This article concerns me. I have 2 problems with it.

(1) It’s become clear that the mammoths went extinct alongside many other species, and on multiple continents. Half a million mammoth carcasses have been observed on or near the surface of the planet (many have been converted to piano keys).

Importantly, we’ve also observed 7 instances of mammoth tusks with meteorites embedded within them. Experiments show that these fragments would have to be traveling at 1,000 mph to embed that much into the tusk. Furthermore, all of the fragments, for each instance, have an aligned trajectory.

Furthermore, in one instance, a radioactive black mat with exotic isotopes is observed draped over a mammoth carcass (Murray Springs site). That’s just one of 50 sites, actually, in North America where this black mat has been observed.

See images of all of these things at https://plus.google.com/108466508041843226480/posts/KDefcUeLN4G.

(2) The mythological archetypes commonly refer to catastrophes. Plato was clear that these myths have a cosmic origin. From Plato’s Dialogues at https://books.google.com/books?id=6IJEAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA367&lpg=PA367

… this is *Plato* speaking here about the meaning of the myths. Please pay close attention …

“Phaethon, the son of Helios, having yoked the steeds in his father’s chariot, because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burned up all that was upon the earth, and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt. *Now, this has the form of a myth, but really signifies a declination of the bodies moving around the earth and in the heavens, and a great conflagration of things upon the earth recurring at long intervals of time* “

(Notice that Plato is unwittingly describing a debris field that would regularly return to the earth after an initial catastrophe — even though Plato has no idea what gravity or a debris field actually is …)

And, to make sure that everybody understands the meaning of the ancient myths, he further states:

“ *All of these stories, and ten thousand others which are still more wonderful, have a common origin*; many of them have been lost in the lapse of ages, or exist only as fragments; *but the origin of them is what no one has told* “

I don’t know how Plato could be any clearer:

The myths all originated with a planetary-scale catastrophe. Why would people in the name of science completely disregard Plato?
