Ecilpse effect on Vocalno

And I behold when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake; and the Sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the Moon became as blood. – Revelation 6:12
Have you ever noticed that deadly earthquakes tend to happen at the same time as eclipses? Perhaps you have noted these:
6 March 2007 – Two earthquakes struck Sumatra measuring 6.4 and 6.3. Over 60 deaths and 460 injuries. 3 days after the lunar eclipse.
21 February 2008 – 7.4 magnitude earthquake in Indonesia killed 3 people and injured 25. 19 hours before the lunar eclipse.
21 December 2010 - 7.4 magnitude earthquake in Japan, on eclipse day. The following day there was a 6.5 quake in Iran, killing 11 people.
Looking further back in time, the earthquake in Iran on September 16, 1978, the most devastating quake of that year, that killed more that 25,000 people, occurred just 3.5 hours before a total lunar eclipse was visible there.
What about solar eclipses? Well most of them do not have an obvious earthquake connection. But for those that do, the quakes can be horrific. The pair of earthquakes with the most fatalities in the last 6 years were Haiti on January 12, 2010 and Kashmir on October 8, 2005. Both of these devastating quakes occurred within 5 days of a solar eclipse.

I undertook a long and tedious task that seemingly nobody else has done. I checked every lunar and solar eclipse since 1973, and I checked them against every earthquake measuring 6.5 or greater in magnitude. For solar eclipses, there was a slight increase of major earthquakes, but not enough to make it worthy of further investigation. Lunar eclipses were quite different, with the odds of a major earthquake doubling within a few days:
 
M6.5+ … normal is an average of one every 8.4 days

Within four days of a lunar eclipse, averages one every 7.26 days

Within one day of a lunar eclipse, averages one every 5.87 days
M7.5+ … normal is an average of one every 73.8 days

Within twenty days of a lunar eclipse, averages one every 51.6 days

Within four days of a lunar eclipse, averages one every 41.25 days

Within one day of a lunar eclipse, averages one every 33 days
Until someone can explain why this is, there’s a possibility it is linked to a 2012 catastrophe. That’s unlikely, but possible – so if you are in an earthquake-prone region, this is a good week to be prepared for the worst. The next lunar eclipse is June 4, and the one after that is November 28.

What we have witnessed in the last few days certainly fits with this proven scenario. It also tells us similar events are yet to come. This particular cyclic period we are in today brings a greater risk to the degree and expansion of earth changing developments.
The first and main reason is our Earth's weakening magnetic field. This depletion allows a greater portion of charged particles to enter our atmosphere and penetrate down into the Earth's mantle and outer core. This action in-turn causes the core to over-heat. As its defense mechanism, the Earth sets into play methods to cool-down by means of 'convection'. The goal is to maintain an ambient temperature which keeps its core to function, to keep its dipole in balance.
These actions and reactions are very similar to the human body. When we over-heat we 'sweat' to cool-down. Our bodies naturally know to keep itself in balance and maintain an ambient temperature of 98.6 degrees. If we get to cold, our body's metabolism generally slows down and of course we seek warmth in the way of blankets, coats, heaters etc. to maintain our average temperature.
The way the Earth cools off is by means of mantle plumes, volcanoes, seamounts, all of which always involve earthquakes.
As related to a full lunar eclipse and the direct consequences to earth changing events, it mostly has to do with gravity and fluid displacement. Not only does a lunar eclipse affect tides, but it affects all fluids including magma, oil, steam and perhaps certain processes of gas. When this occurs, it can shake things up on small and large scales. The result….earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, floods etc.
As it relates to a full solar eclipse, the earth changing events i.e. earthquakes, volcanoes etc. are the result of sudden temperature shifts. I know it doesn't seem like much when we're outside watching these events, but it's the pebble-in-the-pond phenomenon that takes place. A second but just as important reason is the sudden fluctuation of charged particles which are temporarily thwarted by our moon deflecting cosmic rays during the phases of the eclipse.

After some thought… I think it best to defer the cause and reasons of the Mars, Sun, Earth alignment will have during this unusual co-existence of a full lunar eclipse. I would certainly acknowledge something is up, but what and how might be better explained by astrologers and perhaps to a lesser degree astronomers.

