Earth Under Fire: Humanity's Survival of the Apocalypse

Ancient myth and esoteric lore from around the world tell frightening tales of humanity's suffering through destruction by fire and flood, legends of catastrophe so extreme and so pervasive that now we tend to discount them as imaginative exaggerations. Paul La Violette thought so too, until he discovered an ancient time-capsule cryptogram written in the constellations that related the galactic cause of these events. In this book he explains how this scientifically advanced message combines with ancient esoteric lore to alert us to a cyclical cosmic disaster -- one that could recur today virtually without warning. In this book, Dr LaViolette elegantly weaves sobering accounts from ancient legends together with recent scientific data to reconstruct the details of a tragedy that plagued mankind for endless generations with periods of persistent darkness, frigid cold, searing heat, and mountainous floods, from which only a few survived.Unravel the mysterious riddle of the Sphinx; Learn the memorial significance of the Orion constellation, the Pleiadian rites, and the Minoan bull-leaping ceremony; Understand what caused the mammoths to suddenly die and freeze in the Arctic and what caused the extinction of the ice age mammals.
