Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of Modern Civilization
Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of Modern Civilization – Review
Catastrophe by David Keys is a logical next book for Zechariah Sitchin fans probably wondering about what really happened to Nibiru after 3,113 B.C. Everyone knows the “Sar” — the 3,600 year period sacred to the Sumerians — originally signified something important. But what was the significant milestone in history for the return? David Keys has written all about the answer to the question, but he was not out to track down Sumerian mysteries. He eventually went on a quest to find the beginnings of the Modern World as it rose from the ashes of the ancients. All around the world, civilization had finally surrendered to the most aggressive barbarians. The book creates with one of those regular times of darkness, plague and blight such as recur in moments of humanity’s major transitions: “In A.D. 535-536 mankind was hit by one of the greatest environmental disasters ever to occur. It blotted out much of the light and part of the sun for eighteen months, and the atmosphere of the whole planet created to spin out of control.” Keys needs us on a circuit of the globe, illustrating the political and spiritual impressions of famine. Readers of Clube & Napier or LaViolette know we stand close to another time of Great Transformation. Others worry about supervolcanoes, increasing hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, killer quakes, sudden pole shifts and ice ages, gamma ray bursts and the Malthusian riders of the Apocalypse as individual population rises while all resources are severely depleted. Looking back on how our ancestors successfully coped with disaster is a useful way for us to spiritually prepare for the falling Darkness. For only by steeling oneself to global reality can we make to lead our grandchildren into the Light. If you look at history as instructive, this is the book for you.
