Im a history student whose concentration is the Viking age, I noticed our new texts had the exact 1021 date mentioned when we thought it as closer to the year 1000, I love science.
A good friend of mine is currently working on her Masters Degree in Iceland regarding Viking history and mythology. As she's originally from Bangkok seeing the aurora and snow for the first time, as well as the rift where the tectonic plates are spreading apart, have all been added bonuses.
I think it's because that particular house was built in 1021, with those particular logs. But who says that's the first house they built? Who says the first people who ever got there, built a house at all? Really, they could have been there a number of years or decades sooner. So for now, something close to 1,000 will have to do.
Hahahhahaha we can't even figure out when the great pyramid was built. How it was built. Who actually built it. Don't even get me started on the Sphinx or all the other massive structures and massive blocks around the world. We have ZERO CLUE. shoot science Sais masks of any type do not work yet Most think they work. Ya I just like to put that in because it makes so many SCIENCE needs mad but it helps prove how people only believe what they want.
The bad news is that the Vikings are way behind on the rent, and they haven't paid the water bill in ages. It's probably time to foreclose and give the land back to the Scrailings (what they called the Native Americans).
Some tax bill owed 😂. When I was first there in the early 70's it was "the mounds" to the locals with archaeologists digging and finding various artifacts, as the area was boggy the remnants of timbers were preserved. What you see today is reconstructions of the original buildings near the original site. At the time the year was estimated to be 1000ad from the Norse Sagas, to having an exact year now is pretty amazing.
I love how he covered the younger dryas possibly being completely wrong but then tells us about this that could basically replace the younger dryas catastrophe. Thanks Anton
QUAAAAK Quaak quackk quack quack! More humans gone! Not so many of us are going to get shot each year! Hooray for the Sun! Hooray for Aliens, and we're glad they like humans much more than ducks!
'Let's hope it's not that serious and we, uh, survive......and stuff'. It's sentences like that that keep me coming back for more of video's. Great video!
Thks for such an interesting piece on solar flares, particularly the possibility of a micronova event. They are those who postulate that the Younger Dryad event was caused by a super flare and not an asteroid strike. Suspicious Observer is one of them. Take care and keep up the excellent work.❤
One thing I've noticed is that it's always about what supernovae would do to the Earth. What about what happens to the Sun when one hits it? Those isotopes are consistent with a supernova. What if the supernova hitting the Sun is the catalyst that sparks these massive flares? It would make sense that an otherwise calm star would get supercharged flares after getting hit with supernova remnants, complete with supernova-consistent isotopes, especially if it was already nearing/at it's maximum anyways.
You mean the dead age. Meltdowns of all the nuclear reactors and spent fuel pools as they lose their cooling systems. The planet will be quickly radiation sterilized from pole to pole.
My bad. Me fergotz that the preferred term nowadays is "alive-challenged" instead of "dead". I'm feeling just so socially embarrassed and disgraced at the moment... What a social faux pas on my part!
Seriously, 10 times stronger than the Carrington event is mind-blowing. Something even greater than that is terrifying. I've prepared for the Carrington event just in case but I don't think any of those preparations would hold up to anything stronger. The Faraday cage would probably become the problem itself 😅
The term "red crucifix" is interesting. My very first aurora sighting was back in the early 60's at around 49.0 N. It finished up with what, until now, I called a red starburst effect. As it was asymmetrical "crucifix" would work as well.
Around 14,300 years ago is when melt water pulse 1a dumped a huge volume of water off the land back into the oceans. There was 1a and 1b around 2000 years later but the 1a no one can explain that much of a rapid melting, especially when there was still huge glaciation in Eastern Canada right up to around 8000 years ago...
