			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_469" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/saturnstormstart1.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-469" title="SaturnStormStart" src="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/saturnstormstart1.jpg?w=150&#038;h=150" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">First image of &#039;Storm&#039;, Dec 5, 2010</p></div>
<p>On December 5, 2010 the NASA Cassini probe caught this image of a new &#8216;storm&#8217; 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.</p>
<p>Saturn (and Jupiter) are thought to be gaseous planets, therefore any disturbance at their surfaces is currently imagined to be a &#8216;storm&#8217;.  This hypothesis  was expressed in 1981 by Lissauer and Stevenson:  &#8221; &#8230;   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 &#8230; &#8220;.  Amazingly, this remains the accepted assumption of the entire planetary science community to this day!</p>
<p><strong>Enormous Rocky-Iron Core?</strong></p>
<p>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 <em>ten-to-twenty earth-mass</em> 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 &#8211; 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&#8217;s existence, essentially invalidating the model.  Implied in this statement &#8221; &#8230; at plausible temperatures &#8230; &#8221; is the assumption that the measured temperature excesses, i.e. over and above the temperature due to solar radiation, of both the &#8216;gas giants&#8217; arises from their deep interiors, leading to theoretical temperatures of 10,000 to 25,000 K there.</p>
<p><strong>Superconducting Hydrogen</strong></p>
<p>The QM model also &#8216;predicted&#8217; that a special form of superconducting hydrogen would exist out to about 70% of the radius of the &#8216;gas giants&#8217;.   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 &#8220;first we have to determine the equation of state of the hydrogen&#8221;, but they never have been able to do this.  This is just one more clue that standard model is incorrect.</p>
<p><strong>&#8216;Storm&#8217; an Atmospheric High?</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_472" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/saturnstorm-image.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-472" title="SaturnStorm image" src="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/saturnstorm-image.jpg?w=300&#038;h=75" alt="" width="300" height="75" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Saturn &quot;storm&#039; after six months</p></div>
<p>More mundane problems exist in connection with the &#8216;storms&#8217; on Saturn (and Jupiter GRS):  (a) They are atmospheric <em>highs</em>, 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.</p>
<p><strong>Sudden Appearance</strong></p>
<p>It is obvious that the &#8216;storm&#8217;  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.</p>
<p><strong>Saturn&#8217;s Rotation Rate</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Rings and Satellites are Water Ice</strong></p>
<p>Saturn&#8217;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 <em>primarily water</em> 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.</p>
<p><strong>Wake Up!</strong></p>
<p>For decades planetary science has conformed to the &#8216;Gas Giant&#8217; 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 <em>engineering feats</em>  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 &#8216;bad&#8217; and discarded.  Now we are told that we will learn more by studying exo-planets.  Get real &#8211; understand our own system first, or you will never comprehend what is millions of light years distant.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lovejoy-hi1a_srem_dec12_14.gif">Lovejoy W3 Grazing Sun</a></p>
<p>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 <em>always</em> found, and <em>only</em> found, within sunspots but not in the spectra of the unperturbed solar surface.</p>
<p><strong>Cyclic Catastrophism</strong></p>
<p>As pointed out in previous posts, the answer lies in the cyclic catastrophism scenario, which contradicts  the &#8216;standard model&#8217; 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 <em>solid</em> <em>planet</em> in which are stored all the heavy elements required to form terrestrial planets.</p>
<p><strong>Jupiter&#8217;s Composition</strong></p>
<p>The obvious material for its solid body is <em>methane</em> <em>gas</em> <em>hydrate</em>, 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.</p>
<p><strong>Nuclear Explosions on Jupiter</strong></p>
<p>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 <em>shape</em> was described in the Vedas as that of an elephant.  Moreover,  the gravitational radiation produced by the impact actually caused the entire Earth to  &#8217;groan&#8217;.</p>
<p><strong>Great Jet Formed Main Belt Asteroids</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_412" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 170px"><a href="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/arabjet.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-412" title="arabjet" src="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/arabjet.jpg?w=497" alt=""   /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Drawing of Jupiter with Jet circa 1200 AD</p></div>
<p>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 <em>main</em> <em>belt</em> <em>asteroids</em>.  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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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 &#8216;comet&#8217; Lovejoy W3 was photographed on Dec. 15, 2011 as it passed only 140,00 km from the Sun&#8217;s surface and survived [see link at top of this post].  Astronomers have found a number of such &#8216;comets&#8217; and call them Kreutz &#8216;sungrazers&#8217;.  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 <em>iron</em>, in the form of FeH, found in <em>every</em> sunspot and <em>not</em> in the normal undisturbed solar surface.</p>
<p><strong>Sunspot Period a Result of Jupiter&#8217;s Period </strong></p>
<p>The 11-year sunspot period is <em>obviously</em> due to the 11 year orbital period of Jupiter itself &#8211; 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 &#8211; 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.</p>
<p>This safety factor is just another facet of the omniscience of the greatest architect.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Mars&#8217; Captures</strong></p>
