Introduction.

In this page I will list the most important dates, and try to analyse which of the dates is closest to the actual possible date of the cataclism.    What does not mean that other cataclisms did not happen, it could very well be that nobody took note of it, or that the other cataclisms did have survivors capable of taking note in some kind of writing.    This is true for biblic flooding, then this story is told by the word of mouth, and ony very-very later it has been written down, but by then the essential details about veryfiable dates have been lost already.

We should also note that any calendar system based on some number of days will become invalid from the moment onwards where the Earth rotation speed and angle has been changed. (Please note that even a very little change, like a « little » piece of rock in oder of magnitude of 1 Km, will change any day numbering calendar with an error rate of several weeks when the time of the event is back 10'000 years or more)

Today the Denderah zodiac, (I do not realy understand how this thing works, but I will try to find this out later) seems to be the only calendar who uses star positions instead of a certain number of days, and this calendar could have been valid 12'000 years ago or more, and could still be valid today.    Even then when the actual one must be a copy, then it relates to events who ocurred when acient Egyptian Denderah temple did not exist yet.

An other possible calendar system or zodiac system is this famous Nazca « Aerodrome » plane, this however has been certainly be displaced and oriented to in a intire different direction by the cataclism, and points today to nothing known.    It would be interesting to map carfully all the lines, thier horizontal orientation and vertical positions, and then try to find a matching orientation by orienting virtually the plane East-West and Up-Down and try to find matching positions.    But there are unfortunally a lot of possible star positions and as many possible plane positions, which could make the task near to impossible unless you have a Tita-Flopp machine, like a « Cray », to do the job.

Other calendar systems other as our Gregorian Calendar.

A today unknown calendar system, possibly star positions.

Zodiac based calendar, uses star positions, still valid today, seem to repeat about every 98'000 years

Day numbering system, based on about 365 days per year, repeats about every 374'000 years.
Also used by the Aztec, see their calendarstone.

Anciant calendar, marks the even today valid summer solstice.

1'5xx BC Volcanic disaster distroys Thera and the Minoan civilization.

Around 1'500 BC the island Thera is distroyed by a volcanic disaster, from which traces have been found up to in ancient Egypt, and possibly put an end to the Minoan civilization.    This civilization is considered by many scientists as Atlantis, because by dividing all the Plato figures by 10, you will get about the correct time and sizes. (Time 600 BC for the story + 900 additionel years makes 1'500 BC, besides the plane of 55 by 19 Kms, everything would perfectly fit, and the town is then for that time reasonable size to).

This is however in opposition to Platos writing who pretends that a: The strory is true, b: Ancient Athens and Egypt are within the Pillars and Atlantis was Outside the pillars, c: Thera does not have and did not have hot water fountains, d: Thera does and did not have high mountains on the north to protect the South agains the cold wind. than in the Mediterian there is and was no cold wind from the north to protect from.

2'200 BC to 2'700 BC, Biblic flooding?.

The biblic flooding is supposed to have taken place from 2'500 BC to 2'700 BC. (This date is obtained by some bible specialists, and is mainly done by taking the bible and add up the ages of the persons since the birth of JC until Noah)    There is however from this event no visible trace, and none has not been found yet including the ark.    Then when realy something has happened that time, the acient Egyptian culture should have noted it fore sure, and should have left us whith some kind of writing relating such an event, since this event is supposed to be have taken place by about the same time that the Great Pyramids in Guizeh have been build.

2'794 BC Maya calendar points to unknown event.

Inscriptions have been found in some maya temples relating to a 14 day period going from maya date 1.18.5.3.6 to maya date 1.18.5.4.0, which is a today unknow event, it is even unknown whether the Maya culture existed yet this time, and why they metioned this period.    The supprising point of this time period mentioned by the Maya's is that the time matches the time of the flooding found by some bible specialists.

Guizeh constructions.

The Guizeh constructions are beleeved to have been build fromm around 3'500 BC until 2'500 BC, than even when the Egyptian Pharaons did leave correct dating, there are still a lot of scientists how put an other date to the events.

One thing is for sure they were not build before the cataclism (some people pretend that the construction dates should be back as far as 10'500 BC!), then the most are positioned such that they point to today known positions, related to actual known stars, or like the relation towards actual north, in opposite to what displacement by a cataclism or astriod impact should have done, then in that case they would have pointed to nowhere and nothing known like the famous Nazca « Aerodrome » who does not point to any today known position as well.

Maya calendar starts at 3114 BC.



The maya calendar starts at a date around 3114 BC to 3112 BC, this depending how you count the dates and the days, then our calendar is not correct.

Now the question remains, was there a event what made them start a calendar?, or was this maybe a religious raison (Venus - Moon - Mars - Jupiter constellation?) like we did with the birth of JC.    Then anyway thier calendar seems to correspond to particular Venus - Moon - Mars - Jupiter constellations.

