Cochrane – Snapshots of Creation

Snapshots of Creation: On Planets and Pictographs

A radical reexamination of ancient art and myth argues that humanity once witnessed a violently different sky—where planets behaved like gods, the sun thundered, and Creation was remembered as celestial catastrophe.

Snapshots of Creation challenges the conventional story of an un-changing solar system by arguing that ancient humanity recorded—and remembered—a sky radically different from our own. 

Drawing on a global archive of prehistoric rock art, early pictographs, cylinder seals, and sacred texts from Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Americas, this book contends that anomalous images of suns, stars, crescents, flowers, and planetary gods are not symbolic fantasies but faithful eyewitness testimony. 

When analyzed comparatively, these recurring forms point to a dramatic era of planetary instability in which Venus, Mars, and a lost primordial ‘sun’ appeared in extraordinary configurations, accompanied by thunderous, luminous, and electrically charged phenomena remembered as Creation itself. 

Bold, iconoclastic, and meticulously documented, Snapshots of Creation invites readers to trust their eyes, reconsider ancient evidence, and rethink the recent history of the heavens.