<p>As it approached the Earth its tidal force &#8216;latched onto&#8217; 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 &#8216;sink&#8217; which absorbed the planet&#8217;s excess energy, making capture possible.</p>
<p>Previous close encounters with the rampaging proto-Venus had greatly distorted the shape of Mars, described in the Vedas as &#8216;Indra was an ugly child&#8217;.  It was also called the &#8216;dog star&#8217; (nothing to do with Sirius), the &#8216;snout&#8217; of which (the Egyptian deity Anubis) was the greatly distended Tharsis Bulge.  This mass anomaly caused Mars&#8217; 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 &#8211; 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 &#8216;modern&#8217; name &#8216;Oceanus Borealis&#8217;.  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 &#8216;island&#8217; into the &#8216;air&#8217;, eventually forming the most unique and impressive feature on the surface of Mars &#8211; 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), &#8216;the column of smoke and fire&#8217;, &#8216;djed pillar&#8217;, axis mundi).  It&#8217;s appearance is best depicted in the bas-relief of Akhenaten worshiping <em>Aten</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Mars&#8217; Deconstructions</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Mars&#8217; Escapes</strong></p>
<p>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 <em>Passover</em>.), 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 &#8211; 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.</p>
<p><strong>The Ejection of Mars&#8217; Solid Iron Core</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_395" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/egyptian-coreof-mars.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-395" title="Egyptian Coreof Mars" src="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/egyptian-coreof-mars.jpg?w=300&#038;h=127" alt="" width="300" height="127" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Solid Core launch as imagined by Egyptians</p></div>
<p>The Egyptians narrate these cosmic events in terms of the ascent of pharaoh Pepi&#8217;s soul  &#8217;to the gods&#8217;.  His soul first ascends to the duat, the island at the north pole of Mars, with the aid of a &#8216;rope ladder&#8217; lowered from the planet.  This was the column of smke and fire, the <em>djed pillar</em>, 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 <em>Amenta</em>, the &#8216;underworld&#8217;.  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 &#8216;double doors&#8217; that opened to allow the &#8216;boat of <em>Ra</em>&#8216; (the solid core) to exit the planet, and carry the soul of Pepi &#8216;to the gods&#8217;.  The figure above is from the &#8220;papyrus of Queen Nejmet&#8221;.  The &#8216;Red Eye of <em>Horus</em>&#8216; at the right is waiting to be ejected by the two divine &#8216;cord holders&#8217;, perhaps powered by the two <em>omphalos</em>.  The pharaoh&#8217;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 &#8216;launch&#8217; of the solid core.  The text then describes the &#8216;eye&#8217; zooming around the Earth to the East &#8216;like a falcon&#8217; 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 &#8216;imperishable star&#8217;.  The rejoining is described as Pepi, imagined piloting the solid core, &#8216;he cleaves its firmament&#8217; which was Mars, &#8216;on the eastern side of heaven&#8217; (Mars outer shell).</p>
<p>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&#8217; interior convulsions, combined with the hot rock bodies which were ejected through the volcanic vent from which it originated, eventually created a &#8216;hole&#8217; through which some of the outer core itself was drawn to the surface.  This is reminiscent of &#8216;Journey to the Center of the Earth&#8217;.   The island, or <em>duat</em>, at the north pole from which this feature rose, was surrounded by the tidal ocean,  which had formed at the beginning of each encounter.</p>
<p>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 &#8216;pulling&#8217; effect acts on the near side, called a <em>direct tide</em>, but a &#8216;pushing&#8217; effect, called an <em>indirect tide</em>, operates on the far side, causing a &#8216;bulge&#8217; there also.  Therefore, the ocean on the side of Mars facing the Earth were &#8216;pushed&#8217; 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 &#8216;eye&#8217; protruding through the surface, but as it continued outward it was seen as a separate body, <em>Hathor</em>, in Egyptian myth.</p>
<p><strong>Mercury is Finally Manifest</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_397" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 204px"><a href="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/marsnorthernicecap.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-397" title="marsnorthernicecap" src="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/marsnorthernicecap.jpg?w=497" alt=""   /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Whirlpool at Mars&#039; North Pole</p></div>
<p>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 <em>Mercury</em> in Roman myth, then interacted with Venus for several hundred years, as evidenced in the date of figure below, until they</p>

<p>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 &#8216;planet&#8217; 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&#8217;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&#8217;s &#8216;greening of Mars&#8217; should be finally put to rest.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Originally <em>Brahma</em>, the &#8216;mighty pillar of fire&#8217; (jyotirlingam)&#8217; was the Vedic <em>Purusha</em> and <em>Prajapati</em>.  Several generations after the encounters of priori-Mars with the Earth ceased, the Hindus created a new pantheon, the primary deities of which were <em>Brahma</em>, <em>Vishnu</em> and <em>Siva</em> (the trimurti), all of which were aspects of priori-Mars.  But the actual physical events of cyclic catastrophism were no longer remembered and distortions of the deities and observed events accurately depicted in the Vedas became incorporated in the Hindu myths.</p>
<p>One such distortion arose from the description of <em>Brahma</em> creating a beautiful &#8216;child&#8217; <em>Sarasvati</em> and subsequently falling in love with her and taking her as his wife.  Possibly, this &#8216;beautiful creature&#8217; 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 <em>Brahma</em> as incestuous, and even declared, by a variety of creative myths, that the other two primary deities, <em>Vishnu</em> and <em>Siva</em>, had also condemned <em>Brahma</em>.</p>
