I have the elevation exaggerated at 35X to get a better idea of the hill and dell of it all. The more I look at these, the less I think they are related. Sacajewea runs north and south and Talamakin runs east and west. If one was an exit point, it would be jagged and spread out like Sacajewea. Entry of a "missile" is usually small and precise while it's exit is jagged. If they were related I would say that Talamakin was the entry point. Would it even be possible for a 300 or 600 mile wide object to penetrate, all the varied layers of the crust and mantle and come out on another side of earth? Would the object itself suffer the journey through without breaking up or melting down. <br />However, I do believe that they are craters or certainly locations of a couple huge events in the history of earth. Looking at the Talamakin Desert and the surrounding that include the emaciated Tibetin Plateau to the drainage toward eastern China and down into Indo-China one has to conclude that some sort of big-time drainage took place, not to mention the convolution to the west. As I looked at it today, I wondered if this might included water and fire. The plateau, I believe, was part of the massive mountain range and if you tilt the earth (in my Elevation Earth app), looking at it low and from east to west, there is a distinctive intrusion feathered from the east coast of China, across lower Mongolia, a low flying object against earth's rotation and plowing into these mountains creating the Talamakin Desert. My suspicion is that this object slammed the crust even unto the mantle which may explain in part the drastic subduction of India under this very mountain range (the Himilayas. It is fun to speculate and probably would be some fodder for good fiction at the very least.

The idea of 'Waters from the Great De...Hi Pat,<br /><br />The idea of 'Waters from the Great Deep' is discussed in my book 'Earth Epochs' page 257. In essence I discuss the Underground ocean of fresh water that is three times the size of all the oceans, lakes and rivers on the surface.<br /><br />In late 2014, several scientists published papers on the first direct evidence of massive reservoirs of sub surface water that is three times the size of Earth’s surface oceans. The reservoirs are deep below the Earth’s crust. As water filters down through the crust, it is 'purified' through that process, turning saline water into fresh or desalinated water. (Aboriginal use the process today to filter stream and river water, by digging a hole in the ground close to the flowing water, and using water that 'seeps' into the hole as drinking and cooking water.)<br /><br />Any transfer of the sub surface water to the surface oceans would cause massive flooding of the world’s oceans. I contend that is exactly what happened 12,900 years ago. The massive comet strike (The Sacajawea Impact Crater) penetrated the Earth’s crust, and the massive 'exit' crater in the Taklamakan Desert together released a vast amount of the Earth's subterranean water reservoir into the oceans, causing a global flood some 800’ above the then ocean level, or about 500’ about current sea level.<br /><br />Both entry and exit craters show evidence of massive flow, where the Sacajawea Crater shows eruption flow from the Northern side into BC, Yukon Territory and Alaska, as well as South into Utah, Nevada and California. The exit crater (Taklamakan) shows massive (and probably more sustained) flow to the East. The visual evidence supports the narrative of 'the fountains of the great deep' opening up, flooding the whole earth.<br /><br />I just realized the above information is contained in my book, but not in the blog, so I will edit that information into the blog in the next day or so.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />John Earth Epochshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00344758176883760323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2580295545859374984.post-73645898308626476982017-03-09T18:45:10.058-08:002017-03-09T18:45:10.058-08:00Once again, I am so glad folks are looking at our ...Once again, I am so glad folks are looking at our planet through real time eyes instead of established scientific dogma. All theories have merit but until validated, they are theories.<br />In my own (casual) studies, I have been taking a deeper look at the flood (Noah's) and wondering if perhaps during the recent "Last Great Cataclysm" as you state John, a lot more happened then we, to date, have estimated. This flood occupy the myths of civilizations globally although some may be copies from one another. In the Biblical description it talks about the fountains within the earth being opened. What caused this event that is would flood the planet or at the very least impact our world. I believe we were impacted by a large object, the "thunderbolt" being a viable candidate. What ever must have come from extreme pressure (like pressing on a full bladder). As I have continued to study the Talimakin desert, I am beginning to wonder if this might have been one of the fountains where water gushed out. Studying the flow away from this desert primarily southeasterly and west, well, how else can I describe it other that looking like muddied and washed out roads. I have jokingly said that the Grand Canyon looks like a big washout but there may be more truth than fiction on this joke. Water is powerful, I learned that while spending three and a half year aboard ship and seeing some horrendous damage done in some storms we were in. John your "Thunderbolt" info is facinating and very plausible. It would be interesting to see if there are magnetic anomalies in Sacajawea Crater or the Talimakin Desert and surroundings.

