Start your free trial TODAY so you can watch "Super Comet" about the implications of what a real strike would look like today: magellantv.com/series/the-super-comet-4k In this history documentary we explore the incredible case of a meteorite which landed between Roman and Pontic armies in the Third Mithridatic War. We begin with a broader discussion of what people of the past thought of meteors and comets. This varied from place to place but in the near east had a tradition of generating star prophecies which foretold the fall of great Empires and the coming of messiahs. We discuss how these prophecies would seemingly be fulfilled by King Mithridates of Pontus. A brief overview is provided for the Mithridatic Wars which featured many cases of gods taking sides in battle. This all eventually leads us to the fateful day when a meteorite suddenly landed in the midst of two armies. We quote the sources directly and go on to discuss the fallout of the event.
