If controversial subjects are not your cup of tea, read no further and put this book down right now because what this work has to offer is revolutionary in the extreme.God Star sets out to show that the sky that ancient man remembers was entirely different from the one that now stretches above us.This is demonstrated through ancient texts from all over the world which deal with the astronomical lore of our forebears. As if with a single voice, these texts proclaim that the present planet we know as Saturn once shone as a sun in Earth's primordial sky. This claim receives credence through the fact that astronomers now view the planet Saturn as the remnant of what had once been a brown dwarf star. It also goes a long way in explaining why Saturn was considered the "ruler of the planets in mythology,"* and why the god of that planet is found at the head of every ancient pantheon on earth.Astronomically, it is then deduced that Earth used to be the satellite of this proto-Saturnian sun, which mini-system then invaded the present Solar System, and that this transpired during the age of man.As bizarre as this scenario appears, it is lent credibility by the hard sciences through the unmistakable signs encountered here on Earth and also by what is constantly being discovered out in space. In fact, the likelihood that such an interloping planetary system might have been captured by the Sun is even now acknowledged by a new class of trailblazing astronomers.Thus, apart from the mytho-historical record, the theory presented within the pages of this book includes evidence from geology, palaeontology, astrophysics, and plasma cosmology. It also serves to elucidate various dilemmas that presently encumber these and other disciplines.What might be seen by some as of greater importance, the reconstruction of the primeval events that took place beneath the proto-Saturnian sun, goes a long way in disclosing the origins of religion, including the very concept of deity.While, for the sake of scholarship, the book includes the odd technical tract, it is nevertheless written in a manner that will be readily understood by the intelligent layperson. In fact, it almost reads like a detective novel.* Astronomy (January 2006 Special Issue), p. 60
Dwardu Cardona was born, raised, and educated in Malta, Europe, from where he emigrated to Canada in 1959. Less than a year later, in mid-1960, he became involved in the study of catastrophism and the reconstruction of the Solar System’s cosmic history. He has, since than, acted as a Contributing Editor for KRONOS and, later, as a Senior Editor for the same periodical. He helped in the publication of the journal AEON from 1992 to 1994, and served as its Editor from 1995 to 2006. He was a Founding Father of the Canadian Society for Interdisciplinary Studies (now defunct), and has acted as a consultant on mythology and cosmogony for Chronology and Catastrophism Review, which is the official organ of the British-based Society for Interdisciplinary Studies. He has also acted as the Series Editor for the Osiris Series of books sponsored by Cosmos & Chronos.
As a writer, Cardona has now published well over a hundred articles in various periodicals, most of them on the subjects covered in his present series of books. He has additionally lectured at the University of Bergamo, in Italy, and at various organizations in Canada, the United States, and England. He is the author of three previous volumes, God Star, Flare Star, and Primordial Star, which actually form the prequels to this present work Metamorphic Star. He presently makes his home, together with his wife, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
I need time to digest what I just read. While I would disagree with its back cover that it reads like a detective novel, it much more looks and feels like reading a textbook. But a thesis like this requires that amount of depth, because ideas like these are much more easily dismissed out of hand as opposed to being used to test, verify, and shape our own foundational beliefs that we currently take for granted.
Many times a point would be made where the mythologies of one civilization say a very similar thing as another civilization, and then another, and another, and by the time you want to say “we get it, it must be true”, there’s still four or five more examples to read about, all telling the same stories. And a compelling case is made that they were all telling the story of what they were seeing in the sky, the only common vantage point that all of the ancient people had in common.
I found this to be a much more compelling introduction to the idea of an “electric universe” in that it focused on plasmas and how it’s accepted that 99% of the universe is plasma and approached the physics of it from that direction. It’s also refreshing to read an author being open about other experts’ views and their objections to what he’s proposing instead of just ignoring them or waving them away like they don’t matter. Everything is tackled head on, and when he doesn’t know, he says he doesn’t know and won’t make a guess as to why, leaving you with only the facts and means to decide for yourself.
Amazing story, or perhaps reality! I heard of the Saturn configuration from Walter Thornhill and Dave Talbott from Thundebolts Project YouTube videos. I looked for further information on the subject and came to saturndeathcult.com. I read Troy McLachlan's THE PUPRLE DAWN OF CREATION and part of COSMOS IN COLLISION and wanted more. GOD STAR is the most developed book I've read on this mysterious Saturn configuration that was alluded to if not witnessed by our ancient ancestors. The jury is still out for me, but I can't get enough on this subject. It potentially explains so much of what is. It is the first book in a series that I believe is up to five volumes at the time of this review. I know the outline of what is coming from other sources, but look forward to Cardona's detailing it in the next volumes. GOD STAR was a great start. I now have a clearer understanding of the situation. If Saturn truly was our original "sun" the implications for everything about humanity are enormous.
