PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Forgotten Civilization: The Role of Solar Outbursts in Our Past and Future

Building upon his revolutionary theory that the Sphinx dates back much further than 2500 BCE geologist Robert Schoch reveals scientific evidence of advanced civilization predating ancient Egypt Sumeria and Greece as well as the catastrophe that destroyed it nearly 12000 years ago and what its legacy can teach us about our own futureCombining evidence from multiple scientific disciplines Schoch shows how the last ice age ended abruptly in 9700 BCE due to coronal mass ejections from the Sun He explains how these events eradicated the civilization of the time and set humanity back thousands of years only to reemerge around 3500 BCE with scattered memories and nascent abilities He explores within this framework how many megalithic monuments underground cities and ancient legends fall logically into place as well as the reinterpreted Easter Island rongorongo texts and the intentional burial 10000 years ago of the Göbekli Tepe complex in Turkey Schoch reveals scientific evidence that shows how history could repeat itself with a coronal mass ejection powerful enough to devastate modern society.

Despite the end of the Feed-in Tariffs and the uncertainties around VAT and the Smart Export Tariff, solar panels are an attractive investment for some people, particularly the relatively well-off with high daytime energy consumption (e.g. retirees and stay-at-home parents). This book fills a void. Never before has a comprehensive history of phage therapy-a once-neglected, now resurgent field-been written. Kuchment writes from the perspective of the eager student of history for the common reader. From an award-winning journalist at The Atlantic, these searing essays make a damning case that cruelty is not merely an unfortunate byproduct of the Trump administration but its main objective and the central theme of the American project.“No writer better demonstrates how American dreams are so often sabotaged by American history. Adam Serwer is essential.” (Ta-Nehisi Coates)“Trump summoned the most treacherous forces in American history and conducted them with the ease of a grand maestro.Like many of us, Adam Serwer didn’t know that Donald Trump would win the 2016 election. But over the four years that followed, the Atlantic staff writer became one of our most astute analysts of the Trump presidency and the volatile powers it harnessed. The shock that greeted Trump’s victory, and the subsequent cruelty of his presidency, represented a failure to confront elements of the American past long thought vanquished.In this searing collection, Serwer chronicles the Trump administration not as an aberration but as an outgrowth of the inequalities the United States was founded on. Serwer is less interested in the presidential spectacle than in the ideological and structural currents behind Trump’s rise - including a media that was often blindsided by the ugly realities of what the administration represented and how it came to be. While deeply engaged with the moment, Serwer’s writing is also haunted by ghosts of an unresolved American past, a past that torments the present. In bracing new essays and previously published works, he explores white nationalism, myths about migration, the political power of police unions, and the many faces of anti-Semitism. For all the dynamics he examines, cruelty is the glue, the binding agent of a movement fueled by fear and exclusion. Serwer argues that rather than pretending these four years didn’t happen or dismissing them as a brief moment of madness, we must face what made them possible. Without acknowledging and confronting these toxic legacies, the fragile dream of American multiracial democracy will remain vulnerable to another ambitious demagogue.Listening Length: 7 hours and 35 minutes Graham Hancock\'s multi-million bestseller Fingerprints of the Gods remains an astonishing, deeply controversial, wide-ranging investigation of the mysteries of our past and the evidence for Earth\'s lost civilization. Twenty years on, Hancock returns with the sequel to his seminal work filled with completely new, scientific and archaeological evidence, which has only recently come to light...Near the end of the last Ice Age 12,800 years ago, a giant comet that had entered the solar system from deep space thousands of years earlier, broke into multiple fragments. Some of these struck the Earth causing a global cataclysm on a scale unseen since the extinction of the dinosaurs. At least eight of the fragments hit the North American ice cap, while further fragments hit the northern European ice cap. The impacts, from comet fragments a mile wide approaching at more than 60,000 miles an hour, generated huge amounts of heat which instantly liquidized millions of square kilometers of ice, destabilizing the Earth\'s crust and causing the global Deluge that is remembered in myths all around the world. A second series of impacts, equally devastating, causing further cataclysmic flooding, occurred 11,600 years ago, the exact date that Plato gives for the destruction and submergence of Atlantis.The evidence revealed in this book shows beyond reasonable doubt that an advanced civilization that flourished during the Ice Age was destroyed in the global cataclysms between 12,800 and 11,600 years ago. But there were survivors - known to later cultures by names such as \'the Sages\', \'the Magicians\', \'the Shining Ones\', and \'the Mystery Teachers of Heaven\'. They traveled the world in their great ships doing all in their power to keep the spark of civilization burning. They settled at key locations - Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, Baalbek in the Lebanon, Giza in Egypt, ancient Sumer, Mexico, Peru, and across the Pacific where a huge pyramid has recently been discovered in Indonesia. Everywhere they went these \'Magicians of the Gods\' brought with them the memory of a time when mankind had fallen out of harmony with the universe and paid a heavy price. A memory and a warning to the future...For the comet that wrought such destruction between 12,800 and 11,600 years may not be done with us yet. Astronomers believe that a 20-mile wide \'dark\' fragment of the original giant comet remains hidden within its debris stream and threatens the Earth. An astronomical message encoded at Gobekli Tepe, and in the Sphinx and the pyramids of Egypt,warns that the \'Great Return\' will occur in our time...

This book will awaken the explorer in all of us. --Chris Anderson, Head of TEDNational Geographic Fellow and TED Prize-winner Sarah Parcak pioneers the young field of satellite archaeology, using futuristic tools to unlock secrets from the past and transform how discoveries are made. As an archaeologist, she has worked on remote sensing projects across twelve countries and four continents, using multispectral and high-resolution satellite imagery analysis to identify thousands of potential archaeological sites. These include previously unknown settlements, roads, fortresses, palaces, tombs, and even potential pyramids. She presently directs major crowdsourcing efforts to map ancient civilizations across Peru and India.In Archaeology from Space, Sarah describes the field\'s evolution, major discoveries, and future potential. From surprise advancements after the declassification of spy photography, to a new map of the mythical Egyptian city of Tanis, she shares her field\'s biggest discoveries, revealing why space archaeology is not only exciting but also essential to the preservation of the world\'s ancient treasures for future generations.Sarah\'s stories take readers back in time and across borders, into the day-to-day lives of ancient humans who displayed grit, ingenuity, and brilliance across the millennia. We share those same traits, and those same underlying genes. If we heed the lessons of the past, we can shape a vibrant future. Enormous skyscrapers will house residents and workers who happily go for weeks without setting foot on the ground. Streamlined, hurricane-proof houses will pivot on their foundations like weather vanes. The family car will turn into an airplane so easily that a woman can do it in five minutes. Our wars will be fought by robots. And our living room furniture—waterproof, of course—will clean up with a squirt from the garden hose.In Yesterday\'s Tomorrows Joseph J. Corn and Brian Horrigan explore the future as Americans earlier in the last century expected it to happen. Filled with vivid color images and lively text, the book is eloquent testimony to the confidence—and, at times, the naive faith—Americans have had in science and technology. The future that emerges here, the authors conclude, is one in which technology changes, but society and politics usually do not.The authors draw on a wide variety of sources—popular-science magazines, science fiction, world fair exhibits, films, advertisements, and plans for things only dreamed of. From Jules Verne to the Jetsons, from a 500-passenger flying wing to an anti-aircraft flying buzz-saw, the vision of the future as seen through the eyes of the past demonstrates the play of the American imagination on the canvas of the future.
