PATTERNS WITHIN THE TAPESTRY
The investigation identified individual patterns fitting into a total tapestry. The patterns occurring at 2300 BC were as follows:
● Climatic conditions markedly changed in all regions of the Earth – specifically, a well-documented general cooling of the Earth occurred. The climatic changes were abrupt, they were simultaneous, and they remained to the present time.
● Crustal movements and earthquakes were reported on a global basis. In fact, most settlements of the advanced cultures were destroyed by earthquake. In less developed regions where earthquake activity was not obvious from collapsed structures, direct geological evidence exists.
● Large scale cultural disruptions were earthwide. Existing cultures disappeared and new cultures appeared. Major migrations determined by linguistic analysis are documented for South America, Europe and the Far East.
● A very noticeable increase in glacial activity occurred. "Neoglacial" designations have been applied to many regions.
● There was an apparent decrease in global sea level. Sea levels decreased along the coastlines of all continents as well as islands in the Pacific.
● Flow patterns changed in all ocean areas, very likely related to climatic changes.
● A pattern of transients and unusual discontinuities were found in the Earth’s geomagnetic field, as well as abrupt changes in magnetic pole drift.
● There was a peak in megalithic (stone) circle construction in Britain, and megalithic circles were built in Europe, China, Japan, the Middle East and North America.
● Star charts independently appeared for the first time in India, Mesopotamia, Egypt and China even under conditions of cultural turmoil.
● Commemorations of an event involving fire, death and destruction were observed by cultures earthwide in the autumn when the Pleiades constellation rose in the east at time of sunset. This was the time of year where the Earth's orbit intersected the orbit of the Taurid stream.
● The first appearance of essentially all mythology occurred. In all cases, the mythology describes a bombardment from the sky, flooding, and a ring circling the Earth.
Repeating the statement at the beginning – this all happened at 2300 BC.
