CANADIAN John Gagnon last year sent me the first draft of a book he was writing which added to the growing evidence that the Earth was bombarded by debris from a supernova explosion in about 10,400BC.

Immediately, I put him in touch with Edmund Marriage, of the Dorset-based Golden Age Project which is in the forefront of collating evidence for the cataclysm believed to have destroyed an advanced civilisation – the few survivors of which are recalled as gods in myths worldwide.

John's book, The Message from the Ancients, which aims to prove that the Great Pyramid of Giza encodes the outcome of the catastrophe, is now available, and he acknowledges the help of the Golden Age Project in its completion. John's remarkable work offers a major challenge to established scientific theories.

"Multiple large meteors impacted the Earth on its northern polar ice cap with such unimaginable force as to cause a geo-repositioning of the continents," said John, of Clayton, Ontario, who believes the Pyramid records how the impact shifted the Earth on its axis.

"This date of 10,400BC is generally linked to the timeframe of rapid and dramatic climate change which abruptly ended the so-called ice ages," he said. "As well as climate change, massive extinction took place. All recent information indicates to the scientific community that a major impact event occurred."

John says he is "one small guy in a small town" who has balanced his life as a single dad with studying how climate change today could affect his children. He wants to remove complacency that the last major Earth impact caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

"We must now consider this is a much more common occurrence then we have been made aware of," he added. "Should more time not be spent to investigate the massive implications and to develop strategies to protect ourselves? Mankind is no match for Mother Nature. We must err on the safe side."
