Ofcourse the media distracts by labeling anyone who tries to put the puzzle together; CRAAAZY! "the limit of one's world is one's horizon" ancient egyptian. If Japan were to sink beneath the waves it would be the end of the world for those people who reside on Japan. A global catastrophe doesn't have to result in the complete destruction of mankind, nor the planet earth; if it did then who would be left to tell the story?

By the grace of Jove:

"According to von Dechend and de Santillana, there is no doubt that the Greek Kronos (Saturn) is the same as Chronos (Father Time). In dialogue between Kronos (Chronos) and Jupiter (Zeus), we learn:
"kai panta ta metrates holes demiourgias endidosin"
which translates as, "Saturn gives Jupiter all the measures of creation." With this act of Jupiter overthrowing his father, the sun, moon and planets are set in motion. During each successive conjunction, Saturn gives Jupiter "all the measures of creation!" Furthermore, successive Jupiter/Saturn conjunctions can be used to keep track of even longer periods of time."
