A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF RECENT FLOODS
GLOBAL WARMING - THE DISPUTE BETWEEN ATHENA AND POSEIDON
Floods Flash floods is a page that contains a comprehensive list of recent floods and links recent flooding caused by our modern Industry to the floods contained in ancient cultures. Are floods, flash floods, and flooding created by Poseidon? Who is Poseidon? Is he the god of sea and the god of floods?. The question is of what kind of sea. Is he a god of the sea of water or of another one? The more we study the ancient texts of mythology, the more it appears that Poseidon is not the god of the sea of water but rather of the sea of evolution. Poseidon has to be understood as an allegory that symbolizes the determinism of the times on which mankind is sailing.
Who is Athena? She is the goddess of sciences, war techniques, wisdom, and crafts. She is a warrior but also a protector. Why did Athena enter into a dispute with Poseidon? Do recent floods, flooding, and flash floods have anything to do with it? The Greek myths tell us the following story: «Poseidon once claimed possession of Attica by thrusting his trident into the acropolis of Athens in order to spring up a magnificent horse. But the magnificent horse kept on metamorphosing into a salted lake. Athena offered an olive-tree to the inhabitants of the country, symbol of peace and wealth. These inhabitants considered that the olive-tree would be more useful than the horse of Poseidon. Therefore, they chose Athena as their protector». This story seems unimportant. However, the fact that the dispute between Poseidon and Athena was carved onto the west pediment of the Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens shows the importance of this story.
When did science enter into conflict with the way mankind is moving? Since the early nineties it appears very clearly that we have a problem as far as Global Warming is concerned. In fact, floods, flooding, and flash floods increase dramatically. Therefore, it is not fictitious to link Global Warming to the dispute between Athena and Poseidon. In fact, the magnificent horse of Poseidon appears to be an allegory that symbolizes the economy based on fossil energy and the metamorphosis of this horse into a salted lake symbolizes the consequences of the economy based on fossil energy. Poseidon is connected to the element of water as far as his dispute with Athena is concerned despite that he has to be understood as an allegory symbolizing the determinism of the times on which mankind is sailing.
As far as the Egyptian mythology is concerned, it is written in the pyramids that Ra refused to give his Ka to Isis. The weather became so hot that everybody complained. Finally, Ra accepted.
It is very obvious that others went through the phenomenon of Global Warming before us. However, some members of the scientific community have other explanations such as: «all these phenomena of floods are insignificant compared to the big climate changes that occurred during the Paleolithic era. We are in a period of climatic stability. These phenomenon of floods are unusual just because mankind has no memory». It looks like some scientists are unable to make the difference between the history of our climate and climate changes caused by the industrial era.
Then, farmers were accused of plowing their field in the wrong direction causing water to flood their villages. Finally, people were found guilty of building their houses in areas liable to flooding.
Some scientists believe that these climate changes are nothing to worry about because Nature has always managed to overcome its climate problems alone. The Greek myths prove that such is not the case. We are not the first civilization that experiences Global Warming. However, we have no material evidence to prove it since other civilizations left no evidence of technology behind them. Some people think that scientists use Global Warming to get government fund.
The following list was compiled from major world networks during the past 20 years. It is not as complete as the one of the United Nations. However, this list will help people to consider the problem of Global Warming in a more global way.
