“their eyes were blinded by it and their breath choked.”<br />

Griffith (The Antiquities Of Tel-el-Yahudiyeh And Misc. Work in Lower Egypt In 1887-88) tells of a<br />

black granite shrine found along the border of Egypt and Palestine which says: “The land was in great<br />

affliction. Evil fell on this Earth.... There was a great upheaval in the residence.... Nobody could leave the<br />

palace during nine days, and during these nine days of upheaval there was such a tempest that neither men<br />

nor gods [the royal family] could see the faces of those beside them.”<br />

Exodus <strong>10</strong>:22: “And there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. They saw not one<br />

another, neither rose any from his place for three days.” The difference in the amount of days of darkness<br />

in the various accounts was caused by the fact that there was no way to keep track of the passage of time.<br />

The shrine text above continues and tells of the pharaoh pursuing the “evil-doers” to “Pi-Kiroti” (compare<br />

Exodus 14:9) and tells of the pharaoh pursuing the “evil-doers” into a whirlpool in the sea. “Now when<br />

the Majesty fought with the evil-doers in this pool, the place of the whirlpool, the evil-doers prevailed not<br />

over his Majesty. His Majesty leapt into the place of the whirlpool.”<br />

Tribes in Sudan tell of a time when the night would not come to an end.<br />

The Finnish Kalevala tells of the time when hailstones of iron fell from the sky and the Sun and Moon were<br />

stolen from the sky. After a period of darkness, a new Sun and Moon appeared at different locations from<br />

the old ones.<br />

Indians in the New World told of when the Sun did not appear for five days.<br />

The eleventh tablet of the Epic of Gilgamesh from Babylonia tells: “Desolation...stretched to heaven; all<br />

that was bright was turned into darkness.... Nor could a brother distinguish his brother.... Six days...the<br />

hurricane, deluge, and tempest continued sweeping the land...and all human back to its clay was returned.”<br />

The Iranian book Anugita tells of when a three day period of darkness concluded a world age. The<br />

Bundahis tell of a period of darkness caused by a war between the planets and stars. Also writings in<br />

India and China tell of this period.<br />

EARTHQUAKES<br />

As the Earth interacted with the comet, major earthquakes hit. Ipuwer went through these quakes then<br />

described them: “The towns are destroyed. Upper Egypt has become waste.... All is ruin.” “The residence<br />

is overturned in a minute.”<br />

Exodus 12:27: “(The angel of the Lord) passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he<br />

smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses.” The Passover Haggadah says: “The firstborn of the<br />

Egyptians didst Thou crush at midnight.” Other evidence says that there were huge earthquakes at this<br />

time.<br />

Diego de Landa, Yucatan, Before And After The Conquest, tells about the Earthquakes and said that the<br />
