Cosmic Catastrophe: Occluded History of our Solar System

Cosmic Catastrophe

Occluded History of our Solar System 

By Gerard Deva

   

 

“All cosmological theories assumed that the planets have evolved in their places for billions of years… Venus was formerly a comet and joined the family of planets within the memory of mankind… We claim that the Earth’s orbit changed more than once, and with it the length of the year; that the geographic position of the terrestrial axis and its astronomical direction changed repeatedly and that at a recent date the polar star was in the constellation of the Great Bear.”     

- Immanuel Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision, p.361    

Dr Immanuel Velikovsky was one of the twentieth century’s great scholars. He sought to solve a mystery and in the process generated enormous controversy in the fields of archaeology, astronomy, history, geology, theology and cosmology – among others. The extraordinary attack by many members of the scientific community on his work, their attempts to intimidate his publisher and suppress his evidence have made Velikovsky the Galileo of his time.   

The story starts in 1939. Dr Velikovsky, a practicing psychoanalyst who had studied with Freud, went to the US to research a book on three dominant figures of the ancient Mediterranean world – Moses, Oedipus and Akhnaton. When he was nearly complete a question arose about the timing of the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt. Although recorded in detail by the Hebrews, there was no equivalent record in Egyptian history. Why not?

  

  Under the conventional chronology of Egyptian history, the time period usually considered for the Exodus causes problems. For many other events in Hebrew history there appear to be no Egyptian counterparts either – but these two nations existed beside each other for centuries, according to the Hebrews.  Velikovsky’s answer to this lack of correlation was to suggest that the accepted chronology of ancient Egypt was out by five hundred years. He noted that our dating of Egyptian periods came from the dynastic records handed down by Aegyptus and Agrippa, and that the reins of the Pharaohs – used to date Egyptian history – had been strung together one after another to arrive at our modern conventional chronology.

 

 The key to the ‘missing’ half millennium was that there were many ‘co-regnal’ periods when the reins of monarchs overlapped or were indistinct. In Velikovsky’s revised chronology many events in Hebrew history were found to have their counterpart in the Egyptian record. He found papyri that described the events of Exodus, relating descriptions of the ‘plagues’ as they occurred in Egypt and the death of a pharaoh and his chariots in a watery vortex - and dated the fragments to the reign of Akhnaton - the ‘Heretical Pharaoh’ who ruled in times of utter chaos – and his father, Amenophis III.

  The new chronology was built from the archaeological evidence found in the ruins of ancient Egypt. From remaining papyrus and pottery, tomb paintings and monuments a new story emerged. Because the histories of Greece, Assyria, Babylon and Judea were all dated from the dynastic records of Egypt, Velikovsky’s work became highly controversial. In 1945 this was limited to a specialist field, but his next publication in 1950 aroused widespread controversy.   Worlds in Collision was Velikovsky’s explanation of the cause of this amnesia in our collective memory.   

The Comet Venus

   

 

The ancient civilization of Egypt was nearly destroyed in a cosmic catastrophe that endangered the entire planet, according to Velikovsky. Everywhere, huge resources were devoted to the study of the skies. It’s widely known that ancient civilizations in Asia, the Americas, Europe and the Middle East were highly advanced in astronomy. While we accept this as a common feature of our past, why were so many people interested in the study of the movements of the planets?

 

   Why is the alignment of astronomical instruments found in Babylon 2.5 degrees out from the present alignment of the Earth? Why did calendars constructed between the middle of the second millennium BCE and 800 BCE have 360 days and month of thirty days? Why do even earlier calendars have days, months and years of different lengths again?  Velikovsky’s answer was that the Earth and Mars had been involved in repeated near collisions with a gigantic cometary body since recorded history began.

 

 The events described in the Exodus and in Egyptian papyri are a vivid description of an age in chaos – plagues, turmoil and darkness, and the flight of the Hebrews from Egypt toward a ‘column of fire’ in Sinai.