<p>This resulted in the original characteristics and supposed actions of <em>Brahma</em> being attributed to <em>Vishnu</em> or <em>Siva</em>, while the propitiation of <em>Brahma</em> lessened with each stage of Hindu myths, the classics, Puranas, and Upanishads.  Today there are relatively few temples devoted to <em>Brahma</em>.  The column of smoke and fire, which was originally <em>Purusha</em>, <em>Prajapati</em> then <em>Brahma</em>,  was at one time also described as a lotus that grew from the navel of <em>Vishnu.  </em>Now it has been relegated to the status of  Siva&#8217;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 <em>Aten</em> in a previous post.</p>
<div id="attachment_382" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 107px"><a href="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/sivalingam.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-382" title="sivalingam" src="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/sivalingam.jpg?w=97&#038;h=300" alt="" width="97" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Siva&#039;s lingam with four &#039;heads&#039;</p></div>
<p><em>Siva&#8217;s</em> 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 <em>Brahma</em> originated in the glowing &#8216;mundane egg&#8217; in the northern ocean of priori-Mars.  However, there are some very different depictions of <em>Siva&#8217;s</em> lingam, as shown in the Figure at the left, in which the feature originally known as <em>Brahma</em>, is depicted as <em>Siva&#8217;s</em> lingam.  Truly religious Hindus are offended by attacks on their religion by the Muslim population, who only see the licentious implications of such art.</p>
<p>In spite of the apparent demotion of <em>Brahma</em>, it appears that the lingam has four protrusions at the end, which harken back to the &#8216;four heads of <em>Brahma</em>&#8216; &#8211; 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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_371" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/homestake.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-371" title="homestake" src="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/homestake.jpg?w=300&#038;h=142" alt="" width="300" height="142" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Figure 1 Homestake</p></div>
<p>The magnificent Mars Opportunity Rover has discovered something really new at a location designated &#8216;Homestake&#8217;.   This is currently described as a &#8216;vein&#8217;, which is very bright in contrast to the surrounding rock. Quoting from the November 2011 Rover Update referring to chief scientist Steve Sqyres:</p>
<p>“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 <a href="http://www.planetary.org/explore/topics/mars/">Mars</a>, never seen anywhere. And we’re pretty charged up about it.””</p>
<p>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 &#8216;community&#8217; by not violating their current ideas about Mars.  But what if it is something else?</p>
<p><strong>Petrified Wood</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_372" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/petrifiedroot1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-372" title="petrifiedroot1" src="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/petrifiedroot1.jpg?w=300&#038;h=173" alt="" width="300" height="173" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Figure 2. Close-up of Homestake</p></div>
<p>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&#8217;s microscopic imager took the photomosaic shown in Figure 2. The fine structure resembles that of a root to my untrained eye.</p>
<p>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 &#8216;Standard Model&#8217; and would be an unacceptable  embarrassment.</p>
<p>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. &#8216;greenhouse gases&#8217; just doesn&#8217;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 &#8216;the great green (body)&#8217; and it is artistically shown by the deity Anubis (Mars during the cyclic catastrophism), the back of who&#8217;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 &#8216;Red Planet&#8217;. 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&#8217;s a shame that the rovers were not given larger &#8216;shovels&#8217;.</p>
<p><strong>Time is on my side.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Proto-Venus condensed from an enormous plasma cloud ejected from an impact on Jupiter 6,000 years ago.  The Great Red Spot and temperature excess of Jupiter are the result of the gases still rising from that crater. This not only shows us how the terrestrial planets formed but also that each one has a unique age.   Because of many (100) fifteen year interactions of  priori-Mars with the Earth under the influence of alignments with the Moon and Sun, enormous masses of Martian rocks have been blasted throughout the inner solar system &#8211; on the Earth, Moon and into the solar atmosphere.  As a result, planetary scientists have concluded that the ages of the planets are all the same, i.e. 4.7 billion years.  But because no native (Earth) rocks have been found older than 3.9 billion years, geologists have invented an entire epoch, called the Hadean eon, which is actually based on the ages of former Martian rocks found on the near side of the Moon.</p>
<p>The important fact here is that Mars is some 800 million years older than the Earth and at the date of Venus&#8217; 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 &#8216;Oceanus Borealis&#8217;, and land appeared.  Thus the Bible states that &#8220;God created the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament &#8230; And God called the firmament Heaven.&#8221;  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 &#8216;duat&#8217;, that place to which the souls of the deceased traveled.</p>
<p>The Bible then states &#8220;And God said, Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness&#8221; and let them have dominion over all the animals.  The word for God used in this passage is &#8216;<em>elohiym</em>&#8216;, which is plural, consistent with the pronoun &#8220;us&#8221;, which has always been a mystery to Christians, in spite of the primary message of Jesus Christ, which was about the &#8216;Kingdom of Heaven&#8217;.  Going further, &#8220;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.&#8221;</p>
