As a member of Cosolargy I have learnt that the Sun is not the same now as it was in times past.

This week the movie Time of the Sixth Sun will be re-released and it is indeed timely, to consider what your view of the Sun is.

The video below posted this week by the Thunderbolts Project might make you pause to reconsider your view. They say it has looked different to people in ancient times, which is why it has been depicted differently, yet in a uniform way around the globe, among cultures that were allegedly disconnected.

I have always been drawn to the symbol of Shamash.
The video only takes 10 minutes and is well worth watching.

Ancient Cuneiform Tablets Predict Solar Flares (CMEs)
A research team led by the University of Tsukuba combined observations from ancient cuneiform tablets that mention unusual red skies with radioisotope data to identify solar storms that likely occurred around 679 to 655 BC, prior to any previously datable events. This work may help modern astronomers predict future solar flares or coronal mass ejections that can damage satellite and terrestrial electronic devices.

Humans have been looking to the skies for as long as we have been around. Some of the observations made by ancient Assyrian and Babylonian astrologers more than two millennia ago survive in the form of cuneiform records. These rectangular clay tablets were messages from professional scholars to kings who had commissioned astronomical observations for the purpose of discerning omens–including comets, meteors, and planetary motions.

Now, a team led by the University of Tsukuba has matched three of these ancient tablets that mention an unusual red glow in the sky with the carbon-14 concentrations in tree rings and demonstrate how they are evidence of solar magnetic storms. These observations were made approximately 2,700 years ago in Babylon and the Assyrian city of Nineveh, both of which are mentioned contemporaneously in the Bible.
