As was noted previously, the decapitation event is consistent with a tail disconnection event caused when a coronal mass ejection slams into a comet. Coronal mass ejections occur during periods of heightened solar activity thus the Mayan Flood Myth suggests these events took place during such a period. This, alone, could explain the Beryllium-10 spike in the ice core record. Yet if God GI was really a supernova then this could also help explain the spike in Beryllium-10.
What are the odds that a supernova, super solar storm, and comet impact event would all happen so closely in time? Could there be some other underlying cause to all of these rare events just as there was for the 10,500 BC event discussed in Part 2, Chapter 14?
Once again, just like with the 10,500 BC event, a galactic core explosion and associated superwave appear to be the root cause behind these rare events. Physicist Paul LaViolette, Ph.D. noted in his book Earth Under Fire that the Beryllium-10 spike in 3300 BC was likely the result of a minor Magnitude 1 superwave.[123] Though not as severe as the Magnitude 4 galactic superwave that struck the solar system in 10,500 BC, this superwave was still able to pack a powerful punch. It was able to obliterate comets in the Oort cloud in the outer reaches of the solar system and push this dust, gas and debris into the inner solar system where it collided with the earth and sun. The massive amount of dust and debris falling into the sun caused it to become more active shooting off super solar flares and coronal mass ejections. One of these superflares or CMEs caused a tail disconnection event as well as a violent outgassing of the comet that led to a fragmentation. Four large fragments then slammed into four of the world’s oceans sending mega-tsunami with wave heights likely 2000 feet or more racing towards shore.
The shock wave produced by these meteor impacts would have reached land before the tsunami wave in the form of greater-than-hurricane-force winds. These winds would have been so hot that most organic matter would have burst into flames. A second blast wave would have soon followed. Any survivors of the initial blast would have been pelted by a rain of rocks, trees and other debris. Soon afterwards a mountain of water would have appeared and crashed down on any remaining survivors. The fact that eyewitness accounts of these events were preserved so accurately within Mayan religious texts proves that, miraculously, some people who witnessed these events actually survived them!
Additionally, the appearance of God GI in the heavens may have been an eyewitness account of the blue ‘star’ that would have appeared in the galactic center when the light from this eruption reached an observer on earth. When the tail disconnection event and impact events happened eleven years later the astronomer-priests may have assumed these events were related just as the Aztecs did four thousand years later for the 1011 AD supernova and 1014 AD impact events discussed in Part 2, Chapters 13 & 14.
The 3300 BC event also seems to coincide with the birth or rebirth of the Taurid meteor stream. Astronomer Bill Napier has noted, “The main part of the current [Taurid] meteoroid system appears to have developed five to 20,000 years ago.”[124] Thus it is likely that the event in 3300 BC, five thousand years ago, could have created or significantly added to the current Taurid meteoroid complex, which would have devastating consequences for civilization over the next 5,000 years.
Yax Naah Itzamnaaj & the Constellation Draco
There is one final deity associated with these events: Yax Naah Itzamnaaj. The hieroglyphic text notes that he oversaw the enthronement of God GI.
Itzamna was one of the most ancient gods whose myths are very reminiscent of those told about Quetzalcoatl, the sky serpent. Itzamna’s name has been interpreted to mean “lizard house” where itzam means “lizard” and na means “house.” House and/or mansion were common terms used by cultures around the world to refer to a constellation. One constellation has been represented as both a lizard and serpent around the world: Draco. Could Itzamna be associated with the constellation Draco?
One researcher noted, “Itzamnaaj a.k.a. ‘God D,’ [was] a high-ranking, wrinkled Old God, ubiquitous in Maya art, usually ruling over other gods. Occasionally…God D [appeared] as a serpent-head.”[125] In Mayan mythology, Itzamna was married to Ix Chel who was depicted as having a serpent on her head, carrying a water jug, usually overturned pouring out water. The Little Dipper asterism to the Maya was known as the “water jug,” xam, which pours out virgin water.[126] Thus it is likely that Itzamna represented the constellation Draco which is “married” to the Little Dipper in the night sky since they endlessly rotate around each other, even passing ownership of the North star between one another due to precession. Since Draco is a circumpolar constellation it is visible year round unlike other constellations that dip below the horizon for months at a time; thus, he is an appropriate “deity” to rule over the other deities, i.e., constellations. Since Draco is always visible, this is likely why he is said to have overseen the events of 3300 BC. More importantly, due to precession of the equinoxes Draco was home to the North Star, Thuban, in 3300 BC.