<p>I believe that this means the <em>elohiym</em> 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 &#8216;evolved&#8217;.  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.</p>
<p>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 <em>Vach</em> (language) and the Egyptian <em>Thoth</em> and <em>Ptah</em>, about which is written:  &#8221;It was said that <em>Ptah</em> 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, <em>Ptah</em>caused them to be,&#8221;  reflecting the Biblical  &#8221;In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word &#8230; The same was in the beginning with God.&#8221;  The &#8220;great metal plate&#8221; is obviously a reference to the Biblical <em>firmament</em>, which was priori-Mars &#8211; the Hebrew name for which, <em>raqiya</em>, denotes a solid metal dome over the Earth, but in actuality was a solid <em>inverted</em> dome above the Earth.  These special deities were actually different cultures&#8217; concepts of the Biblical <em>elohiym</em>, who not only &#8216;created&#8217; man but acted as teachers for the newly created <em>Adam</em>.</p>
<p>In the Rig Veda, <em>Indra</em> (actually the <em>planet</em> priori-Mars) was credited with introducing language:  &#8221;Speech was originally confused, unvaried like the roar of the sea and undistinguished, without articulation to denote crude {primitive}, inflections, words and sentences.  Then <em>Indra</em>, being solicited by the gods &#8230; 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 (<em>Vach</em>), being now distinguished in its parts &#8230; is pronounced by all men.&#8221;</p>
<p>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 &#8216;ships&#8217; 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:</p>
<p><strong>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.</strong></p>

<p>This article is a little break from my usual Cyclic Catastrophism.  Several sightings reveal that UFO&#8217;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 &gt; 10^13 amps.  This value assumes that the lift results from the force <em>difference</em> 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 &#8216;lines&#8217; 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 &#8211; &#8216;their&#8217; fly-by-wire system would be a lot better than those used in F-16, F-18 and F-22.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<div id="attachment_358" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/ufocloaking.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-358" title="UFOcloaking" src="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/ufocloaking.jpg?w=300&#038;h=204" alt="" width="300" height="204" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">UFO Emitting cloaking gasas</p></div>
<p>In spite of &#8216;gummint&#8217; attempts to discredit him, the photographs and moving pictures obtained by the one-armed Swiss farmer Eduard &#8216;Willie&#8217; Meier, are the best I know of (although some of his ideas are questionable).  In one motion picture, the UFO approaches relatively close to &#8216;pose&#8217; 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&#8217;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 &#8216;light up&#8217; 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 &#8216;screen&#8217; 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.</p>
<p>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 &#8216;cloud&#8217;.   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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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 &#8216;cabin&#8217; and may even be &#8216;focused&#8217; 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.</p>
<p>Mr. Meier claims to have been taken on one of the scout ships shown above to a &#8216;great spacer&#8217;, in which the UFO people demonstrated their &#8216;warp-drive&#8217;.  He states a couple of interesting things.  First the ship must reach its maximum velocity with the conventional, magnetic field, drive before &#8216;jumping&#8217;.  Second, that to reach their destination they require a couple of separate &#8216;jumps&#8217;.  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 &#8216;been lost&#8217; early in the warp development.  I have often wondered that the execution of a warp jump might cause a &#8216;gamma-ray burst&#8217;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Akhenaten is known as the heretical pharaoh, who changed his name from Amenhotep IV in the fifth year of his reign and moved the religious center from Thebes to a newly built city named Akhenaten, now Amarna.  The change in name was the result of his adoption of one of the pantheon of Egyptian deities, Aten, as the &#8216;one and only&#8217; god.  Akhenaten meant &#8216;servant of Aten&#8217;.  As a result, some ancientologists imagine that this was a precursor of the Christian and Muslim religions but this was not the case.</p>
<p><em>Aten</em> is currently thought to be the Sun.  But all Egyptians of his time knew <em>Aten</em> was not the Sun, just as they knew <em>Ra</em> (or <em>Re</em>), an associated deity, was not the Sun.  Egyptologists, indeed all humanists, have been led astray by the uniformitarianism of the &#8216;hard sciences&#8217;, 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 <em>Aten</em>.</p>
<div id="attachment_351" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 278px"><a href="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/aten_disk.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-351" title="Aten_disk" src="http://manvantura.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/aten_disk.jpg?w=268&#038;h=300" alt="" width="268" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Akhenaten worshiping Aten</p></div>
<p>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 <em>Aten</em> in three dimensions, making clear that it was not a disk like the Sun, but a &#8216;world&#8217;.</p>
<p>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 &#8216;<em>djed</em> <em>pillar</em>&#8216; or &#8216;<em>tet</em>&#8216; hieroglyth, but was primarily <em>Osiris</em> and in other cultures <em>Prajapati</em>, <em>Purusha</em>, <em>Brahma</em>, <em>Zeus</em>, and the &#8216;column of smoke and fire.&#8217;  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 &#8216;off-center&#8217; view, which is accurately depicted in the art of the Akhenaten period.</p>
