thus, Medusa certainly had a comet association. Like the Cosmic Crocodile and Rahu, Medusa’s head was also severed from her body. One version of the myth noted that Perseus, the doer of the deed, used a sword from Haephestus in order to accomplish this task. Curiously, Haephestus also created the chariot used by Helios, the sun god, thus it is clear that his creations were associated with the sun. Could this sword have represented a solar flare or coronal mass ejection like the Sudarshan Chakra used by Vishnu to sever Rahu’s head from his body?
To accomplish this deed Perseus also borrowed the winged shoes of Hermes in order to fly across the sky. Once again Hermes is associated with a myth that appears to encode destruction brought by a comet as discussed in Part 2, chapter 10, “Quetzalcoatl & Hermes: Cosmic Messengers.”
Medusa was also associated with a flood and blood rain. According to myth, Perseus flew to Ethiopia where the sea god Poseidon had caused a massive flood and a sea monster, Cetus, had devoured a town. Curiously, in Greek art most cetea (plural of Cetus) are depicted as serpentine fish. In one version of the myth Perseus used Medusa’s head to turn Cetus to stone. A serpent-like monster that was turned to stone and caused a sea flood that devoured a town is a perfect metaphor for an oceanic impact event that caused a mega-tsunami.
Although in this instance the head of Medusa did not cause the flood, her previous rape by Poseidon, which turned her into the hideous monster with snakes in her hair, certainly linked her to the flood event. Medusa’s head also dripped blood on the way to Ethiopia, a possible reference to blood rain or red rain that is similar to the “flood of blood” that resulted from the decapitation of the Cosmic Crocodile. Thus the story of Medusa has many of the same elements as the previous myths that appear to encode a comet fragmentation and impact event.
There is evidence of a mega-tsunami impacting the eastern shores of Africa around this time. Astronomer Dallas Abbott has argued that the chevron-shaped geological formations on the island of Madagascar were formed by an ancient mega-tsunami. [139] Each of these chevron-shaped formations are two-times larger than Manhattan. Each formation is over 600 feet high, taller than the Chrysler Building, suggesting the wave that deposited this debris was at least this tall but likely much taller.
Abbott believes the nearby Burckle Crater in the Indian Ocean was the location for this impact. [140] Abbott noted this crater was between 4000-5000 years old thus it could easily have formed around 3300 BC at the time recorded in the Mayan Flood Myth. This event would not only have impacted the coasts of eastern Africa but also India. This could explain why the legend of Medusa and Ramu are so similar.
These large chevron-shaped tsunami deposits may also explain another aspect of the Mayan Flood Myth. Throughout Mesoamerica, myths related that the body of the Cosmic Crocodile was used to form new Earth after the deluge. In fact, some depictions of this crocodile included chevrons on its back which were said to represent mountains. The fact that these impact-induced mega-tsunamis deposited such large debris fields is likely the origin of these associations between crocodiles and newly created land following a great flood.
Interestingly, depictions of Medusa are also strongly similar to the Aztec god Tlaltecuhtli, who famously appears in the center of the Aztec Calendar Stone. According to Wikipedia:
“In one of the Mexica creation accounts Tlaltecuhtli is described as a sea monster who dwelled in the ocean after the fourth Great Flood, an embodiment of the raging chaos before creation. Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca, in the form of serpents, tore [her] in half, throwing half upwards to create the sky and stars and leaving the other half to become the land of the earth.” [141]