Thanks for this insightful video Anton. This is an incredible subject to break down and share. Also, your big smile at the end of the video made me smile.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Always was fascinated by Solar Magnetic Disturbances when ever it came up in our training classes as a power system operator. Was disappointed when the market deregulation stole the acronym SMD to mean standard market design. But in retrospect the new replacement acronym GIC for ground induced currents is actually a better acronym since it brings to light the real potential for damage. The solar storms cause field collapse in the earths magnetic field that results in electric flows in the earths crust between the poles. The actual current flows are more common than people would think. There are common points on the North American power system that are continuously monitored in real-time and the activity is far more than you would expect. The only problem with learning how common place it was is that the case of the fires on the telegraph system seems far less remarkable. If they had been built in optimal locations it could have been happening quite frequently. 😂 Always funny when people think the currents are induced into the wires like a transformer when in fact the current is let onto the conductors thru wye wired auto transformers on the power grid located in different geographic locations with fault lines in between them. To the primarily dc currents in the crust of the earth the grounded AC transmission system appears to be a short circuit between locations in the earths crust. The damage on the power system comes from over saturation of the magnetic cores of the transformers. In the days of the telegraph they only ran one wire and used the ground as a return loop. The farther between telegraph stations the more step potential existed on the wire. As far as the affects solar storms had on satellite communication it primarily took place for about 30 min to an hour once a day when the dish looking at the satellite in geosynchronous orbit was over shadowed by the sun being directly behind the satellite blinding the reception dish on the ground looking up at it.
It's the ICMEs -- Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections -- that are the real danger to satellites, the Space Station and its crew as well as ground based equipment on the daylight side of the Earth. The flares and ICMEs are mild compared to those of main sequence spectral type M stars. Proxima Centauri is infamous for producing flares that are *thousands of times* more powerful than our mild Sun's.
I have a good one for you that has been nearly lost to history. There were places where iron railroad tracks glowed red. Long conductors? Look at the thousands of miles of welded rail we have here in the States. There are still a lot of wooden ties out there, and all are soaked in either coal tar or creosote. If such an event occurs in late summer, and it’s dry….
I saw the auroras all the way in North Carolina in 2005 when a solar event hit our Van Allen Belts. 1021 is just the only RECORDED time that Vikings were in “Vinland” but someone came before that passed the location off to the Vikings who arrived later.
I was thinking that. The tree rings only show the year that particular house was built. It may have been the first long house they built, or it might not have been, but you're right that whoever arrived first would then have turned back to report the news and bring settlers. That first arrival might have left a party behind to get things ready for the settlers as well.
St. Brendan and the unknown monks that travelled similar routes before him. A lot of Norwegian vikings ended up in Iceland via Ireland, after the battle of Clontarf in 1014. Before the monks, my money is on the Phoenicians.
Didn't see any with the naked eye but my DSLR camera caught the red glow back in March this year when that halo eruption blew on the opposite side of the earth facing sun. Even at work the next day a random ceiling fan started buzzing and sparking out of nowhere.
That spooky. I was just talking to an older client today (he is 76) about how current society could collaspe from a super flare. Imagine, all comsumer grade electronics just fried all at once. Cause, you know, our stuff is not harden for such an event. Why would it. That terrifying.
A super flare would generate EM radiation in the high UV and X-ray frequencies. This EM radiation would ionize the upper atmosphere on the daylight side of earth disrupting some telecommunication. Our atmosphere shields us on the ground. However, it is an ICME -- Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection -- that poses danger to vulnerable equipment on the ground.
Anton waxing on about the potential of us technologically waxing off feels bizarrely comforting this time. And yes, I know it's not quite the same spelling.
If it turns out the Sun DOES occasionally produce a super-flare comparable to what some Red Dwarfs produce, and life on the surface more-or-less remained unaffected (biologically speaking anyway), that might bode well for the habitability of some terrestrial planets around Red Dwarfs.
@@porcus123The EM field is one of the main reasons why we should give a lot more serious consideration to colonizing Venus with blimps instead of Mars with cave complexes. It's not even a tenth as crazy as it first sounds.
The proximity of red dwarf planets to their primary is the problem. They get hit far more often and analysis indicates that the flares strip the atmosphere off the planet surface - basically the closer you are the more often you get hit as the probability is proportional to the area of the sky the primary fills. Venus gets hit twice as often as Earth for the same reason. Genetic analyses also indicate that between 900,000 and 800,000 years ago humans as a species almost became extinct with less than 1200 people alive during that interval. Extinction level events are far more common than people think…
@@zadenwachter9918 Also, gravity and atmosphere, it's conceivable to go outside floating town "just" by wearing acid-proof clothing and breating apparatus unlike in Mars.
