Chapter 2.

Traces of the disaster.

If a global catastrophe has occurred on our planet relatively recently, affecting all continents, which I described in detail in the first chapter, accompanied by a powerful inertial wave, as well as massive volcanic eruptions that evaporated a huge amount of water from the world's oceans, which resulted in prolonged torrential rains, then we should observe many traces that this disaster should have left. Moreover, traces are quite characteristic, associated with the flow of huge masses of water in those territories where such an amount of water, and therefore such traces, should not be under normal conditions.

Since North and South America were most affected during the disaster, it is there that we will begin to search for traces. In fact, many of the readers most likely saw many times the objects that will be shown in the photographs below, but the distorted matrix of perception of reality, formed by official propaganda, made it difficult to understand what we actually see.

The inertial wave arising from the impact during the collision and the displacement of the earth's crust relative to the planet's core not only changed the relief of the western coast of both Americas, but also threw huge masses of water into the mountains. At the same time, in some places, part of the water passed through the mountain ranges that existed before the disaster or formed in its process and partially went further to the mainland. But some part, or even all, where the mountains were higher, was stopped and had to drain back into the Pacific Ocean. At the same time, such relief forms, such as closed basins, should have formed in the mountains, from where the flow of water back into the ocean would be impossible. Consequently, high-altitude salt lakes should have formed in these areas, since the water can evaporate over time, but the salt that got into this basin along with the original salt water should remain there.

In those cases, when the flow of water back into the ocean was possible, huge masses of water should not just drain into the ocean, but wash out giant ravines on their way. If, somewhere, flowing lakes were formed, then due to the subsequent downpours, the salt water from them was washed out with fresh rainwater. Separately, I would like to note that when an inertial wave enters the mainland, its movement largely ignores the relief as long as the force of water pressure, which is pushing from behind, allows the wave to overcome the force of gravity and rise upward. Therefore, the trajectory of its movement will generally coincide with the direction of the displacement of the earth's crust. When the water begins to drain back into the ocean, then this will already happen only due to the force of gravity, so the water will drain in accordance with the existing terrain. As a result, we will get the following picture.

This is the well-known "Grand Canyon" in the United States. The length of the canyon is 446 km, the width at the plateau level ranges from 6 to 29 km, at the bottom level - less than a kilometer, the depth is up to 1800 meters. Here is what the official myth tells us about the origin of this formation:

“Initially, the Colorado River flowed across the plain, but as a result of the movement of the earth's crust about 65 million years ago, the Colorado Plateau rose. As a result of the rise of the plateau, the angle of inclination of the current of the Colorado River changed, as a result of which its speed and ability to destroy the rock lying in its path increased. First of all, the river eroded the upper limestones, and then took up deeper and more ancient sandstones and shales. This is how the Grand Canyon was formed. It happened about 5-6 million years ago. The canyon is still deepening due to ongoing erosion."

Now let's see what is wrong with this version.

This is what the terrain in the Grand Canyon area looks like.

Yes, the plateau rose above sea level, but at the same time its surface remained almost horizontal, therefore, the speed of the Colorado River should have changed not along the entire length of the river, but only on the left side of the plateau, where the descent to the ocean begins. Further, if the plateau allegedly rose 65 million years ago, why was the canyon formed only 5-6 million years ago? If this version is correct, then the river should have immediately begun to flush itself a deeper channel and have been doing this for all 65 million years. But at the same time, the picture that we should have seen would have been completely different, since all rivers erode one of the banks more than an arc. Therefore, they have one flat bank, and the other steep, with cliffs.

But in the case of the Colorado River, we see a very different picture. Both its banks are almost equally steep, with sharp edges and edges, in some places with practically sheer walls, which indicates their relatively recent formation, since water-wind erosion has not yet had time to smooth out the sharp edges.

