Dear Mr. Donnelly:

I read the abbreviated version of your article. Research I conducted in SE Utah supports a climatic "perturbation" around 5000 B.P. In a box canyon, massive alluvial deposition was followed by lake development. The basal date of the alluvial unit (5180 B.P.) is essentially the same as the basal date of the lake deposits (5110 B.P.), about 1.5 meaters above. The (earliest) lake unit is relatively small (c. 30 cm thick), but is rich in diatoms and deserves inspection at close intervals. Anyway, I'd be glad to provide details if your interested. Also, you may want to check a "blip"

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

Interesting information. It would be a good study to look at the data from the perspective of planetary sea levels. Using your data set and others you could do a plot of planetary sea levels and plot the coastlines for the different levels versus the known topography of the earth. This would allow the study of potential paleosites of human habitation.

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

Not convincing at all! there are lots of climatic events which will eventaully show up in the records happening around the globe at any one time(in a geological sense) The timing of your events are to widely spaced to indicate anyone global event and also there are more records going back to this time including some very high resolution and sensitive reocords where events dont show up. Major global events eg galcial cycles leave tons of evidence, lesser events eg the younger dyras are leave less evidence and are hotly debated. I think the appx fit is cooincidence but I would love to

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

OK. So we're getting the evidence that the flood myths which turn up in geographically disparate cultures have a basis in fact. What major volcanic eruptions or impact craters near the poles have been identified that would cause rapid melting of part of the ice cap-- causing floods and the Dead Sea to rise 300ft??

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

An excellent presentation and very interesting. Here are some constructive criticism points INTENDED primarily to help validate your concepts when presented to a "open" group of people. I read the "comments" section and would like to offer my suggestions. Please do not be offended. [1] Avoid from making any conclusions. I would suggest that you have a section called "Conclusions" and state simply that "... evidence appears to point to an event that occured at 3200 BC... " and "...the cause of this event and the extent of its' effect is still undetermined..." as well as "... it is easy to make some conclusions based on the limited amount of information presented... " and finally, "... I must refrain from making any conclusions at this time." [2] One of your charts is presented as a mirror image and needs to be corrected. [3] It would be VERY intersting if you were to compare a timeline of known meteriorite craters and your information. Again, your web site is very interesting and is well researched. My comments are only concerning the presentation to the population. It has been my experience that if you present an overwhelming amount of data and information that "speeks for

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

I do not believe that the information provided here is a valid comparison between the religious and scientific aspects of the events that occurred in 3200 BC. It is my belief that it is possible that a great flood covered the earth, however, how can anybody say that it was God's work. If there is a God, which I don't think so, would he really kill millions of people. Maybe it's just me but science rules over religion any

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

I am looking at splitting of megalithic stones! It seems that these stones were splitted by intent. In many theories ones hears that ice could break these stones. The question is, was there enough coldness around 3200 CalBC? This coldness should be available in Northern Europe (Danmark, The Netherlands, Poland and Germany), were many paasage graves were build and sometimes splitted stones pop up. Can people say something about this? Also have a look at

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

The end of the world has already begone in subtle ways. In the bible it says that the end of the world will begene with greed.It also says that it will end with the numbers 666. Now in our modourne day we use a system of barr codes. Bar codes are seperated by three lines, each line is seperated by a six, 666. Also the planets are startingto line up in a christian cross. In a couple of years this cross will complete.This is not astrology it is astrology, it is astronomy.I do not no what this means, but itca't be good. Also when this happens the bigest floods in the world will begin. Also when Worln War 3 begins, anbd theres nuclear war, a lot of us our bound todie. There is also thec hance that a comet or asteroids hit the earth and we all die simultaniasley. But probobly we will bring on our own death, with polution and species