We will have a warning days in advance, so fortunately/unfortunately it will be basically just a few days when u have to keep all ur electrical appliances off. Inconvenient yes, but certainly not catastrophic.
@@kunalsingh4418 No need to keep electronics off, the electromagnetic field will melt much of electronics anyhow. Like most transformers, capacitors etc would burn no matter power on or off. So some diesel engines one could just start it by pushing the car/tractor and it may work, but probably no petrol car.
@@tondekoddar7837 Exactly! Look up the reports of telegraphs still working after being disconnected from power source during the Carrington event. When the ground beneath your feet is juiced so much to induce current, it won’t matter you set the device to off or not, it’s going to be getting power from the open circuit it makes with ground.
There is an academic record of dendrochronology going back thousands of years with data from around the world, all of it subject to peer review. so as reliable as we can make it.
Yup this is what killed off the people of Gobekli Tepi, the sun has a heartbeat and the changing of the tides of the earth occurs every 11,000-13,000 years. The ancient people were highly aware of the earths geomagnetic field and the effects of the sun upon the earth. We are now well overdue for the next cycle, though these cycles generally occur during solar minimum. Our next solar minimum is the year 2050.
I believe the red cross was a unique ice halo event… perhaps a sun pillar or an extra long Subsun intersecting with a Parry arc..the light effects maybe influenced by a volcanic eruption, adding just the right amount and kind or size of particles into the atmosphere at the right time. History books suggest that Constantine decided to accept Christianity based on a similar sighting after a large battle… weird how weather can influence stuff
I wonder if the ramifications of an event like this caused a Mega Fauna extinction 14 thousand years ago, and possibly the demise of the Gobekli Tepe civilization in Turkey?
That it did. The destroyer appeared and the destroyer, the black hole sun set the sky ablaze and set civilization back to zero, ending the early golden age of civilization.
If the spikes were from a NOVA, we would clearly see the remnant, right? Pretty much limits it to super flare of our sun... just like all the other stars like ours give off.
Novae are produced by white dwarfs and not our Sun. A super flare poses no danger to us on the ground since our atmosphere protects us from the EM radiation produced by the flare. The EM radiation does ionize the upper atmosphere which may interfere with telecommunications.
It's a lot easier for solar weather to mess with us when the field is low, and it is speculated that the geomagnetic field was very low back then, and it's dropping right now rapidly
This raises the question of which types of stars could host planets that might harbor life. It seems like even slightly larger stars might produce even more powerful storms which would endanger life and even any atmosphere on planets that orbit the star. Is it something in the star or possibly something crashing into a star that can create a storm?
Yes, this fits perfectly with the Older Dryas. Some texts give a 400 year variable for the beginning of this event, which lasted 200 years. Therefore, the Older Dryas happened between 14,000 and 14,400 years BP. Other texts I've read put the date at 14,300 years BP. Now we know what precipitated this relatively brief interstadial (although very long by human lifetime standards).
Gotta love a place called "Vinland", the home of Dionysus. Even so the Vikings got some of their names confused. Iceland is more green than Greenland which also has more ice than Iceland.
I come from Denmark and the thing ive heard mentioned is that greenland was later discovered and named such to allure people, probably just an old folks tale tho
Part of a journal of Columbus said he went to "Tile" to inquire about voyages to the west. That was his spelling of Thule, aka, Iceland. That was in the winter of 1477-1478. Leif Ericson was commonplace knowledge and the Scandinavian pioneers (not Vikings since they were not pirates and they were not pagans) went to Canada every year for logging then Columbus knew about America -- and that he could not claim to be the first. Of course, he must have thought it was Siberia (our term). This also gives him a valid reason to take the best case data 3 times to get an Ocean-Sea (as he called the Atlantic-Pacific) so narrow that a voyage of one to three months would be feasible.