  The Earth was momentarily slowed down and its axis slightly altered as the comet passed by. Electrostatic forces caused discharges to arc between the Earth and the comet, turning the skies to fire and the forests to flame. The crust was rent, volcanoes erupted, earthquakes rocked and darkness enveloped the world – the time of Exodus.

 

 Seven hundred years later Isiah, Joel and Amos described another series of upheavals; the Sun appeared to stand still in the sky. Although slightly dislodged from its axis and orbit again, the Earth fared better this second time. These were, in fact, the last two acts of a cosmic drama; the earliest act of which we have records is called ‘The Deluge’.

  Velikovsky believed that the origin of the comet that was responsible for changes in the Earth’s orbit was the proto-star we know as Jupiter. This idea enraged the scientific community, but his theories about the natures of Jupiter and Venus have not yet been proven wrong. He said that because Venus was younger than the other planets, its surface temperature would be much hotter and its atmosphere denser than astronomers believed; these predictions were proven correct. 

    He predicted Venus would be found to have orbital anomalies in relation to other planets. Venus has since been found to rotate on its axis in reverse direction to the other planets, and its day is longer than its year. We now know that parts of the atmosphere of Venus rotate in four days (with winds of up to 400 kilometres per hour) while the planet itself rotates in 243 days. Both these rotations are retrograde.

 

 One of Velikovsky’s hypotheses for the slowing of the Earth’s rotation which made the Sun appear to stand still was that the planet was engulfed in the extended atmosphere of the comet Venus. Some of the diurnal rotation of the Earth was imparted to this dust cloud according to Velikovsky, which fits the eccentric characteristics of the Venusian atmosphere.

  The comet spiraled past the Earth in an ever-decreasing path around the Sun before taking up its present orbit as the planet Venus. He cites further evidence to show that the Earth interacted with Mars on a number of occasions when writing was better developed than during the times of the Venusian encounters, after Venus flipped Mars out of its orbit. Disturbances caused by the passages of Mars consisted of earthquakes and electrical discharges. Most of the ‘Mars events’ took place within a ninety year period.

      This may all sound far fetched, but Velikovsky’s evidence and the predictions he made from it have stood the test of nearly six decades of investigation. As in his previous work, Velikovsky amassed an impressive range of evidence to support his case.   

 

Mythic Keys

 

  

To support his interpretation of the Hebrew and Egyptian histories Velikovsky searched the records of the civilizations of the eighth and fifteenth centuries BCE. In his last book he described his many years of research as sitting at the feet of sages “to listen to those who lived close to the events of the past… I realized very soon that the ancient sages lived in a frightened state of mind”. What became quickly apparent was the similarity of the events these people had experienced, and the fear that global upheavals associated with planetary encounters had inspired.

 

 The legends of the past are folklore, but the similarity of motifs from five continents and the Pacific Ocean islands is striking; witches on brooms, the dragon and the scorpion, an animal with many heads and a winged body, a woman whose veils stream behind her – these images are universal cosmic myths recording the characteristic shapes possessed by comets.  Velikovsky tracks the motif of the Sun being trapped in its movement through the tales of the Polynesians, Hawaiians and North American Indians. Like Middle Eastern civilizations, they have the story of the Sun being snared and freed by a mouse. In the Hawaiian version Mauii caught and beat the Sun, which begged for mercy and promised to go more slowly ever after. At the same time new islands appeared.

 

 The Ute tribe of North America tell of a piece of the Sun setting fire to the world, which was broken off by a rabbit after the Sun rose, went down and rose again. Cultures on the other side of the globe speak of the Sun setting, rising and setting again, when the solar orb remained an extra hour in the sky during Joshua’s famous battle.

  The legend of the cosmic battle of the planetary gods is familiar to us all. In the Homeric epics the Greeks choose Athena/Venus for their protector, the Trojans Ares/Mars – and they fought their battles while the gods struggled in the skies above. A similar situation existed in ancient Mexico. The Toltecs worshipped Quetzal-couatl/Venus, but the later Aztecs revered Huitzilopachtil/Mars. The identity, conflict and features of the planetary gods are consistent across the ancient world. Similarly, many potentates across the world named the cometary newcomer after themselves.