<p>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 <em>manna</em> (Jewish), <em>Soma</em> (Vedic), <em>ambrosia</em> (Greek), <em>haoma</em> (Persian) which obviously fell around the world and were not a figment of the imagination of all these cultures.  The &#8216;rays&#8217; 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.</p>
<p>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 <em>Atlas</em> of Greek myth and <em>Shu (</em>the upholder) of Egyptian myth.  It was also imagined to be the <em>axis</em> <em>mundi</em>, 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 &#8211; Mars, and its features when it orbited the Earth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>This is the strange title of Chapter XI of the ancient Hindu astronomy textbook<strong><em> Surya</em> <em>Siddhanta</em></strong></div>
<div>Although not understood by Indic scholars, this chapter not only confirms the notion that priori-Mars (Mars still had its solid iron core) orbited close to the Earth, but also specifies the calculations the Aryans used to predict alignments of it with the Sun and Moon because of the great destruction which resulted on Earth from these alignments. The first five verses explain the effect of different alignments on the planet:</div>
<div><strong>1.  When the sun and moon are upon the same side of either solstice, and when, the sum of their longitudes being a circle, they are of equal declination, it is styled <em>vaidhrta</em>.</strong></div>
<div><strong>2.  When the moon and sun are upon opposite sides of either solstice, and their minutes of declination are the same, it is <em>vyatipata</em>, the sum of their longitudes being a half-circle.</strong></div>
<div><strong>3.  Owing to the mingling of the nets of their equal rays, the fire arising from the wrathfulness of their gaze, being driven on by the provector (<em>pravaha</em>), is originated unto the calamity of mortals.</strong></div>
<div><strong>4.  Since a fault (<em>pata</em>) at this time often causes the destruction of mortals, it is known as <em>vyatipata</em>, or, by a difference of title, <em>vaidhrti</em>.</strong></div>
<div><strong>5.  Being black, of frightful shape, bloody-eyed, big bellied, the source of misfortune to all, it is produced again and again.</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>At this point the commentator interjects a page-long note, from which I have chosen just a few sentences, which implies that he cannot make any sense of this entire chapter.:</div>
<div>“Of all the chapters in this treatise, this is the one which has the least interest and value.  It is styled <em>patadhikara</em>, “chapter of the patas,” and concerns itself with giving a description of the malignant times when the sun and moon have equal declination, upon the same or opposite sides of the equator &#8230;</div>
<div>Why [this time] should be looked upon as so especially important is not easy to discover&#8230;</div>
<div>The title of the (pata or &#8216;fall&#8217;) which occurs when the sun and moon are equally removed from the equator upon the same side of it, is <em>vyatipata</em>, which may be rendered “very excessive sin or calamity &#8230; ”</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This undoubtedly expresses the incredulous attitude of any modern scholar, who has no understanding of Cyclic Catastrophism, and leads to the misinterpretation of the original Sanskrit.  Fortunately, the interpreter explains the critical Sanskrit terms, allowing us to better interpret their physical meaning.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“The terms translated by us “upon the same and upon the opposite sides of either solstice” are <em>ekayanagata</em> and <em>viparitayanagata</em>, literally, situated in the same and in contrary <em>ayanas</em>.”</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I suggest that <em>anagata</em> actually meant the disk (<em>mandala</em>) of priori-Mars and <em>ayanas</em> meant ‘quadrants’.  It was quite large, 500 times the area of the full moon, i.e. ~ 11 degrees in diameter, while the moon and sun diameters are only about 0.5 degrees, so when the sun and moon passed behind the disk of priori-Mars, their actual alignment with it could not be seen.  Because of the potential danger of massive meteorite &#8216;falls,&#8217; it was necessary to predict the alignments accurately, the calculations for which are given in verses 7 through 15.  If the sun and moon would be well separated when they passed behind the planet the aspect was called (<em>vaidhrti</em>) meaning the danger was ‘withheld’, if close to one another, there was a disasterous fall (<em>vyatipata</em>) of innumerable hot glowing bodies to the Earth. The close alignments of the sun and moon with the center of priori-Mars, which revolved once a day with the Earth, enormous convulsions would occur in its interior and the result was that many great glowing, hot rocks would be ejected into space through volcanic vents in the northern hemisphere of the planet, which remained oriented toward the Earth during each fifteen-year encounter. Some of these were as large as Mt. Everest, as evidenced by the size of the larger Near Earth Asteroids.  Many of the ejected rocks would fall to earth.  The relatively innoculous word <em>pata</em> described the falling of these rocks, of which modern  interpreters obviously cannot make sense. However, the term <em>vyatipata, </em> &#8216;terrible fall&#8217; conveys the fear of the people.  Verse 5 describes the ominous appearance of the planet just before the explosive convulsions &#8211; this was the aspect of the Vedic <em>Rudra</em>, and later <em>Siva</em> in the Hindu pantheon, the destructive aspect of the Hindu triad.</p>
</div>
<div>Verses 12 through 15 explain how to calculate the times of the beginning, middle and end of the dangerous encounters.</div>
<div><strong></strong> </div>
<div><strong>16.  The time intervening between the moments of the beginning and the end is to be looked upon as exceedingly terrible, having the likeness of a consuming fire, forbidden for all works.</strong></div>
<div><strong>17.  While any parts of the disks of the sun and moon have the same declination, so long is there a continuance of this aspect (pata), causing the destruction of all works.</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Verse 17 means that if the sun and moon are moving along the same line, as viewed from the earth, while behind the disk the fall will continue.</div>
