This position was finally torpedoed (or rather, bombarded) once and for all on April 26, 1803, when 3000 meteorites fell at L'Aigle in Normandy, during the daytime, many of which were seen to fall from the sky by the good citizens of the town. Once again, a new intellectual age in the development of humanity had begun with the appearance, this time of the remnants, of the Comet of Typhon. By this time the core of the comet had settled into an orbit just over 21 years that brought it dangerously close to the earth every five orbits. The origin of these 3000 fragments, before it finally broke apart, may have been seen to cross the sun on October 10, 1802, by Fritsche, as reported by Charles Fort in The Book of the Damned. Later observations of what he thought to be the same object were used by Leverrier to calculate the orbit of what he thought to be a planet-sized object between Mercury and the sun. He called it Vulcan, and calculated that the planet would again cross the sun on March 22, 1877. On that date, the object failed to appear, perhaps so deteriorated that it was no longer visible from the earth.

105 years after the event of 1803, on June the 30th of 1908, a much more dangerous piece of this object would fall in Siberia near the Stony Tunguska River. A few hours later and it would have taken out St. Petersburg. This core, shorn of its cometary disguise, may have been seen on the 28th. Charles Fort reports, in New Lands,

"A great luminous object, or a meteor, that was seen at the time of the eclipse of June 28, 1908—'as if to make the date of the eclipse more memorable,' says W. F. Denning (Observatory, 31-288)."

http://neros.lordbalto.com/ChapterTwelve.htm It really isn't rocket science.

"Also, if Anthropogenic Global Warming were true, why hasn't recorded human history, vis-a-vis, the last 1,000 years or so, shown a consistent increase in global temperatures?"

Because approximately 5 times every 600 years over the past 6 millennia there has been a darkening of the atmosphere and decrease in average global temperature due to external (cometary/asteroidal/meteoric) factors. I have been at some pains to map this cycle here: http://neros.lordbalto.com/ChapterEight.htm and the next event will occur, barring the possibility that the objects that fell at Tunguska and Kagarlyk, Ukraine, in 1908 were the last surviving fragments, in 2013.

Just to put another spin on this: There is a long-term cometary-meteoric cycle whose current period is somewhere around 105 years, the last two events of which were the fall of 3000 meteorites at L'Aigle in Normandy on April 26, 1803, and the event at Tunguska, Siberia, on June 30, 1908. That would put the next event toward late August, 2013. End of the world? Probably not. Big surprise if a piece of it lands on New York City? Definitely. Did the Mayans have this particular cycle in mind when they drew up their calendar? Your guess is as good as mine. For all the data, see here: http://neros.lordbalto.com/ChapterEight.htm

Trust me on this one.

Actually, you forgot the event of 1908 in Siberia, which, if it had landed 4 hours later would have taken out St. Petersburg, and the fall of 3000 meteorites in Normandy in 1803, both of which were only a small part of a sequence of cometary near misses that goes back at least to the dendrochronological minimum of 4375 BC. It's really quite amazing we're still here at all:

It's nice to see "science" catching up with the historians (the ancient historians, that is). I've been working on this for a while now. You might want to take a look at http://neros.lordbalto.com/ChapterTen.htm. A rough idea of what the extent of this civilization was can be found here: http://neros.lordbalto.com/ChapterEight.htm. The map is still under development but it's good enough to give a general idea of what was going on. And by the way, the current inhabitants of the Hoggar (or Ahaggar), the Tuareg, are 7-feet tall, so I don't think the food availability argument holds much water, so to speak.

Actually, the books were written, or at least radically edited, by Josiah about the year 621 BC. http://neros.lordbalto.com/ChapterSeven.htm.

So science eventually manages to correct its mistakes while religion never does? I'd say that just about summarizes the difference between science and religion. As for biblical chronology, I've been working on that problem for a while now, and the distortions are pretty obvious and extreme. http://neros.lordbalto.com/Contents.htm This God of yours either has a really good sense of humor or he's a pathological liar. Take your pick.