 

  Chinese chronicles record two suns doing battle in the sky and the disturbances of the other planets this caused. Mars was pursued by Venus, the Earth shook, glowing mountains collapsed, “the customs of the age are thrown into disorder… all living beings harass one another”. An old textbook of Hindu astronomy has a chapter on planetary conjunctions. A planet can be struck down or merely vanquished, and the victor in these encounters is usually the planet Venus. A juncture of the planets is called a yuga in Hindu astronomy; the ages of the world are also called yugas.

 

  An association of the planet Mars with the wolf is also common. In Babylon one of the seven names of Mars was ‘wolf’. An Egyptian god with the head of a wolf prowled the land and the Romans used the wolf – the legendary wet-nurse of Romulus and Remus, who are said to have founded Rome in 687 BCE - as the animal symbol for Mars. Slavic mythology has a god in the shape of the wolf, Vukadlak, who devoured the Sun and Moon. In the Icelandic epic the Edda, the god that darkens the Sun is the wolf Fenris, who battled the serpent Midgard in the heavens above. A Chinese astronomical chart quotes ancient sources in saying “once Venus ran into the Wolf Star”.    

 

Nature’s Evidence

 

 In Earth in Upheaval, Velikovsky excluded all references to ancient literature, tradition and folklore; “This I have done with intent, so that careless critics cannot decry the entire work as tales and legends. Stones and bones are the only witnesses.”  All over the coast of Alaska there are great heaps of smashed bones of extinct animals mingled with uprooted trees and the occasional flint spearhead. Four layers of volcanic ash can be found in these remains of splintered trees and dismembered bodies. In polar regions of Siberia and on the Arctic islands there are hills of broken wood piled hundreds of feet high, and beyond them hills of mammoth bones cemented together by frozen sand.

 

 On one island the bones of these animals were found with fossilised trees, leaves and cones. When the mammoth lived in Siberia there was abundant vegetation.  Spitsbergen is nearly 76 degrees north latitude; yet fossil flowers and corals and beds of coal thirty feet thick have been found there. Antarctica is known to have seams of coal at a latitude of 85 degrees. For this coal to have formed, the southern polar region must have had great forests in the past. How can relatively recent and sudden changes in the Earth’s climate and simultaneous widespread destruction of plant and animal species be explained?

 

  The violence of this destruction can be seen across Western Europe, where every major rock fissure is filled with the bones of animals, splintered and smashed into fragments. One 1,400 ft hill in France is capped by the remnants of mammoths, reindeer, horses and other animals. America has beds of fossil bones containing a hundred bones per square foot, deposited in sand. Some of these are over two hundred feet high. The hills of the Himalayas and Burma contain similar beds of bones. In China, among these fractured bones, the skeletons of seven humans were found. European, Melanesian and Eskimo types were lying together. Extinct and extant species of animals have been found mixed together in English deposits.     

Wreckords

 

         

The conventional theory of slow and uniform geological processes cannot explain these deposits – instead, they are evidence of major catastrophes, many of which have struck the planet during the time of modern humans’ existence. Velikovsky suggests a giant tidal wave engulfed the world that picked up and carried plants and animals over a great distance and smashed them intermingled into common graves.

 

 This and the transformation of the Earth’s climate are explained as consequences of the rapid change of the Earth’s axis brought about by a near-collision with another planet.    [The fact that the axis has tilted in relatively recent times is hardly in dispute – one must only glance at the distribution of ice sheets during the last glaciation to show that the poles must have titled about twenty degrees since the ice age principally ended about 13,000 years ago. Einstein wondered at the cause of a tilt of such magnitude, and conducted a protracted correspondence with Velikovsky and Charles Hapgood – who theorised that the crust regularly tilted around the mantle when the axial wobble became too pronounced – regarding their ideas about global catastrophe. Much of this debate has been somehow forgotten or misplaced in the new millennium, and Velikovsky’s ideas of smaller, more recent and repeated axial tilts have barely been considered – Ed.]