What about the title Yax Naah he is given in this hieroglyphic text? Yax means “green” but also “first.” Naah means house. Combined they likely mean something like “the original” Itzamna. This title was likely meant to distinguish him from the later incarnations of Itzamna that were closely associated with Quetzalcoatl, which we have seen was clearly a comet not a constellation. (This version of Itzamna will be seen in the next chapter, “Decoding the Mayan Blowgunner Vase.”)
Conclusions
Based on the above interpretations, it seems likely that on March 10, 3309 BC the blue light from a galactic core explosion arrived at earth appearing like a new blue star in the sky. The “enthronement” of this new star was “overseen” by the constellation Draco which was home to the North Star, Thuban. This explosion pushed in dust and comets into the inner solar system causing the sun to become more active spawning superflares and coronal mass ejections. One such CME slammed into a comet, ripping its tail off in a tail detachment event, and fragmenting the comet. The CME also slammed into earth causing blood red auroras to overtake the world’s skies.
Soon afterwards four large fragments of the comet, burning bright green as they burned in the atmosphere, crashed into four separate oceans spawning mega-tsunamis. The initial blast wave created super hurricane force winds that uprooted and shredded trees for thousands of kilometers. Then the mega-tsunami, an avalanche of water, rushed inland for miles destroying everything in its path then washed it all back out to sea. The dust and debris would blot out the sun for two years or more. Survivors would tell how a crocodile star was decapitated, flooded the world with blood, and caused the sky to fall bringing about the end of one world age.
16. Decoding the Mayan Blowgunner VaseAs mentioned previously, the Mayan Flood Myth recorded the “decapitation” of a comet and impact of its fragments into four oceans causing worldwide mega-tsunamis. The “myth” recorded that this decapitation event happened eleven years after the initial “enthronement” or appearance of a new star in the sky around 3309 BC. Evidence for these events has been found in both the sedimentary and ice core records dated to 3300 BC providing physical evidence that the Mayan Flood “Myth” was more likely an eyewitness account of actual events.
The inclusion of the eleven-year span of time after the “enthronement” suggests the “decapitation” event was caused by the Sun. The Sun is known to have an eleven-year cycle. Every eleven years the Sun becomes more active, sunspots form on its surface, and solar flares and coronal mass ejections become more frequent. Could the Maya have known about this eleven-year sunspot cycle and encoded it in this myth?
A Mayan vase known as the Blowgunner Vase suggests this is the case. This vase likely recorded the same event as the Mayan Flood Myth. It featured a character known as Jun Ahaw, “One Lord” or “One Sun,” shooting Itzam Yeh, the Celestial Bird, with a blowgun and causing the bird to “descend from the sky.”[127]
Detail of the Blowgunner Vase showing Jun Ahaw using a blowgun to shoot down the
Celestial Bird. Notice the spots on the body of Jun Ahaw, “One Sun.”
The Celestial Bird was represented as a Quetzal. As noted in Part 2, chapter 8, “Comet Machholz and the Return of Kukulkan,” the Quetzal was a species of bird from southern Mexico that had very long tail feathers. A bird that flew across the sky with long tail feathers was an appropriate symbol for a comet. As noted previously, the Chinese referred to one specific type of comet as a “long tailed pheasant star”[128] showing that birds with long tail feathers were, indeed, associated with comets in other cultures as well. (As I will show later this Chinese “long-tailed pheasant star” and the Mayan “Celestial Bird” were likely the same comet.)
