"And the seven judges of hell raised their
torches, lighting the land with their livid flame.
A stupor of despair went up to heaven when the
god of the storm turned daylight into darkness,
when he smashed the land like a cup"
The Epic of Gilgamesh
Is it possible to predict the future by studying
the past? Our ancestors believed that destiny
cannot be altered. Whatever is meant to happen,
will happen. At present, many of us are focusing
on the year of 2012. What is so special about
that particular year? Will our current world be
destroyed or will we perhaps experience a transformation
of some kind?
According to ancient records and beliefs, at
least four marvelous worlds have already been
destroyed due to global cataclysms in the past.
During the last great cosmic catastrophe that
occurred ten to twelve thousand years ago, the
cosmic body that passed the Earth caused dramatic
and severe climate changes. A poleshift led to
the extinction of millions of life forms, humans,
animals, and plants on Earth.
The ancients studied the stars and the Sun because
they believed the future could be predicted by
examining the past. It was considered that time
itself was linked to the cyclic movements of the
Earth through the heavens. Many advanced ancient
civilizations developed precessional calendars,
which were 25,776 years in duration. A precessional
cycle comprises of the 2,160-year ages of the
Zodiac. The precessional calendars of our ancestors
predicted the destruction of the old world and
re-birth of a new world, as well as the return
of the star gods.
The ancients' myths of the previous worlds are
striking similar. Our ancestors' calendars were
also very advanced. This indicates that the ancient
people shared the same memories and must have
received their astronomical knowledge from the
same source, the alien gods.
Let us take a brief look at what some of our ancestors
had to say about the past ages.
Destroyed Worlds
The Native American tribes wisdom of the past
world epochs is impressive. The Hopi Indians,
an American culture consisting of about 5,000
inhabitants living in Arizona tell of worlds,
which have all been destroyed by various cataclysms.
Each of these worlds could be considered as a
cycle of civilization. According to the Hopi we
are currently living in the fourth world. The
previous worlds were brought to an end by fire,
a poleshift, and flooding.
The Hopi say:
"The first world was destroyed, as a punishment
for human misdemeanors, by an all-consuming fire
that came from above and below. The second world
ended when the terrestrial globe toppled from
its axis and everything was covered with ice.
The third world ended in a universal flood."
The Aztecs were convinced that the world went
through several ages called Suns. Each Sun lasted
a specific time and at the end of the period,
the world was destroyed in a cataclysmic event.
One of the most famous and precious Aztec artifacts
is the great "Sun Stone". This fascinating
object, which is a good proof of the ancients'
astronomical knowledge, represents the four great
suns of Aztec history. The Aztecs believed the
world went through four creations and destruction's.
Each sun depicted on the Sun Stone is a period
identified with a certain event that ended it.
The Aztecs believed the first world belonged to
the giants who died because of hunger. What caused
the starvation? Was it perhaps a change of the
climate, a drought? The second sun was ended by
strong wind and the third sun was destroyed because
of quakes, storms, and rain of fiery ashes. Finally,
water ended the fourth sun, thus the Great Flood.
We are now living in the fifth sun, which is characterized
by great wars and diseases. It is said that earthquakes
will end this world.
Another clue to the cosmogony of the Aztecs is
a valuable document called the "Codex Vaticanus".
According to this paper, there were four ages
of the world preceding the present one.
The Codex Vaticanus offers the following history
of mankind:
"First Sun, 'Matlactli Atl': duration 4,008
years. Those who lived then ate water maize called
'atzitzintli'. In this age lived the giants...
The First Sun was destroyed by water in the sign
'Matlactli Atl' (Ten Water). It was called 'Apachiohualiztli'(flood,
deluge), the art of sorcery of the permanent rain.
Men were turned into fish. Some say that only
one couple escaped, protected by an old tree living
near the water. Others say that there were seven
couples who hid in a cave until the flood was
over and the waters had gone down. They repopulated
the Earth and were worshipped as gods in their
nations...
Second Sun, 'Ehecoatl': duration 4,010 years.
Those who lived then ate wild fruit known as 'acotzintli'.
This Sun was destroyed by Ehecoatl (Winged Serpent)
and men were turned into monkeys... One man and
one woman, standing on a rock, were saved from
destruction...
Third Sun, 'Tleyquiyahuillo': duration 4,081 years.
Men, the descendents of the couple who were saved
from the Second Sun, ate a fruit called 'tzincoacoc'.
This Third Sun was destroyed by fire...
Fourth Sun, Tzontlilic: duration 5,026 years.
Men died of starvation after a deluge of blood
and fire..."
The Aztecs called the fifth sun, "The Sun
of Movement". This period in our history
will end as a result of the Earth's movement.
