Summary notes/topics:

Near miss of recent “city killer” asteroid (MIT Technology Review article and orbit animation)

Why not detected earlier?

If at large end of estimated size – volume 19x greater than Tunguska object from 1908

Equivalent to 28,000 Hiroshima bombs – could take out states or small countries

Possible ramifications – civilization disruptor, EMP, mass deaths

Other recent asteroid mile wide, with one-third mile satellite object

Asteroids and comets spectrum of objects

BREAK

Armageddon movie; Texas-size object would be seen early

Mission to Mars movie and Richard Hoagland previous meetings

ViewMaster slides of Tom Corbett Space Cadet on Hoagland’s website

Whole scenario was pre-published in 1951

Stop motion animation for dinosaurs et al. Ray Harrehausen

Randall’s favorites and childhood memories

Satirical comic “The Tick” used ViewMaster to solve crimes

Scenes from Tom Corbett Space Cadet with tetrahedral pyramid

RC had set of big little books that are now quite valuable

BREAK

Left off talking about the academic view of Atlantis: Fact or Fiction

Was Plato’s retelling an allegory or actual historical facts

Go back and read Timaeus and Critius

Russian Viatcheslav’s paper from 1997 – Atlantis: a New Hypothesis

Plato used Greek word “nesos” indisputably translated as “island”

Various accounts all deviate in one way or another from Plato

Opening quote from Timaeus – with Critias speaking, says it’s “certainly true”

Citing elders passing down tales like citing other scientists in published papers

Knowledge passed down through oral traditions – rote, that didn’t change details at all

More from beginning of Timaeus dialogues

BREAK

Critias relays a veritable account from Solon to the Socratic forum

The Egyptian priests tell Solon that the Hellenes (Greeks) have a short memory due to repeated catastrophe by multiple agencies

Recognize the myth of Phaeton as an actual story (find Bullfinch’s retelling)

Helios tries to talk Phaeton out of wanting to drive his chariot

Reading of extracts from the Fall of Phaeton from Bullfinch’s Mythology

Russ asks about the reference to “thunderbolts – space debris, or electrical discharges?

BREAK

Heliades were the sisters that were grief-stricken and their tears drown the world

The Phaeton story is a preface to the Atlantis story as told to Solon

Phaeton artwork by Sebastiano and Gustav Moreau with symbolism

Solon told that there have been many destructions of civilizations, and even where they were from in Athens, a great citizenry of preeminence, of which there is little record, because it was before the greatest of floods

The common goddess of both their cities

The date of 11,600 years ago matches precisely with the end of the Younger-Dryas

“Where are those Sacred Registers?”

BREAK

Location of the groups of islands and Pillars of Heracles, and more islands

Question about navigating amongst the islands with sea levels lower

Could there be a sunken landmass in that area? Too many coincidences to ignore the possibility

To wrap up: Myth of Phaeton highly suggestive of Earth encounter with a comet; meltwater pulse 1B and subsidence among other events at 11,600 BP

Fun and cool stuff to do and talk about!