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

Very interesting! Thanks for the input! I am reading a book by Julian Jaynes, it's called, 'The origin of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind'. In this book, he mentions the destruction of the Minoan culture, north of present day Crete about 5,000 B.P. Indeed, something DID happen about that time. We have archeological evidence of an incredible volcanic episode destroying those people. The cause of this episode has yet to be determined. I would champion either axial realignment of the earth and planets by a close encounter with another star, the influence of solar evolution, or impact by a yet unknown meteor or comet, perhaps in mid-ocean. The dissemation of linguistic and cultural influence during this period indicates a phenomenal redistribution of peoples! Perhaps we are meant to learn something from these records,

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

Once again, I return to your web page to explore further. Ingatius, incarnate? Who'r ya lad? Why do I hear the sound of Irish bagpipes when I think of ye? Kitchen middens (ancient trash piles), found in the San Fransico Bay area, indicate that the people living here along the shoreline, ate a great deal of shellfish. Also, the remains many types of aquatic fowl, and fishes are mixed in these middens. Bits of charcoal also found, have been dated to around 5,000 years B.P. The calcium content of the mussel shells indicate that there was once 10X the fresh water then currently coming into the bay. We have to assume that there was a great deal more runoff then at present. This indicates that rain was much more abundant, in the 'golden state', and the existence of a far wetter climate. Dendo-chronology (tree ring studies) also indicate that the weather patterns here have varied incredibly through the ages. There is record of a 500 years draught! The

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

Don't forget that the Biblical flood was most likely transcribed from the tale of Utnapishtim in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Given the fact that there are several flood stories in ancient literature, something probably did happen that was stuck in the collective memories of the first poets. Have you also heard the observations of rainwater streaks on the Sphinx from that warmer, wetter period, which would make it

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

The scientiffic facts discovered for the time period of 3200 b.c. are typical for an impact of a large asteroid or comet. The impact blowed up massive dust clouds into the atmosphere. These dust clouds blocked the sunlight for many months - a global cold period began. During it`s flight through the earth atmosphere the comet headed up on some 10 000 degrees celcious, causing a reaction between the atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen. The result was a verry corrosive and worldwide acid rain of sulfo- ric acide. If the impact happened into an ocean, there would be also blasted great numberes of steam into the atmosphere. This steam caused a greenhouse effect just after the global temperature fall off has ended. Floodings and errosions are also a con- sequence of a water- impact. Some importent articles rellated to this theme do exist. In 1981 the US- geo- logist Luiz Alvarez prooved that the extinction of the dinosaurs was the cause of a large asteroid impact. During his study he discovered simmilar data to the one you have found for the time period of 3200 b.c. The austrian geologist Alexander Tollmann also found simmilar facts for another impact in 7552 b.c. This impact could be the reason for the

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

Many years ago, I read about a place, in South America, I'M not really sure weather it's either Chile, or Peru , or some other South American country.... But, I do remember that it was explained as this.....We discovered some caves..... not just normal caves..... but caves which were uniform,...approximately 12'X18' in height and width, but which seemed to go on for an undetermined length. The thing that intriged me the most was this,..... They could find no place within hundreds of miles, where the tailings of these mines, or caves , was deposited. In fact, it was implied, that the walls of these caves,.... seemed to be ,.... lazer cut or excavated. Ancient caves, Lazer cut, no tailings, struck me as extremely interesting. At the time, I was reading books like, "Chariots of the Gods" and " In Search of Ancient Astonauts". Even though these books were questionable, as to their verifiable facts, I was intrigued by the pictures of the actual caves shown in nthe book. My question to you is this?...... Have you heard, or seen, or have any resources which I could investigate myself, which would help me to track down these caves? So far, I have been unable to track down any references to these caves, where they are, or what has been learned about them since then. Anything you might know, or be

Your site proves to be interesting, however you take the bible to such literal lengths.

