Firmament puts forth a new scenario detailing recent planetary chaos in the solar system.
Although there is considerable evidence of these encounters on the Earth and the planets, the primary source of this detail in our scenario comes from ancient myths. In them, the number of encounters, and the floods, earthquakes and thunderbolts that marked each, are clearly spelled out with a detail that could never be determined by examining the physical evidence remaining today. Indeed, we claim that the entire body of sacred myth of all cultures is no more and no less than descriptions of close encounters of Venus and Mars with the Earth. These encounters profoundly effected our terrain, atmosphere, and ancient history in ways not imagined by modern scholars who have all bought into a uniformitarian weltanschauung . Mars was called the god of war for good reason - because it created havoc as it approached the Earth.