 

    The geological record tells a similar compelling story to that which paleontologists have unearthed. At 1,400 ft (over 400 metres) altitude in the Andes there are high water surf marks lined with undecayed seashells. There are many ruins surrounded by terraces for cultivation on the now high and dry western side of the Andes. On the east side, cultivated terraces continue far past the permanent snowline. Before the last lava sheet spread over Columbia human settlements were there, the remnants of which have been found. That the Andes Mountains were raised in fairly recent times by unimaginable forces is one conclusion.

 

  The ocean floor around the globe also bears witness to flows of lava and volcanic ash which covered a violently shifting bedrock while tidal waves battered the continents. There were once large areas of dry land and relatively recently formed beaches lie preserved in many places where the Atlantic Ocean now lies.

 

 The bottom of the seas show that the Earth has been showered with meteorites on a very large scale, leaving clay deposits rich in nickel, radium and iron.  When the Earth’s axis was shifted by the interaction of the Earth’s and the other planets’ magnetic fields, magnetic eddy currents formed in the atmosphere. These generated great heat and melted rocks on the surface. As this rock cooled, it reformed with a different magnetic polarity to surrounding strata. All over the world, similar local rock formations are found with their magnetic polarities reversed. For this to be the case the Earth’s magnetic field must have been reversed when these rocks were formed. Also, rocks with this inverted polarity are far more strongly magnetised than the Earth’s magnetic field alone can account for.

 

  Why was volcanic activity so common in the recent past? How was the sea floor raised and lowered around the world? As the Earth’s axis shifted in earlier times, the inertia of air and water caused hurricanes and tidal waves; the stress on the planet caused vulcanism and an outpouring of magma, sending up clouds of volcanic ash that threw a cloak of darkness over a sunless world.    

{As the Earth is not perfectly round but an oblate spheroid with an equatorial bulge, when the planet tilts on its axis areas which move off the raised area of the bulge will sink in relation to the sea level, and areas that tilt onto or nearer the equator will usually rise – up to two miles or more. Thus a continent can easily sink in the span of a single night, leaving only the mountaintops of Cuba and a few smaller islands as evidence of its former existence - and Lake Titicaca is full of salt water and contains species that have elsewhere become extinct since the ice age; its bed and the entire surrounds have been abruptly tilted, it’s surrounded by extensive ruins and the vast irrigated areas of an advanced civilization - and the irrigated areas and the lake itself are located above the point where rain ceases to fall; the lake has had no inflow for around 13,000 years - Ed}

 

  The heat generated by these forces evaporated seas. In some places torrential downpours formed great streams running through recently opened fissures in the Earth’s crust which suddenly eroded the landscape. Elsewhere, snow fell and covered the land with continental ice sheets. At the poles, permanent snow cover grew as the land cooled.  Climatic changes, ice cover, mountain building and the reverse magnetic orientation of contiguous strata of rocks are explained by Velikovsky’s theory of cosmic catastrophe. However, the accepted view of the Earth’s geological history is known as uniformitarianism; where the gradual workings of natural forces have produced the world as we know it. Needless to say, Velikovsky aroused as great a controversy in geology as he had previously in archaeology and astronomy. The defenders of uniformitarianism disliked Velikovsky’s ideas at least as much as their fellow scientists had.       

 

Velikovsky Attacked  

       

 

Publication of Worlds in Collision caused a violent reaction; astronomers everywhere denounced and decried the book. They threatened to blacklist Macmillan, the publisher, which was forced to withdraw the book from circulation. Under pressure, Macmillan transferred publication rights to Doubleday - who did not have a textbook department - and burned the unsold copies.  In reviews in reputable journals and public statements, academics and scientists even criticized some of Velikovsky’s works before anyone had read the manuscripts.

 

 Vehement conferences were held to show that Velikovsky’s theories were wrong.  Dr Immanuel Velikovsky died on November Seventeenth,1979 at the age of eighty-four. As more is learned about our solar system, some scientists have realized that his theories might conflict with accepted ideas, but not actually conflict with the facts.     

