in understanding ancient texts. The second step is the interpretation of the intent in the original authors mind. I maintain that all the ancient texts written prior to 700 BC were meant to document all-consuming close encounters of Venus, Mars and Mercury with the Earth. These disturbed its rotation, induced innumerable earthquakes and caused 5000 foot high stationary tides hundreds of times between 3700 and 700 BC. In fact, the word god was the same as glowing (body) in every ancient culture.  Sitchin imagined one very distant planet Nibiru (never observed), the nearest approach of which to the Earth was fifty million miles, only every 3600 years. He believed the gods in Sumerian texts were super human beings and (I suspect) interpreted the events described in the texts as interpersonal relations, inventing (I suspect) epithets for the otherwise meaningless names such as E.A “Whose House Is Water”, EN.KI “Lord of Earth”, EN.LIL “Lord of the Command” and MAR.DUK “Son of the Pure Mound”, even in some cases imagining conversations between them.

Stairway to Heaven, primarily Chapter IV with the same name, focuses on the imaginary journey of the deceased Egyptian Pharaohs’ souls ‘to the gods’. A few pages of text from this chapter and Figure 121 found in Chapter XII are particulary significant.  These few pages present an exquisite description of the process by which priori-Mars escaped its one-hundred geostationary encounters with the Earth, each of which lasted 15 years. In spite of the great emphasis on Nibiru in his books, Sitchin does not associate the Stairway to Heaven with this planet.

The pictograph of interest (figure above) is taken from the Papyrus of Queen Nejmet, part of The Book of the Dead. Sitchin identifies the scene as illustrating the final stage of the deceased Pharaoh’s journey as “in the Duat”, and the “Place of Ascending” on the “Red Eye of Horus”. But he then focuses on the “Divine Cordholders” at the top and bottom left, which he believes are “measuring” the Earth, leading to a long discussion of an imagined corridor for alien spaceships landing in Mesopotamia. He has no idea that the Duat referred to the Egyptian ‘raised land’ at the north pole of priori-Mars (Horus) in the center of which a huge volcanic vent was located which the Egyptians imagined was the entrance to the Amenta (‘underworld), or that the “Red Eye of Horus’ was the solid iron core of this planet, the expulsion of which initiated the many escapes of the planet from Earth orbit.

Actually there are two ‘places of ascending’ in the deceased pharaoh’s trip ‘to the gods’. The first was the Pharaoh’s ascent from the Earth to the Duat, imagined by the Egyptians to be facilitated by a ‘rope ladder’ lowered from the planet. This was actually the unique spindly hardened lava column depicted as the Tet or Djed Pillar hieroglyph, which extended several thousand km down toward the Earth (illustrated in my post on Akhenaten). This pillar was also the deity Osiris in other Egyptian texts. The deceased pharaoh’s second ascent was the launch of the solid iron core from the planet, imagined to be his ‘ship’ – the event (the only event) which could trigger the release of the planet from its geostationary orbit over Tibet. Because the Duat was at the north pole of priori-Mars whereas the solid iron core exited the planet through the great rift on the equator of Mars , now called the Valles Marineris, the Egyptians logically reasoned that the Pharaoh’s soul had to travel a considerable distance through the Amenta ‘underworld’ inside priori-Mars, answering a number of challenges from the ‘gods’ that existed there, in order to reach the solid iron core before it was ejected from the planet.

The Egyptians described Valles Marineris as the ‘double doors’, and they imagined the ‘Divine Cordholders’ adjusting the tension in two cables thought to launch the solid core through the doors (figure). The pharaoh finally reaches the ‘Eye of Ra’ or the ‘Eye of Horus’, both names applied to the solid iron core when it first protruded through the Valles Marineris like a single eye (the Greek Cyclops and the Muslim deceiver, Ad-Dajjal)) just before launch. In the figure above, the pharaoh is depicted mounted on the ‘eye’, ready for launch. The launch is witnessed by a number of ‘gods’.

Before reaching the material of real interest in Chapter IV, Sitchin fills some twenty pages with different texts concerning the challenges and hardships which the Pharaoh encounters while traversing the ‘’underworld’. The reason there are so many slightly different versions of these is that one hundred releases of priori-Mars occurred, one every thirty years, and thus the imagined aspects were inscribed slightly differently by many generations. Not realizing this, Sitchin mixes them all together. He finally begins ‘quoting’ the informative, consistent text concerning the afterlife of King Pepi, which conforms exactly to the details of in the pictograph above. The funerary text describes the opening of the Valles Marineris as the double doors. (Sitchin’s text in bold):

The door to heaven is open!
The door of Earth is open!
The aperture of the celestial window is open!
The Stairway to heaven is open.
The steps of light are revealed …
The double Doors to Heaven are open …

The sky-god has strengthened the radiance for the king
that the king may lift himself to Heaven
like the Eye of Ra.
The king is in this Eye of Horus …

The Eye of Horus begins to change hues: first it is blue, then it is red.

Blue is the color of the pure solid iron core when it first emerges, then when it is exposed to the oxygen in the atmosphere of priori-Mars it becomes red.

The Heaven speaks, the Earth quakes;
The Earth trembles; …
The ground has come apart …

O this Pepi!
Thou hast departed!
Thou art a Glorious One,
mighty as a god, seated as Osiris …

He flies who flies; this king Pepi flies away from you, ye mortals. He is not of Earth, he is of Heaven .. The king is now on the Sky-Bearer, the upholder of the stars; from within the shadows of the walls of God, he crosses the skies.

