Metamorphic Star

by Dwardu Cardona

This book is the fourth in the series--the first three being God Star, Flare Star, and Primordial Star--by the former editor of A Journal of Myth, Science and Ancient History. The event of the Younger Dryas that followed the warming spell at the end of the Pleistocene Ice Age captured the imagination of scientists and laymen during the first decade of the twenty-first century. While the present work deals with the real cause of that occurrence, it is prefaced with additional evidence in favor of the theoretical model advanced in its three prequels in which it is argued that the primordial Earth had basked beneath a different sun than the one that presently shines above us. This previous sun is there shown to have devolved into the present gaseous planet Saturn. The terrestrial devastation and the fear that the upheaval instilled in them, together with their attempt to placate its heavenly source led our ancestors to ritual pacification in their long climb toward a hope-filled faith that ended in religion. Stated so briefly, the above disclosures are bound to evoke adverse reactions among those steeped in the modern mythology. However, those who are prepared to investigate new grounds, will discover another huge cache of integrated evidence presented between the covers of this work.
