I've just returned from an incredible event, 20 years in the making, exploring the Channeled Scablands region of Washington State with Randall Carlson and friends.
Randall has been researching this vast geological complex for years, piecing together the undeniable evidence of catastrophic flooding which may be linked to the impact of massive fragments from a comet or meteor into the ice sheets that gripped North America around 12,000 to 13,000 years ago.
This event, which may also have sent fragments into the sun itself, initiating deadly solar outbursts, may well be linked to the destruction of an extremely sophisticated ancient culture (or cultures) now all but completely forgotten, and whose existence is proclaimed by archaeological evidence around the world, as well as by the evidence that virtually every culture on our planet, from every inhabited continent and island, preserves ancient wisdom in the form of sacred stories and sacred scriptures which all use the very same profound world-wide system of celestial metaphor.
It was an honor to be part of this unforgettable expedition, which was organized by the podcast teams at The Grimerica Show and the Brothers of the Serpent, and most of all by the heroic efforts of Brad Young, who has been exploring this region with Randall for decades.
It was equally an honor to meet everyone who came to this event and to interact on a host of widely-varied topics discussion. We had the opportunity to go out and look at stars underneath the cold Washington sky on different nights and observe some of the patterns which connect the ancient myths, scriptures and sacred stories of all cultures.
This world-wide connection, supported by abundant evidence, predates the earliest extant texts we have from the cultures of Mesopotamia and dynastic Egypt, and comes alongside the overwhelming archaeological evidence which points to the existence of some now-forgotten culture or cultures in humanity's ancient history. Conventional academia continues to pointedly ignore this powerful evidence, even as it continues to pile up with each new discovery.
The overwhelming evidence of catastrophe in the distant past may well play an integral part of this story, and the breathtaking geology of central Washington's Scablands seems to testify as witness to whatever catastrophe may have severed us from our more distant predecessors.
I hope that you will have an opportunity to take part in one of these amazing events in the future, if at all possible!
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