<div>The interpreter takes issue with the original interpretation of  verse 17 by Burgess, because he cannot understand what disk is being discussed.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>&#8220;We have translated verse 17 in strict accordance with the interpretation of it presented in the commentary, although we must acknowledge that we do not see how that interpretation is to be reconciled with the actual form of the text.  The term <em>ekayanagata</em>, which the commentator renders “having equal declination,” is the same with that which in the first verse signified “situated in the same <em>ayana</em>”; <em>mandala</em>, although it is sometimes used with the meaning “disk,” here attributed to it by him, is the word employed in that same verse for a “circle,” or “360 degrees”; and <em>antara</em>, which he explains by <em>ekadeca</em>, “any part,” never, so far as we know, is properly used in that sense, while it is of frequent occurrence elsewhere in this treatise with the meaning “interval.”  The natural rendering of the line would seem to be “when there is between the sun and moon the interval of a circle, situated in the same <em>ayana</em>.”  This however yields no useful meaning, since such a description could only apply to an actual conjunction of the sun and moon.  We do not see how the difficulty is to be solved, unless it be allowed us, in view of the discordance already pointed out as existing between the plain meaning of the previous passage and that attributed it by the commentator, to assume that the text has been tampered with in this verse, and made to furnish a different sense from that it originally had, partly by forced interpretation, but partly also by such an alteration of its readings as disables it from yielding any other intelligible meaning.&#8221;</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Actually no one understands, unless they have read <em>Firmament</em> or my blogs, that the &#8216;disk&#8217;, which one hundred generations of the Vedic people knew very well, was a world which remained stationary in the heavens above Mt. Kailas. This was the <em>mandala</em>, 500 times the area of the full moon, also Indra, Vishnu, Siva, Horus, Baal, Argo, Nergal, Ares etc.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Verses 19 and 20 provide further corroboration of Cyclic Catastrophism:</div>
<div><strong>19.  When the equality of declinations of the sun and moon takes place in the neighborhood of the equator, the aspect (<em>pata</em> or fall) may then again occur a second time: in the contrary case, it may fail to occur.</strong></div>
<div><strong>20.  If the sum of the longitudes of the sun and the moon, in minutes, on being divided by the portion (<em>bhoda</em>) of an asterism (<em>bha</em>), yields a quotient between sixteen and seventeen, there is another, a third, <em>vyatipata</em> (disasterous fall).</strong></div>
<div><strong>21.  Of the asterisms (<em>dhishnya</em>) Aclesha (<em>sarpa</em>), Jyeshtha (<em>dindra</em>), and Ravati (<em>paushnya</em>), the last quarters are junctions of the asterisms (<em>bhasandhi</em>); the first quarter in the asterisms following these respectively is called <em>gandanta</em>. </strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Verse 19 means that if the alignment of the sun and moon occurs near the center of the (north-south) dimension of the disk of priori-Mars, or widest part, i.e. “the equator,” the alignment may occur on two consecutive days. This is because priori-Mars revolved exactly with the earth, in geostationary orbit, once per day while the moon revolved around the pair (earth and priori-Mars) once every 28 days, possibly 30 or even 36 days in Vedic times. On the first day the moon would still be approaching the sun as priori-Mars passed in front of them and on the second day could have moved slightly past it, both alignments within the 11 degree diameter of the ‘disk’ of the planet.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Verse 20 essentially states that if the alignment is exactly on the ‘equator’ it is possible for the sun and moon to both be behind the disk on three consecutive days, the first with the moon approaching the sun, the second exactly aligned with it and on the third day just past it but still behind the disk of the planet.  A simple calculation confirms that this is possible.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The <em>asterisms</em> were like constellations of stars, i.e. imagined figures, but ones formed by the myriad of erupting volcanoes on the surface of the planet,  also called the circum-polar stars. Verse 21 may be implying that the severity of the trio of <em>vyatipatas</em> was greatest when the <em>rotation</em> of priori-Mars about its axis, which was independent of its period of <em>revolution</em> &#8211; exactly one day, brought certain asterisms (familiar named groups of volcanoes) in line with the sun and moon at the time of the alignments.  Verse 22 emphasizes the disasterous consequences of the ‘triple fall.’</div>
<div><strong>22.  In all works, one must avoid the terrible trio of vyatipatas as also the trio of gandantas, and this trio of asterisms.</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Modern civilization has no idea of the enormous forces and continuous danger with which the entire world coped between 3700 and 687 BC. Fortunately the ancients did not have the massive infrastructure we have today, so their lives went on, even after the simultaneous falls of innumerable hot glowing meteorites, which could destroy entire modern cities, and changes in the spin axis of the earth&#8217;s crust/mantle, which would render all our satellites useless today.  The deaths of millions of ancients were the price paid for the rejuvenation of the earth, and the knowledge of the planets implicit in the ancient texts.  Sadly, neither of these blessings are understood in this modern world.  As sophisticated as people imagine the modern world, they are child-like, playing with simple toys like cars, the internet, stock market, cell phones  and weapons of mass destruction, having no real understanding or even interest in our origins or the purpose of our existence.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Churning of the Sea of Milk</strong></p>
<p>Ancient texts are rife with images of the physical events which were observed on the surface of priori-Mars (Indra) because it appeared 500 times the area of the full Moon, standing stationary in the heavens for fifteen years at a time.  These images reveal physical processes which astrophysicists have never even imagined.  The most unique feature of these encounters was that its north pole remained facing the Earth during each encounter.  This was due to the enormous raised mass, now called the Tharsis Bulge on its equator (the dog-star&#8217;s snout), which the laws of physics dictated had to remain equidistant from the Earth during each encounter. This can be understood in terms of a minimum energy orientation or by the laws of gyroscopic motion.  As in the case of the Earth&#8217;s changed rotation during each encounter (Part 2), in which the crust/mantle rotated independently of its solid core, so the crust/mantle of priori-Mars moved independently of its solid core,  but in this case its north pole remained facing the Earth.  Because the bulge was only on one side its rotation was wobbly &#8211; a top-like precession.  This motion is described in a number of ancient texts as a churn, wheel or mill. In <em>Hamlet&#8217;s</em> <em>Mill</em>,  after concluding the legend was based on the precession of the equinox,  Santillana and von Dechend rightly puzzle over the common theme of many old legends implying that each time the &#8216;mill&#8217; came off its axis, a new world age would begin.  This actually originated with the captures and releases of  <em>Indra</em>, and the resulting changes on Earth  due to the <em>bandhu</em>.  The enormous priori-Mars was also the origin of the many mandalas from ancient cultures.  Less well known, but quite significant is the ancient Welsh  <em>Aranrhod  </em>meaning the huge, <em>humped</em> silver wheel.  The best known Vedic representation of Indra&#8217;s rotation is &#8216;the churning of the sea of milk&#8217;, where <em>Hari</em>, himself, present in tortoise form was the pivot and the churning stick was the mountain Mandara.</p>
<p><strong>Asterisms</strong></p>
<p>In addition to the largest seven volcanoes in the northern hemisphere of priori-Mars (below), there were many lesser ones which were visible as star-like points of light when on the dark side.  These were called the circum-polar stars in many cultures because of the planet&#8217;s wheel-like roattion.  The Vedic people imagined groups of these &#8216;stars&#8217; forming recognizable shapes as we do today with stellar constellations.  These they called asterisms (<em>bhagana</em>), and in the text, mused &#8220;How does the circle of asterisms  revolve?&#8221;  These asterisms were divided into 27 pie-shaped zones (<em>Nakshatras</em>), now imagined to be &#8216;lunar mansions&#8217;.  In the Hindu astronomy text, <em>Surya</em> <em>Siddhanta</em>, one chapter is devoted to a mysterious mechanical device, called the Armillary Sphere, thought to represent the Earth, but which was actually a moving model of priori-Mars.  This showted the asterisms (<em>bhu</em>) on the &#8216;stellar sphere&#8217; (<em>bhubhuhagola</em>)  Notes attached to the published version include the following quote indicating that this chapter might contain something special:  &#8221;This chapter has a peculiar title, <em>jyotishopanishadhyaya</em> &#8230; its application to this chapter is equivalent to an assumption for it of especial sanctity and authority&#8221;.  The sphere contains <em>Meru</em>, which was the mountain at the base of  <em>Prajapati</em> or <em>Brahma</em>, formed from the immediate debris of many collapses and was definitely at the north pole of priori-Mars.</p>
<p>This giant sphere was the TV of the Vedic Period &#8211; everyone watched it and it gave light to the world at night.  Although stationary in the heavens, it not only turned slowly like a wheel but also went through a complete phase, like that of the Moon, once per day due to its rotation with the Earth.  This allowed people to see the surface details better than NASA can today due to the changing illumination angles. It attained full illumination at midnight and half illumination at sunset and sunrise as viewed from Mt. Kailash, so the Earth was never dark in the Aryan lands during the encounters.</p>
<p><strong>The Seven holy Rishis</strong></p>
<p>As soon as priori-Mars became captured and the orientation of its north pole toward the Earth was established, all the water in its northern hemisphere was drawn to its north pole by the tidal force of the Earth. Thus, the ocean tides on both bodies remained stationary, except for the swirling or churning on priori-Mars.  Seven large volcanoes extended above this northern ocean, which were called the &#8216;seven holy <em>rishis&#8217;</em> in the Vedas, the &#8216;seven sisters&#8217; of <em>Zeus</em>, and the Japanese <em>subaru</em>.</p>
<p><strong>The Mundane Egg</strong></p>
<p>The tidal force of the Earth also began melting the subsurface rocks at its north pole which, once melted, slowly began to flow up toward the surface through many cracks and first appeared as the glowing &#8216;<em>mundane egg</em>&#8216; within the sea.  The amazing growth of the mundane egg is described in the legend of Manu (a man) who found a tiny fish which kept growing and he kept giving it a larger bowl until he finally realized it was a god, who then saved the man from a flood.</p>
<p><strong>Avataras</strong></p>
<p>As the lava sphere grew larger and larger it eventually rose above the waters.  After as much as a year into each fifteen-year <em>Kalpa</em>, the land that first appeared was given a name based on its resemblance to a known animal, such as a boar, tortoise or fish.  These were originally called the Incarnations of <em>Brahma</em> and later, when <em>Brahma</em> lost favor, the Avatara&#8217;s of <em>Vishnu</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Purusha, Prajapati and Brahma</strong></p>
<p>As the lava continued to flow it began to shoot into the air, i.e. downward toward the Earth in many streams, which hardened on the outside forming rigid lava tubes which intertwined to form an enormous, somewhat spindly vertical structure.  It eventually rose to an amazing height of  2,300 km, the point of zero gravity between the planets, essentially supported by the upward tidal force of the Earth.  This was the great Vedic deity <em>Purusha</em>, <em>Prajapati</em> and later the Hindu <em>Brahma</em>.  As a result, an epithet of <em>Prajapati</em> is <em>Narayana</em> &#8217;he who originated from the waters&#8217;.</p>
<p><strong>Day of Brahma</strong></p>