Sorry, I tend to disagree that the ...Hi Andrea,<br /><br />Sorry, I tend to disagree that the 'Eye of Africa' is an 'impact crater'. It shows almost no characteristics of an impact, and almost all the characteristic of a 'thunderbolt' strike, including 3 additional inline and progressively smaller bowls. The folks that do the 'Electric Universe' hypothosis, (Thornhill, et al) can do a creditable job of explaining the mechanics, and referencing other evidence of similar strikes throughout the Solar System, particularly the Moon and Mars.<br /><br />I make the case in Earth Epoch in some detail, that gravity as we know it, is in reality not a force as defined by Newton, but rather an Electrostatic Field and it is variable in "Density". Which would solve the mystery of giant to colossal flora and fauna in our geological past. If that is the case, then a passing planet could and probably would discharge a humongous strike (either positive of negative) effectively altering the the charge density of our Electrostatic envelope. The Mauritania strike, by appearance and if the relative time frame of the sudden extinction of giant flora and fauna, the strike occurred somewhere between the late Pleistocene to Mid Holocene. My personal opinion is that it occurred simultaneously with the "Last Great Cataclysm" 7K years ago. Because the Earth did in fact experience a density increase at that time. Though I will admit that it may have happened during the Younger Dryas event at 12,900 YBP or the earlier first Ice Melt surge of just under 15K years ago. In any case, it does appear to be a gigantic "thunderbolt" or lightning strike. Probably positive. <br /><br />At some time in our very cataclysmic past, there was a negative charge that left Earth's static envelope nearly devoid of density. That discharge strike caused a drain of the Electrostatic Field down to a very light charge which allowed for the growth of extreme land creatures, and mighty trees and other vegetation. Trees that were miles high, and ferns that grew to 100' tall. <br /><br />In any case, thanks for your response.<br /><br /> Earth Epochshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00344758176883760323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2580295545859374984.post-82593024979517707072017-03-09T01:52:15.751-08:002017-03-09T01:52:15.751-08:00Thank you for this, it has helped gauge the impact...Thank you for this, it has helped gauge the impact of the Eye of Africa, Mauritania.

I have never thought of it as an exit crater and this info will give me some food for the thought! Whatever happened definitely convoluted the areas to the west, created the Tibetin Plain and could have been responsible for the extreme upheaval of the mountain range to the south (Mt Everest etc). I would suspect that molten material flowed to the southeast down into Laos. I will also bet that there is a lot of gold down in the original flow. That what is looks like. Something huge happen there!Pat Wendtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2580295545859374984.post-42103320463315335832015-11-02T10:20:03.035-08:002015-11-02T10:20:03.035-08:00From chapter 10 of my book "Earth Epochs"...From chapter 10 of my book "Earth Epochs" free here: <br /><br />Black Mat - Excerpts from a News Release by UC Santa Barbara:<br /><br />In Central Mexico, Scientists have identified a thin, dark layer of “exotic” sediment materials in the floor of Lake Cuitzeo consisting of Nano diamonds, impact spherules and more, which are the result of a serious Earth impact caused by a cosmic body.<br /><br />This new data provided by James Kennett, Professor of Earth Sciences as UC, Santa Barbara and his 16 member international team is the latest to strongly support the controversial hypothesis that the Earth experienced a major cosmic impact 12,900 years ago. The researchers identified a family of Nano diamonds, including lonsdaleite, which is unique to cosmic impact by conducting a wide range of tests.<br />The team also found evidence of high velocity impact spherules that had collided with other spherules during the impact chaos. Kennett noted that such features could not have formed through volcanic, anthropogenic, or other natural processes. “These materials form only through cosmic impact,” he stated. <br />Based on the data and evidence which points to an extremely large asteroid or comet entering the atmosphere at a rather shallow angle with a very high heat index at impact. Surface heat increased to a level that melted surface rock and burned large quantities of biomass. The result caused major disruptions of the environment on a wide scale basis. <br /><br />Kennett explained: <br />“These results are consistent with earlier reported discoveries throughout North America of abrupt ecosystem change, megafauna extinction and human cultural change and population reduction.” <br />Age of the sediment layers, according to the research team is the same age as that reported at other locations in North America, Greenland and Western Europe, or about 13,000 years old. In the complete geologic column there are only two known continent wide layers with high peaks of Nano diamonds, impact spherule, and aciniform soot. These are the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary (and extinction level event) and the Younger-Dryas boundary event at 12,900 years ago that is closely associated with the extinction of many large North American animals, including saber tooth cats, dire wolves, mammoths and mastodons.<br /><br />Kennett said "The timing of the impact event coincided with the most extraordinary biotic and environmental changes over Mexico and Central America during the last approximately 20,000 years, as recorded by others in several regional lake deposits. These changes were large, abrupt, and unprecedented, and had been recorded and identified by earlier investigators as a ‘time of crisis.' ".<br /><br />Other scientists contributing to the research include Isabel Israde-Alcántara and Gabriela Dominguez-Vásquez of the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicólas de Hidalgo; James L. Bischoff of the U.S. Geological Survey; Hong-Chun Li of National Taiwan University; Paul S. DeCarli of SRI International; Ted E. Bunch and James H. Wittke of Northern Arizona University; James C. Weaver of Harvard University; Richard B. Firestone of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Allen West of GeoScience Consulting; Chris Mercer of the National Institute for Materials Science; Sujing Zie and Eric K. Richman of the University of Oregon, Eugene; and Charles R. Kinzie and Wendy S. Wolbach of DePaul University.<br /><br />It is more likely, rather than less likely that a major impact event occurred in the Pacific Northwest circa 12,900 YBP. As the Sacajawea crater bowl appears to be the only extant crater rim in the area, it is also likely that it is the impact point in question.<br /><br />John<br />Earth Epochshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00344758176883760323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2580295545859374984.post-45610869922182329332015-11-01T18:38:07.715-08:002015-11-01T18:38:07.715-08:00Has the Sacajawea Crater in Oregon been identified...Has the Sacajawea Crater in Oregon been identified by geologists using impact crater studies that include such things as shock metamorphosis, shock melt, petrology, remote imaging, or other similar means?
