The
Bast Theory
Prelude
There are two obvious camps
whenever Ancient Mysteries are debated - those that cite a lack of hard physical
evidence, and those that trust their instincts. Prime examples are the pyramids
and flood myths. These were global phenomenons in ancient times, and the similarities
appear obvious to the layman, which is why so many books on the subjects are published
and sold. Serious academics, who went through university adhering to strict scientific
principals, will argue that there isn't enough evidence to show that ancient societies
were in contact with each other. Flood myths apparantly arose from local flooding,
and global pyramids... it's all just a coincidence, they say.
It
is as if 100 people witnessed a murder, and knew the murderer personally. The
murderer fled. Each witness told their children, who in turn told their children.
Amazingly, two generations later, the murderer returns to hand himself in. Hundreds
of grandchildren of the original witnesses know who he is and that he is guilty,
because of the details they had been told. But he will not be punished, because
there is no physical evidence, and no original witnesses.
There
is little likelihood of anything surviving the ravages of time unless it was specifically
designed to do so. Even today, we are finding that we are unable to contain nuclear
waste forever, and settle for a few hundred years of safety ( see here
). Ancient texts like the Dead Sea Scrolls have come to us only through a fluke
of circumstances.
In the search for answers I have
decided that starting with evidence and then developing theories is the wrong
path. There is unlikely to ever be enough definitive evidence, and if there was,
scientists and academics are the best qualified to do so. So I have begun with
a theory, based on instinct and obviousness, and am now trying to gather enough
proof to convince the majority of humans that are sane, regular people. I have
little desire to change the opinions of academics, but I have respect for some
of their methods and standards - where appropriate I will choose to quote academics
over laymen, and as much as possible I will provide verifiable references for
anything I find. Which means any mentions of Zacharia Sitchin or Erich von Daniken
are unlikely, regardless of how well meaning and intelligent they appear to be.
I
also choose not to mention UFOs. I wouldn't be too surprised if we had alien visitors
from time to time, but evidence is lacking. And it would be difficult for me to
remain a non-fiction author with the number of possibilities they allow.
 This
is just a small portion of my online book, Survive 2012 - a look into possible
ways our world might end, and how to survive. Available in bookstores sometime
before 2012, fingers-crossed... |
The Starting Point
In
its purest form my theory is based on these assumptions:
- Ancient
cultures communicated with each other in some way
- Mysterious Elders have appeared from time to time to guide us
- Pyramids
and mounds had a purpose other than burying royalty
- Evolution
doesn't generally occur in small stages
- Global
cataclysms have occurred within the last 12,000 years
- Our
galactic neighbourhood could be more dangerous than is commonly acknowledged
These
assumptions are certainly not unique, and many books have been written on each,
with perhaps the last being debated less often than the others.
The
Theory
In One Sentence: Every so often a force from
space causes global cataclysms and mass mutations.
- The Anicent Mayan Calendar ends in 2012. We would be very foolish to ignore this warning, a doomsday date that may have been given to the Maya by others
- Pole
shifts have occurred in the past and will occur again. There is no known terrestial
mechanism that can cause pole shifts, so the trigger could well be extra-terrestial.
With the universe being the mystery that it is, we should accept that anything
is possible.
- Mass extinctions and rapid evolution
occur at the same time as cataclysms. Rapid evolutionary change can only be achieved
via extremely high rates of mutations, and by mutations that are not random. Unicorns
and dragons once actually existed, they were mutant strains that didn't survive
very long.
- Cosmic rays cause mutations.
A huge influx of cosmic rays would cause high rates of mutations. Although scientists
are unsure about where all the cosmic rays come from, the source might be the
same as what powers the pole shifts.
- The ancients
were aware of the dangers of cosmic rays and cataclysms and encoded information
about them into their calendars, myths and monuments. I also believe that pyramids
may have been designed as cosmic ray shelters.
All
of these topics are, or will be, dealt with in-depth within these pages.
Why
am I investigating these ideas?
As a human it is not surprising
that I like humans. I don't want them to be wiped out. And I prefer them just
how they are, as opposed to any mutant strain that might occur. The Mayan end-date
is not far off, and if it happens to be the date of the next cataclysm, I would
like to help some of us to prepare, and survive.

Pole shifts can be caused by the cooling of the planets core which can effect the magnetic field,as the core cools this effects the rotation speed and causes loss of the planets atmosphere. This has happened before on planet earth as there have been ironized particles of liquidrock solidafied with the south pole being stronger and alligning these particles this way.this is a possible scenario for why mars ended up as it has.The cooling of its core the loss of its atmosphere and the remains of evidence of water. There was a great special on P.B.S. about this whole earth, Mars thing that would interest you.I think it may have been "NOVA" This special speculated earth will eventually lose all its atmoshere because of its slowly cooling core which will definately cause Pole shifts but this will take a very long time millions or billions of years but Pole shifts could happen when ever the conditions are right and could be moved forward by global warming, ice caps melting ect.

Interesting. I had a dream the world was going to end in 2012. It left a big imprint on me. I can even remember the exact date. 10/16/95 The world isn't going to end per say, but it will be the end to the world as we know it.. The pain & horror I felt was beyond words. I suspect Nuclear Holocaust.. But had no visuals of the events.. Just dates & feelings..

M. Walker:
With the newly discovered evidence of "Planet X" or Sedna as its been named, could this possibly be the cause of cosmic rays that could trigger the pole shifts?
