Earth Under Fire: Humanity's Survival of the Apocalypse
Ancient myth and esoteric lore from around the world tell  frightening tales of humanity's suffering through destructions by fire  and flood, legends of catastrophe so extreme and so pervasive that now  we tend to discount them as imaginative exaggerations.  Paul  LaViolette thought so too, until he discovered an ancient time-capsule  cryptogram written in the constellations that relates the Galactic  cause of these events.  In Earth Under Fire he explains how this  scientifically advanced message combines with ancient esoteric lore to  alert us to a cyclical cosmic disaster-one that could recur today  virtually without warning.- Unravel the mysterious riddle of the  Sphinx.  Learn the memorial significance of the Orion constellation,  the Pleiadian rites, and the Minoan bull-leaping ceremony.