One small bit of good news, if there is a super flare we'll have some advance warning from the various solar probes like ACE and DSCOVR. Since solar wind is so much slower than light speed, ACE would be able to see the light speed precursors like gamma and x-rays, and we'd be warned by radio from ACE to Earth at light speed. Light takes 8 to 9 mins to get to Earth, the solar wind mass ejection is nearly 1000x slower (400 to 500 km/sec). So we might have some time to actually throw some circuit breakers to ride out the storm. The other good news is that CME's are randomly distributed on the Sun, so 50% are going to happen on the far side and 50% on the near side. There's even evidence that a CME can be on the near side but still have moderate effect on the earth because the plume weakens as you move in longitude east or west of the center.
Flares do not always generate ICMEs. Super-flares are not dangerous to us because our atmosphere blocks γ- and X-rays as well as high energy UV radiation. They do ionize our upper atmosphere interfering with some telecommunications.
CMEs can move at different speeds. There is a record of a double-tap, of a second CME following at a much faster speed because the earlier CME had cleared the way. If we throw those breakers, there's a possibility that a second CME could hit right after you turn reconnect the breakers because it wasn't detected because detection and communications systems were powered down
Even ten minutes warning would be enough to take the grid transformers offline. If they are blown by the event they will take months or years to replace. Months or years of no electricity. Can you imagine how a modern city would fare?
You are not wrong, technically, but consider the human element. Some detector gives 10 minutes warning. The post-grad monitoring it is asleep... no warning. The post grad is awake and telephones his boss, who wants to verify the warning ... down 5 minutes. The boss rings ... who exactly? Are these warning systems in even in place? The person rung by the boss wants to verify the event .. game over. The person rung accepts the advice and calls who? Each electricity company in turn? Game over. Unless there is an automatic system that throws the breakers then 10 minutes is not enough warning. If people with jobs on the line for false alarm mistakes are included in that 10 mins then 10 hours is probably not enough warning. And that is accepting that just throwing the breakers is enough to solve the problem.
@manw3bttcks Even with two days of warning, one can't move every bit of consumer electronics to EMP- nuclear proof shelter (say, Finland has bombshelters for almost every citizen, many smaller powerplants underground having lots of granite above them, roadway tunnels side-entrances some very deep having pools etc just for when Rus next attacks Finns) - not really possible to move, not to mention wiring inside housing creating fires. Add all transformers and powerplants that can't be moved at all, heck of a flare/whatever Miyaki events are, for even once every few hundred years... Should check possible/probable magnetic field variations to see how much energy might be inside straight wire, not to mention any condensator or coil during said event.
Dendrochronology is a really interesting dating method, it's based on the tree rings, but not simply their number, their thickness, colour and structure is a reflection of the local weather conditions in the area the tree grew in. Trees of different ages in from the same area that shared some years of their lives' time will have a few matching tree rings characteristics, leading to being able to date when the tree was cut, and then with a database of the tree rings in the area it can be dated in relation to today. It is actually more accurate than C14 dating, simply limited by the amount of data available in the area.
America would have offered the Vikings a subsistence living whereas staying in Scandinavia or going to France or England would have possibly been more lucrative and offered them a better life.
I saw a CCP EMP paper missile strike, 56 miles south of LA, near some small island, and fried two large tourist ships of all their electronics and crashed on the shoreline! George Noory of Coast to Coast was on top of the story and even had photographs of the missile and the serial numbers, proving it was made in China! The US was doing war maneuvers near Taiwan and wanted to see how soon our Coast Guard would respond! They expected 15 minutes but it took 45 minutes! I seen the explosion from the water tower south of Santa Clarita, just north of LA. It was a brilliant flash, with purple and blue rings spreading out in circular patterns! I thought, OMG, LA just got nuked, but it was very high and too far away but made me realize if China was so aggressive we could be struck anytime!
Somewhat before the dates of Göbekli Tepe. In fact, an ancient mystery, perhaps, to those ancient people. 2-3,000 Years Anterior to their Stone Temple Activity.
