Paul LaViolette, Ph.D and author of the book "Earth Under Fire" demonstrates that the myths passed down through the ages are not just simple stories or legends, but perhaps windows into the fate of our planet. What was the cause of the sudden demise of the ice age mammals? Are the twelve zodiacal constellations actually a sophisticated astronomical system? Do cosmic rays from the core of our Galaxy periodically trigger major shifts in the Earth's climate? This film tackles the idea that there may be disasters from space that have shaped our past and will affect our future.