The “walls of God” are the stone walls of the Valles Marineris, since priori-Mars was the god Horus. The scraping of the solid core against sharp rocks in the walls gouged a series of visible parallel lines across its surface called ‘the Mercurian Grid’ by planetary scientists who imagine them to be ‘thrust faults’. These features led to the Greek myth that Hermes ( the solid core) invented the lyre.

He encompasses the sky like Ra,
He traverses the sky like Thoth …
He traveleth over the regions of Horus,
He traveleth over the regions of Seth …
He has completely encircled twice the heavens,
He has revolved about the two lands

Sitchin interjects: The king is not simply skybourne, he is orbiting the Earth.

Actually these lines are describing the solid iron core orbiting the shell of priori-Mars from which it has just been ejected. The region of Horus was the northern hemisphere, which faced the Earth during each encounter and the regions of Seth (Set) were the mountainous southern hemisphere which remained facing away from the Earth. Unbeknownst ot Egyptian scholars to this day, the term ‘the two lands’ always referred to the two dichotomus regions on priori-Mars.

…the king soars toward the eastern horizon, far far away in the heavens.
This is a description of the solid core of priori-Mars circling the Earth to the East away from Egypt from its geostationary position over Tibet.

Sitchin interjects: (A verse also states that the king “crosses the sky like Sunt, which crosses the sky nine times in one night” but the meaning of Sunt is undeciphered).

This refers to the great speed of  the solid core, which dropped into an eccentric orbit, rapidly circling the Earth, and zooming over the Sahara at low altitude. Meanwhile, the outer shell drifted slowly toward the west toward Egypt and away from the Earth. The solid core was the Egyptian deity Hathor, who zoomed so low that its heat killed many men in the desert. It was also the Roman deity Mercury, a messenger of the gods who is renowned for his great speed.

His destination is the Aten, the Winged Disk, which is also called the Imperishable Star.

Here the Egyptians have exercised some ‘poetic license’, now referring to the outer shell of priori-Mars, from which the solid core has just been ejected, as the Aten, a name given to priori-Mars during the Amarna period by Pharaoh Akhenaten (see a previous post). This planet was also called Ra, Horus, the Firmament, Heaven, The Imperishable Star and Canopus Ponderosus.

Ra of the Aten
Thy son has come to thee;
Pepi comes to thee;
Let him ascend to thee;
Enfold him in thy embrace.

The king – “on his way to Heaven, on the wind” advances in Heaven, he cleaves its firmament,”

The celestial journey is to last eight days: “When the hour of the morrow comes, the hour of the eighth day the king will be summoned by Ra… Ra himself shall await the king on the Imperishable Star. … He who knows the place comes, say the gods” There at the gates of the Double Palace, Ra is indeed awaiting the king . “Ra has taken the king to himself, to Heaven, on the Eastern side of Heaven … the king is on that star which radiates in Heaven.” In the company of “Horus of the Duat” described as “the great green divine falcon.”

Thus the core, which just left priori-Mars, zoomed around the Earth to the East and caught up with the outer shell of the planet eight days later as the two drifted away from the Earth, the enormous gap out of which it exited was still wide open i.e. firmament cleaved. The reference to Horus as the great green divine falcon emphasizes that prioi-Mars was a living planet at the beginning of the Cyclic Catastrophism and only gradually became decimated over three thousand years as it lost its water and atmosphere to the Earth.

Upon the hundredth encounter with the Earth, the solid core and the outer shell failed to recombine and the solid core interacted with proto-Venus for several hundred years until it, Mercury, and Venus entered their current orbits.  At the same time, the outer shell collapsed in on itself and drifted out to become the ‘planet’ Mars.  Thus the very scheme used to interrupt priori-Mars’ orbits of the Earth provided the means for the disposal of the debris once its purpose, the rejuvenation of the earth, via its oceans and atmosphere, was completed.

(1 Cor 2: 6-7) We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or the rules of this age [the standard model] who are coming to nought. No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.

First image of 'Storm', Dec 5, 2010

On December 5, 2010 the NASA Cassini probe caught this image of a new ‘storm’ in the northern hemisphere of Saturn, estimated to be 1,800 km east-to-west and 1,300 km north-to-south at that date.

Saturn (and Jupiter) are thought to be gaseous planets, therefore any disturbance at their surfaces is currently imagined to be a ‘storm’.  This hypothesis  was expressed in 1981 by Lissauer and Stevenson:  ” …   H [hydrogen] and He [helium] must make up the bulk of Jupiter and Saturn because no other elements can have such low densities at plausible temperatures … “.  Amazingly, this remains the accepted assumption of the entire planetary science community to this day!

Enormous Rocky-Iron Core?

Assuming a purely hydrogen planet allowed the construction of a quantum mechanical model of Jupiter, which failed to produce the correct gravitational moments, so a mere ten-to-twenty earth-mass solid rocky-iron core was arbitrarily added.  What is never mentioned is the fact that this violates the very assumption, quoted above, on which the gaseous hypothesis was based – that if heavier elements were present those in the core would be crushed to such high densities that the measured gravitational moments would not be satisfied.  This modified model requires that huge solid cores had to form quickly enough to capture the great volumes of hydrogen present in the nascent solar system, however observations of other systems have shown that the bulk of the hydrogen is lost in the first million years of a system’s existence, essentially invalidating the model.  Implied in this statement ” … at plausible temperatures … ” is the assumption that the measured temperature excesses, i.e. over and above the temperature due to solar radiation, of both the ‘gas giants’ arises from their deep interiors, leading to theoretical temperatures of 10,000 to 25,000 K there.

