The more we discover the more it seems that what we think we know just doesn't add up. Neither a believer in the creation theory for the beginning of the world at 4004BCE, not Darwin's theory of s slow and steady evolutional development, I keep finding evidence for a more violent and staggered pattern for lie development. The Piora Oscillation paradigm is one such reason.
It obvious that earth has sustained several major and traumatic catastrophic events over time. One doesn't have to go back millions of years, to the Chicxulub asteroid that hit neaer Cozumel, wiping out the dinosaurs to find such an event. The years 3113-14BCE will work. I give two years because depending upon the source used, those two years seem to keep coming up with neither one predominating. However, when we're taking 5,000+ years ago, who's going to argue over one year?
Not me! :-)
The Piora Oscillation was an abrupt cold and wet period in the climate history of the Holocene Epoch; it is generally dated to the period of 3200 to 2900 BCE which puts it nicely into the beginning of our date. Some researchers associate the Piora Oscillation with the end of the Atlantic climate regime, and the start of the Sub-Boreal, in the Blytt-Sernander sequence of Holocene climates. Ahh, but we're getting too technical now. Let's start over.
The Piora Oscillation was named after the Val Piora or Piora Valley in Switzerland, where it was first detected; some of the most dramatic evidence of the Piora Oscillation comes from the region of the Alps. Similar evidence comes from California and elsewhere; some changes in flora proved permanent. In the Middle East, the surface of the Dead Sea rose nearly 300 feet, then receded to a more usual level. And just what is this "evidence"?
Sulphur! Yep, sulphur, that stuff that comes from volcanic eruptions, etc.
Geo-climatologists have noted this year for the massive, planet-wide sulphate deposits. The only obvious answer is massive (probably mroe than one) volcanic eruption and maybe tied to a comet impact or near miss asteroid, or a combination of all the above. Could this have been teh work of Oljato? Who? :-)
The study of the near-Earth object 2201 Oljato has resulted in many surprises in the decade in which it has been examined. Its orbital properties have been associated with meteor showers, and its modeled orbital evolution is chaotic, a property which might indicate a history related to comets. Many feel it made a visit to earth around 3,100. Would you believe more specifically, 3113-14?
Tree ring study affirms a major physical geological event. There's also evidence of a major methane peak during this period that's indicative of a huge meteorite swarm or the possible break up of a comet in the inner parts of our solar system. I could go on but let me rest my case- for today, and say. The Earth's past has not been a pretty picture and Piora's Oscillation is just one more piece of evidence that says tomorrow's might not be as well.
Unless............ :-)
As a spiritual-futurist, I interpret current events in light of possible macro-universal forces at play leading up to 2012, but not limited to it.
