“The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water—the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.” -Revelation 8:10–11
A Cosmic Disaster
Around 12,900 years ago, Earth was struck by sudden catastrophe. Temperatures plummeted, ice surged, seas rose, and entire species vanished.
Science calls it the Younger Dryas Event.
The ancients remembered it as the Great Flood — a deluge retold in the stories of Noah, Utnapishtim, Deucalion, and Manu.
NAM calls it The Last Reset.
Then, almost overnight, their world ended.
An extinction-level event erased their culture and the great beasts they hunted.
NAM teaches: the Clovis were one of many civilizations swept away by the Reset, remembered not by name, but by myth.
The philosopher Plato recorded that Atlantis fell 9,000 years before Solon — a date that points to 9,600 BCE (-11,600 years ago) the very end of the Younger Dryas.
Coincidence? NAM sees it as confirmation. The “Lost World” remembered as Atlantis was destroyed in the same flood cycle echoed by cultures across the Earth.
Two echoes of the same upheaval: Atlantis in legend, Göbekli Tepe in reality.
In the hills of modern-day Turkey stands Göbekli Tepe, the world’s oldest known temple complex.
Built around 11,600 BCE, at the very end of the Younger Dryas.
Vast stone pillars carved with animals and celestial symbols.
Göbekli Tepe tells us civilization did not begin in ignorance — it was a rebirth after catastrophe. Survivors of a lost world carried knowledge forward and raised the first temples to honor the cosmos.
**Interestingly, Göbekli Tepe lies in modern-day Turkey — the same region where the Bible says Noah’s Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. Around this same period, the Natufian culture emerged nearby in the Levant, marking humanity’s first steps toward farming and settlement after the Ice Age.
Great Sphinx, Giza (~10,500 BCE)
Weathering patterns suggest ancient rain erosion, pointing to a possible origin long before dynastic Egypt. At that era, the Sphinx aligned with the rising constellation Leo during the spring equinox. NAM teaches that this alignment marks it as a celestial timekeeper — a witness to the Last Reset and the rhythm of cosmic cycles.
