Yeah, the wheel of time.

Exactly.

If you look at the model of the so-called great year, and there's a book you might add to your reading list called Hamlet's Mill.

It came out in 1969, and the two scholars, highly esteemed scholars who wrote that book, believed that the...

Ancient prehistory cultures and prehistory had a much, much more sophisticated knowledge of cyclical time than they've been given credit for.

And they have a model.

They refer to it as the great year.

And the great year is the, you know, you go from the diurnal cycle, the cycle of the earth turning on its axis, the annual cycle of the earth moving around the sun.

Well, the great year was considered to be like the third cycle.

the third motion of the Earth, and it was based ultimately upon this motion.

If I take this thing here and I represent this as the axis of the Earth, the Earth's axis now is pointed in the heavens towards Polaris.

That's our North Star.

13,000 years ago, at the onset of the Younger Dryas, it was over here, 47 degrees over, because it had gone around this

whole circle and was pointing at the star Vega.

That was the North Star.

So this whole cycle takes 26,000 years.

And according to the authors of Hamlet's Mill, it was this cycle that the ancient peoples in various cultures believed somehow was associated with the tempo of these catastrophes that caused the rise and fall of civilization.

So I noticed that Donini's date of 25,000 years ago is almost the processional cycle, which is now dated at somewhat less than 26,000 years.

And in fact, when you go into some of the ancient sacred numbers, there's a whole list.

we can say, a canon of ancient numerology that we find in various places around the world.