At the same time, interestingly, in the above picture it is clearly visible that the relief, which is now being formed at the bottom of the Colorado River canyon, already has a gentler bank on one side and a steeper bank on the other. That is, for millions of years the river washed the canyon without observing this rule, and then suddenly began to wash its bed like all other rivers?

Now let's look at some more interesting photos of the Grand Canyon.

They clearly show that three levels of erosion of the sedimentary layer are clearly visible in the relief. If you look from above, then at the beginning of each level there is an almost vertical wall, which below turns into a curved surface of crumbling rock, expanding in a cone in all directions, as it should be for talus. But these taluses do not go all the way to the bottom of the canyon. At some point, the gentle slope of the slope again breaks down with a vertical wall, then again there is talus, then again a vertical wall and a gentle slope already towards the river at the very bottom. At the same time, in the upper part, in some places, similar structures are visible, a vertical wall-gentle slope, but noticeably smaller. There are two large levels, in which the width of the "steps" is noticeably wider than the others, which I noted in the fragment below.

That pitiful "trickle", which now flows along the bottom of the canyon, could not form such a structure even for many millions of years. At the same time, it does not matter at all how fast the water will flow in the river. Yes, at a higher flow rate, the river begins to cut through the sedimentary layer faster, but no "wide steps" are formed at the same time. If you look at other mountain rivers, then with a sufficiently fast current they can cut a gorge for themselves, there is no dispute. But the width of this gorge will be comparable to the width of the river. If the rock is strong enough, then the walls of the gorge will be almost vertical. If it is less durable, then at some point the sharp edges will begin to crumble. In this case, the width of the gorge will increase, and a more gentle slope will begin to form at the bottom.

Thus, the width of the gorge is determined mainly by the amount of water in the river or the width of the river itself. More water - the gorge is wider, less water - the gorge is narrower. But there are no "steps". In order for a "step" to form, the amount of water in the river must at some point noticeably decrease, then further it will begin to cut itself through a narrower gorge in the middle of its old bottom.

In other words, for the formation of the picture that we see in the Grand Canyon, a huge amount of water had to flow through this territory first, which washed the wide canyon up to the first "step". Then the amount of water became less and it further washed out a narrower canyon at the bottom of a wide feather. And then the amount of water came to the amount that is observed now. As a result, we have a second "step" and a much narrower canyon at the bottom of the second canyon.

When inertial and shock waves rolled onto the mainland from the Pacific Ocean, a huge amount of sea water ended up on a plateau, in which the Grand Canyon was then formed. If you look at the general relief map, you can see on it that this plateau is surrounded on three sides by mountains, so water could flow from it only back towards the Pacific Ocean. Moreover, the area from which the canyon begins is separated from the rest of the plateau by a higher gray fragment (practically in the center of the image). Water from this area can only flow back through the place where the Grand Canyon is now.

The fact that the upper level of the canyon is very wide is explained, among other things, by the fact that the sea water raised into the mountains formed a layer tens of meters high throughout the plateau. And then all this water began to drain back, eroding sedimentary rocks and forming the first level of the canyon. At the same time, in the above photographs it is clearly visible that the upper layers were completely washed away over a huge area, which is limited by the uppermost edge of the canyon. And all this mass of sedimentary rocks was eventually carried away by the water downstream of the Colorado River and left at the bottom of the Gulf of California, which is relatively shallow at a fairly large distance from the mouth of the river.

Then we have torrential downpours caused by massive volcanic eruptions on the ocean floor after the disaster. At the same time, the amount of water that fell, on the one hand, was noticeably less than water from inertial and shock waves, and on the other, much more than the amount of precipitation that falls under normal conditions. Therefore, at the bottom of the first wide canyon, storm runoffs cut through a narrower canyon, forming the first "step". And when volcanic eruptions subside and the volume of water evaporated into the atmosphere decreases, catastrophic downpours also stop. The water level in the Colorado River comes to its present state and it cuts the third narrowest level at the bottom of the second tier of the canyon, forming the second "step".
