Who decided that everyone was so totally peaceful prior to 1500?
My recollection is that China had major conflicts around 2,000 BC. Also the Hititites or Assyrians were doing a lot of fighting around then. The Egyptians had their innings with the Nubians as well. Additional catastrophe info. With the draining of the Iraq marshes by Saddam Hussein, there has been discovered a meteor crater about 2 miles in diameter, with the age about 4,000 years old. It would have really messed up the neighborhood, and triggered all kinds of conflict.
Men have always killed other men for property and power. No comet tail was needed for this chief characteristic of our race.
It would have been quite remarkable to see something 20 times brighter than the moon. At that time, it might have been a sign from God. I really don’t have the background to know. Did tribes/societies that were docile suddenly become warlike in several areas of the planet at the same time?
Awesome-thanks
Here it is:
The Santorini caldera is 10s of 1000s of years old, and there was no eruption in the 17th c BC.
*shrug* The car didn't know the difference...
Did you happen to notice that the license plate number at the end of the movie - DMK - was the same as the initials of the guy who beat Regina and got 6th top score on the video game at the beginning?
Ratboy did...
Just clicked this old post, 2007. Did people know about the huge crater in the Iraq Marshes that was formed around 2,000 BC by that year? There was a major eruption of Mt. Etna 1500 BC +/-50 years. A heavy ash cloud falling over the upper Nile could have led to physteria bloom, blood red water, dead cattle, plague of toads, flies gnats, skin infections,etc. If there was a more general volcanic instability in the region, Hail could happen from volcanic dust encouraged clouds, and locusts sweep in from the desert according to their own reasons. Other regional volcanic activity could cause several days of darkness, and eating undercooked moist bread would be more likely to kill than eating dry unrisen flatbreads for a week, as would eating roasted meat, not boiled or raw. Regional volcanic activity could have provided a pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night. Also there is a phenomenon called inflation that could have uplifted the waters dividing Egypt from Sinai and let it fall again. In Japan when Mt. Usu erupted a few decades ago, the land inflated around 300 feet. So that is my scientific theory and I am sticking to it. Exodus 12:40 says the Israelites lived in Egypt 430 years (the NIV Bible says about 1876 to 1446) which could fit with the Mt. Etna scenario.
It’s around here somewhere... hmm...
Seems like the researcher’s name was Prouty... ah well, backup plan:
