Brief Chronology

-- 5800 BC: Saturn above Earth -- Saturn shows up above Earth and starts a plasma discharge to Earth. Earth is in a close orbit around the Sun, as are all the other planets. The stars are not seen for the next 1700 years. Saturn is mostly obscured, and only near the end of this period starts to show as a giant egg in the sky. This is the era before creation.

-- 4186 BC: Saturn lights up -- Saturn goes through a nova event -- a mass discharge which creates its rings and Venus -- and Saturn lights up. This is the moment of 'Creation.' The arc at the point of contact with Earth creates massive cloudbanks and glaciation. Venus is in orbit around Saturn and Mars hangs below. The "Age of the Gods" begins. Mars makes eight 'descents' to Earth.

-- 3114 BC: The Gods leave -- Saturn is in a near collision with Jupiter. The "Age of the Gods" ends with the "Flood of Gilgamesh." Plasma discharges between Jupiter and Saturn are seen as the "battle of the Gods." Earth, Mars, and Venus escape to eccentric orbits. Mars, on a slightly larger orbit, partly coincides with Earth's orbit and is seen visiting Earth as Horus ten times for 300 years after 3000 BC. The Gods leave as both Saturn and Jupiter move to orbits farther removed from the Sun. Jupiter stays active and develops a coma. He becomes the chief God in almost all societies.

-- 2300, 2200 BC: Noah's Flood -- - 2349 BC: Venus passes above Earth at a close distance causing "Noah's Flood" and changing Earth's orbit; the fall of the Absu. The Moon appears in orbit around Earth soon after. - 2247 BC: A sudden extinction of Jupiter's coma. The death of Yâo. The Burning Tower, an event told worldwide in legends recalling how people lost language or memory. - 2193 BC: (156 years after 2349 BC) Venus again passes close to Earth (the fourth time in this period). The Old Kingdom of Egypt ends and the Akkadian empire falls. The Earth changes orbits again.

-- 1500 BC: Exodus -- - 1492 BC: Venus passes close to Earth during the Exodus of Moses. An arc is struck which circles Earth at about 30 degrees latitude. The Earth's orbit changes. Skies are obscured by heavy clouds for 40 years. - 1440 BC: (52 years later) Venus again comes close to Earth. The Middle Kingdom of Egypt ends. The sun stands still for Joshua. Mesoamerica is destroyed.

-- 8th, 7th Century BC: The Start of History -- - 776 BC: A simultaneous visit is made by Venus and Mars (the "ball game"). There continue to be repeated close calls by Mars over a period of 60 years. - 747 BC: Mars jars Earth. The Earth's orbit changes. Calendar reforms are made worldwide. - 686 BC: Mercury jars Earth. - 685 BC: Venus goes nova. Jupiter bolts the Sun (the death of Quetzalcoatl). The polar axis and the equinox shift. - 670 BC: Earth's orbit becomes circular.
