Cosmic rays from a binary star known as Cygnus X-3 helped accelerate human evolutionduring the last Ice Age.
 
The veneration of Cygnus as a bird associated with cosmic life and death goes back17,000 years to when the constellation occupied pole position in the northern night sky.
 
Cygnus is at the root of all the world's religionsThe origins of astronomy, literature, ancient cosmologies, even transoceanic sea voyagesall occurred some 17,000 years agoTraces the very DNA of life from shamanic art in Paleolithic caves to the foundations of theGreat Pyramid, from psychedelic journeys in the Peruvian Amazon to Francis Crick'sdiscovery of the double helixReveals that our ancestors knew what science is now telling us - that life on Earthoriginated among the stars, a fact known and accepted by our ancestors

Cosmic Rays And The Cygnus Mystery
 
Excerpts from
An Interview with Andrew Collins by Brent Raynes
 
Editor
: Let’s talk a little more about your upcoming book The Cygnus Mystery.
Andrew Collins: Right. My current project is The Cygnus Mystery.Cosmic rays from the Cygnus constellation influenced human evolution in early history and affected human behavior and caused germ-like mutations over alonger period of time, probably about 2000 years. Now this might seem a whacky idea but as I was writing thebook I discovered that a scientific think tank, known as the Meinel Institute of Las Vegas announced that theyalso now believe that something similar was going on in paleolithic times.Their candidate is a planetary nebula in the constellation of Draco, which is next door to Cygnus. Very, veryclose. This they worked out through an examination of the levels of Beryllium-10, which is a bi-product of cosmicrays hitting the upper atmosphere and changing oxygen and nitrogen into the secondary element of beryllium.Which falls to the earth and is retained within sea levels and ice cores, and measurements of this can determinethe level of cosmic rays.
There’s no question that towards the end of the paleolithic era the level of cosmic rays hitting the earth had
doubled. So to suggest that this may have been involved in mutations leading in changes to human evolution isnot a mad idea. Plus I found out that as early as 1972, 
Carl Sagan
,the great scientific writer, spoke aboutexactly the same thing, the idea of cosmic rays influencing human evolution, in his book
The Cosmic Connection
.
 
He went back to the subject in 1977 in his book The Dragons of Eden. 
It’s something that I believe influenced the foundations of 
world religions as well. You will find this Cygnus linkwithin Christianity, within Islam, within Hinduism, within Near Eastern religions like Mandaeans of Iraq and Iran,the Sabians, the Chaldeans of the Bible, even certain Shiite Islamic groups strongly r
elated to this. It’s behind the
whole concept that heaven was in the north and that we come from the sky and that we return there in death.Somehow this is all mixed up with this whole idea of cosmic rays influencing human evolution, influencing humanintelligence, but mixed up with the whole idea of  panspermia as well. This connection with the cosmos. Something which is very, very important, and I think that as we go on we will begin to realize that it is more andmore important.
Since the discovery in the 1920s that all types of radiation can cause gene mutations, scientistshave wondered what role high energy cosmic rays might have played in human evolution.However, it was an idea destined never to find favour among geneticists, who could determineno hard evidence that the background flux of cosmic rays might have had any noticeable effecton human cells.All this is about to change, as an examination of ice cores extracted from sites in Antarctica andGreenland provides new information on the level of cosmic rays reaching Earth in past ages.When so-
called ‗
primary
‘
cosmic rays
hit the upper atmosphere they generally break up to
produce a plethora of ‗secondary‘ particles that form isotopes, which fall to Earth and are
preserved each year in layers of ice. One such isotope is beryllium 10, which provides clearevidence that on three occasions over the past 100,000 years
 –
around 60,000 years ago,40,000 years ago and 17,000 years ago - there have been extremely intense periods of cosmicray activity lasting up to 2,000 years at a time.Although the cyclic nature of these spikes of activity perhaps indicate a connection with long-term solar cycles, other factors might have been behind the sudden increase in cosmic raysduring Palaeolithic times, when our earliest ancestors made huge jumps in evolution that ledeventually to the rise of civilization.
Catastrophists 
propose that a close supernova explosion might have sent a barrage of cosmicparticles in our direction, dramatically increasing cloud formation, thus preventing the sun frompenetrating through the atmosphere and leading quickly to an ice age and mass extinctions onthe ground. Thus it is possible that close supernova might account for the high levels ofberyllium found in the ice cores.An altogether different scenario is that the true source of cosmic rays affecting the evolution oflife are black holes or neutron stars, a theory first proposed in 1973 by world-renownedastronomer
Carl Sagan
. Curiously, in the 1980s particle physicists in Europe and the USAunexpectedly detected the presence deep underground of incoming cosmic rays that hadpenetrated the solid rock to great depths, suggesting that they had come from an extremelypowerful cosmic ray accelerator somewhere in deep space.These unique cosmic rays were found to have been produced by a binary star systemcontaining either a black hole or neutron star in the northern constellation of Cygnus, the swan.Known as
Cygnus X-3
, it was classified as recently as 2000 as the galaxy‘s first ‗blazar‘,
meaning that it produces jets of plasma, or ionized gas, that direct cosmic particles towards theEarth at close to the speed of light, something it has been doing for anything up to 700,000years.The recorded bursts of cosmic radiation from deep space on at least three occasions in humanhistory could suggest that Cygnus X-3 is the key to solving the mystery of the cosmic rays.
 
Had the Palaeolithic cave artists and shamans responsible for the cave art at Lascaux,and other similar caves across Western Europe, become aware of incoming cosmicrays, which are unique in being able to penetrate deep underground?Did these cygnets, as Cygnus X-
3‘s strange particles became known, cause
genemutations, leading eventually to the development of a complex mindset, includingsymbolic art and the first organized societies towards the end of the last Ice Age?
 
Cygnus
is the oldest known constellation represented in art, appearing as a bird on a pole inthe famous
cave of Lascaux
in southern France, c.17,000 years ago. What is more, all aroundthe world there was once a great reverence of this constellation, known also as
the Northern Cross 
.From the bird effigy mounds of North America to the Olmec centers of Mexico, the Incan sacredcity of Cuzco, the Egyptian Pyramids of Giza, the Hindu temples of India to Avebury, the largeststone circle in Europe - all reflect an age-old interest in Cygnus, which features also in religioussymbolism and beliefs, at the heart of Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, as well asshamanic practices worldwide.All of this indicates that
Cygnus X-3
, as our galaxy‘s sole blazar, is the best candidate by far for 
at least a percentage of the cosmic radiation that continues to reach Earth and may well havecatalyzed mutations leading in the past to sudden advances in human evolution.Cygnus Mystery

Why exactly
the cult of the swan 
might have existed in megalithic Ireland, and indeed amongseveral other key Neolithic stone monuments in the British Isles, is not clear. Avebury, WaylandSmithy long barrow and Callanish are all aligned towards either the rising or setting of key stars
