The constant references to a cataclysm with plasma 12,000 years ago ties into the solar micronova theory. The theory is that our sun has a 12,000 year cycle where it flares out, blowing off some of its shell. This explains the petroglyphs found all over the world that depict plasma toroids from the perspective on earth of giant plasma toroids in the sky. The earth and sun's magnetic fields are linked, so the theory is that the sun micronovas at the same time the earth's magnetic poles shift. There's evidence of a massive solar event both on the earth and moon. The big reason for our exploration of the moon was to sample the glass there from the last solar event. There are fission tracks burned into the moon from the solar outburst, and elements that can't exist except at relativistic temperatures, far higher than an asteroid impact would generate. They also believe that this occurs along with a sudden shift in the earth's rotation generating mega tsunami's. There's evidence of this in the earth's continental shelf. You can see the erosion by looking at coastlines on google earth! It also explains flash frozen animals, waves, and tropical plants found in the Antarctic. When the sun facing side of the earth is super heated, this would create a massive high pressure zone on half of the earth, and a low pressure zone on the other half, creating intense cold. Read the "Adam and Eve story" for more on that. The CIA classified this book to keep it out of the public's mind. suspicious0bservers.org is a good place to find videos about it.