 

Rising From Amnesia          

Velikovsky theorized that humanity suffered a collective amnesia on the subject of catastrophes. As a reaction to the repeated near-destruction of human civilization, a deep scar has been left in the human psyche. Although the solar system has been settled for 2,700 years, he notes a seven hundred year cycle in the human collective consciousness. Christianity in the first century CE and Islam in the seventh were both founded in apocalyptic visions of the transformation of the world by fire. The fourteenth century was the time of the Black Death and the Hundred Years War, which reduced the population of Western Europe by two-thirds.  

 

Velikovsky’s fear was that in the Twenty-First Century this trauma would be reenacted by humanity, who are now in possession of the means of our own destruction. 

An examination of the facts may help the recall of our racial memory, the suppression of which could be the cause of great violence in our history.

Editor's Note: I first published this article in NEXUS New Times Magazine (Vol. 1) No 7, 1988; it’s been slightly edited for the new millennium. Since Dr Velikovsky’s time our discoveries in the solar system have tended to confirm his theories rather than refute them - including many observations of evidence of relatively recent catastrophes in the tortured terrains of Mars and Venus, the obvious catastrophic damage to many of the solar system’s myriad moons, the discovery of numerous hitherto unsuspected dwarf planets and last century’s paradigm-altering collision of the String of Pearls comets with the planet Jupiter.

Many ‘cometary’ bodies have been shown to have ‘planetary’-scale masses and many scientific assumptions regarding the stability and formation of the solar system have been proven incorrect. Recent carbon dates assigned to many sites and artefacts also conform with Velikovsky’s theories and many of the challenges he has made to conventional theories have remained unanswered - except by his theory.

   Readers familiar with the works of Zechariah Sitchin will note the parallels between his translations of Sumerian cosmological records and the hypotheses of Velikovsky. Hapgood’s The Path of the Pole is also an excellent read, and Worlds in Collision is an excellent place to start for anyone who intends to read Velikovsky’s extraordinarily erudite, detailed and fully footnoted works. His detractors should read his evidence before criticising it – but although many of these books were once found everywhere, most are now out of print and only available second hand. Is anyone out there dedicated enough to scan heaps of pages - and proofread and correct the resultant OCR text? The web awaits…

Recent Planetary Chaos? The God King Scenario

Recent Planetary Chaos?

The God King Scenario 

by Gary Gilligan

 

In the 1950s, Immanuel Velikovsky, a Russian psychologist (1895-1979), wrote a book called ‘Worlds in Collision.' Although a bestseller, Velikovsky's theories were rejected or ignored by the academic community. Why was this? Velikovsky stated that Venus was a new planet recently born from Jupiter and that along with Mars, Venus entered into encounters with Earth causing vast upheavals in early history. These cosmic ‘wars' affected the lives, beliefs and writings of early mankind. 

* Was Velikovsky correct in proposing recent upheaval in the Solar System? 

* Did Mars and Venus cause global disturbances by coming close to Earth only a few thousand years ago? Followers of Velikovsky (catastrophists) believe this to be true and science is slowly proving Velikovsky to be correct in a number of areas. 

For example, it is now generally accepted that Mars was once a planet very similar to Earth. Sometime in its past it suffered a cataclysmic upheaval which led to its now frozen desolate state. Although lacking a feasible explanation, planetary scientists believe the demise of Mars occurred billions of years ago. On the other hand, catastrophists believe Mars was torn apart only a few thousand years ago. 

But how do we prove the Solar System is a smoking gun? Although Velikovsky's supporters contend that science has largely been ignored, it will prove to be the ultimate judge and jury. However, a more immediate problem which faces catastrophists is mythology. In presenting a case for recent planetary chaos, catastrophists invariably turn to ancient myths and legends. This is unavoidable because, if such events occurred in historical times, then logically ancient cultures would have recorded them. 

Herein lies a major problem that has dogged catastrophists since Velikovsky's time. Presenting ancient tales as proof that errant planets recently roamed the cosmos will never be accepted as valid evidence. There are too many interpretations, variables and inconsistencies. Mythology is a body of stories created by our ancestors to explain the nature of the universe and their place in it. With this mindset, it is not surprising that catastrophism has reached an impasse. Is there a way forward? Yes there is! 

