flew across the sky with long tail feathers was an appropriate symbol for a comet. As noted previously, the Chinese referred to one specific type of comet as a “long tailed pheasant star”[128] showing that birds with long tail feathers were, indeed, associated with comets in other cultures as well. (As I will show later this Chinese “long-tailed pheasant star” and the Mayan “Celestial Bird” were likely the same comet.)

The Mayan Blowgunner Vase also supports the idea that the Sun was responsible for the comet breakup and subsequent impact event. For instance, the blowgunner Jun Ahaw or “One Sun” had three spots on his body. Thus he likely represented the Sun during a solar maximum when sunspot activity was at its peak. The act of using a blowgun to shoot a Celestial Bird out of the sky was a good metaphor for a coronal mass ejection that caused the comet to fragment and impact the earth. The glyphs on the vase read “he descends (from) the sky” which further supports the idea that the Celestial Bird, or comet, was knocked from the sky by this action.

Yet a coronal mass ejection is not visible to someone on earth thus how would the Maya have known the sun was responsible for the tail disconnection event? First, naked-eye observations of sunspots have been recorded throughout history.[129] They are especially visible at sunrise and sunset when the apparent size of the sun is much larger than at midday. A hazy or cloudy day can help screen the bright glare of the sun allowing the solar disc to be viewed more easily. Under these conditions sunspots are readily seen by the naked eye.

Solar flares can also be witnessed by the naked eye under the same conditions. To the naked eye they will appear as bright flashes of light much brighter than the surrounding solar disc. These are called White-Light-Flares.[130] British astronomer Richard Carrington witnessed the largest solar storm in recorded history in September 1859 and noted the bright spots on the sun lasted for several minutes and were in the vicinity of the dark sunspots.[131] Carrington connected these bright spots to the blood red auroras that occurred the next night and suspected a solar-terrestrial connection.[132] Thus it is quite likely the Maya also made a connection between a White Light Flare during the day followed by a tail detachment and fragmentation event the next night and represented it as the figure of Jun Ahaw, covered in spots, shooting down the Celestial Bird.

Could the events depicted on the Mayan Blowgunner vase be the same as those recorded in the Mayan Flood Myth? Any doubts about whether the Celestial Bird and Cosmic Crocodile are related are removed by a sculpture at the site of Izapa in Chiapas, Mexico. Palenque, the site where the Mayan Flood Myth was recorded on a hieroglyphic platform, is also located in Chiapas. The sculpture, or stela, at Izapa showed the Celestial Bird in a tree formed by the body of a crocodile.

Another stela, stela 2, from Izapa showed the Celestial Bird diving towards Earth similarly to how the hieroglyphic text on the Mayan Blowgunner Vase recorded that the Celestial Bird “descended from the sky.”

As noted in Part 2, chapter 10, “Quetzalcoatl & Hermes: Cosmic Messengers,” the Greek god Hermes was associated with both a comet and the Sun. An old illustration of Hermes is remarkably similar to the Izapa stela 2 and showed the “bird of Hermes” descending above a tree made not from a Cosmic Crocodile but a two-headed dragon. It is as if the bird is splitting the dragon in two. The scene is watched over by both the Sun and the crescent Moon.

Finally, the Blowgunner Vase prominently features a serpent overwatching the events that take place. As noted in the previous chapter, the events preceding the flood were overwatched by Itzamna who likely represented the constellation Draco. This serpent on the Blowgunner Vase likely represents Draco as well providing another connection between the Mayan Flood Myth and the Blowgunner Vase.

Therefore it appears there is substantial evidence among ancient myths supporting the hypothesis that a comet was hit by a super solar flare or coronal mass ejection causing it to fragment. The evidence also supports that some of these fragments slammed into Earth’s oceans leading to mega-tsunamis that undoubtedly destroyed many coastal civilizations at that time.

Since this was a global event is there any evidence that other cultures around the world encoded this event into their myths and legends. In fact, there is which we will explore in Part 4: The 2012 Prophecy. We will also learn of the only prophecy for December 21, 2012 and, unfortunately, it sounds a lot like an impact event.

V. Comet Catastrophe

 

17. Rahu and Ketu: A Hindu Account

As noted in Part 3, Mayan mythology appears to accurately recount a catastrophic comet fragmentation and impact event that occurred around 3300 BC. According to these myths it appears that a super solar flare or coronal mass ejection was responsible for the fragmentation of the comet which led to four large fragments impacting the Earth’s oceans sending mega-tsunamis that devastated coastal civilizations of the time.

Since this was a global catastrophe, is there any evidence of this event recorded in the myths and legends of other cultures around the globe? The Maya referred to this comet as a Cosmic Crocodile or a Celestial Bird thus it is likely the myths of other cultures encoded this comet in similarly fantastical ways. Is there any evidence for this? In fact, there is.

This same story appears to have been recorded in Hindu mythology as well. As researcher Bob Kobres noted in his research about bird-comet connections:

“The bird-comet connection is even more obvious in the [Hindu epic] the MAHABHARATA which describes a fierce fowl with but one wing,