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

Well, well. The comments were almost more interesting than the site itself. Not to say that boundaries in the world are not useful, they are, but clearly here is a man who has broken the rules and crossed the sacred religious and academic boundaries of many, else why all the ire and scorn? The more layers there are to a question, a story, a myth, scientific data... the more interesting it becomes. I think the value is not in learning what the "TRUTH" is (or is not), but what we learn about others and ourselves along the way, the questions we ask, the pictures we paint, our own weave of the story thread and how it meshes with the world. Anyway, it is fascinating getting another look at a man I've been acquainted with for over 10 years, and discovering that I do AND I don't know him well. A paradox. It's what makes life worth living, the journey, not the end. And that is what I think the site is, a journey.

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

My name is Lauren Hunt. I am a high school freshman from Indiana. Today I am reserching Creationism v. Evolution so I can defend Creationism in school in a few weeks when we enter that topic area. I really enjoyed reading your information. I belive that the bible says exactly what God meant. (I am a Christian, Catholic to be persise.) I read some of the other comments that people wrote. One person was talking about how the flood couldn't happen because of the different races. A new type of DNA (it's called Microcondria DNA or somthing really close to that) has been discovered. It is passed on from mother to daughter. Every female in every race has this certain kind of DNA. The scienctist are all saying how this says that there was one female somewhere back in history that is the great-great (great on and on) grandma of us all. That takes away the major complaint of the flood story. I'd like to mention another point. Today I read that all the geologists agree that the earth has been hospitable to life of any kind for 4 billion years. When we think about all that time it seems like an eternity, pleanty of time for evolution to take place. On the contrarry, that is several billion years to short of time. DNA contains 3 billion nitorgenous base pairs or in other words 3 billion little rungs on the twisted ladder shape. This would mean that DNA would have to change at the rate of .75 base pairs a year (not generation)! This is DNA alone! We haven't even mentioned the cell. Even an extra billion years can't help! To be taking place at the rate Evolutionists say we need billions upon billions of more years! Heck, I haven't even mentioned the fact that Neatertal DNA was tested and was proven that the Neantertal are NOT

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

I just sent in some info. It was the really long one about 3 different things.

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

Ignatio....apparently we are experiencing similar climatic disruptions now? Climatic upheaval....earth in upheaval? Solar system redistributing itself? Incredible amounts of water vapor in the atmosphere at present.....More evidence arises of late, that bronze age civilizations were 'stressed' even destroyed by mid-ocean cometary or asteroidal impact and subsequent climatary changes....I propose that the current climatic upheaval and subsequent appearance of a large number of comets indicates a similar series of events occuring today? In 1981 a series of relitively rare planetary conjunctions began....it lasted 12 years or so..... Gas giants Jupiter and Saturn met with Neptune and Uranus in Sagitarius, which is were the main local gravity well is....i.e. the center of the milky way galaxy. The recent rash of comets along with the climate changes we're witnessing......Shoemaker/Levy 9, Hyakutake, Hale Bopp, and others, like C/1998 H1 Stonehouse....found just last week, and the crazy weather we're having...and the increased water vapor appearing in the latest Mars Global Observer images...are....very interesting in their conjunction.

