End of Eden The Comet That Changed Civilization

ANCIENT MYSTERIES / EARTH CHANGES "Graham Phillips argues persuasively that Earth encountered a massive comet 3,500 years ago around the time of the Exodus from Egypt. The object appeared twenty times larger than the full moon and was by far the largest comet sighting ever recorded by ancient historians. The worldwide consequences for mankind were devastating. Our own scientific research confirms that the author's theory is completely credible."--Allen West, coauthor of The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes"an extraordinary tour de force . . . "--Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, authors of The Templar Revelation and The Sion RevelationIn the year 2024, the comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is due to pass near Earth again for the first time in 3,500 years. In 1500 B.C., Earth passed through this comet's tail, and in the decade following, cultures the world over began to exhibit significant aggressive tendencies. Civilizations in India, the Middle East, China, Japan, Europe, and Central America suddenly abandoned their peaceful ways and devoted themselves with uncharacteristic fervor to making war on their neighbors and fighting among themselves.But this was not the only effect that is linked to this celestial event. Sudden outbreaks of monotheism--the worship of a single god, a new idea at the time--occurred simultaneously in locales spread widely throughout the world. Most of these monotheistic religions represented their god symbolically as a circle with a series of lines extending below--resembling a simple drawing of a comet.In The End of Eden, Graham Phillips chronicles the sudden shifts in social demeanor and religious philosophy that swept the world in the wake of 12P/Pons-Brooks. He argues thatthere is no other explanation for these changes other than the presence of this massive comet in the skies above Earth. He contends that debris in the comet's tail contaminated the atmosphere with a chemical known to cause aggressive behavior, and that after little more than a decade, worldwide hostility abruptly abated. He also explores how the appearance of a celestial body that outshone the moon would have been interpreted as a significant religious event--the premier appearance of a powerful new god to supplant the deities previously worshipped around the world.Graham Phillips is the author of The Templars and the Ark of the Covenant and Atlantis and the Ten Plagues of Egypt.