Superconducting Hydrogen

The QM model also ‘predicted’ that a special form of superconducting hydrogen would exist out to about 70% of the radius of the ‘gas giants’.   Unfortunately, several decades of research have failed to produce this exotic state of hydrogen in the laboratory.  When queried about the internal makeup of the gaseous planets, scientists say “first we have to determine the equation of state of the hydrogen”, but they never have been able to do this.  This is just one more clue that standard model is incorrect.

‘Storm’ an Atmospheric High?

Saturn "storm' after six months

More mundane problems exist in connection with the ‘storms’ on Saturn (and Jupiter GRS):  (a) They are atmospheric highs, not lows as on Earth and (b) they start almost as a tiny spot (Figure 1) and quickly expand around the planet (Figure 2, two images one day apart), remaining at the same latitude, whereas on Earth storms begin diffuse, become more concentrated with time, and rapidly move toward the poles.

Sudden Appearance

It is obvious that the ‘storm’  imaged on Saturn is an impact on a solid planetary surface below the visible clouds.  NASA scientists have remarked at the sudden appearance of the Great White Spots (a number have been observed).  In fact, the hot gases from the many-megaton impact explosions rise and expand quickly.  By the time they extend above the normal cloud deck they are cool, and form an atmospheric high.  The turbulent gases released swirl  around the planet at the latitude of the impact due to the zonal wind band, but the primary feature remains at the same latitude and longitude because the nuclear fusion conflagration in the crater is fixed on the solid surface of the planet.  Moreover, the heat generated by this nuclear fire is diffused throughout the entire thick atmosphere, giving the illusion that the high temperature originates in the interior.

Saturn’s Rotation Rate

The NASA Cassini scientists have expended considerable effort to determine the true rotation rate of Saturn.  Because only clouds can normally be viewed, this effort has concentrated on its magnetic field, but variations from secondary sources has complicated the analysis.  The simple method would be to measure the rotation rate of the impact spot when it was first spotted and was still small.

Rings and Satellites are Water Ice

Saturn’s rings lie close to the planet, almost entirely within the Roche Limit.  They are acknowledged to be primarily water, as are its ~200 natural satellites.  The currently accepted assumption that the planet is primarily hydrogen and helium makes the presence of so much water close by very difficult to explain.  One hypothesis is that two comets collided very close to the planet,  another that the rings consist of particles knocked off one of the satellites.  The truth is that impacts, such as the one pictured above each blast water into space which eventually settles in the rings.  This is due to the composition of the solid surface, methane gas hydrate, which is primarily water in its natural state at high pressure and low temperatue in the presence of lots of methane.  It is the equation of state of methane gas hydrates that should be determined.

Wake Up!

For decades planetary science has conformed to the ‘Gas Giant’ dogma, resulting in a complete failure to understand the cosmogony and makeup of every planet in the solar system.  In spite of the many problems in current interpretations of the solar system data, billions are spent indoctrinating the next generation with their false ideas on TV.  The NASA engineering feats  have been magnificent and the data collected, such as the Cassini images, is all valid, but the science is severely flawed.  All data is interpreted in conformation with the standard model and any data that cannot be made to conform is labelled ‘bad’ and discarded.  Now we are told that we will learn more by studying exo-planets.  Get real – understand our own system first, or you will never comprehend what is millions of light years distant.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.  We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

The definitive molecular absorption spectra of FeH (iron hydride) in the umbra (the dark central area) of sunspots was originally pointed out by Wing et al way back in 1977 ( thanks Ronnie).  The spectrum consists of bands with many (332) lines and are so clear that their Zeeman splitting has been used, along with that of OH (from water), to measure the magnetic field strength within sunspots.  Unfortunately, astronomers cannot explain why these obviously large amounts of iron and water are always found, and only found, within sunspots but not in the spectra of the unperturbed solar surface.

Cyclic Catastrophism

As pointed out in previous posts, the answer lies in the cyclic catastrophism scenario, which contradicts  the ‘standard model’ of the solar system in many ways.   First, that proto-Venus was created only 6,000 years ago by an energetic impact on Jupiter.   Second, that all terrestrial planets were created by the same catastrophic process and consequently that each has a unique age.  Third, this means that Jupiter is a solid planet in which are stored all the heavy elements required to form terrestrial planets.

Jupiter’s Composition

The obvious material for its solid body is methane gas hydrate, which has actually been suggested by some astronomers as the material that comprises some of the smaller objects in the outer solar system.  Gas hydrates are primarily water in cage-like molecular structures which only form in the presence of lots of methane, the molecules of which must be encapsulated within the cages.  But these same cages also hold all the heavy elements, including iron, most of which were captured within Jupiter when the giant planets formed.

Nuclear Explosions on Jupiter

The impacts on Jupiter from which the terrestrial planets formed were enormously enhanced because they triggered hydrogen fusion explosions of a magnitude far beyond anything ever imagined by human beings.  Because methane gas hydrates are primarily water, there is an unlimited supply of H and D (deuterium), the fuel for thermonuclear explosions.  The plasma explosion which resulted from the Venus-forming impact was so enormous, that its shape was described in the Vedas as that of an elephant.  Moreover,  the gravitational radiation produced by the impact actually caused the entire Earth to  ’groan’.