The Mayan Blowgunner Vase also supports the idea that the Sun was responsible for the comet breakup and subsequent impact event. For instance, the blowgunner Jun Ahaw or “One Sun” had three spots on his body. Thus he likely represented the Sun during a solar maximum when sunspot activity was at its peak. The act of using a blowgun to shoot a Celestial Bird out of the sky was a good metaphor for a coronal mass ejection that caused the comet to fragment and impact the earth. The glyphs on the vase read “he descends (from) the sky” which further supports the idea that the Celestial Bird, or comet, was knocked from the sky by this action.

Yet a coronal mass ejection is not visible to someone on earth thus how would the Maya have known the sun was responsible for the tail disconnection event? First, naked-eye observations of sunspots have been recorded throughout history.[129] They are especially visible at sunrise and sunset when the apparent size of the sun is much larger than at midday. A hazy or cloudy day can help screen the bright glare of the sun allowing the solar disc to be viewed more easily. Under these conditions sunspots are readily seen by the naked eye.
Solar flares can also be witnessed by the naked eye under the same conditions. To the naked eye they will appear as bright flashes of light much brighter than the surrounding solar disc. These are called White-Light-Flares.[130] British astronomer Richard Carrington witnessed the largest solar storm in recorded history in September 1859 and noted the bright spots on the sun lasted for several minutes and were in the vicinity of the dark sunspots.[131] Carrington connected these bright spots to the blood red auroras that occurred the next night and suspected a solar-terrestrial connection.[132] Thus it is quite likely the Maya also made a connection between a White Light Flare during the day followed by a tail detachment and fragmentation event the next night and represented it as the figure of Jun Ahaw, covered in spots, shooting down the Celestial Bird.
Could the events depicted on the Mayan Blowgunner vase be the same as those recorded in the Mayan Flood Myth? Any doubts about whether the Celestial Bird and Cosmic Crocodile are related are removed by a sculpture at the site of Izapa in Chiapas, Mexico. Palenque, the site where the Mayan Flood Myth was recorded on a hieroglyphic platform, is also located in Chiapas. The sculpture, or stela, at Izapa showed the Celestial Bird in a tree formed by the body of a crocodile.

Another stela, stela 2, from Izapa showed the Celestial Bird diving towards Earth similarly to how the hieroglyphic text on the Mayan Blowgunner Vase recorded that the Celestial Bird “descended from the sky.”

As noted in Part 2, chapter 10, “Quetzalcoatl & Hermes: Cosmic Messengers,” the Greek god Hermes was associated with both a comet and the Sun. An old illustration of Hermes is remarkably similar to the Izapa stela 2 and showed the “bird of Hermes” descending above a tree made not from a Cosmic Crocodile but a two-headed dragon. It is as if the bird is splitting the dragon in two. The scene is watched over by both the Sun and the crescent Moon.
Finally, the Blowgunner Vase prominently features a serpent overwatching the events that take place. As noted in the previous chapter, the events preceding the flood were overwatched by Itzamna who likely represented the constellation Draco. This serpent on the Blowgunner Vase likely represents Draco as well providing another connection between the Mayan Flood Myth and the Blowgunner Vase.
Therefore it appears there is substantial evidence among ancient myths supporting the hypothesis that a comet was hit by a super solar flare or coronal mass ejection causing it to fragment. The evidence also supports that some of these fragments slammed into Earth’s oceans leading to mega-tsunamis that undoubtedly destroyed many coastal civilizations at that time.
Since this was a global event is there any evidence that other cultures around the world encoded this event into their myths and legends. In fact, there is which we will explore in Part 4: The 2012 Prophecy. We will also learn of the only prophecy for December 21, 2012 and, unfortunately, it sounds a lot like an impact event.
V. Comet Catastrophe
17. Rahu and Ketu: A Hindu Account
As noted in Part 3, Mayan mythology appears to accurately recount a catastrophic comet fragmentation and impact event that occurred around 3300 BC. According to these myths it appears that a super solar flare or coronal mass ejection was responsible for the fragmentation of the comet which led to four large fragments impacting the Earth’s oceans sending mega-tsunamis that devastated coastal civilizations of the time.
