I have really lost the desire to write here. I wonder, who the hell am I trying to convince? Maybe water never inundates the magma chamber and there
has never been an eruption of the size I claim. Maybe I'm wrong and there are only roof collapses and pyroclastic surges and pyroclastic flows. Maybe
the magma isn't ejected into the atmosphere like I insist. Maybe I'm wrong.
I agree, I'm just some guy in my pajamas playing with a tin can full of hot oil and out here making wild paranoid claims. But I do my best thinking
when I am captured by thought upon waking. It starts spinning. On days with inclement weather I can't get outside to distract myself with good hard
work, so I can become immersed in a subject and even forget to eat. Usually around bedtime I realize I'm hungry and tired so I pull myself from the
whirlwind. Yesterday was one of those days. To amuse myself I tried to understand the Mayan calender. I then drifted to the 2012 prophecies, hoping to
stay away from Yellowstone. I found nothing conclusive in a video trying to link phophets in a consensus about the date. And as I bounced from one
seer to the next, one commentator said that the apostle John's revelations were code for something he thought would happen in his own time. This made
me realized maybe he lifted the end of days story from an older biblical tale. Maybe he used the imagery in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah to
illustrate what he believed would happen. Sometime ago, I watched a program which tried to link the erupiton on Santorini (Thera/Atlantis) to the
events of exodus and to the story of Moses. But there is a problem with the dates. Moses lived around 1400 bc during the time of Jacob. And the
eruption of Thera happened, according to radio carbon dating, around 1600 bc during the time of Abraham. So it is doubtful that eruption and
destruction of Atlantis had anything to do with the exodus and the plaques. Well, no immediate causes. But I digress. If the eruption happened during
the time of Abraham, any effects in the the Holy Land would relate to the disaster that befell Sodom and Gomorrah. But how? There is a very credible
theory from geologists which states that a pyroclastic surge of super heated steam from Thera could have crossed the water and devestated the Minoan
civilization on Crete. I concur with this conclusion.
So the events chronicalled in the tale of Atlantis have a basis in scientific fact. The eruption that destroyed the city of Thera devestated the
Minoan civilization and lead to it's eventual downfall. Volcanoes have the ability to bring catastrophy to a region. But was the fallout limited to
the islands around Santorini? No. Ash has been found in Turkey and Syria. Were there any other regions affected? Yes. The eruption destroyed the
cities of Soddom and Gomorrah! Impossible! How could a pyroclastic surge travel nearly 1000 kms to the Dead Sea Valley? I mean it's reasonable to
assume the surge could have reached Crete, which is about 100 kms away. Observerors of Kratatau say the pyroclastic surge travelled 80 kms. But come
on Robin, get your head on straight, a pyroclastic surge can't travel 1000 kms across the Mediterranean Sea and reach the Holy Land!
Wait! That's right. A pyroclastic surge would have been unlikely to reach the Dead Sea region. And besides the history states that it was a rain of
brimstone from the sky. Not a big superheated steam cloud. Right. And some geologists think that the event happened locally. A fault slipped, and
bitumen, (ashphalt) oozed up and something sparked the gases, setting the whole region on fire. Other geologists state that the ground became
liquified during an earthquake and swallowed up the cities. That's right. It has to be one of these well researched hypothesises. No. Wait! The story
states that the cities of the plain were destroyed by a rain of fire. Brimstone. Sulfur. They could see it coming. Lot's wife wasn't supposed to
look back.
What did she see?
Stay tuned...