Great Jet Formed Main Belt Asteroids

Drawing of Jupiter with Jet circa 1200 AD

In the aftermath of the ejection of proto-Venus a great jet shot some 2 million km from Jupiter out of the crater, which only slowly diminished over the next 6,000 years,  a drawing of which is found in an Arabic document dated 1200 AD.  This jet, which comprised all the elements which make up Jupiter, primarily water, and also lesser amounts of all the heavy elements, most notably iron,  condensed and combined in the cold weightlessness of space, to form hydrated, cinder-like, low density bodies.  These formed the Galilean moons and all the main belt asteroids.  Because they froze while still within the magnetic field of Jupiter, the iron within them formed permanent magnetic fields.  Both the low density and magnetic fields of a couple of main belt asteroids have actually been measured by close passes of NASA probes.

The main belt asteroids were shot in all directions as Jupiter rotated (spun) within the last 6,000 years, and therefore still have a large range of inclinations, primarily because the crater from which they originated is at about 22 degrees south latitude.  However, those ejected in the opposite direction from Jupiter’s orbital velocity dropped into highly eccentric orbits which, as they gradually decay, are still impacting the Sun in modern times, causing sunspots.   (One such asteroid, called ‘comet’ Lovejoy W3 was photographed on Dec. 15, 2011 as it passed only 140,00 km from the Sun’s surface and survived [see link at top of this post].  Astronomers have found a number of such ‘comets’ and call them Kreutz ‘sungrazers’.  Next time around Lovejoy W3 will probably hit the Sun and produce an enormous sunspot).  In addition to evidence I have cited previously e.g. the 3000 km/s downward velocity of material in sunspots, the detection of large amounts of water in them, and their reversing of the magnetic field of the Sun at the sunspot maximums,  we also have the acknowleged presence of iron, in the form of FeH, found in every sunspot and not in the normal undisturbed solar surface.

Sunspot Period a Result of Jupiter’s Period 

The 11-year sunspot period is obviously due to the 11 year orbital period of Jupiter itself – its inclination, obliquity (axial tilt), eccentricity and the fact that the jet, still marked by the Great Red Spot, was oriented at about 22 degrees south latitude.  As a result, the asteroids formed by the Jet have  unusually high inclinations – up to 30 degrees.  This is particularly important for those with very eccentric orbits which eventually produce sunspots, because they pass through the entire inner solar system innumerable times before hitting the Sun.  If their orbits were not highly inclined they would pose a serious threat to the Earth.

This safety factor is just another facet of the omniscience of the greatest architect.

Image of Mercury superimposed on Mars

Cyclic Catastrophism explains that Mars, a  planet full of water, vegetation and life some 6,000 years ago, was ejected by the rampaging proto-Venus from its warm ancient orbit into one which crossed that of the Earth.  It was then  repeatedly captured in geostationary orbit over Mt. Kailas in Tibet every 30 years from 2700 to 687 BC and subsequently released into a planetary orbit for a comparable time.  The captures all occurred with the planet intact.

Mars’ Captures

As it approached the Earth its tidal force ‘latched onto’ the raised mass of the Tibetan-Himilayan complex,  causing the mantle and crust of the Eath to change its spin axis to Hudson Bay.  This provided the ‘sink’ which absorbed the planet’s excess energy, making capture possible.

Previous close encounters with the rampaging proto-Venus had greatly distorted the shape of Mars, described in the Vedas as ‘Indra was an ugly child’.  It was also called the ‘dog star’ (nothing to do with Sirius), the ‘snout’ of which (the Egyptian deity Anubis) was the greatly distended Tharsis Bulge.  This mass anomaly caused Mars’ outer shell (crust and mantle) to rotate (spin) so that its north pole remained pointing toward the Earth for the entire duration of each encounter – fifteen years.  This orientation, combined with its close proximity, only 34,000 km surface-to-surface, resulted in the immediate attraction of all the water in its northern hemisphere to its north pole. evidence of which has led to its ‘modern’ name ‘Oceanus Borealis’.  More slowly, the enormous tidal force of the Earth caused melting of massive quantities of Martian subsurface rock, which eventually rose above the ocean at its north pole.  As the encounter progressed, magma shot higher and higher from the center of this ‘island’ into the ‘air’, eventually forming the most unique and impressive feature on the surface of Mars – a giant column of intertwined vertical lava tubes which extended some 2,300 km down toward the Earth, spouting smoke and fire.  This was the single most worshiped (feared) deity in the pantheon of every eastern culture (Prajapati, Purusha, Brahma, Osiris, Zeus, Atlas, Yggdrasil (the world tree), ‘the column of smoke and fire’, ‘djed pillar’, axis mundi).  It’s appearance is best depicted in the bas-relief of Akhenaten worshiping Aten.

Mars’ Deconstructions

As Mars revolved about the Earth it would pass rapidly through alignments with the Moon or worst yet with the Sun and Moon combined.  These aligments caused enormous convulsions within Mars, primarily in its northern hemisphere because it remained facing the Earth during each encounter.  As a result, enormous hot rock bodies, some Mt. Everest-sized, were ejected into space, producing all the near-earth asteroids, short period comets, meteorites and meteor showers, some of which remain in orbits close to the Earth to this day.  These repeated convulsions gradually weakened Mars, setting the stage for its next escape from the Earth.  However, in order to leave this orbit at the end of fifteen years, a number of additional physical events had to occur.  The most easily understandable ones were its near alignments with the Sun and Moon combined which always occurred at the vernal (spring) equinox.  This was the date of every separation of the core and reason for the fear of eclipses in all ancient culture.  At the same date, every thirty years, Venus, then in an eccentric orbit swung out closest to the Earth, when its inferior conjunction and aphelion coincided.  Thus its tidal force was added to that of the Sun and Moon.  But even these combined forces could not alone cause the planet to escape Earth orbit.  The ancient texts reveal even more radical events,  which modern astrophysicists, or even science fiction writers, have never  imagined.

