Huge Rock Slide 4,800 Years Ago Forged National Park



If you've ever gazed into Zion canyon in southwestern Utah's Zion National Park, it's hard not to be awed by the site of the Sentinel, the majestic 7,157-foot-high mountain that stands guard over the landscape. But flash back to 4,800 years ago -- for perspective, about 250 years before Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza was built -- and the scene looked a bit different. The Sentinel was considerably bigger, and the floor of Zion Canyon wasn't quite so flat. That's when the mountainside collapsed, and released a massive avalanche of rocks that careened down the slope at up to 200 miles an hour. The event dumped enough debris to bury New York City's Central Park, all 843 acres of it, under a layer 275 feet deep.

Would you believe that an event that occurred 4,800 years ago can be seen in its discovery chart today? Well let us see. We begin with the mundane map of the last solar eclipse at Utah's Zion National Park.  The eclipse with its Jupiter-Saturn T-square straddles the horizon. On the Ascendant is eta (η) Ursa Major, Alkaid,  a brilliant white star on the tail of the Great Bear. About this star Elsbeth Ebertin writes:

The last star in the Great Bear. Benetnash (Alkaid) . In an important position in a mundane map, Benetnash will claim human lives in calamities such as mine accidents, collapse of houses and bridges, mountain slides, earth tremors and catastrophes caused by weather. [Fixed Stars and Their Interpretation, Elsbeth Ebertin, 1928, no.46, p.57, under the name Benetnash]





Now let us progress this chart to June 2, the date of the news. Two things happen. The eclipse T-square reaches the meridian and the configuration Mars-Admetus-Pluto-Uranus reaches the horizon axis. The TNP Admetus has been linked to “rocks” or “immovable objects”  like the mountain here. Martha-Wescott’s delineation for Admetus-Pluto is as under:

Admetus-Pluto: to see that things reach critical mass – in other words, although one has been able to stand up under increasing pressure, the burden finally becomes too great and there must be some relief/release.


Here the relief came in the form of a mountain slide!
