I agree, we can all avoid bad events in future if we change our collective consciousness and understand why is something happening and then act accordingly to that understanding.

It's really our choice if we approach next years with fear and war or with something more positive. Future is not fixed and we always can change lanes.

The interesting thing about the precession of the equinoxes is that historically speaking, the turn from one age to the next *did* include some fairly huge mental, spiritual and social changes - the easiest one to grasp being the age of Pisces and the rise of Christianity.

But yes, as someone else mentioned, Aquarius is about 500 years away yet - though it's considered in some circles that the final 10 degrees of an age portends the next age to some degree - those final 10 degrees started around the 1930's for us.

If you were to jump say, a thousand years from now. And you were an archaeologist. Could you, by reading our texts, or looking at dates on monuments, figure out with relation to your own calendar, when our dates signified?

The Egyptian calendar can be determined, since their calendar was based upon astronomical observations, such as the 365 day cycle of Sirius. The egyptians were also well aware of the processions of the equinoxes.

Mayan prophecies of the Cortez landing are said to exist. Are they lies written much later? The Koggi I mentioned seemed sincere when I saw the elder on tv telling of the return of 'younger brother.' Has he been duped?

I am not convinced the S. American prophecies are all untrue fabrications. If so, there are many different cases of such dishonesty, and I feel that if one calls another a liar, they should give good reasons for such accusations.

Pseudo historians are not always wrong, and the 'experts' not right all the time.

Your reference to wounded knee was hard to understand. Is it your view that the medals were not given? Or that they were deserved? Or that the event itself is not really true? Some groups have called for the medals to be taken away from the cavalrymen, in an attempt to apologize for the wanton slaughter they eagerly took part in that day.

We already know that Quetzlcoutl is a comet, and you can bet it will be returning.

. . . "The Sun of Air," Ehcatonatiuh, closed with a furious wind, which destroyed edifices, uprooted trees, and even moved the rocks. . . . Quetzalcoatl appeared in this third Sun, teaching the way of virtue and the arts of life; but his doctrines failed to take root, so he departed toward the east, promising to return another day. With his departure "the Sun of Air" came to its end, and Tlatonatiuh, "the Sun of Fire," began, so called because it was expected that the next destruction would be by fire. (emphasis added) (ibid, p. 91)

This tradition seems to imply that Quetzalcoatl (the feathered serpent) departed to the east in the last great period of cosmic destruction. A recent palaeoecological study of lakes in the Caribbean region (D.A. Hodell, 1991) reveals a sudden onset of dry conditions about thirty-two hundred years ago, this finding adds to an already robust collection of data which suggest a global perturbation of climate around that time period (1200 - 1000 B.C.E.). It is an intriguing possibility that cultures throughout the world experienced hardships during this era due to a large input of extraterrestrial material.

Though definitive dating of protohistoric impact events can only come from careful stratigraphic work, there are some rather strong indicators that a nasty encounter such as suggested here occurred about 1159 B.C.E. This is not an arbitrary date for it marks the beginning of a sharp decline in the annual growth of Irish bog oak which lasted almost two decades and for that reason stands out in the over seven thousand year long dendrochronological record based on this species of tree (see M.G.L. Baillie and M.A.R. Munro 1988). The middle of the twelfth century also, according to widely accepted chronologies based on eclectic sources (such as Egyptian), marks a time period of general discord. A stark specimen of pertinent tie-in is related to chapter ten in the book of Joshua, where perhaps the most widely known mention of helio-halting occurs (Joshua 10: 12-14).