Mars’ Escapes

Believe it or not, the essential process in each Mars escape was that its solid core had to temporarily exit the planet!  Ancient texts describe this in a number of ways, but Egyptian texts are the most lucid.  During each encounter Mars was in a geostationary orbit over the Himalayas, the Egyptian texts explain that the solid core exited Mars and dropped into a lower orbit,  zooming around the Earth toward the East, while the outer shell (with a big hole in it) drifted to the west over the Middle East (This was the origin of the Jewish Passover.), moving slowly away from the Earth.   The two parts rejoined eight days later as they left the Earth piggy-back and entered a planetary orbit, where Mars reformed for the next fifteen years.  This exodus featured great storms, thundering, earthquakes, a shift of some 30 degrees inthe spin axis of the Earth and a major readjustment of the ocean levels around the world.  Amazingly, this occurred one-hundred times – every thirty years, between 3700 and 687 BC.  As a result of this timing, each generation of mankind, in every eastern culture, witnessed these world-shaking events, ensuring their accurate rendition in ancient texts.  These events would have completely destroyed the vast infrastructure that exists today.

The Ejection of Mars’ Solid Iron Core

Solid Core launch as imagined by Egyptians

The Egyptians narrate these cosmic events in terms of the ascent of pharaoh Pepi’s soul  ’to the gods’.  His soul first ascends to the duat, the island at the north pole of Mars, with the aid of a ‘rope ladder’ lowered from the planet.  This was the column of smke and fire, the djed pillar, which had four horizontal layers near the top (the four heads of Brahma  in the Vedas), which were imagined to be its rungs.  He then descends into the interior through the vent out of which the column originated, imagined to be the entrance into the Amenta, the ‘underworld’.  This was necessary because he then had to mount the solid core which left through the Valles Marineris which was on the equator of Mars.  The engineering minds of the Egyptians depict the ‘double doors’ that opened to allow the ‘boat of Ra‘ (the solid core) to exit the planet, and carry the soul of Pepi ‘to the gods’.  The figure above is from the “papyrus of Queen Nejmet”.  The ‘Red Eye of Horus‘ at the right is waiting to be ejected by the two divine ‘cord holders’, perhaps powered by the two omphalos.  The pharaoh’s soul is seen standing on the Red Eye with his title spelled out by the beetle hieroglyph.  A number of underworld gods are attending the ‘launch’ of the solid core.  The text then describes the ‘eye’ zooming around the Earth to the East ‘like a falcon’ while the outer shell moved slowly to the west and drifted away from the Earth.  the two parts of Mars are described rejoined eight days later on the way to becoming an ‘imperishable star’.  The rejoining is described as Pepi, imagined piloting the solid core, ‘he cleaves its firmament’ which was Mars, ‘on the eastern side of heaven’ (Mars outer shell).

It only remains to explain he physical details of the last step in the ejection of the solid core.  The continual flow of magma into this fragile hardened lava structure, which collapsed frequently due to Mars’ interior convulsions, combined with the hot rock bodies which were ejected through the volcanic vent from which it originated, eventually created a ‘hole’ through which some of the outer core itself was drawn to the surface.  This is reminiscent of ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’.   The island, or duat, at the north pole from which this feature rose, was surrounded by the tidal ocean,  which had formed at the beginning of each encounter.

At the end of each encounter the combined tidal forces of the Sun, Moon and Venus caused the northern ocean to overflow this island which had been present since early in each encounter.  How could this be?  All three were located on the opposite side of Mars.  Remember an earlier post concerning tidal forces?  It acts oppositely on the near and far hemispheres of a planet.  A ‘pulling’ effect acts on the near side, called a direct tide, but a ‘pushing’ effect, called an indirect tide, operates on the far side, causing a ‘bulge’ there also.  Therefore, the ocean on the side of Mars facing the Earth were ‘pushed’ higher by the combined tidal effect of the Sun, Moon and nearby Venus, causing it to overflow the vent from which the hardened lava column originated.  Thus the ocean gushed into the vent all the way into the liquid core of Mars, which had been partially evacuated by the long term tidal effect of the Earth.  The steam pressure which flashed when the water encountered the great temperature and heat within the outer core forced the solid core out of the side of the planet through the enormous fault called the Valles Marineris.  When the core first appeared, it was seen as a single ‘eye’ protruding through the surface, but as it continued outward it was seen as a separate body, Hathor, in Egyptian myth.

Mercury is Finally Manifest

Whirlpool at Mars' North Pole

Evidence of the final flow of the northern ocean into this vent is present in the shape of the north polar cap on Mars today.  It is obviously a whirlpool draining into the north polar vent.  At the end of the last encounter of Mars with the Earth the solid iron core failed to reunite with the outer shell as it had ninety-nine times previously.  It apparently was deflected by the Moon, since the length of the month changed from 36 to 28 days at that date, about 687 BC.  The solid iron core, called Mercury in Roman myth, then interacted with Venus for several hundred years, as evidenced in the date of figure below, until they

Venus and Mercury Cavorting, circa 4th Century BC

settled into their current orbits.  In order that orbital angular momentum and energy be conserved Mars had to move outward in the solar system, while slowly collapsing in on its vacant interior, to form the diminutive ‘planet’ we call Mars.  It is now a dead planet, because, as a result of the one-hundred encounters, it lost all of its water and  atmosphere to the Earth.  Moreover, it lost its internal magnetic field, which originates in a planet’s solid core, as evidenced by the magnetic field measured still surrounding Mercury.  Now that we understand its recent history, I suggest the far-fetched notion of mankind’s ‘greening of Mars’ should be finally put to rest.