Someone should however note that when you count the date whith our today valid Gregorian calendar with correction for the Julian calendar you will obtain 3114 BC, however when you divide the number of days by 365.2425 and you do count a year « 0 » then you obtain 3112 BC and when you do not count a year « 0 » then you obtain 3113 BC , thus pick the one you like!.

All this depends what we can call a year, is a year a complete calendar year, as most of the people (Day-count based calendars), or do we have to consider a complete revolution of the Earth orbit around the Sun as a year (Zodiac based calendars)

9'600 BC Atlantis disaster according Plato.

(Citation) Now in this island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire which had rule over the whole island and several others, and over parts of the continent, and, furthermore, the men of Atlantis had subjected the parts of Libya within the columns of Heracles as far as Egypt, and of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia. This vast power, gathered into one, endeavoured to subdue at a blow our country and yours and the whole of the region within the straits; and then, Solon, your country shone forth, in the excellence of her virtue and strength, among all mankind. She was pre-eminent in courage and military skill, and was the leader of the Hellenes. And when the rest fell off from her, being compelled to stand alone, after having undergone the very extremity of danger, she defeated and triumphed over the invaders, and preserved from slavery those who were not yet subjugated, and generously liberated all the rest of us who dwell within the pillars.

But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea. For which reason the sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable, because there is a shoal of mud in the way; and this was caused by the subsidence of the island.

Dating: Plato wrote the dialogs at 380 BC, the dialogs themselfs go at 600 BC, and the related event go 9'000 years before that, adding up at 9'600 BC.



9'792 BC Denderah zodiac contains special sign in Lion.





The above pictures illustrates a reference in the Denderah zodiac, which seems to have a special sign in Lion which which seems to point to a date in 9'792 BC, the person who analysed this (I cannot find back his/her site, sorry) beleeved that this could be a possible date for the Deluge, the Atlantis desaster, or any other desaster. (I did copy the references, then I do not understand this thing to well, I will try to understand this at some later date).

This could indeed very well possible date, then the date differs « only » 192 years with Plato's date, as well that some orbits were unstable that time due to a Jupiter - Saturn - Uranus and Neptune lignup. (more in the programm listing below)

The world average temperature chart.



As a result of a possible astriod or comet impact we must expect that the world average temperature will drop between 5 °C and 15 °C for a period of several hunderd years due to volcanic dust and smoke in the stratosphere obstructing the sunlight, and should therefore move from a predeluvian level of around - 4 °C to a temporary level of - 10 °C or lower for a several hunderd years, and than rise to the actual level, as illustrated by the second drawing.

The first image shows that around 10'000 BC we do have such temperature profile and that time maches also the Plato dating, as well the Denderah zodiac dating, and we do also have those dates strange lignups in the order: Earth - Moon - Venus - Sun - Jupiter - Saturn - Uranus - Neptune.

We should note that we have an other dip between 5'000 and 3'000 BC, but a relation with an event remains unknown to me as of this moment.



Lignup dates from 11'442 BC to 6'083 BC.

Listing of possible dates of strange lignups in the order: Earth - Moon - Venus - Sun - Jupiter - Saturn - Uranus and Neptune, which could have caused a cataclism.    Please note that all this dates are solar years, in other words the Earth makes a complete orbit around the Sun.    The months reported in the listing are symple fractions of the Earth angular position in degrees divided by 30.    This reflects very closely a month, then there is today no accurate calendar available for that period of time.

I have used January 1, 2000 as reference point « 0 », being the pont of 0 degrees and January 1, 2001 being 360 degrees.    The calculation is done by counting the number of days from there on onwards or backwards, considering that a day goes from noon until noon the next day, and that a year is the period that the Earth completes an orbit around the sun being 365.2425 solar days actually.

You should note that a complet 360 degree turn of the Earth takes 23 hours and 56 minuts, and that this does not match a complete day, than a complete day is 360.9856 degrees due to the Earth movement around the Sun, because it has to turn a little more to face the Sun again.

We should look for a date matching an event in beginning August up to end September latest, or between mid January until end mid March, and this due the position of the Moon orbit inclination and the possible Earth tilt of axis change which could only have taken place in one of those periods of time. (The lign-up dates 9'537 BC and 9'716 BC do match perfectly Plato's dialogs with a difference 63 and 116 years only, supposing that Plato counted solar years to!).

Particulary interesting is a statement in the section flood myths concerning the Cheyenne Indians, the they reported: One particularly hard winter had "great floods" in addition to earthquakes and volcanoes. The people spent the long winter in caves.

Note :
The above lign-ups are calculated within some limits, they are certainly not perfect lign-ups, but they are sufficiently close to be considered as a complete lign-ups.