Unfortunately, the Aztecs did not provide us with
any date of the ending of the current world.
The Mayas, who were excellent astronomers, developed
a calendar based on the cycle of the Pleiades.
According to the Mayas, time operates in great
cycles of creation and destruction. These cycles
have duration of 5,125 years. The Mayas predict
that the end of this world will begin at the end
of the next great cosmic cycle, on December 21-23,
2012.
There are of course some objections to these claims.
For one thing, we cannot dismiss the possibility
that although the Mayas were great astronomers,
they could have miscalculated the date. A number
of people, including some of the Mayan elders
believe that the year 2012 is not a doomsday date,
but represents rather a time of transformation.
During this transition period, our world will
experience environmental destructions, wars, and
many Earth changes. The year 2012 should be considered
as a date of re-birth, the start of the "World
of the Fifth Sun".
Interesting to note is, how could the Mayas have
possibly known what the conditions would be like
at this point in our history, as we head towards
December, 2012?
According to Hindu beliefs, everything has an
end and a new beginning. Nothing is eternal, not
even the gods themselves. Time is cyclical, and
the creation is a continuous re-creation process.
The Vedic scriptures divide the history of humankind
into four epochs, or world "yugas" (ages).
The first world epoch, the Krita yuga, which was
most perfect of all ages lasted for 4,800 divine
years. One divine year corresponds to as much
as 360 human years. Thus, the Krita yuga lasted
1,728,000 human years. The gods' extremely long
lifespan was often considered a sign of immortality.
In the Holy Bible it is written:
2 Peter 3
WITH THE LORD, A DAY IS LIKE A THOUSAND YEARS
AND A THOUSAND YEARS ARE LIKE A DAY.
The next world epoch, the Treta yuga lasted 3,600
divine years, meaning 1,296,000 human years. Then
followed the Dvapara yuga. This era lasted 2,400
divine years, 864,000 human years. The Hindu people
believe that we are currently living in the yuga
of "Kali", the Goddess of Destruction.
During the various epochs, all the worshipped
yuga deities have a different color. Do the colors
merely have a symbolic meaning, or has our planet,
during every world epoch, been assigned to an
extraterrestrial being, a god, whose primary task
was to control and guard the Earth?
This present age, the Kali yuga will be the shortest
of all the four ages. It will last only 1,200
divine years, 432,000 human years. Characteristic
for this world age are natural disasters and tyrannical
rulers.
Some cultures count with more than five previous
worlds. For example, we learn from a Hebrew tradition
called "Shmi Tot" that life on our planet
has been destroyed six times before. We are currently
living in the seventh creation. A Jewish legend
tells:
"Nor is this world inhabited by man the
first of things Earthly created by God. He made
several worlds before ours, but he destroyed them
all."
Each of the previous worlds was destroyed in
a cataclysm. The Jews believe that the world exists
in cycles, each lasting seven thousand years.
The ending of a cycle is considered a transformation.
The ancient Greeks on the other hand had accounts
of five different races, which inhabited Earth
during various ages.
One of the greatest problems with the calculation
of the approaching end of the world is the fact
that the starting points of world calendars differ.
The Jewish calendar begins at the supposed date
of the creation of the world, 3,761 B.C. The Greek
calendar starts 776 B.C., when the first Olympiad
began. The Roman calendar begins 753 B.C., this
is the date of the foundation of Rome. The starting
point of the Islamic calendar is 622 A.D., the
year in which Mohammed left Mecca, and the Christian
calendar begins with the birth of Jesus Christ.
This means that those who believe that the world
will end 2012 should consider what this year means
in relation to the various world calendars.
An ending brought to our world caused by a celestial
body is also described in the Holy Bible. Revelation
repeatedly refers to a cosmic catastrophe and
Ezekiel tells that during the End of Days fire
and brimstone will fall from the skies, and there
will be great earthquakes, plagues, and wars.
Revelation 6:12-14
6:12 And I saw when he opened the sixth seal,
and there was a great earthquake; and the sun
became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole
moon became as blood; 6:13 and the stars of the
heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth
her unripe figs when she is shaken of a great
wind. 6:14 And the heaven was removed as a scroll
when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island
were moved out of their places.
The Bible does not provide us with a date when
this disaster will occur. The only warning we
have is that these events begin with the return
of anti-Christ.
We know that human evolution passes through a
serious of amazing transformations. Worlds are
destroyed on periodical and cyclical basis. Our
present world and we, humans are a bridge between
past and future, as I explain in my book.
When will the next cycle occur? When will the
extraterrestrial kingdoms return to Earth? When
will the alien gods visit us again? The key to
our future lies hidden in the past…
