Hmmmm.ping
Early global warming. It was a political issue even in the 7th century BC
Chronologically 700 years later, published another several hundred years later:
Matthew 16:2
He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
I think this was predicted ahead of time, and might relate to that underground city in far eastern Turkey that was found around 10 to 20 years ago.
Might be interesting to see if this also occurred around 12,900 years ago as well, and was what helped that giant glacier over North America melt in epic and quick fashion.
Cool post. Or a possible weakening of the magnetosphere?
There is a site - Suspicious Observers - that digs into this sort of solar paper.
Ben has some interesting insights, well worth spending some time at the site and looking at some of the videos.
Wouldnt all that excess c14 mess up the carbon 14 chronologies? How could c14 be a reliable universal chronometer if the amount in ambient atmosphere can vary from place to place based on solar activities and atmospheric distribution?
Major solar events affectting our climate??? Nah, say it ain’t so!!!! /sarc
The title of the article is overstated — these written records have little to do with helping us predict CME’s or Solar Flares in the modern era. But the correlation between the physical evidence and the observational evidence is very cool.
It is possible that what was considered “an omen” might also be “ conclusions based on the observable data”.
For example, before a Tsunami, the sea retreats far far from shore. That might be, ore scientific times, considered “an omen”.
Hmmmm.Homeric Minimum?
Wrong time period but Ezekiel 1:4–28 type event would fit:
“I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north—an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, 5 and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. “
The Sumerian civilization dwindled approximately 3500 years ago, replaced by peoples from the North and East; a replacement that was often the result of war. There are several lament texts that have been found, each mourning the destruction of a different Sumerian city. These texts are all from the same time period, causing one to wonder if the laments are simply reflections of humans at war, or truly those of wars of the Gods themselves - quarreling over their own ideologies.