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

There is a very strong possibility that the events described by your text involves a GeoMagnetic Reversal. At around 13,000 BC there was a geomagnetic reversal of 30 degrees. This event shifted the poles 30 degrees off the Y axis. Thus the Ice Caps at both the north and the south poles were exposed to warmer climates. Rapid melting of ice occurred. Thus extreme flooding was the result. Prior to this, Antartica was in a very temperate and comfortable zone. It probably housed cities and civilization. Perhaps a civilization of sailers. I trust that the implimcation of this means that the Ice Age was not rather a period of hot / cold climate changes, but rather the periodic variation of the geomagnetic poles. Aside from the evidence that you have indicated, one must not dismiss the extreme WATER EROSION indicated on selective Egyption Artifacts. Namely the Sphinx, and other temple structures. Note also that many have been 'repaired' by the Egyptions in the 3000 BC time frame. I cannot explain the relationship between Egypt and the various floods, except to state that floods have affected the culture of the region. That is certain. Also, that the Great Pyramid was built in 4000 BC and this was AFTER the last flood whereas it was deemed very important that the pyramid structure be built. I do not know or understand the functions of the chambers. But I do know this, and perhaps I am the only one who knows this, that the ANTECHAMBER in the entry passage to the Kings Chamber in the Great Pyramid is a functional DEVICE. It is not a passage. By chance, I had used the identical design of the ANTICHAMBER in one of my appliance designs. Look at the Holmes Products Corporation Humidifier HM-5450. You will note that there is a path where cool water enters the boiling chamber. In order to prevent the premature mixing of temperature and various undesirable steam effects, a maze was developed so as to STAGE the water path. The ANTICHAMBER is almost the same identical design. Please do notmisunderstand that I think that the Great Pyramid is some kind of giant Humidifier, but realize that this structure was built within short memory of the Flood and was designed

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

I thoroughly enjoyed the Science "Path" of this site. I have a B.S. in geological engineering, and much of this information was new, but not uncomprehendable. However, it seems that none of the paths is clearly organized into sections of thought. It might more more sense to organize into the evidence for catastrophes by either times or events. For example, put all the references to methane peaks in one section, rather than spreading them out over several pages of other information, such as sea levels or climate trends. And the "Love Path" doesn't fit into any of this discussion. The section seems more like fictional stories, which, while they are enjoyable, have very little to do with the topic that attracted most people to this site. But these are merely suggestions, and despite my comments, I still enjoyed exploring

Yes... It's true. Reputable scientists do have indisputable proof that supports creationism and the Bible. Informed scientists around the world have acknowledged the knowledge of creationism. The issue is already closed. There are too many evidences to list in this message.

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

More of a request please, I would like to have the full data for that oak tree ring belfast data if at all possible. I am looking for sun spot events on a 10.6 year cycle that should show up - (but how far back?) as lower than normal growth - not all cycles will be bad, but the oaak from Spessart adn Treir in Germany showed this back to 800 Ad so I am wanting to examine data as far back as possible. Ditto can yoou provide data or ref to German Oak also P L E A S E !! Re event 5200 BP- it appears SOMETHING happened, also 8000 BP ... and I would like to know what, solar likned? I am working the same problem but from different point of view. JHLL

Keep up the work. There are a few people out there doing the research while the rest of us battle with what we perceive to be more important (fixing the car, buying a house...) - but we are be

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

I know the posting has been up for awhile, here are some notes of one theory that might correspond to what your wondering about. Recently, I have noted around 3100 B.C. there was a minor pole shift. did you know this??? It was just enough to start up some volcanic activity. It was not an abrupt shift very minimal and progressive best estimates is 2-3 degrees tops over a 200-300 year period. The way I found out would blow your mind and so give me the credit on this one. When you take say the name of a star and it shows at a certain latitude of earth by a persons name noting it on the horizon at say 3100 B.C. the star is on an improper lattitude for where it should be say an error 1-2 degrees. This person could not make a mistake when he named it he had to be for navigation-religious purposes died on. I found this answer in an indian word in michigan and it was off because for the the name to be on a meridian and at lattitude at that date could not be 2 degrees higher. So, here is the problem they always noted comets back then but explain the zodiac moving in its improper place would have disturbed the pants off of them see...Sir the records are there I know it and would explain like we have to day the

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

interesting site and data. Well, how about the "great flood of Noah"? Many find it difficult to conceive that such a cataclysmic event could've happened. But if the data that you've gathered shows a "flood like" event happening back around the time frame for the same flood event that the bible describes, then why not? Does that historical data show what the temperatures were at that time? I remember hearing that Lief Erickson was able to live on the coast of Greenland during the 800 to 1225 ad time period. Not that he lived that long but the the temps. were warm enough to have allowed people to live there until the next "mini ice age" came about. Perhaps a similarly cataclysmic event eclipsed the known or even whole world at that time.