We live in a very dangerous place. There are so many ways for some or all of us to have our subscription to life cancelled. Be grateful for every day and make the most of it. You never know if it might be your last.
One of these events would only be a problem today, for the way we live today. It'll be ironic that the knowledge we have developed from communication via high tech, will be compromised by an event that destroys that level of communication. Just hope we've a printed hard copy to hand somewhere.

Thank you for the video Anton.
Peaceful skies.
Thank you.
That was interesting and answered some questionns I had.
As amazing as seeing a Carrinton type event happen, it would be catastrophic for modern society 😮
We will have a warning days in advance, so fortunately/unfortunately it will be basically just a few days when u have to keep all ur electrical appliances off. Inconvenient yes, but certainly not catastrophic.
@@kunalsingh4418 No need to keep electronics off, the electromagnetic field will melt much of electronics anyhow. Like most transformers, capacitors etc would burn no matter power on or off.
So some diesel engines one could just start it by pushing the car/tractor and it may work, but probably no petrol car.
@@tondekoddar7837 Exactly! Look up the reports of telegraphs still working after being disconnected from power source during the Carrington event. When the ground beneath your feet is juiced so much to induce current, it won’t matter you set the device to off or not, it’s going to be getting power from the open circuit it makes with ground.
@@user-re6ww8fp3g electronics != electro installations. All microchips will melt. My 300tdi will still work.
@@Schachtens That didn't happen at all in Quebec in the 80s, and that was before we had any early warning system
This video is important thank you Anton.
Where did that dendrochronology timeline come from? That looked extremely interesting.
There is an academic record of dendrochronology going back thousands of years with data from around the world, all of it subject to peer review. so as reliable as we can make it.
Fits right into the theories proposed by the ancient collapse research.
Yup this is what killed off the people of Gobekli Tepi, the sun has a heartbeat and the changing of the tides of the earth occurs every 11,000-13,000 years. The ancient people were highly aware of the earths geomagnetic field and the effects of the sun upon the earth. We are now well overdue for the next cycle, though these cycles generally occur during solar minimum. Our next solar minimum is the year 2050.
@@xl7667 the ancient people were aware so they moved too under ground shelter and lived happily ever after right?
You think it stopped those Annunaki smart wristwatches, or the SuperPC in their purses? 😉
@@kwgm8578 that makes sense good theory 🌈 ❤ 🌈 ❤
Their telegraph machines stopped working and they died out???
Fascinating, as always!
good onya Anton thanks man!💖🙏
I believe the red cross was a unique ice halo event… perhaps a sun pillar or an extra long Subsun intersecting with a Parry arc..the light effects maybe influenced by a volcanic eruption, adding just the right amount and kind or size of particles into the atmosphere at the right time. History books suggest that Constantine decided to accept Christianity based on a similar sighting after a large battle… weird how weather can influence stuff
How to make electronics resistant against such events?
Faraday cage.
I wonder if the ramifications of an event like this caused a Mega Fauna extinction 14 thousand years ago, and possibly the demise of the Gobekli Tepe civilization in Turkey?
That it did. The destroyer appeared and the destroyer, the black hole sun set the sky ablaze and set civilization back to zero, ending the early golden age of civilization.
@@xl7667 Can I have some of what you took?
If the spikes were from a NOVA, we would clearly see the remnant, right? Pretty much limits it to super flare of our sun... just like all the other stars like ours give off.
Novae are produced by white dwarfs and not our Sun. A super flare poses no danger to us on the ground since our atmosphere protects us from the EM radiation produced by the flare. The EM radiation does ionize the upper atmosphere which may interfere with telecommunications.
Possibly not if it turned to black hole or ejected neutron star.
It's a lot easier for solar weather to mess with us when the field is low, and it is speculated that the geomagnetic field was very low back then, and it's dropping right now rapidly
Love and blessings to you and your family ❤
This raises the question of which types of stars could host planets that might harbor life. It seems like even slightly larger stars might produce even more powerful storms which would endanger life and even any atmosphere on planets that orbit the star. Is it something in the star or possibly something crashing into a star that can create a storm?