As a fully fledged catastrophist, I believe the solar system has undergone a radical upheaval in the history of man and I intend to prove it. I will start by giving a brief overview of cosmic chaos to establish where these events were written down in history and not mythology. 

Approximately 5,200 years ago (3200 BC), the solar system differed considerably from today. The planets Venus and Mercury did not exist and the Earth had no Moon. Mars was a lush green planet replete with land masses, oceans and an atmosphere. Mars harboured abundant life (intelligent life, but that's another story!) and was a replica of Earth, only half the size. Cosmic chaos began when a giant interloper entered our solar system and smashed into Jupiter, the largest planet. It caused an apocalyptic explosion which resulted in the birth of Venus and unimaginable quantities of space debris. Among the debris was a small body which became our Moon.

The evidence for the initial cataclysmic explosion is still with us today in the form of Jupiter's Great Red Spot (erroneously believed to be a raging storm) and the Asteroid belt which is a rocky band of debris between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Shortly after its cataclysmic birth, Venus disturbed Mars from its stable orbit and they both took on highly erratic and elliptical orbits close to and in the vicinity of Earth's orbit. This led to hundreds of encounters with Earth in a ‘celestial dance' which lasted 3,000 years. It became a perennial cycle of death and rebirth as Mars and Venus moved back and forth to Earth. 

After approximately 2,000 years of encounters with Earth, the huge gravitational and electromagnetic forces exerted upon Mars caused a momentous event. The tidal forces of Earth and Venus combined and tore out the heart of Mars….

 

Mercury joined Mars and Venus in their celestial encounters with Earth. For 700 to 800 years they were granted ‘life' as they approached Earth, only to ‘die' as they moved away to become gigantic stars in the Kingdom of Osiris. Amidst this cosmic melee, the Moon, assisted by Mars and Venus was slowly pulled into orbit around the Earth. Its erratic orbit settled into its recognisable 28 ½ day monthly cycle in a process that took several hundred years. 

The birth of Mercury signalled the beginning of the end of cosmic chaos. It was as though a cosmic elastic band snapped allowing the planets to move away from the Earth to settle into relatively stable orbits around the Sun. Mercury and Venus became the first and second rocks from the Sun respectively, while Earth was third and Mars was fourth leaving the Moon to become Earth's permanent companion.  Having proposed a sequential order of events, I will now prove that this information was recorded by our ancestors and is staring us in the face via ancient history . 

You may be wondering where these events were recorded. 

* Where is it written that Mars and Venus visited Earth numerous times to dominate the heavens for thousands of years? 

* Where does it say that this original divine couple were later joined by Mercury and the Moon?

The God King Scenario

 

The key to cosmic chaos lies with one of the most awe inspiring civilisations – the ancient Egyptians. It is centred on the pinnacle of Egyptian society, the divine monarchy of ancient Egypt – the god kings or ‘living gods'. 

This is the crux of the theory.The God King Scenario (GKS) proposes that in the first instance the monarchs of ancient Egypt were guises of the planets Mars, Venus, Mercury and the Moon each and every time they visited Earth; in the second instance they were represented on Earth via human doubles (kas) who were considered to be ‘at one' with these bodies. 

The Egyptians deified everything from simple phenomena such as moisture (Tefnut) to our perennial Sun (Re) and the stars inhabiting the night sky. The planets in chaos were no exception. Mars and Venus, who were later joined by the Moon and Mercury, entered into hundreds of encounters with Earth. Each time they approached Earth, they were perceived as divine entities. Yet these were not immortal, cosmological deities like the sun god Re, or the mothering goddesses Hathor and Isis. 