One such distortion arose from the description of Brahma creating a beautiful ‘child’ Sarasvati and subsequently falling in love with her and taking her as his wife.  Possibly, this ‘beautiful creature’ was a large tornado that arose in the northern hemisphere of priori-Mars, near the hardened lava column, swirling and dancing around it.  Since the Hindus no longer understood the physical nature of the event, they took the actions of Brahma as incestuous, and even declared, by a variety of creative myths, that the other two primary deities, Vishnu and Siva, had also condemned Brahma.

This resulted in the original characteristics and supposed actions of Brahma being attributed to Vishnu or Siva, while the propitiation of Brahma lessened with each stage of Hindu myths, the classics, Puranas, and Upanishads.  Today there are relatively few temples devoted to Brahma.  The column of smoke and fire, which was originally Purusha, Prajapati then Brahma,  was at one time also described as a lotus that grew from the navel of Vishnu.  Now it has been relegated to the status of  Siva’s lingam (phallus).  This  characterization of the feature at the north pole of priori-Mars was perfectly natural in ancient times, as can be seen in the  bas-releif of Akhenaten worshiping Aten in a previous post.

Siva's lingam with four 'heads'

Siva’s lingam is commonly depicted as an unadorned stone column or upright, egg-shaped, polished stone, the latter being consistent with the fact that each manifestation of Brahma originated in the glowing ‘mundane egg’ in the northern ocean of priori-Mars.  However, there are some very different depictions of Siva’s lingam, as shown in the Figure at the left, in which the feature originally known as Brahma, is depicted as Siva’s lingam.  Truly religious Hindus are offended by attacks on their religion by the Muslim population, who only see the licentious implications of such art.

In spite of the apparent demotion of Brahma, it appears that the lingam has four protrusions at the end, which harken back to the ‘four heads of Brahma‘ – a very common attribute of the deity.  In one Hindu myth, these four heads were even imagined to be discussing the four books of the Rig Veda with one another.

Figure 1 Homestake

The magnificent Mars Opportunity Rover has discovered something really new at a location designated ‘Homestake’.   This is currently described as a ‘vein’, which is very bright in contrast to the surrounding rock. Quoting from the November 2011 Rover Update referring to chief scientist Steve Sqyres:

“While Squyres, not surprisingly, wouldn’t “hazard a guess” as to what they may find in that vein, he did say this: “These are different than anything from anything we’ve ever seen with either rover, a completely new thing on Mars, never seen anywhere. And we’re pretty charged up about it.””

NASA is noncommital, but the conjecture in related forums is that it is a layer of magnesite, which forms by carbonization of olivine or magnesium serpentine in the presence of water and carbon dioxide.  This would probably satisfy Squires and the entire planetary science ‘community’ by not violating their current ideas about Mars.  But what if it is something else?

Petrification of wood occurs when the wood soaks over a period of time  in ground water containing various minerals.  The atoms in the wood are replaced one-by-one with those of quartz, forming a crystalline (SiO2) material, the atoms of which form a perfect replica of the original structure except that its coloration is dictated by the minerals present.  Yellow, the color of the Homestake formation, can be formed by the presence of iron which is omnipresent on the surface of Mars. The crystal quartz is very hard and would explain its structural integrity as compared to the  surrounding rock.  Opportunity’s microscopic imager took the photomosaic shown in Figure 2. The fine structure resembles that of a root to my untrained eye.

Petrification can occur very rapidly, even in a hundred years, but some on Earth are thought to be quite old.  Logs found in Petrified Forest National Park are dated at 160 million years.  If this proves to be a petrified root, you can be sure that the scientific community will claim that it is billions of years old.  In fact, if it is so proved, the entire incident will probably be covered up because it violates of the currently accepted ‘Standard Model’ and would be an unacceptable  embarrassment.

Regardless of the age of such a petrified root, the very existence of trees would prove that Mars was not always out in the freezing, lifeless part of the solar system.   Sorry, but the usual excuse, i.e. ‘greenhouse gases’ just doesn’t cut it out there.  I have been waiting for one of the rovers to find roots, because the entire southern hemisphere of the planet was covered with vegetation 6,000 years ago.  The Egyptians called it ‘the great green (body)’ and it is artistically shown by the deity Anubis (Mars during the cyclic catastrophism), the back of who’s head is painted green.   All vegetation was gradually lost between 3700 and 700 BC as its water, atmosphere and innumerable seeds in the manna or Soma were transferred to the Earth by thousands of  convulsions within the ‘Red Planet’. These covered the entire surface with rocks and red dust, originally in the form of tiny iron spheres (condrules) shot from every volcano on the planet.  Dust storms continue to recover the surface to this day and ultraviolet and particulate radiation has long since destroyed all organic material on the surface due to the lack of any protective atmosphere and magnetic field.  It’s a shame that the rovers were not given larger ‘shovels’.

Time is on my side.

The important fact here is that Mars is some 800 million years older than the Earth and at the date of Venus’ creation (~3700 BC) was a living planet with oceans, atmosphere, vegetation and intelligent life.  Life was the result of its orbital position, which was similar to that of Venus today, i.e. closer to the Sun than the Earth.

Whether by chance or by intent of the intelligent species on priori-Mars, Venus was created and before it settled down into its current orbit it passed close to, and actually overturned the Earth (the rigid outer layer) twice causing the oceans to overflow most of the continents, killing 99.99 percent of the sub-human hominid species that existed in all parts of the world at that time.  The bones of those species are thought to be pre-human by paleontologists, but were sub-human, even though they could weave cloth, smelt copper and may have had a crude form of language.