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

Ignatius, more info. for your effort/files. I found an interesting chapter in a recently purchased book. It's called 'Guerneville Early Days - A history of the lover Russian River' by John C. Schubert, pub. 1997. Check out chapter 2, 'The lay of the land and the run of the river'. Turns out that Guernville, on the Russian River, 75 miles north of San Francisco, has an 'oxbow cutoff'. Geologic evidence is presented which shows that the Russian River running through Guernville once followed a completely different course! There is an 'oxbow cutoff' there. The aerial photo of Guernville, taken in May, 1961 shows this obvious feature. Redwood stumps with 2,400 rings and other anecdotal evidence shows that approx. 5,000 years ago, a tremendous flood cut thru the mountain and changed the course of the river! This must have been one hell of a flood, as it cut thru more then 100 feet of fairly solid rock/mountain to create the river's current path! Also, a book by Stephen Powers, 'Indians of Northern California' captures local indian mythology about a great flood.... The Kashiyah and southern Pomo indians have a flood story/myth in their spoken traditions. They recount a flood so great that only the people who climbed the highest mountains around survived! It's part of their verbal creation stories...Stephen Powers came to Calif. in 1867. He walked across the southern United States to San Diego, back in 1867. He then traveled/walked North to 'Yerba Buena' (S.F.) and settled North of the area between 1870-75. He made his living selling the stories/accounts he wrote to prestigious eastern publications. Arriving in this area, he decided to document the remaining native american tribes. His records are one of the few accounts of the people that lived here. Most of the Nat. Americans had been decimated by

To the R.I.O.T. group, You people are psuedo-scientists. That case is definitely closed. I would love to hear where you found that the planets are going to aline themselves in the year 2000, but the last I heard from the field of astronomy, that is a long way off my friends. Are you just millineum freaks or something. Do you realize the millineum does not hit us in 2000 A.D.? Did you realize the millineum change will occur in the year 2001? That's right. If you will recall, there was never a year 0 A.D. Before you people try to force you misguided beliefs on others, why not talk to real scientists,

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

Interesting site. Much like the rest of the Super-DisInformation Highway, a good mix of opinion, idea, myth, fantasy, and observation masquarading as fact and art (hence, the impostering of that dead man, I. Donnelly, has a certain merit). As for the comments.. really, somebody should at least remove some of the repeated spam.. I notice that the dissenters herein resort only to name- calling (mammalian shit-throwing), and fail to post anything even approaching the data that you have on your site. The GOD worshippers could at least admit, that, assuming an omnipotent deity, all of your data and conclusions could still easily be correct, and "nature" simply a vehicle of Its power. Since we can't really even explain how we command our own hands to type on a keyboard, we really can't rule out the possibility of some spiritual force. I suspect, though, that for the most part, if some a deity does exist, it doesn't depend on our belief in it. I do think too much is made of the Bible by scientists and yourself herein(although to be expected considering the nature of the works of your impostered dead author).. always trying to find explanations for this or that.. or trying to prove or disprove it.. or using it as a prop for outdated moralities of all kinds and supposed historical phenomena/events of all sorts. It doesn't seem to me that this site has much to do with Evolution of Species, a rather untenable theory without much proof, (as differs from the evolution of traits within the same species, a verifiable phenomena, easily observed with a can of insect repellant and a few generations of roaches). If some spirituality (i.e. GOD, Krisna, Gaia, ExtraTerrestrials, ExtraDimensionals, other etc etc), does exist, surely this would affect the development of species on this planet, and some theorists propose catastrophism in the development of lifeforms as well.. (i.e. sudden shifts where a species suddenly appears with no apparent direct link to a previous ancestor). Some scientists even find time appears non-continuous when observed with certain instruments (i.e. jumping from one moment to the next). People often forget that only through rigorous training can we learn to observe the same event in the same way, and without that training (or with opposing training styles) the most intelligent seeming people can argue forever about the "true" nature of phenomena and its supposed numena (cause). Anyway.. hope you update your site.. needs more intersectional links back to previous pages and to the index.. and you might add an exposing section that reveals your true impostering nature for those new to the

