head. Is it any wonder the ancients thought the gods lived in the sky and hurled thunderbolts to destroy humanity?
    Ancient myths suggest that not only were the forests ignited but also the water in lakes, ponds and the ocean reached boiling point. People who sought refuge in water were boiled to death except those who buried themselves in mud. On land only people who reached the safety of caves or dug holes in the ground were saved.
    Could this be the reason that the great ice dams melted and released a deluge of fresh water into the oceans and a mass extinction occurred at that time? Could this also be the reason Quetzalcoatl, Hermes and Thoth are all associated with guiding souls to the underworld? Does this portion of the myths suggest that caves and tunnels were the only safe places of refuge to escape the solar storm?
    Interestingly, caves have recently been found beneath the Great Pyramids of Egypt. The entrance to these caves was concealed behind a temple known as the Tomb of the Birds. It appears to have been a temple dedicated to Thoth since bird mummies were also found in another cemetery related to Thoth near Khemenu, a city dedicated to the worship of Thoth. This cemetery also featured extensive underground passageways. [86]
    Also in Mexico archaeologists have recently discovered the entrance to a cave complex in front of the Temple of Quetzalcoatl at Teotihuacan, a pre-Columbian pyramid complex that was dedicated to the worship of Quetzalcoatl and his close associate Tlaloc. (Tlaloc is also associated with comets and destruction by a rain of fire.) Teotihuacan’s great Pyramid of the Sun was also built over a cave and Hermes mother Maia gave birth to him in a cave.
    Thus a clearer picture is emerging about the message that these ancient myths may encode. They suggest that the sun enters a new highly active period every 12,500 years that coincides with the return of the green comet Machholz as it passes near the Pleiades. During this time the sun, covered in sunspots, emits super solar flares that are dangerous to life on Earth and could melt ice sheets, set forests ablaze and cause the ocean to boil. The only refuge is underground or in caves.

14. The Galactic Center and the Blue Star Kachina
    The geologic evidence seems to support that there were both a super solar flare and a comet impact event around 10,500 BC. Yet how could such rare events occur simultaneously? Could both of these events have been caused by a third outside force: a massive eruption from the center of our galaxy? Physicist Paul LaViolette thinks that was precisely the case.
    In his 1983 Ph.D. dissertation, Dr. Paul LaViolette argued that the megafaunal extinctions and other changes around the time of the Younger Dryas were caused by an eruption of cosmic rays from the center of our galaxy. This galactic superwave pushed large amounts of “cosmic dust and cometary debris into the solar system and triggered a period of elevated solar flare activity.” [87]
    Astronomers have witnessed core explosions known as gamma ray bursts from the centers of many galaxies. They usually appear blue in color. According to Dr. LaViolette the galactic core explosion from our own galaxy would appear to people on Earth as the appearance of a new bright blue star at the galactic center, which is located between the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpio. Depending on the intensity of the outburst it could have been visible during the day as well.

    The Hopi Indians, who shared the Mesoamerican belief in a series of world ages called Suns, had a legend that the Fourth Sun would end and the Fifth Sun begin once a bright blue star was seen in the heavens. Known as the Blue Star Kachina, this was believed to also bring a “Day of Purification.” Could this be a reference to a galactic core explosion?
    Yet according to Aztec belief, the Fourth Sun ended and the Fifth Sun began in 1011 AD.