Overdue? Are you saying the Carington Event was not powerful enough to qualify? That’s scary, at least for our electronics anyway.
Hello wonderful Anton.
Thank you for using AD/BC dating notation.
Remember that A.D. always comes *before* the year, e.g. *A.D.* 2023.
I love a good hustory lesson. I particularly like world hustory 🙌
I love Hustory!!
Haha, j/k Anton, your channel is the best!
Lets hope we survive and stuff! :)
Just as the ancient writings and pictrograms of Australia, North and South America, Scandinavia and Egypt. What a shocker!
That's pretty cool.
The red cross would most likely be a sprite. With that much energy smacking the planet, it seems the best bet.
Yes, this fits perfectly with the Older Dryas. Some texts give a 400 year variable for the beginning of this event, which lasted 200 years. Therefore, the Older Dryas happened between 14,000 and 14,400 years BP. Other texts I've read put the date at 14,300 years BP. Now we know what precipitated this relatively brief interstadial (although very long by human lifetime standards).
Thanks
Me: wow, that was a good Anton video 🤔
Anton: "...Anyways, hello, Wonderful Person" 😃
Me: wtf 😳
Gotta love a place called "Vinland", the home of Dionysus. Even so the Vikings got some of their names confused. Iceland is more green than Greenland which also has more ice than Iceland.
I come from Denmark and the thing ive heard mentioned is that greenland was later discovered and named such to allure people, probably just an old folks tale tho
Ah, yes, more existential dread. Just what the doctor ordered. Great vid :)
Stress more like , and for some Anxiety .
Just in time for the older dryas event .....wait a minute
Part of a journal of Columbus said he went to "Tile" to inquire about voyages to the west. That was his spelling of Thule, aka, Iceland. That was in the winter of 1477-1478. Leif Ericson was commonplace knowledge and the Scandinavian pioneers (not Vikings since they were not pirates and they were not pagans) went to Canada every year for logging then Columbus knew about America -- and that he could not claim to be the first. Of course, he must have thought it was Siberia (our term). This also gives him a valid reason to take the best case data 3 times to get an Ocean-Sea (as he called the Atlantic-Pacific) so narrow that a voyage of one to three months would be feasible.
Type 1a supernova is on the way, with a massive EMP bigger than 1859.

One small bit of good news, if there is a super flare we'll have some advance warning from the various solar probes like ACE and DSCOVR. Since solar wind is so much slower than light speed, ACE would be able to see the light speed precursors like gamma and x-rays, and we'd be warned by radio from ACE to Earth at light speed. Light takes 8 to 9 mins to get to Earth, the solar wind mass ejection is nearly 1000x slower (400 to 500 km/sec). So we might have some time to actually throw some circuit breakers to ride out the storm.
The other good news is that CME's are randomly distributed on the Sun, so 50% are going to happen on the far side and 50% on the near side. There's even evidence that a CME can be on the near side but still have moderate effect on the earth because the plume weakens as you move in longitude east or west of the center.
Flares do not always generate ICMEs. Super-flares are not dangerous to us because our atmosphere blocks γ- and X-rays as well as high energy UV radiation. They do ionize our upper atmosphere interfering with some telecommunications.
CMEs can move at different speeds. There is a record of a double-tap, of a second CME following at a much faster speed because the earlier CME had cleared the way. If we throw those breakers, there's a possibility that a second CME could hit right after you turn reconnect the breakers because it wasn't detected because detection and communications systems were powered down
Even ten minutes warning would be enough to take the grid transformers offline. If they are blown by the event they will take months or years to replace. Months or years of no electricity. Can you imagine how a modern city would fare?
You are not wrong, technically, but consider the human element. Some detector gives 10 minutes warning. The post-grad monitoring it is asleep... no warning.
The post grad is awake and telephones his boss, who wants to verify the warning ... down 5 minutes. The boss rings ... who exactly? Are these warning systems in even in place?
The person rung by the boss wants to verify the event .. game over. The person rung accepts the advice and calls who? Each electricity company in turn? Game over.