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

I think that historians are wrong. The flow of history is too smooth and that there was an advanced civilization that we don't know about. The one thing is for sure ancient Egypt, the Minoans, the Babalonians, and early Greeks are the key to the advanced civilization. Historians say that after the ice age human civilization started and we are at the peek right now. I hypothisis that there was another civilization that was ahead for its time...could it be Atlantis??? We will just have to

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

Hello again Ignatius!...More coal for your 'fire'! can be found at: http://www.ames.net/aeon/index.html I found this AMES research site while looking around at archeoastronomy sites. The author(s) describe translations from Summarian texts/poems and other early writtings. If the translations are correct...the ancients agree with Velikovsky's theory of a major re-alignment of the planets...some 11,000 BP. VERY interesting stuff in there...I hope you find the time to visit that site. Perhaps some of the info. can be added to your volumes? The ancients record Venus with a cometary appearance! Saturn not where it is today and other interesting observations...An ex-girlfriend of mine was a 'trained psychic'...by the Berkeley Psychic Institute (sheesh!). I never took much stock in what she had to say about 'past lives'...thought her simply using the stories she told as a tool to establish communications with the sub-conscious mind of those she offered readings to. She did a lot of 'readings' for me as we lived together for about a year. One of the readings really upset me. She told me that we had been together in a previous incarnation - in ATLANTIS! We were well known 'healers'...sought out by all. I found her story interesting at least..but was suprised by a series of dreams I had soon after. In these dreams I discover that I am

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

This data correlates well with Noah's flood, described in the Bible (Genesis 6,7,8). The best explanation for the cause is a thermonuclear event in the oceanic curst initiating crystalline changes in the peridotite with 10% expansion. The ocean floor rose to inundate the land while heated water evaporated to provide the fresh water rain for 150 days (not just the first 40 days before the ark floated).

You have a lot of data on the Middle East, but I'd be interested in knowing more about what may have happened in the southwestern U.S. area.

If you know other web sites that cover this subject, or can give me an e-mail address for B.P. I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

Prior to the flood our earth was covered by a watery canope. This kept the average temp closer to the idealfor plants. This temp was within 4 degrees of the due-point. This caaused a protection of our biological processes from cosmic radiation from the sun andd extended our lifespan to reach close to 1000 years of age before we die of old age. RAin was unheard of prior to Noahs ark time as the fog of the day (protection) settled upon the green plants to water them every night. (like dew on the grass in the fall lawns. This cleared the night sky so as to view the stars, but lifted back to sky to protect humans during the day under to sun. This diffused day light heated the north and south poles and tempered the equator so as to causse a paradise greenery. This is all available by studying your bible. sinccerely John Becker

Dear Mr. Donnelly:

I don't think anyone gives Immanuel Velikovsky's works enough credit. Even Albert Einstein laughed in his face. (In a matter of speaking) After probes were sent to Venus and other planets and relaying back data that proved Velikovsky's theorys correct. Albert Einstien acknowledged Velikovsky's work after the data was recieved. A lot of so called scientists that begrudged him are now comming around. But most still can't swallow the other theories that Velikovsky "predicted" yet they have not been disproved. Of course we can only speculate what really happened, despite know facts, only God really knows. Now that Velikovsky's "predictions" are coming true, all you can do is squabble about him borrowing some early material. Thats ridiculess, every Scientist, Teacher, Chemist, Doctor, Engineer...etc. uses or is influenced by his predicessors idea, books, papers, or beliefs. Lets give a very intelligent and open minded scientist, Doctor, Futurist, Visonary...etc some well deserved credit.
