Ancient Date Line

I enjoyed the research – trust you will get to enjoy the journey of our weather too. We get to see the impact it has on the lives of so many.

I refer to this BLOG, as unavoidable, I ask that you just go with it

My research into our ANCIENT Weather started around 21 000 BP. A lot was allowed to be understood.

Thank you to our ATMOSPHERIC SCIENTISTS, METEOROLOGIST and CLIMATOLOGIST, as they relentlessly studied the effects of the Polar Front Jet Stream, a high-altitude fast-moving wind belt. It had a major influence on the weather across Europe, bringing precipitation, wind, and snow from the Atlantic across the continent. The result was that the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, and Spain were mostly wetter than the present day. So was the Mediterranean area especially the East, the Balkans, Greece, and Turkey, including MESOPOTAMIA, and the UAE regions.

We see the weather going through some rapid Climate Changes, from around 12 000 BP, the period ending the LAST GREAT ICE AGE from around 11 000 BP. Then a sudden rapid warmer weather arrived on EARTH and remained to around 9 500 BCE. The weather steadied, but was still warmer, with Winters, around -30 – 4 Degrees Celsius and summer around 12 – 16 Degrees Celsius.

The effect of those sudden climate changes and warmer weather resulted in massive ICE SHEETS being eroded. This is still in evidence today in the HIGHLANDS of MODERN-DAY BRITAIN and SCOTLAND.

The DATELINE places us inside the HOLOCENE PERIOD, around 10 900 BCE. The effects of this YDR, (the YOUNGER DRYAL) resulted in reversals taking place. ‘Reversal,’ means sudden and SHARP COLDER weather, referred to as the DEPTH OF COLD, when mid-winter dropped to -16 to -20 Degrees Celsius and Summers only reaching 8 – 12 Degrees Celsius.

It is believed that should this weather be repeated today, it is argued that civilization as we know it would cease.

Around 8 400 BCE, the temperatures and humidity increased. Temperatures around Mid-Winter 0 to 4 Degrees and High Summer 14 to 18 Degrees Celsius were the norm.

The year 6 500 BCE is known as the ATLANTIC ERA. This stretched between 4 000 BCE to around 3 5000 BCE. EARTH suffered some mean rainfalls, and between 6 200 BCE to 5 500 BCE and 4 000 BCE to around 3 500 BCE. These years are regarded as the MAJOR CLIMATIC OPTIMUMS. Evidence also indicates that SEA LEVELS could have risen by 30 to 45 meters.

It is believed that PRESSURE was higher and much less intense than before or since. Annual Temperatures rose by +2 Degrees Celsius. Winters were warmer with Moderate Humidity, but with periods of heavy rainfalls, some of lengthy durations. . . . . Possibly during the 150 years of NOAH.

And around 8 000 BCE to 6 500 BCE the SEA LEVELS started rising, in response to the POST ICE AGE. This continued until 2 500 BCE, and this is around the ‘FLOOD’ OF NOAH. This results in the loss of the land of SUMER and the land referred to as the GARDEN OF EDEN. UR and LAGASH became harbor towns. Was NOAH’S Flood a ‘true’ flood?

This rising of the MAJOR SEA LEVELS around the world, sees many of our LAND BRIDGES disappearing, due to thermal expansion of the SEA WATER, and the melting LAND BASED ICE.

In, 3 000 BCE, the BRONZE AGE is midway, and we see a bit of respite from MAJOR STORMS, excessive rainfall, and a renewed increase in temperatures. Glaciers and ‘permanent’ snow-patches are less prominent. There is increased forest cover and more ‘exposed upland areas. The people of the time did not hesitate, and we see the start of renewed building of STONE CIRCLES, as observatories, and HOMESTEADS.

An event took place around 5 000 BCE when a huge VOLCANIC ERUPTION occurred in SUMATRA, to day INDONESIA. This is thought to have released 2 800 km^3 of ash pyroclastic material. Then the second largest, eruption happened in modern-day on the Island LUZON at PINATUBO in 1991 CE/AD, in PHILIPPINES. Early warning systems saved the lives of over 5 000 people. The results of this VOLCANIC eruption will for many years have major effects on the world’s weather. After five years, the valley-filled pyroclastic deposits still reports temperatures above five hundred Degrees Celsius. It is believed that they will retain that heat for many more years. After a 500-year slumber, that Volcanic Eruption rendered the Island of LUZON uninhabitable.

Our BRONZE AGE TIMELINE, allowed for a lot, but historians cannot to-date know for sure what caused the BRONZE AGE to collapse. Many believe the transition was sudden and violent and culturally disruptive.

THE BRONZE AGE

6 200 BCE – First COPPER smelting in ANATOLIA | TURKEY – 3 800 BCE – Earliest BRONZE workings

3 650 BCE – Invention of the WHEEL | 3 500 BCE – Farming has spread across EUROPE

3 000 BCE – 2 550 BCE – TROY I – First Stone Walled Village Settlements

1 200 BCE – The BRONZE AGE ended abruptly in the MIDDLE EAST, NORTH AFRICA, and MIDDLE EUROPE

Major BRONZE AGE civilizations including MYCENAEAN, GREEK, THE HITTITE EMPIRE, TURKEY, and ANCIENT EGYPT, fell within a short period in time. ANCIENT cities were abandoned, trade routes were lost, and literacy declined throughout these regions. Scholars believe a combination of natural catastrophes may have brought down several BRONZE AGE EMPIRES.

Archaeological evidence suggests a succession of severe droughts in the EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN region over a 150 to a 300-year period from 1 250 BCE to around 1 100 BCE, contributed to the collapse.

Earthquakes, famine, socio-political unrests, and invasions by nomadic tribes may also have played a role in the COLLAPSE OF THE BRONZE AGE IN 1 100 BCE.

Our journey will most certainly cover the comings and goings of our BIBLICAL FAMILIES over these periods.

I am sure you can see the effects of the weather on our FIRST BIBLICAL FAMILIES and how and why they got to be on the move, other than to expand their estates.