Unless there is an automatic system that throws the breakers then 10 minutes is not enough warning. If people with jobs on the line for false alarm mistakes are included in that 10 mins then 10 hours is probably not enough warning.
And that is accepting that just throwing the breakers is enough to solve the problem.
@manw3bttcks Even with two days of warning, one can't move every bit of consumer electronics to EMP- nuclear proof shelter (say, Finland has bombshelters for almost every citizen, many smaller powerplants underground having lots of granite above them, roadway tunnels side-entrances some very deep having pools etc just for when Rus next attacks Finns) - not really possible to move, not to mention wiring inside housing creating fires.
Add all transformers and powerplants that can't be moved at all, heck of a flare/whatever Miyaki events are, for even once every few hundred years...
Should check possible/probable magnetic field variations to see how much energy might be inside straight wire, not to mention any condensator or coil during said event.
Dendrochronology is a really interesting dating method, it's based on the tree rings, but not simply their number, their thickness, colour and structure is a reflection of the local weather conditions in the area the tree grew in. Trees of different ages in from the same area that shared some years of their lives' time will have a few matching tree rings characteristics, leading to being able to date when the tree was cut, and then with a database of the tree rings in the area it can be dated in relation to today. It is actually more accurate than C14 dating, simply limited by the amount of data available in the area.
I think it is a good guess that this was NOT a solar storm, but rather the impact of the Vela supernova.
If one happens now it’d be absolute bliss for freedom, particularly but not exclusively online freedom
I saw a red auroral crucifix about 90’ arc over head in Ireland during an extraordinary event about 18 years ago.
Its almost as if the star our planet circles drives the cycles of life.
Our ancestors were onto something.
It's call precession -- the change in the direction of the Earth's axis of rotation. It takes 25,772 years to make a full cycle.
Cheers mate 🙏❤️✨️
I'm hoping the rapid shifting poles aren't a precursor to the micro nova you spoke of. 🌞🖖
I think a pole shift would simply make us more vulnerable to CMEs, so there would need to be a coincidental CME happening at the same time.
@@theterminaldaveCorrect.
Micronova only occur on stellar remnants
excellent pronunciation of Newfoundland!
Wow, scary stuff.
Thank you.
America would have offered the Vikings a subsistence living whereas staying in Scandinavia or going to France or England would have possibly been more lucrative and offered them a better life.
In the 10th and 11th centuries the Vikings did invade and settle in Ireland, Britain and France.
@@douglaswilkinson5700 not always invade, sometimes it was by treaty like in Normandy.
"...and stuff." lol I like it. Optimism!

I saw a CCP EMP paper missile strike, 56 miles south of LA, near some small island, and fried two large tourist ships of all their electronics and crashed on the shoreline! George Noory of Coast to Coast was on top of the story and even had photographs of the missile and the serial numbers, proving it was made in China! The US was doing war maneuvers near Taiwan and wanted to see how soon our Coast Guard would respond! They expected 15 minutes but it took 45 minutes! I seen the explosion from the water tower south of Santa Clarita, just north of LA. It was a brilliant flash, with purple and blue rings spreading out in circular patterns! I thought, OMG, LA just got nuked, but it was very high and too far away but made me realize if China was so aggressive we could be struck anytime!
Your thumbnail saws "hustorical" records...which I find "hysterical". 😂😂
Hey Anton, there's a small typo in the thumbnail 😊
Somewhat before the dates of Göbekli Tepe. In fact, an ancient mystery, perhaps, to those ancient people. 2-3,000 Years Anterior to their Stone Temple Activity.
We live in a very dangerous place. There are so many ways for some or all of us to have our subscription to life cancelled. Be grateful for every day and make the most of it. You never know if it might be your last.
One of these events would only be a problem today, for the way we live today. It'll be ironic that the knowledge we have developed from communication via high tech, will be compromised by an event that destroys that level of communication.
Just hope we've a printed hard copy to hand somewhere.
squatting man... look it up. For me: damn near confirms part of that theory.
Lol! What 'theory'?
