The Supernova of 1054 Part II

Follow on X

An interesting reaction to the observed supernova was that of the Cahokians which had constructed a city including mounds in what is now Southern Illinois:

The hub of the New Cahokia built after 1050 was the so-called Grand Plaza—a carefully engineered complex the size of thirty-five football fields. At one end stood an earthen mound that by the mid-1100s stood ten stories high. The city in the mound’s great shadow grew to at least 20,000 people, a population that surpassed the London of the day. The Mississippian culture spawned in (or boosted by) the city, meanwhile, spread from Minnesota to Louisiana. Its people built pyramid-shaped mounds and plazas, grew corn, traded widely, and created a distinctive visual art style.

Carbon dating, a miraculous process but one not totally precise in its conclusions, dates the revolutionary transformation of Cahokia into New Cahokia to about 1050. Historians and archaeologists note that 1054 falls into the “about” nimbus around that date. Did the supernova inspire the Cahokians to rebuild their city, to embrace ideas that sparked a cultural renaissance, to listen to messages from gods old or new about themselves and their destiny?

We cannot know. But it seems at least possible that July 4 was a date of profound significance to another accomplished American people.

The main mound was probably there previous to this rebuilding. Whatever the case, by the year 1400 the village was abandoned. Why it was abandoned is debated, but a lead theory is drought. If so, this would be consistent with the naming of the “crab nebula” as the “crab” is the sign of water which we know better as Cancer in the zodiac. At the very least, the explosion in Taurus would have been seen as a negative omen, and clearly was interpreted as a kind of death since the city was buried and re-interpreted and engineered.

The above article referenced tells us that Cahokia was the largest city to have existed in North America until Philadelphia formed in the 1700’s. This, of course, ties directly into the noted July the 4th date. Philadelphia is literally interpreted as “Brotherly Love” in terms of word meaning. As the supernova of 1054 happened at almost the same moment that a break in the Eastern and Western Churches took place, it is possible that Philadelphia was the intended balm to the wound indicated by the supernova and possibly what caused Cahokia to collapse in that there might have been an absence in the kind of societal bonds which would have brought peace. Cancer also deals with emotions in addition to water. Perhaps a “divine displeasure” was present, which culminated in drought which the Cahokians thought to stave off by burying their city and rebuilding it. If so, it appears it was only a time-buying maneuver.