Proto-Venus also ejected priori-Mars from its ancient orbit into one that intersected the orbit of the Earth, initiating the sequence of captures and releases which are the foundation of my Cyclic Catastrophism.  During each fifteen-year encounter with the Earth, priori-Mars was only some 35,000 km from the surface of the Earth, so it was an easy matter for the advanced civilization on that more ancient planet to come to the Earth.

When priori-Mars was captured in geosynchronous orbit, the first thing that happened was that the water in its northern hemisphere, which remained facing the Earth, was drawn toward its north pole.  Eventually the tidal force of the Earth drew molten rock up through the northern ocean, the remnants of which are now called the ‘Oceanus Borealis’, and land appeared.  Thus the Bible states that “God created the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament … And God called the firmament Heaven.”  Thus God came down from heaven. This land at the north pole of priori-Mars was sacred in all ancient cultures, e.g. the Egyptian ‘duat’, that place to which the souls of the deceased traveled.

The Bible then states “And God said, Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness” and let them have dominion over all the animals.  The word for God used in this passage is ‘elohiym‘, which is plural, consistent with the pronoun “us”, which has always been a mystery to Christians, in spite of the primary message of Jesus Christ, which was about the ‘Kingdom of Heaven’.  Going further, “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”

I believe that this means the elohiym went to all parts of the Earth, found the few sub-human survivors of the proto-Venus destructions and upgraded their DNA to endow mankind with real conceptual intelligence, language and an understanding of science, architecture and art, creating a species that might never have ‘evolved’.  This knowledge became manifest in the sudden, miraculous development of the great civilizations of the Indus Valley, Mespotamia and Egypt in the fourth millenium BC.

Each ancient culture had a special deity which was said to have taught the new species, homo sapiens sapiens, all these things, such as the Rig-Vedic Vach (language) and the Egyptian Thoth and Ptah, about which is written:  ”It was said that Ptah created the great metal plate that was the floor of heaven and the roof of the sky.  He also constructed the supports that held it up. Some creation legends say that by speaking the names of all things, Ptahcaused them to be,”  reflecting the Biblical  ”In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word … The same was in the beginning with God.”  The “great metal plate” is obviously a reference to the Biblical firmament, which was priori-Mars – the Hebrew name for which, raqiya, denotes a solid metal dome over the Earth, but in actuality was a solid inverted dome above the Earth.  These special deities were actually different cultures’ concepts of the Biblical elohiym, who not only ‘created’ man but acted as teachers for the newly created Adam.

In the Rig Veda, Indra (actually the planet priori-Mars) was credited with introducing language:  ”Speech was originally confused, unvaried like the roar of the sea and undistinguished, without articulation to denote crude {primitive}, inflections, words and sentences.  Then Indra, being solicited by the gods … divided in the middle speech, which had previously been without division, and introduced everywhere the distinction of crude forms, inflections etc.  In consequence, this Speech (Vach), being now distinguished in its parts … is pronounced by all men.”

What happened to our progenitors?  I believe they remain on Earth, and although they could mix with human beings because they look exactly like us, they remain apart in remote locations, such as the bottom of the ocean or in remote mountains, like the Himalayas, to avoid the moral pollution that our culture exudes.  They continue to fly their ‘ships’ with impunity wherever they wish.  I imagine they are not too happy with the species they created, the nature of which was prophecied in 2Peter 3:5-7:

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water anbd in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.  But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgement and perdition of ungodly men.

UFO 'Beamship'

This article is a little break from my usual Cyclic Catastrophism.  Several sightings reveal that UFO’s incorporate a slowly revolving, glowing toroid with four thick glowing spokes.  Many more observations point to a ship which generates a powerful magnetic dipole field that interacts with the ambient magnetic field of the earth.  Assuming the toroid houses a superconducting electric current, a simple calculation yields that the current required to suspend a modest UFO is enormous > 10^13 amps.  This value assumes that the lift results from the force difference generated by the north and south poles of the vehicle, which are of equal and opposite strength, with the difference in the ambient (Earth) magnetic field just above and below the vehicle, which is very small.  However, if the rotating toroid and its spokes are superconductors, the magnetic field ‘lines’ would be trapped in each quadrant of the toroid and become twisted together, like a braid, thereby extending the effective vehicle north and south poles into areas farther above and below the vehicle, where the ambient field strength would have a greater difference.  At low altitudes the lower vehicle pole could even extend into the Earth. In this design the rotating toroid would also provide gyroscopic stability, and although still inherently unstable – ‘their’ fly-by-wire system would be a lot better than those used in F-16, F-18 and F-22.

The presence of a strong magnetic field was indicated in the Wanaque NJ reservoir sighting when a UFO disk moved horizontally across the water at low altitude.  The water just beneath it was observed rising up in a mound which followed the craft.  This can be understood by the (Maxwells Equations) fact that a moving magnetic field creates an electric field in the stationary (reservoir) frame, and it is well known that dielectric material is drawn into areas of more intense electric field, which would be upward, closer to the vehicle.

