According to independent journalist Greg Reese, some of humanity's oldest monuments, myths and calendars may contain warnings about recurring global catastrophes and the cyclical rise and fall of civilizations.

In his latest presentation, Ancient Warnings to Survive the Great Reset, Reese examines a collection of historical, astronomical and esoteric traditions that appear to point toward a repeating cycle of destruction and renewal spanning thousands of years.
The investigation links medieval cathedrals, ancient Egypt, Mayan calendars, Biblical accounts and Hindu cosmology into a single narrative suggesting that ancient civilizations may have preserved knowledge of periodic world-changing events.
The Mystery of Notre Dame and the Cross of Hendaye
Reese begins in northern France, where the great Gothic cathedrals dedicated to Notre Dame were constructed within a remarkably short period.
He notes that when these cathedrals are plotted geographically, they appear to mirror the constellation Virgo.
According to Reese, this alignment points toward an unusual monument known as the Cross of Hendaye in southwestern France.
The monument was famously studied by the mysterious alchemical author Fulcanelli in his book The Mystery of the Cathedrals.
Fulcanelli described the monument as:
"A humble stone cross, as simple as it is strange."
According to his interpretation, the cross contains encoded warnings intended for initiates of ancient mystery traditions.
One symbol, the letter S, was interpreted as representing:
"The helicoidal track of the sun, having arrived at the zenith of its curve across space, at the time of the cyclic catastrophe."
Fulcanelli's translation of the Latin inscriptions suggested the existence of a place of refuge during a future cataclysm.
"We learn that a country exists, where death cannot reach man at the terrible time of the double cataclysm... from which the élite will take part in the return of the golden age."
Another inscription declared:
"By fire, nature is renewed whole."
The Four Ages of Humanity
According to Fulcanelli's interpretation, the four sides of the monument represent the four ages of the Hindu Yuga cycle.
These ages progress from a Golden Age through successive periods of decline until reaching the present era, known as the Kali Yuga.
Fulcanelli identified the current period as humanity's Iron Age.
"The age of iron has no other seal than that of Death."
Reese notes that Fulcanelli believed the monument pointed toward a specific position within a larger astronomical cycle associated with major planetary upheavals.
Egypt and the Catastrophe Clock
The presentation then shifts to the Giza Plateau in Egypt.
Reese revisits the Orion Correlation Theory, which proposes that the three pyramids of Giza mirror the three stars of Orion's Belt.
According to the theory, if the sky were viewed from approximately 10,500 BC, Orion's Belt would align perfectly with the pyramids while the constellation Leo would rise directly behind the Sphinx.
Reese argues that this period coincides with evidence of major climatic and geological disruptions that occurred roughly 12,500 years ago.
In his view, the Cross of Hendaye and the monuments of Egypt appear to reference the same point in a repeating cycle.
Repeating Ages in Ancient Traditions
The concept of recurring world ages appears throughout numerous ancient traditions.
Reese points to the Mayan Popol Vuh, which describes multiple creations and destructions of humanity.
He also highlights parallels with Hopi traditions that describe previous worlds destroyed before the emergence of the present age.
In both systems, civilizations repeatedly rise and fall as humanity passes through successive cycles of creation and destruction.
According to Reese, these stories may represent preserved memories of actual historical cataclysms.
The Mayan Calendar Revisited
One of the central claims of the presentation challenges the popular belief that the Mayan Long Count calendar ended in 2012.
Reese argues that many researchers misunderstood the system because they calculated using modern calendar assumptions.
The Mayan Long Count begins on August 11, 3114 BC and spans 1,872,000 days.
Drawing on the work of researcher Jason Breshears, Reese notes that the calendar is built upon a 360-day year known as a Tun.
This raises an important question.
Why did ancient civilizations use 360-day years when modern calendars use approximately 365.25 days?
The Mystery of the Missing Five Days
Reese references the work of Immanuel Velikovsky, author of Worlds in Collision.
Velikovsky documented numerous cultures that preserved accounts of a time when five additional days were added to the calendar.
According to Reese, civilizations separated by geography and culture independently recorded a similar event.
Multiple ancient societies described a period of upheaval after which the length of the year changed.
He notes that Biblical passages may reference the same phenomenon.
Isaiah 38:8 and 2 Kings 20:9-11 describe an event in which the movement of the sun appeared to change.
Researchers have linked these accounts to the period of King Hezekiah's reign, approximately 701 to 713 BC.
According to Reese and Breshears, this period corresponds with historical evidence suggesting widespread calendar reforms.
A New End Date?
Using Breshears' calculations, Reese proposes that the Mayan Long Count may not have ended in 2012 at all.
Instead, the transition from 360-day years to modern solar years may have shifted the timeline significantly.
Applying this recalculation moves the calendar's endpoint forward several decades.
The resulting date is approximately 2046.
According to Reese, this year coincides with another significant astronomical alignment.
He notes that Orion's Belt will reach its highest point in the sky while the Sphinx, which once faced Leo during the last great cataclysm, will be oriented toward Aquarius.
A Warning Preserved Through Time
Throughout the presentation, Reese argues that a surprising number of ancient traditions, monuments and sacred texts appear to converge on a common theme.
Civilizations repeatedly preserved accounts of great catastrophes that periodically reset human history.
Whether expressed through the Yuga cycles of India, the Popol Vuh of the Maya, the traditions of the Hopi, the monuments of Egypt or the symbolism of the Cross of Hendaye, Reese believes the message remains remarkably consistent.
Ancient cultures appear to have believed that history moves in cycles, not straight lines.
And according to the interpretations explored in Reese's investigation, humanity may once again be approaching one of those turning points.
As Reese suggests, the warnings may have been preserved not simply to predict catastrophe, but to help future generations survive it.
