Robert Schoch, Ph.D. | Ancient Cataclysms and Forgotten Civilizations | Part 1 of 2

It's significant to hear someone from academia talk about solar flares and physical symptoms like insomnia. In an interview on Veritas Radio, Dr. Robert Schoch, a tenured professor at Boston University, says, "Oh yeah, it seems to be affecting people, there are definitely mood changes and it affects sleep patterns, that sort of thing." We are currently in a solar maximum, and that means the Sun is very active. Robert Schoch's book looks like a timely read -- it's called Forgotten Civilization, the Role of Solar Outbursts in Our Past and Future. He talks about Easter Island and its strange fall out shelters -- were these from solar events? And he weaves an interdisciplinary theory about solar events that altered Earth at the end of last Ice Age (approx. 9700 BCE). Mel Hostalrich, the interviewer, asks Schoch if earlier societies were more in touch with astrology and astronomy to determine the future. "Oh yes, absolutely, I think when you look at ancient cultures, ancient civilizations, ancient legends around the world....people were in touch with the larger cycles of time, the larger cycles of nature. I think we see glimmerings of that in a number of ancient legends, which are more than just legends....but ancient concepts." He notes then the turn over of the Mayan calendar, and the attention there, and how it synchs with increased solar activity. The Earth has had dramatic changes, he says, that are confirmed by geologic evidence, and that show up as "legends" of the ancients. "That's something the ancients were attuned to, and we have lost." I share this now as someone sensitive to this call and response from the Sun to Earth -- the flaring and geomagnetic storms. It's rare to see it framed like this in the context of the longer cycles.

Scientific confirmation of advanced civilization at the end of the last ice age, the solar catastrophe that destroyed it, and what the evidence means for our future * Demonstrates, based on the 12,000-year-old megalithic complex of Gobekli Tepe, that advanced civilization extends thousands of years further back than generally acknowledged * Examines the catastrophic solar outbursts that ended the last ice age, wiping out antediluvian civilization and incinerating much of the evidence of that period * Reveals data that show solar outbursts powerful enough to devastate modern society could return in the 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 12,000 years ago and what its legacy can teach us about our own future. Combining 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. These solar outbursts unleashed electrical/plasma discharges upon Earth and triggered volcanic activity, earthquakes, fires, and massive floods as glaciers melted and lightning strikes released torrential rains from the oceans. 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, 10,000 years ago, of the Gobekli 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. Weaving together a new view of the origins of civilization, the truths behind ancient wisdom, and the dynamics of the planet we live on, Schoch maintains we must heed the megalithic warning of the past and collectively prepare for future events.