Since this was a global catastrophe, is there any evidence of this event recorded in the myths and legends of other cultures around the globe? The Maya referred to this comet as a Cosmic Crocodile or a Celestial Bird thus it is likely the myths of other cultures encoded this comet in similarly fantastical ways. Is there any evidence for this? In fact, there is.
This same story appears to have been recorded in Hindu mythology as well. As researcher Bob Kobres noted in his research about bird-comet connections:
“The bird-comet connection is even more obvious in the [Hindu epic] the MAHABHARATA which describes a fierce fowl with but one wing, one eye, and one leg, hovering in the night sky. As this bird ‘screams’ and ‘vomits blood,’ ‘All the quarters of the earth, being overwhelmed by showers of dust, look inauspicious. Fierce clouds, portentous of danger, drop bloody showers during the night. Rahu of fierce deeds is also, O monarch, afflicting the constellation Kirtika (Pleiades). Rough winds, portending fierce danger, are constantly blowing.’”[133]
Interestingly, this bird-comet is associated with blood rain and vomited blood just as the Crocodile Star or Cosmic Crocodile from the Mayan Flood Myth discussed in Part 3. Also interestingly, Kobres noted that Rahu was the “demon of eclipse, which originally had four arms and a tail that was severed by Vishnu to become Ketu (comet).“[134] Rahu was referred to as the head of the dragon and Ketu was called the tail of the dragon which “gave birth to comets and meteors.”[135]
According to Wikipedia:
In Hindu tradition, Rahu is a cut-off head of an asura, that swallows the sun or the moon causing eclipses. He is depicted in art as a serpent with no body riding a chariot drawn by eight black horses… Various names assigned to Rahu in Vedic texts—the chief, the advisor of the demons, the minister of the demons, ever-angry, the tormentor, bitter enemy of the luminaries, lord of illusions, one who frightens the Sun, the one who makes the Moon lusterless…Rahu is known as the "artificial sun"[136]
The origins of Rahu and Ketu sound very reminiscent of the Cosmic Crocodile myth. According to Hindu accounts, Vishnu threw his Sudarshan Chakra at Swarbhanu (Rahu) and cut him in half with the head being called Rahu and the body being called Ketu. Vishnu is believed by scholars to be an ancient Sun god. According to Hindu mythology Sudarshan Chakra was created from Sun “dust” after the Sun was dimmed.[137] In other words, Sudarshan Chakra was considered to be a piece of the sun thus Vishnu, a sun god, throwing Sudarshan Chakra, a piece of the sun, appears to represent either a solar flare or coronal mass ejection.

This Hindu story appears to support Paul LaViolette’s g
alactic superwave theory discussed in chapter 14, “The Galactic Center and the Blue Star Kachina,” which argued that eruptions from the galactic core, upon reaching the outer solar system, would vaporize comets in the Oort cloud and push this mass of dust and debris inward where it would fall onto the Sun, dimming the Sun and causing it to enter an active phase (called a T Tauri phase). During this active phase the sun would emit super solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Thus the sun dimming and then emitting solar flares and CMEs is consistent with the Hindu account of the Sudarshan Chakra (coronal mass ejection) forming after the sun was dimmed.
The fact that Rahu was known as the artificial sun is reminiscent of the eyewitness account from Tunguska that noted the meteor was like a second sun. The fact that Rahu “makes the Moon lusterless,” is the “bitter enemy of the luminaries,” and is associated with both solar and lunar eclipses likely resulted from the immense amount of dust thrown into the atmosphere from an impact event that blocked out the light from the Sun and Moon. This is reminiscent of the written records associated with the 536 AD event where the Sun and Moon were blotted out for eighteen months.
Thus, once again we have an ancient story of a comet whose tail was severed giving birth to comets and meteors and then vomiting blood just like in the Mayan Flood Myth.
Curiously, the fact that Rahu had four arms is similar to the Chinese design for the “long-tailed pheasant star.” In Carl Sagan’s book Comet, he noted that in a Chinese comet atlas this particular comet was shaped like a swastika.