The planet-gods were mortal and became ‘living gods' as they approached Earth, only to die as they moved away to become gigantic stars. This was a temporary death before they were transported to the next world which was believed to be a very real, physical firmament above. The Egyptians simply called it Upper Egypt. Although the planets were mortal, in the hierarchy of the divine cosmos they were awarded the second-highest accolade (the first being immortal godship). They were considered ‘divine' kings and queens sent down from heaven by universal gods to rule the Earth. They lived, died, fought great battles and performed wonderful acts as the true royal family of ancient Egypt.

 

In this male dominated world, Mars, Mercury and the Moon were perceived as ‘warrior' kings while Venus was regarded as the perennial ‘passive' queen or king's ‘great wife'. Mars, Mercury and the Moon ventured closer to Earth than Venus. Their location saw them take on the distinctly male trait of vanquishing incalculable amounts of space debris while Venus, a beautiful and loyal queen, watched from afar. 

The Falcon-god Horus can be traced back to the dynastic period around 3100 BC and is one of the most famous gods of ancient Egypt. Usually depicted as a hawk or as a man with the head of a hawk, Horus was not only a god of the sky but the embodiment of divine kingship and protector of the reigning pharaoh. Gradually the cult of other hawk gods merged with that of Horus, and a complex array of myths became associated with him. 

The pharaohs reigned over Earth for varying lengths of time which accurately paralleled the chronological and historical record. When they dominated the heavens and ruled the Earth as the incarnation of the god Horus, they were given the familiar names and titles we recognise today: 

* Ramesses the Great, Tutankhamun, and Akhenaten were names given to Mars. 

* Tuthmosis III (‘Napoleon' of ancient Egypt) and Horemheb were names given to the Moon. 

* Nefertiti, Nefertari, Hatshepsut and Cleopatra were names given to Venus. 

* Mercury (core of Mars) was initially born as a golden ‘second Sun' (‘disk of the Sun') referred to by the Egyptians as the Aten. After a short period of time, Mercury joined the divine royal bloodline of pharaohnaic kings. One of the names given to pharaohnaic Mercury was Seti after Seth, the god of chaos. This is just a sample of pharaohnaic names – there were over 170 known pharaohs and just as many queens. They were first and foremost names given to planets sent down by the gods to rule the Earth. As such, they were all guises of planetary bodies which inhabited the skies some 4,000 years ago.

 While the planets were deified as the true god-kings and queens of ancient Egypt, the incalculable amounts of space debris such as asteroids, comets, dust and gasses were also observed and deified. The larger chunks of rock and debris orbiting close to and around the astral monarchy were regarded as nobles, concubines, priests, priestesses, viziers, scribes, fan bearers, overseers and other dignitaries. The remaining space debris was perceived as the vile enemy of the monarchy and of Egypt. The evil debris threatened to blot out the Sun (Re) and bring the universe into chaos (Seth). It was the role of the warrior god-king-planets of Mars, Mercury & the Moon to maintain ‘divine order' (ma'at) by ‘battling' up the space debris in an attempt to keep death and darkness and chaos at bay. 

This was a perennial conflict between good and evil that lasted for the duration of pharaohnaic Egypt. Ironically, it was the godly planets that created the enemy in the first place. We need to look among the dust, gasses and other solar phenomena to find the true ‘physical' identity of many of the mythical ‘sky-gods' who played such a prominent role in the lives of the ancient Egyptians. Sky gods such as Amun, Horus, Osiris, Seth, Isis and Hathor were not fictitious gods invented to explain the natural world; they were real, physical gods attributable to phenomena created as a result of cosmic chaos. 

These ‘sky-gods' are no longer visible because chaos has now subsided and the phenomena attributed to certain deities is no longer visible. The exploits of the ‘astral monarchs' were meticulously recorded in the glorious images and ‘sacred' hieroglyphs adorning tombs and temple walls throughout pharonic Egypt. 

Every hieroglyph and image pointed to a time when the planets Mars and Venus (and later Mercury and the Moon) dominated the heavens as pharonic kings and queens. Sacred carvings (hieroglyphs) provided details of their births, deaths, legendary ‘sky' battles, marriages, coronations, elaborate state visits and their interaction with the universal sky gods. They also recorded the actions and movements of the planets as well as 3,000 years of cosmic chaos and have virtually no connection with events on Earth. 

