Hekla Eruption May Have Caused Aryan Migration

Hekla eruption may have been the reason why the so-called Sea Peoples left their homes in the Eastern Mediterranean and moved East pushing Hittites and Armenians on their way even farther East.

Hekla Eruption May Have Caused Aryan Migration The largest known Hekla eruption occurred 3:30 in the morning April 5th 1766 and continued until May of 1768. Red-hot lava flowed out from the fissure in all directions although mostly to the southwest. Livestock and wildlife died out. Flooding was associated with this eruption when ice and snow melted from Hekla's slopes.

The Hekla eruption of 1845 lasted over seven months. In the first four hours tephra was ejected at about 20,000 cu. meters per second, fine ash was found as far as the Shetland Islands and Scotland. Ash and pumice fell over farm and grazing lands causing livestock and wildlife to die. The lava flow associated with this eruption flowed mainly west-north-west. On January 17th 1991 Hekla erupted with a cloud of ash and tephra that reached an altitude of 39,360 ft. During this eruption a main crater was created and from it lava flows ran down the southeastern and northwestern slopes. Lava fountains reached a height of 984 ft. (300m). This eruption continued until March 11th 1991.

Years of 1628 - 1159. Aryans on the Move

Year 1628 OE, the year of Thira (Santorini [Thera] volcano)in the Aegean eruption, and a possible cosmic catastrophe (comet passing by/bolide landing) and an eruption of an Islandic volcano Hekla 3 in the very same year 1159 OE.

1628 OE: The eruption of the volcano Thera is accepted as the cause of the so-called Mosaic plagues, famines, etc in Egypt at the times of Exodus. Even the pillar of fire to the north, with Santorini Island being among the remains. The Ipuwer manuscript documents the catastrophic effects of Thera's eruption on Egypt where falling ash clogged rivers and covered fileds, poisoning animals and people alike. Jews move out of Egypt. Aryans move to India to finish up Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa. Hittites move down South to invade and finish up Babylon.

1159 OE: Even as far away as China in documents of Chou, the last king of the Shang Dynasty, the effects of Hekla 3 were noted: dust and ash rains, a foot of snow in July, all five cereals killed by frost. M. G. L. Baillie finds that the Irish tree-rings growth goes to practically nothing in 1159 OE, no doubt a direct result of the Hekla eruption.