New Scientist:Earthquake and volcano eruption of 1446BC

https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=fA9tecLhj9wC&pg=PA61&lpg=PA61&dq=volcano+eruption+1446BC&source=bl&ots=hYL-XzjvvR&sig=4R7Jpl6v8wpf-tzb_6Fk7Sk8TRE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=WyfDVPLYJsn88QWY3YDICw&ved=0CDEQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=volcano%20eruption%201446BC&f=false

Book research

Akrotiri, the Minoan “Pompeii” - buried by the eruption of Thera (twice the size of Krakatoa!)

I’m quite excited about bringing this to you, since I hadn’t heard of it before. I hope you haven’t either so that we can all learn something new together! 

Akrotiri is the Greek version of Pompeii, which we all know was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79. I believe Akrotiri to be more exciting than its Roman cousin, perhaps not in size or fame but definitely for the age of the town, the beauty of some of the finds and the violence of the volcanic eruption! I will obviously provide details of all this to you later. 



The site was uncovered during construction of the Suez Canal in 1860. Accidently, as so many archaeological finds are! The ash from the island of Santorini was being quarried and purely by chance the workers stumbled across this amazing place.

Due to this Akrotiri is sometimes referred to as the “Minoan Pompeii”. 


Some speculate that Akrotiri could be the lost city of Atlantis. However, it's widely accepted that Akrotiri was part of the Minoan civilization of Crete centred at Knossos. Akrotiri also had trade connections with the Greek mainland, Cyprus, Syria, Egypt, and the other islands in the area known as the Dodecanese


From the many Frescoes depicting busy harbour scenes at Akrotiri, the size and complexity of the buildings and the finds revealed, it can be safely said that this port was an extremely busy and prosperous one. 

There was a settlement on the site from at least 3,000BC, although evidence of occupation dating as far back as the late Neolithic (4,000BC) has been recovered from the site, the town itself wasn’t buried until 1450 BC, which makes the site a lot older than Pompeii (as you recall one of the reasons I rate Akrotiri so much!) 


THE MINOANS, a brief introduction 


It wouldn’t be fair to just launch into the good stuff without a little background to these amazing people, but I’ll keep it brief (nobody reads this part anyway!). 

THE MINOANS, the palace civilisation of the Aegean 


The story of European civilization really begins on the island of Crete with a civilization that probably thought of itself as Asian (in fact, Crete is closer to Asia than it is to Europe). Around 1700 BC, a highly sophisticated culture grew up around palace centres on Crete: the Minoans. What they thought, what stories they told, how they narrated their history, are all lost to us. All we have left are their palaces, their incredibly developed visual culture, and their records. Mountains of records. For the Minoans produced a singular civilization in antiquity: one oriented around trade and bureaucracy with little or no evidence of a military state. They built perhaps the single most efficient bureaucracy in antiquity. This unique culture, of course, lasted only a few centuries, and European civilization shifts to Europe itself with the foundation of the military city-states on the mainland of Greece.
Richard Hooker 

You must admit that they sound like a civilised, enlightened and advanced society.

Using Google Earth let me show you where in the Mediterranean this island is located. 



A map of Ancient Greece and the Island of Thera with respect to other Greek Islands can be found HERE


Santorini is a small, circular archipelago of volcanic islands located in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km (120 mi) southeast from Greece's mainland. The largest island is known as Thēra (or Thira, Greek forming the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands

EARTHQUAKES, EVACUATION & ERUPTION of THERA 

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread547617/pg1
Archaeologists suspected that the town had been evacuated well before the volcanic eruption buried it. Why? Firstly, unlike Pompeii there was distinct a lack of human remains, secondly archaeologists found numerous examples of damaged buildings determined to be unrelated to the “final” eruption. 

STEPS SHOWING EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE



Copious evidence for the purposeful demolition by wrecking crews of buildings partially destroyed in the earthquake has been found in the form of piles of rubble and earth debris heaped up in the principal roads leading through the settlement and retained behind roughly built dry-stone walls of rubble.


Theories on the time between the last earthquake and eventual evacuation vary, from a mere three months to three decades. What is known for definite is the town was built in a very unstable area, by the time it was buried under ash and lava, the locals had taken the hint and moved on. 


The process of rebuilding and restoration begun shortly after the earthquake was nevertheless still in progress when the volcano erupted, as the partially plastered and painted condition of the second-storey bedroom in the West House indicates. Two vessels full of dried plaster and a third containing dried paint show that this room was actually in the process of being decorated when the site was hastily abandoned, this time for good.


STONE FLOOR SHOWING EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE


The site at Akrotiri has yielded just a single item of precious metal, indeed there is an obvious lack of materially valuable goods which further points to an extensive evacuation effort on behalf of the Minoans inhabiting the town.
