Abstract

The author examines the events of 11,053 BCE (Before Common Era) +/- 21 yrs (U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, GISP2 data), when our Earth was very seriously damaged by a close approach of the planet Venus wrapped in a huge cloud of space debris. He follows the wild actions of that planet/comet as it causes, and then ends, the cold 1500 year-long Younger Dryas period. In the following millennia, until about 1200 BCE, the return of Venus in comet form at frequent intervals terrorised the people of Earth with varying degrees of destruction. This terror is still recalled today in the myths of many cultures, while remaining poorly understood.

The details provided here give a much improved understanding of our history. We know that ancient inscriptions mentioned only the planets Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. This research answers the question as to why the old records fail to mention the currently bright, and very obvious planet Venus, until after about 800 BCE.

This work utilises the results of archeology and work done by others. It examines successful civilisations and cultures, along with their neighbours, and others afar off, collapsing in ruins at the same time. It reviews details retained in various mythologies and stories from around the world. It describes the celestial “creatures” that are mentioned and how they behave. It takes a large overall view of these world events and hopes to inspire others to fill in even more details and understanding.

During the latest 25,000 years of our history, there were repeated destructions of lands and cities including their peoples and cultures. Events include the worldwide Flood and multiple changes in the orbit and orientation of our planet. There were sudden changes in temperature and wetness in various world locations, sudden land movements, distinct population migrations, extinction of some creatures and possibly peoples, along with the choice of the "gods" that they honoured.

This paper explains how all of these phenomena relate to the effects of the planet Venus in a huge comet form orbiting between the Sun and the orbit of Saturn. It notes phenomena which were inflicted upon the Earth. The majority of the "wild" mythological stories of multiple cultures, that have survived from ancient times, are connected to visits by that Comet. The planet Venus did not take a “permanent” place in our solar system until after 800 BCE, very late in our historical records.

References and Appendices are used to supplement these these writings. The Appendices are essays dealing with a single topic each and provide a greater depth of detail on that topic which frequently applies at more that one spot in the Story. They allow the reader to focus on their relevant details and then return to the overall Story. At this stage in his writing, the author would like to have more visual content such as pictures of locations and diagrams of how actions take place.
