Ancient Reports: Warming Oceans, Boiling Seas, Dry Waterways

What burns the land, boils the seas.


Heat from Above and Below

The Binary Solar System, its planets and asteroids, may affect our sun, increase space weather events and radiation hitting the earth. These also trigger heat from below as magma and lava come to the surface, volcanic activity increases, and friction from increased tectonic plate movements and slowing rotation that heats and melts the crust.  These activities may warm the waters from below. 

Earthquakes, landslides, and crustal displacement may cause tsunamis and rerouting of water. 

Forces from above and below may cause the rate of evaporation to increase. Some bodies of water may run dry.  Storms may increase in number and intensity and in areas where they do not normally happen. Climate change, seasonal disturbances and blended seasons occur.

Oceans on Fire:

Fires on the ocean surface can be caused by a variety of factors, including lightning strikes, volcanic eruptions, release of flammable gases,  and oil spills. Offshore oil platforms and underwater pipelines are also potential sources of ocean fires. These structures can release flammable gases and liquids, which can ignite if they come into contact with an ignition source.

Ancient Stories:

The ancients referred to these events as boiling seas.  This may have been literal as heat came from volcanic and tectonic activity from below, and the upper layers of water warmed by the sun and radiation.  The oceans and waterways may have literally burned from the release of combustible gases. 

Ancient words for boiling and steam may have referred to the evaporation process as they saw familiar beloved and life-giving rivers and waterways boil or evaporate away.  

As pressures and heat varied, and partial vacuums were temporarily created, so did the boiling point of water vary and how quickly evaporation took place. 

Worlds in Collision

"TWO CELESTIAL BODIES were driven near to each other. The interior of the terrestrial globe pushed toward the exterior, The earth, disturbed in its rotation, developed heat. The land surface became hot. Various sources of many peoples describe the melting of the earth's surface and the boiling of the sea." 

"As this comet activated all the volcanoes and created new ones, the cumulative action of the eruptions and of the comet's dust must have saturated the atmosphere with floating particles. Volcanoes vomit water vapor as well as cinders. The heating effect of the contact of the globe with the comet must have caused a great evaporation from the surface of the seas and rivers." (Dio Cassius, Roman History, xlv)

 Latin poet Ovid

"The earth bursts into flame, the highest parts first, and splits into deep cracks, and its moisture is all dried up. The meadows are burned to white ashes; the trees are consumed, green leaves and all, and the ripe grain furnishes fuel for its own destruction. . . . Great cities perish with their walls, and the vast conflagration reduces whole nations to ashes." "The woods are ablaze with the mountains. . . . Aetna is blazing ...

"Then also Libya became a desert, for the heat dried up her moisture. . . . The Don's waters steam; Babylonian Euphrates burns; the Ganges, Phasis, Danube, Alpheus boil; Spercheos' banks are aflame. The golden sands of Tagus melt in the intense heat, and the swans . . . are scorched. . The Nile fled in terror to the ends of the earth . . . the seven mouths lie empty, filled with dust; seven broad channels, all without a stream. The same mischance dries up the Thracian rivers, Hebrus and Strymon; also the rivers of the west, the Rhine, Rhone, Po and the Tiber. . . . Great cracks yawn everywhere. . . . Even the sea shrinks up, and what was but now a great watery expanse is a dry plain of sand. The mountains, which the deep sea had covered before, spring forth, and increase the numbers of the scattered Cyclades."  , Ovid, Metamorphoses (transl. F. J. Miller), Book I

The Ojibwe People: Long-Tailed-Heavenly-Climbing-Star

"The People who had not covered themselves with mud ran for shelter in terror, but it was too late. The star flew down to Earth and blanketed the world with its long, flowing, glowing tail. Tall trees burst into flame like giant torches, lake and rivers began to boil, and even the rocks glowed and shattered from the heat, as terrible fire swallowed up the entire world."


Ancient Warnings:

Kolbrin Bible

MAN:3:4 

"When blood drops upon the Earth, the Destroyer will appear, and mountains will open up and belch forth fire and ashes. Trees will be destroyed and all living things engulfed. Waters will be swallowed up by the land, and seas will boil."

Bible

 Revelation 16: 9

“And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.”


Relevant Current Events:

NASA:  Is the ocean continuing to warm?
"Yes, the ocean is continuing to warm. Notably, all ocean basins have been experiencing significant warming since 1998, with more heat being transferred deeper into the ocean since 1990."

NOAA: Climate Change: Ocean Heat Content
"As a result, upper ocean heat content has increased significantly over the past few decades. Upper layers are accumulating heat faster than deeper layers, but averaged over the full depth of the ocean, the 1993–2022 heat-gain rates are approximately 0.64 to 0.83 Watts per square meter averaged over the surface of the Earth."

NOAA Fisheries:  Climate Change and Marine Animals: A Conservation Challenge
"Climate-driven changes such as higher ocean temperatures and extreme weather events are affecting the health of marine animals—and their ability to survive.

Climate-driven changes such as higher ocean temperatures, and more frequent and extreme weather events like marine heatwaves and hurricanes, can directly affect the health and condition of these animals. They can also impact the availability of the habitat and prey they rely on to survive and reproduce. "

Thermal properties of methane gas hydrates

"The methane stored in gas hydrates is of interest and concern to policy makers as a potential alternative energy resource and as a potent greenhouse gas that could be released from sediments to the atmosphere and ocean during global warming. In continental margin settings, methane release from gas hydrates also is a potential geohazard and could cause submarine landslides that endanger offshore infrastructure.
Gas hydrate stability is sensitive to temperature changes."


NOAA: Methane in the Ocean
"Global Warming
Although little methane from today’s ocean makes it to the atmosphere, there have been times in the geologic past when it appears that large releases of methane have overwhelmed the capacity of microbial methane consumers, causing a large emission of methane from the ocean to the atmosphere. Methane hydrates on and within the seafloor  are a natural, climate sensitive, methane pool, and may have been the culprit in some past periods of increased methane release and resultant global warming.

Methane hydrate is formed when water molecules form an ice cage around a methane molecule (figure 5). In areas with the right balance of pressure (high), temperature (low), and methane concentration (high), methane occurs in this form, and may be stored over very long periods of time. However, if temperature or pressure conditions change, the hydrate may destabilize and release methane to the surrounding environment. For this reason, it is important to understand the marine methane cycle, so we can make predictions about how it may change as our climate begins to warm."


Methane hydrate burns when lit.  Is it possible this contributed to the idea of burning and boiling seas the Ancients talked about?
