Our Cosmic Ancestors
simplify it to 5,175 years; and if we use it, we obtain results that, except for the Mulberg and Wurm glaciations, are very close to the dates given by certain geologists that 1 do not want to name here.
    Of these two, the Mulberg glaciation shows only one glacial period, while the Wurm has three. That seems difficult to explain unless the great glaciation cycle of 630,000 years is accepted with alternate very warm and very cold periods every 315,000 years. That would have precluded the first ice age of the Mulberg from occurring 350,000 years ago and would have caused the third ice age of the Wurm that ended only 20,000 years ago and caused the Great Deluge by sudden melting of the ice sheet.
    We can calculate then, under these conditions, that the peak ice ages occurred in the following approximate numbers of years ago: Gunz - 599,600 and 558,200; Mindel - 475,400 and 434,000; Mulberg - 309,800; Riss - 227,000 and 185,600; Wurm -102,800, 61,400, and 20,000. If this chronology is correct and nothing changes in our solar system, we do not have to worry much at present about the two next ice ages. These should come 21,400 and 62,800 years from now, allowing us plenty of time to prepare and to emigrate to tropical zones, if it becomes necessary.
    The constant of Nineveh has many more surprises to offer and I cannot cease to marvel about it. One example is the case of the planet Pluto. Its orbit has an inclination of 17 degrees from the ecliptic where the orbits of other planets are. It was discovered in January 1930 by the astronomer Clyde Tombaugh only because it crossed the ecliptic at that time - an event that will occur again only in the year 2048 when this planet will return to the southern hemisphere. We might add that Pluto is visible only with the most powerful telescopes and its planetary movements can be detected only by successive photographs, all proof that our ancestors could not have known about the existence of this planet. Yet it seems that they did know.
    The sidereal year of Pluto has been estimated by American astronomers to be 90,465 solar days. But sometimes, as in the case of the comet Kohoutek, in 1975, astronomers too make some mistakes. Since its discovery, Pluto has made only about one fifth of its voyage around the Sun, so a slight mistake in observations is possible. A negligible error in the calculated long year of Pluto would be perfectly excusable. So let's suppose that the true year of Pluto is, in reality, 90,720 solar days. Now the constant of Nineveh represents exactly 25,000 revolutions of Pluto and this can be no more of a coincidence than the fact that it also represents exactly 240 cycles of precession of the equinoxes. Without a doubt, our ancestors knew about the existence of Pluto and used its sidereal year together with the Great Year as the base of the great constant of the solar system, the constant of Nineveh.
    We will have to wait until 2178, when Pluto will conclude its first revolution around the Sun since this planet was discovered, to know the precise length of its sidereal year. If it is 90,720 days and not 90,465 as preliminary observations indicate, we will have more proof concerning the Nineveh constant. Strangely enough, the number 90,720 days can be found in the Sumerian mathematical series of the constant.
    What we still do not know is who the astronauts were who brought knowledge about Pluto to our ancestors. But whoever they were, these astronauts also instructed our forefathers about the existence of Proserpine, a planet much larger than our Earth at a distance of almost ten billion kilometres from the Sun, with a revolution period of 512 terrestrial years.
    Nobody on Earth can say for sure that he has seen Proserpine and I doubt very much that it ever will be visible from a terrestrial vantage point. Yet our ancestors had knowledge of its existence. Some people might be surprised about my assurance that our ancestors knew the planets Uranus and Neptune as well as the
