The Toltecs believed in the Norse tree Yggdrasil?
I guess my anthropology prof was remiss in omitting that in the section of the course I took on Native North Americans that dealt with Mesoamerica. That's really odd, since he was a very thorough instructor.
Yes, the 9 worlds anyway and thats what the tree represents... But I meant to show how the #9 appeared in both Toltec and Norse cosmology. Did your professor tell you about Votan? He's a Central American god... and thats one of Odin's names. Woden, Wotan, Votan. Might be a connection, number nine... number nine ... number nine...number nine. But a recent diffusion.
Plate tectonics explains the creation of mountains and volcanoes, and helps to explain how some types of animals - if not the exact species - are ubiquitous the world over and some others are unique to a single continent (like the really weird animals in Australia). Mixing and mingling during the times when the continents were large, and becoming isolated when they broke apart.
It isn't in the bible or any other holy text. The earliest reference I could find to anything to do with it was a comment in an article about Leonardo da Vinci, musing about mountains rising from the sea. I'm sure you know that Leonardo lived long after the bronze age.
What started plate tectonics? Remember the link to the mystery of the Moon's tilt? Mass totaling 60-120% of the Moon hit the Earth in a series of collisions disrupting the Moon's tilt... or maybe... the collisions changed the Earth's tilt. This battering happened about 4 bya, for how long idk but thats what caused plate tectonics.
The crust was plastered releasing rock and water and when things settled down Earth had less water and a thinner crust with multiple 'bubbles' of especially dense 'rock' sinking into the mantle. Researchers have found evidence this happened by studying seismic waves traveling thru the mantle, these blobs of hotter and denser material came from impacts.
When something hits the Earth it drives plate tectonics. A rock about 6 miles wide hit Mexico ~66 mya and it triggered a vast eruption of magma on the other side of the world in India. When 50-100 mile wide rocks hit the Earth the denser material sinks into the mantle churning up material sending it to the surface. Impacts started plate tectonics.
Thats why the Moon's face is a vast impact basin, the material hitting it was dense. The side of the Moon facing us is denser and lower in elevation than the far side. Maybe that was the side facing the incoming rogue planet and its moons when the Earth was hit several times. The end result was plate tectonics and life. God's "Light" produced day and night, thats a collision spinning this world.
You haven't provided any evidence! And now you're saying that some stuff that contradicts your interpretation might be unrelated... so why is it there, then?
How does that other stuff contradict my interpretation? Not every image on a wall of rock art will depict the same thing, Look at the Incan depiction of their creation story, Viracocha is an ellipse. I didn't interpret that, the Inca said its Viracocha. So now we have an idea how Viracocha may be represented by past cultures like the Nazca ground images of animals with 4-5 and 5-6 fingers.
No wonder it explains nothing.
it explains all sorts of oddities about the solar system, from a tilted asteroid belt to planets that dont orbit the Sun's equatorial plane. They've been dragged off it by a large planet with an elliptical inclined orbit. I'm sure these people looking for the 9th planet are aware of Sitchin and I'll bet they're focusing on the southern hemisphere.