UFO Emitting cloaking gasas

In spite of ‘gummint’ attempts to discredit him, the photographs and moving pictures obtained by the one-armed Swiss farmer Eduard ‘Willie’ Meier, are the best I know of (although some of his ideas are questionable).  In one motion picture, the UFO approaches relatively close to ‘pose’ for his camera and in doing so inadvertently reveals the method of invisibility cloaking used by this particular ship.  Meier say this was the older style ship, which had a noticeable series of ports around the edge.  Although the UFO people allowed him to film the vehicle’s approach, cars passing by and his friends nearby could not see it.  The giveaway was that occasionally a port pointing off to the side of the camera would ‘light up’ for a second.   Obviously, this cloaking system consists of light sensors spaced around, above and below the vehicle.  The spectrum of the light detected, say, coming from the north, is then replicated by a flourescent gas mixture which is periodically ejected from the southern facing port. The gas spreads out to form a ‘screen’ the same color as the background, thereby making the vehicle invisible.  This cloaking depends on the UFOs ability to hover without generating any appreciable air circulation.

An interesting anecdote occurred when a woman at an airport in Switzerland took a Polaroid photograph.  She saw no UFO, but the photo showed a UFO surrounded by a reddish ‘cloud’.   The story was that a Swiss military aircraft was in the area, and the UFO was cloaking itself at the time the photo was taken.  The obvious explanation was that the flourescent gas emissions were designed for the human eye’s spectral sensitivity, whereas the spectral sensitivity of the Polaroid film was sufficiently different to cut through the cloak.  Meier claimed that he told the UFO people about the Polaroid problem and they thanked him and said they would fix it.

The attraction of dielectric material into areas of intense electric fields may also explain how the UFO occupants can withstand the high-G accelerations sometimes reported by pursuing pilots.  The magnetic field of the vehicles is very intense in the ‘cabin’ and may even be ‘focused’ on the occupants.  In a rapid maneuver their bodies would suddenly be moved perpendicular to the field, creating an electric field as seen by the body.  The body would quickly be restrained as it moved toward the less concentrated magnetic field.  The important difference between this and our restraint methods, which are based on external straps, is that our organs are not restrained but crash against the exterior straps, causing internal damage.  The UFO the electric field restraint acts on every cubic inch within their bodies and no deadly relative motion of the organs results.

Mr. Meier claims to have been taken on one of the scout ships shown above to a ‘great spacer’, in which the UFO people demonstrated their ‘warp-drive’.  He states a couple of interesting things.  First the ship must reach its maximum velocity with the conventional, magnetic field, drive before ‘jumping’.  Second, that to reach their destination they require a couple of separate ‘jumps’.  Perhaps this is just to ensure they are jumping from voids into voids.  They would not reveal the mechanism, but said it is not difficult once you approach the velocity of light.  They did say that some of their people had ‘been lost’ early in the warp development.  I have often wondered that the execution of a warp jump might cause a ‘gamma-ray burst’.

There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy, Horatio.     William Shakespeare

Aten is currently thought to be the Sun.  But all Egyptians of his time knew Aten was not the Sun, just as they knew Ra (or Re), an associated deity, was not the Sun.  Egyptologists, indeed all humanists, have been led astray by the uniformitarianism of the ‘hard sciences’, which does not admit to the presence of other large bodies near the Earth in recent millennia.  But the primary source of all Egyptian deities and those of all ancient cultures, was the planet Mars, which repeatedly orbited the Earth for 3,000 years.  This was the Aten.

Akhenaten worshiping Aten

The greatest repository of the true nature of these deities are the ancient texts, particularly Egyptian and Vedic.  But the art produced under the direction of Akhenaten gives what is even better than any photograph of Mars that could have been produced in ancient times.  There are not just one or two, but a number of bas reliefs which depict Aten in three dimensions, making clear that it was not a disk like the Sun, but a ‘world’.

Moreover, in each case this world sports the most amazing feature, which was the primary deity in most ancient cultures, an enormous flaming column of hardened lava tubes which extended down toward the Earth some 2300 kilometers.  This was the ‘djed pillar‘ or ‘tet‘ hieroglyth, but was primarily Osiris and in other cultures Prajapati, Purusha, Brahma, Zeus, and the ‘column of smoke and fire.’  It rose up at the north pole of Mars which remained facing the Earth during each fifteen-year orbiting encounter.  Because Mars orbited over the Himalayas, the Egyptians had an ‘off-center’ view, which is accurately depicted in the art of the Akhenaten period.

The reliefs of Aten show life-giving rays descending toward the Earth, which are currently thought to be rays of sunlight, but they are meant to depict the multiple blessings from Mars, which Akhenaten recognized. Although  these included reflected light, since Mars was 500  times the area of the Moon and almost nine times closer, but also all the oceans and atmosphere on Mars which gradually descended to the Earth along with the seeds of tens of thousands of Martian plants incorporated in the manna (Jewish), Soma (Vedic), ambrosia (Greek), haoma (Persian) which obviously fell around the world and were not a figment of the imagination of all these cultures.  The ‘rays’ have what appear to be leaves at their ends.  The modern explanation of Soma is that it was the juice squeezed from a particular plant and fermented, but this was merely an attempt of the ancients to reproduce the Soma, once it ceased to fall.

The hardened lava column possessed several additional imagined attributes in a number of cultures.  Because Mars was in a geostationary orbit, it remained stationary in the heavens, although it rotated about its north pole, like a wheel.  In its position, pointing down toward the Earth, it was imagined to be a deity that held up the world, i.e. kept the world (Mars) from falling to the Earth.  This was Atlas of Greek myth and Shu (the upholder) of Egyptian myth.  It was also imagined to be the axis mundi, the axis of the worlds, that joined Mars and the Earth.  We owe Akhenaten appreciation for the art which he sponsored, which shows without any doubt the true nature of Aten – Mars, and its features when it orbited the Earth.
