The Source Field Investigations (62 page)

Did you catch that? The Sumerian cycle is 6.2 million years long. Ten of those cycles are 62 million years long—which is exactly the length of time Muller and Rohde discovered as a cycle of sudden species evolution in the fossil record. Now we may be seeing yet additional information suggesting that the ancients knew about these cycles—even on a galactic level. I was truly astonished when I first realized how this Sumerian cycle fit in with the evolution we see within the fossil record. It really does demonstrate how knowledgeable our ancient ancestors were—and how much of a story there is behind the 2012 prophecies.

Let’s continue with Chatelain, as this isn’t even half of what he discovered with this cycle.

When I first read this part in 1993, I didn’t understand what the precession was, and I found it all highly frustrating. But now I know. And it is very exciting.

The Sumerians—an ancient culture—were tracking a cycle that is a direct subdivision of the 62-million-year cycle in the fossil record. This 62-million-year cycle also shows up as a galactic octahedron, or cube, that our solar system see-saws through as we travel along. Better yet, this same Sumerian cycle—one-tenth of the 62-million-year fossil cycle—can directly subdivide into the precession of the equinoxes by a factor of 240. Knock off the zero and you have twenty-four, which is two times twelve—and we’ve already seen how prevalent twelve-sided geometry is. We may now have a unified model that directly links the precession to the 62-million-year evolution cycle.

How did the Sumerians figure this out? And let’s not forget that this number was expressed not in years, not in months, not in weeks, not in days, not in hours, not in minutes, but in seconds. The complexity is astonishing, and yet it all fits together. And that’s just the beginning of all the goodies that are hiding in this cycle.

Chatelain had done enough research to know that the ancients were after a holy grail of their own—the true Master Number that all other cycles, including every orbit of every planet, were being driven by.

Now he sets up the rules for how this Great Constant works.

Even Pluto, way out at the far edge of the solar system, moving so slowly, fits this cycle perfectly with only a very small tweak.

Pluto goes through 25,000 cycles every time this 6.2-million-year Nineveh Constant happens. Four of these Nineveh cycles add up to 24.8 million years, which seems close to Raup and Sepkoski’s 25-to-26-million-year cycle in the fossil record. Forty of these Nineveh cycles harmonize with the 250-million-year orbit of the galaxy, if the exact value is 248 million years. It really does seem that everything fits. The Maya calendar may have used the 260-day tzolkin as a much smaller version of this master cycle to serve a similar purpose. Elsewhere in the same book, Chatelain gives stunning proof that the ancient Maya civilization also had a number that allows us to calculate the Great Constant of the solar system.

The Maya calendar cycles have therefore been clearly correlated with geometric phenomena that begin at the quantum level, extend through into the behavior of the earth and the rotation of its dodecahedron-shaped core, move on through the relationships of the solar system, and now appear to extend through the entire galaxy. These geometries create coherence, and since they are structures in time, they may allow for seemingly enormous blocks of time to be traversed instantaneously—and allows dinosaurs to appear in the present-day earth. This also suggests that when we finally move into a new sphere of galactic energy, many more portals of time will open up to us. The transformations in the solar system, as well as the enigmas of rapidly increasing human evolution, suggest that major changes are under way.

Were the American founding fathers quoting an accurate prophecy when they referred us to the Sibylline mystery texts from Virgil’s Fourth Eclogue—predicting a Golden Age in which “heroes and gods comingle” and we all gain these supernatural abilities, so that “the Golden One shall arise again in the whole earth?” Are we being led through a galactic evolution, and have not yet seen the full extent of who and what we will become? I will now share a bit more of the ancient traditions with you and let you decide for yourself.

CHAPTER NINETEEN

T
hroughout this book, we’ve been trying to discover whether the 2012 prophecies of a Golden Age are genuine—and we’ve come up with a very clear case for DNA and consciousness evolution, as well as the possibility that some sort of dimensional shift may be going on as well. So let’s finish our quest to understand the legends of a Golden Age. If we want to know how the tradition got started in Western culture, we need to go back to the oldest literature in the Western world that described it—the classical literature of Greek and Roman times—and search for clues to reveal the even more archaic roots of these Golden Age prophecies.

In 1952, H. C. Baldry wrote “Who Invented the Golden Age?” for the
Classical Quarterly
journal—a truly heavy-duty piece of scholarship, showing complete fluency in multiple languages, often without even offering any translations. You have to be a major scholar to get through this paper without the help of a translator, including the ability to read the Greek alphabet and language. Amid all this intellectual chest-thumping, Baldry gives a remarkably thorough analysis of how the idea of a Golden Age came into being.

Hesiod is believed to have lived around 800 B.C.—and this is a particularly fascinating quote. It implies that we, as humans, once lived in a state that was far better than what we experience now. Baldry’s research is implying that during the Golden Age—the age of Time—we experience a state of being that has now been “hidden from us” by the gods. Bear in mind that since this is a mythological retelling of ancient information, in this case the gods may represent nothing more than natural cycles of earth, Sun and galaxy that affect our state of being and our level of evolution.

The Golden Age represented a “Paradise inhabited by the souls of the blessed.” Baldry mentions a common source that we can trace all the Golden Age prophecies back to—namely the primordial “Indo-Iranian myth” which gave rise to both Zoroastrianism and Hinduism. Both religions appear to be talking about the same hero-king, the name slightly changed depending on which religion you look at. His name was Yima in Zoroastrianism and Yama in the Vedas.

We’ve already gotten a good look at the Hindu legends of the Golden Age in Part One, but we haven’t explored Zoroastrianism at all. The Traditional Zoroastrianism Web site features an extremely comprehensive collection of research articles on the subject, and in “History of the Ancient Aryans” by Porus Homi Havewala,

we find out more about this primordial Indo-Iranian civilization that later (probably much later) splintered off into Zoroastrianism and Hinduism:

The great nineteenth-century Indian scholar Bal Gangadhar Tilak concluded that the Zoroastrian Vendidad was the “most ancient historical scripture” in the world. The name Zoroaster is actually a Greek pronunciation of “Zarathushtra,” so both names refer to the same man. Zarathushtra allegedly made contact with Ahura Mazda, the Zoroastrian equivalent of God—but according to the Vendidad, this was only a more recent reconnection.

The author then describes the prior Golden Age in which “there be neither cold wind nor hot wind (neither extreme winter or summer), [and] there be no sickness nor death,” in which people are “undying and unwanting, and gloriously happy.” We then have a very interesting statement about time: “In the first 1,000 years of his rule, Yima the splendid enjoined righteous order on his Aryan subjects. He controlled invisible time itself, making it so much large in size so as to praise and spread the righteous law.”

It is very interesting to speculate on what was meant by controlling “invisible time itself.” Given what we now know, this carries much more potential impact than most people may realize. Graham Hancock points out similar statements from Egyptian texts in his introduction to this book—that life is maintained by the “progress and movement of time”—and these words now sound very cutting-edge.