<p>Hindu myth explains that each <em>kalpa</em> was a &#8216;day of Brahma&#8217; and that a night of Brahma was equal in duration to a &#8216;day of Brahma&#8217;.  This implies that when released into its planetary orbit, it remained there about fifteen years.  Texts of other cultures tell that the captures took place in October and the releases, fifteen years later, occurred at a vernal equinox.  This establishes the two points at which the two orbits crossed.  Hindu myth also says that Brahma lived one-hundred days.  This implies that there were one hundred encounters, which is slightly different than the ninety-nine Indras.  This remains a mystery.  At the end of each day of <em>Brahma </em>he lay down on &#8216;coils of the serpent <em>sesha&#8217;</em>.  Each <em>kalpa</em> (fifteen years) was divided into four <em>yugas</em> of decreasing length, which were characterized by the nature, brightness and velocity of the &#8216;embodied spirits&#8217; shot into the air, which were obviously consistent from encounter to encounter.  A day and a night of Brahma totaled thirty years and one hundred cycles added up to 3,000 years.  This is consistent with Greek myth which states &#8216;the Olympic Gods reigned for 3,000 years&#8217;.</p>
<p><strong>The Four Heads of Brahma</strong></p>
<p>The enormous hardened lava column was seen in some cultures as the &#8216;<em>axis mundi</em>&#8216; &#8211; the axis of the worlds (plural), thought to join priori-Mars and the Earth.  Near the very top it spread out at four slightly different levels due to a sort of fractionation of the liquids rising within the tubes, forming distintly different layers, the textures and colors of which are described in the Vedas.  These were the &#8216;four heads of <em>Brahma</em>&#8216;, each of which was imagined have knowledge of one book of the Vedas.  These layers were also imagined to be spreading vegetation, leading to the notion that <em>Brahma</em> was a lotus growing from the navel of <em>Vishnu</em>, which was the land above the waters at priori-Mars&#8217; north pole.  It was also called the &#8216;<em>tree</em> of <em>life</em>&#8216;, the <em>upside-down tree of the shamans</em>, <em>parijata</em> (the wish-granting tree), <em>Osiris</em> (Egyptian), <em>Zeus</em> and <em>Atlas</em> (Greek), and most descriptive, &#8216;<em>the column of smoke and fire</em>&#8216; (Bible).  A well-known Egyptian hieroglyph, the <em>tet</em> or <em>djed</em> pillar, closely related to Osiris, is a column with four horizontal layers at the top.  Also some Egyptian funerary texts describe a &#8216;rope ladder&#8217; (the four layers being the rungs) lowered from the <em>duat</em>, the land at the north pole of priori-Mars, to aid the deceased pharaoh to reach heaven.  The final step in this process occurred when priori-Mars was released and carried the &#8216;souls&#8217; collected while the <em>duat</em> was close to the Earth, &#8216;to the gods&#8217;.  The column is also the inspiration for the <em>stupa</em> towers, Chinese pagoda, Egyptian stela and Amerind &#8216;totem poles&#8217;.</p>
<p><strong>Purushas Sacrifices</strong></p>
<p>Alignments of priori-Mars with the Moon, or worse yet, the Sun and Moon combined, caused great convulsions within the planet.  These were responsible for blasting large hot bodies, some the size of Mt. Everest into space.  They also gradually ejected all the water, atmosphere and samples of plant matter to the Earth.  At these times the hardened lava column sometimes collapsed, covering large areas of the northern hemisphere of the planet with small chunks of lava containing vesicles due to escaping gases.  They surround both Viking lander sites which are thousands of kilometers from one another.   Because the lava flow was not interrupted the lava tubes quickly reformed.  In the Rig Veda this process was likened to &#8216;a serpent shedding its skin&#8217;.  These collapses were seen as <em>Purusha</em>, <em>Prajapati</em>, later <em>Brahma</em> &#8216;sacrificing&#8217; himself in order to create &#8216;embodies spirits&#8217; &#8211; the large ejected bodies.  One version described the seven large volcanoes as posts used to hold <em>Prajapati</em> or <em>Purusha</em> for the sacrifice. These &#8216;creations&#8217; led to the epithet &#8216;the creator&#8217;.</p>
<p>Many of the large rock bodies shot into space still revolve about the Sun in orbits close to the Earth and are called Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs), which astrophysicists believe are billions of years old and came from the main asteroid belt.  So much rock was blasted from priori-Mars during the Vedic Period that the entire northern third of Mars today is seven kilometers lower than the rest of the planet.  This is evidence for the orientation of the planet during the encounters.  The Rig Veda  states: &#8216; &#8230; all existences are a quarter of him and three quarters remained &#8230; and is immortal in the sky.</p>
<p><strong>rta &#8211; Cosmic Order</strong></p>
<p>When the two planets approached the Earth, the more massive proto-Venus exercised a stronger tidal force (actually on the Tibetan-Himalayan complex) than priori-Mars.  This could be felt by the people as variations or &#8216;locking-up&#8217; of the rotation of the Earth.  Thus the <em>asura</em> (<em>ahura</em>) <em>Mitra</em>-<em>Varuna</em> (<em>Ahuramazda</em>) was said to posess a greater <strong><em>rta</em></strong> than Indra. Thus rta referred to the tidal force of  nearby planets.  This word evolved to become <em>dharma</em> and <em>karma</em> in later Hindu texts and <em>a<strong>rta</strong></em> and <em>asha</em> in the proto-Iranian texts and the Avesta.  Scholars have long interpreted this incorrectly as &#8216;truth&#8217;, but also &#8216;cosmic order&#8217;.  The term &#8216;cosmic order&#8217; is much more appropriate, since the <em>rta</em> of proto-Venus completely changed the number and orbits of the terrestrial planets to their present configuration.  So in one sense Zarathustra was correct in designating <em>Ahuramazda</em> as the supreme deity.</p>
<p>After surrendering all of its volatile resources &#8211; oceans, atmosphere and biosphere to enhance a sickly Earth, priori-Mars split into two parts, known today as Mercury, its former solid core, and Mars, its rigid outer shell which has collapsed in on itself.  Such a splitting, with one body moving inward and the other outward in the solar system is consistent with the laws of physics.    One must ask the question whether or not one hundred encounters, sufficient to capture all the resources of  the ancient planet and safely, perhaps cleverly, dispose of the debris, were due to yet a higher power than even <em>Ahuramazda</em>.</p>
