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. June 2 http://www.seeker.com/gigantic-rock-slide-4800-years-ago-created-a-national-park-1835856199.html
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!
