Editorial Reviews
Review Allen West, coauthor of The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes : “Graham Phillips argues persuasively that Earth encountered a massive comet 3,500 years ago around the time of the Exodus from Egypt. The object appeared twenty times larger than the full moon and was by far the largest comet sighting ever recorded by ancient historians. The worldwide consequences for mankind were devastating. Our own scientific research confirms that the author’s theory is completely credible.”
Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, authors of The Templar Revelation and The Sion Revelation : “an extraordinary tour de force . . . ”
Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, authors of The Templar Revelation and The Sion Revelation : “In an extraordinary tour de force, Graham Phillips pinpoints a major mystery with important implications for our understanding of the remote past and the origins of ancient religion. Painstakingly researched and soberly presented--but never less than eminently readable--this book provides an answer so explosive that it should instantly ensure itself a place among the great revelations of history.”
Colin Wilson, author of The Outsider and Atlantis and the Kingdom of the Neanderthals: 100,000 Years of Lost History : “This is a very exciting and important book, which suggests a highly plausible reason why organized cruelty seems to have come into the world at a surprisingly late date. I believe Graham Phillips’s ideas are going to cause widespread controversy.”
Book Description Presents compelling evidence that civilizations worldwide became warlike and monotheistic after Earth passed through the tail of a comet in 1500 B.C.
• Explores the violent effect of debris from comet 12P/Pons-Brooks on peaceful cultures such as the Olmec of Mexico and the Megalithic people who built Stonehenge
• Shows how this comet’s appearance was taken as a significant religious event that still has repercussions today
In the year 2024, the comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is due to pass near Earth again for the first time in 3,500 years. In 1500 B.C., Earth passed through this comet’s tail, and in the decade following, cultures the world over began to exhibit significant aggressive tendencies. Civilizations in India, the Middle East, China, Japan, Europe, and Central America suddenly abandoned their peaceful ways and devoted themselves with uncharacteristic fervor to making war on their neighbors and fighting among themselves.
But this was not the only effect that is linked to this celestial event. Sudden outbreaks of monotheism--the worship of a single god, and a new idea at the time--occurred simultaneously in locales spread widely throughout the world. Most of these monotheistic religions represented their god symbolically as a circle with a series of lines extending below--resembling a simple drawing of a comet.
In The End of Eden, Graham Phillips chronicles the sudden shifts in social demeanor and religious philosophy that swept the world in the wake of 12P/Pons-Brooks. He argues that there is no other explanation for these changes other than the presence of this massive comet in the skies above Earth. He contends that debris in the comet’s tail contaminated the atmosphere with a chemical known to cause aggressive behavior, and that after little more than a decade, worldwide hostility abruptly abated. He also explores how the appearance of a celestial body that outshone the moon would have been interpreted as a significant religious event--the premier appearance of a powerful new god to supplant the deities previously worshipped around the world.
It all makes for a great comet ‘tale’.
*groan*
The fault dear Brutus, lies nor within the stars, but within the de-tales...
Yes. She has KITi armor...

I’d rather it be done by local work, but if you gotta outsource, might as well go way out for the source.
Rilly? And just where do suppose the kitty came from in the first place, hmmmmmmm?
I listened to a lot of the show early this am....pretty damn good. I think I will have to get the book.
I had no idea the Siberian explosion was a comet and/or that it exploded in the air above....makes a lot of sense.
Muahahahaha! My plan worked! Evil Zombie Kitty’s place of origin has been pegged!
We can now continue to progress in developing specific counter measures without having to resort to extra-dimensional power sources!
Oooops...
Pinging Zombie Kitty!
Pinging Zombie Kitty!
Pinging Zombie Kitty!
Pinging Zombie Kitty!
Grimmy has narrowed your place of origin down to the whole universe!!!
Warning Warning Warning
Aaaahhhhooooogaaaah
Aaaahhhhooooogaaaah
Aaaahhhhooooogaaaah
Well, he was
Sounds like an interesting book.
Wait a minit.
I thought you said Zombie Kitty was from the same planet we contact to get our spiffy new alien stuff?
Fess up. Was that just disinformation? I’m going to be so disappointed if the evil brain eater lied to me.
I guess we should go ahead and develop the extra-dimensional power sourced weapon systems. That’s gonna kick us over budget by at least $50.
Gonna have to raid the coffee mess for the extra cash. The night crew is not going to like that very much.
Yes, it was probably a comet, although the difference between a comet and an asteroid is getting murky the more we know about these things. Whatever it was exploded high in the atmosphere above Siberia but the flash was seen in London so bright you could read a newspaper at midnight. As to the rest of the author’s conjectures, they are his and he is welcome to them.
Leave the night crew a pound of Paupua New Guinea, and all will be forgiven...
How about if I leave them a pound of regular dirt and just say it’s from Paupua New Guinea?
