The events
of July 16th to 22nd 1994, when the remnants of a fragmenting comet,
P/ Shoemaker-Levy 9, bombarded the
suface of Jupiter causing fireballs many times the size of our own planet,
were an abrupt ‘wake-up call’ even
for those
who were aware of them. The historical sciences generally, and archæology
in particular, have collectively painted
a picture of the past as if our planet ‘stands
alone’ in empty space. Nothing could be further from reality.
Our
fragile planet exists in a solar system that has experienced a very
dynamic history over the past 20 to 30
millennia, and it is only from this perspective that the true history
of human civilisation will ever be fully
understood. The Morien Institute archive
therefore contains relevant material from many disciplines
