I love this stuff.

It seems that every time there is a change in the direction of civilizations there has benn a change in the weather. (3200, 2200, 1200, (all B.C.), 200 A.D.) The times are general but the pattern exists.

Hey guys, you're preaching to the choir. Okay here goes.

The tree rings have recorded major worldwide affecting events at the following times: 3195BC, 2354BC, 1628BC, 1159BC and 540AD. There were also two smaller events at 207BC and 44BC. (Many, Clube, Napier, Bailey, Baillie believe the 540AD event (Start of Dark Ages) was caused by a comet fragment or comet swarm.)

Anything show up that explains the population decline and abandonment of cropland in the Western part of the Roman Empire after 200 A.D.

But I thought Global Warming was caused by the USA and our greedy dependance on oil? How could this have happened without US?

[Mike Darancette]

My theory suggests that the southern part of the Dead Sea is a meteorite crater that catalysmically was born around 2200 BC.

Great post - I love this stuff too and I agree with Blam re: 540 AD too many weird things went on then.

"...ASTRO-METRICS, a new planet formation theory has been posted that combines aspects of both general relativity and theology. Previously material posted on this web site suggest that there is a Jovian sized planet or dark star companion to our Sun. This object, dubbed Vulcan, attracts comets from both the Oort cloud or Kuiper belt casting some of them towards Earth. Some fragmented comets form five identified comet swarms that exist in quasi-stable 3:2 resonant orbits. The period of these swarms is about two thirds Vulcan's period, or 3300 years. They alternately pass through the inner solar system striking the Earth, Moon and other inner planets..."

Blam, thanks for the most excellent link. A great read!

Sorry, I don't know/have much on that period.

Catastrophic Event Preceded The Dark Ages

Here is the bad boy that caused the 2200+-BC problem:

Disaster That Struck The Ancients
There is a picture of the crater in post #16.

According to that schedule, we are due for another right about now.

An overview of my own vision of prehistory and catastrophism.

Other than that, there are compelling reasons for a major shortening of med basin prehistory and chronology. In fact, there is compelling reason to believe that there simply is no real med basin history going back more than about 3000 years, and that everything we thought we had for the second and third millenia BC turns out to be the kind of ghost and double images which Velikovsky described in Ages in Chaos. The most compelling and readable works along these lines which I am aware of are Emmet Sweeneys "The Pyramid Age", and "Genesis of Israel and Egypt". Those two items are must reads for anybody interested in this stuff.

His difficulties were immeasurably increased by the devastation wrought by the plague carried westward by the returning legions of Verus, by famine and earthquakes, and by inundations which destroyed the vast granaries of Rome and their contents.

In the panic and terror caused by these events the people resorted to the extremes of superstition to win back the favour of the deities through whose anger it was believed these visitations were inflicted.

Strange rites of expiation and sacrifice were resorted to, victims were slain by thousands, and the assistance of the gods of the Orient sought for as well as that of the gods of Rome.

This is from the time of Marcus Aurelius, 181 AD, sounds like something happened. The depopulation of the next few centuries can be traced to this time.

"According to that schedule, we are due for another right about now."

Yup. ...and can you imagine what the survivors will write into the religious books? (Let's hope it hits the middle east again, hee, hee)

[blam]

Look for an acid lay (volcano) in the Ice Core data. This could have had dramatic effects, even small local volcanos.

[Little Bill]

I'll give it a look and then see if I can get some backup from something else. I have been suspicious of dating since they got the Thera explosion date wrong by 400 years on the short side.