If the true pharaohs were guises given to planetary bodies, how can the remains of numerous pharaohs, queens and other royal dignitaries be found in the Cairo Museum? The reason is that these were mortal ‘doubles' – humans chosen to be at one with astral bodies (kas) to represent and interpret the will of the planetary gods. They were believed to be the incarnation of divine astral kings and queens. 

According to ancient Egyptian custom, when a planet descended from heaven, it was perceived as a god-king of Earth. It was believed that such bodies were transposed entities of royalty and a human king was chosen to be ‘at one' with and act as a human manifestation of this planet. 

Each and every time a planet visited Earth it was represented with a human double. The Egyptians believed that everyone was born with an astral Ka (double) or soul - a real physical double. They would eventually unite at death to undertake a perilous journey to a life of eternity among the stars (akh). This belief is of paramount importance and should be taken face value. 

As the human manifestation of astral bodies, the mortal kings and queens played no part in celestial events but were mere puppets to a far higher order. The true ‘rulers of everything encircled by the Sun' were the planetary ‘god-kings.' They literally held the power of life and death in their hands and their very location deemed them intermediaries between heaven and Earth – gods among gods. 

These kingly planets had a direct line to the sky gods whereas the mortal Egyptians only followed and recorded the doctrine of Heaven. Using ‘sacred hieroglyphs' the Egyptians meticulously carved the life-history of their astral kings and queens. 

This is the history that is staring us in the face! The implications of my proposal are incredible. In effect I am proposing to rewrite history. With the current paradigm set in stone, I realise that I have a daunting task ahead of me covering many disciplines. However, the beauty of this theory is that I will be using accepted and recorded history to prove it. 

Mythology, which most catastrophists use to promote their ideas, will barely be mentioned. I have provided a brief overview of the God King Scenario. I contend that the divine monarchy, the god kings of ancient times, were primarily names given to large planetary red orbs that dominated our skies only 4,000 years ago. The God King Scenario will serve as an umbrella title for a series of books in support of my thesis. 

I now present An Ancient World in Chaos which is the first book in the series. An Ancient World in Chaos provides an overview of the entire scenario. Using simple logic and basic reasoning, I will turn history upside-down by using the most fascinating of ancient civilisations – Egypt. I will show conclusively how planetary chaos is staring us in the face via ancient history. I will take the history of this great nation and transfer it to the heavens just as the Egyptians understood it. I will demonstrate that the whole of pharonic Egypt was a period when the planets Mars, Venus, Mercury and the Moon (and space debris) played havoc with the Earth.

 

The legacy of cosmic chaos spans from the birth of civilization at around 3100 BC through to the birth of Christ. Scholars have looked for the answers to the mysteries of the past at ground level instead of listening to the ancient Egyptians and looking to the skies. A new world dawns in the heavens filled with astral kings and queens who lived and died and interacted with a myriad of enigmatic deities. This is the world of celestial pharonic Egypt and cosmic chaos. At the very least I hope the above has stirred your imagination sufficiently for you to want further information. If so, you can purchase the first book in the series – An Ancient World in Chaos

Tuthmosis (Moon) ... “Son of Ra, of his body, his beloved Tuthmosis, shining like Ra….." Hatshepsut (Venus) ... "Live the Horus: Wosretkew; Favorite of the Two Goddesses; Fresh in Years; Golden Horus: Divine of Diadems; splendid part of her father, Amon-Ra, lord of heaven, who has not been far removed from the father of all gods, shining in brightness like the Horizon-God she illuminates like the sun (Ra), vivifying the hearts of the people, who is exalted in name so that it hath reached heaven." 

Why are such 'shining' traits ignored by scholars? Am I the only one prepared to question these distinctly abnormal qualities apparently given to humans? Am I the only one listening the Ancient Egyptians? These ‘sacred' inscriptions are clearly alluding to celestial bodies - planetary bodies shone like the sun and as a result were naturally deemed as ‘offspring of Ra' (See GKS 4).
