In plain words WD Gann tells us in "The Tunnel Thru the Air" history repeats and that the greatest cycle of repetition is the 1000-year cycle. I've checked. He does not proclaim any other cycle in TTTTA with the wording "the great 1000-year cycle" (page 82). Starting then with the subject of this post, 2016, what happened 1000 years ago? The normal battles, coups, etc. but 2 items catch one's eye; the offensive against the Muslim city Sardina and an earthquake that damages the Dome of the Rock in Old Jerusalem. [I will defer regarding the Muslim conflict but that Muslim conflict was raging 1000 years ago is context for other essays, some of which I've previously offered.]
An earthquake of Biblical significance in 1016. Perhaps 1000 years later in 2016?
The first paragraph of Chapter 1 of TTTTA gives us not only the birth of the hero of TTTTA (Robert Gordon), but his mother's sad reflection on the April 18, 1906 San Francisco earthquake. That event, the 1906 earthquake, continues to be considered by many contemporary writings the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States; 7.8 on the Richter scale, but massive in terms of its immediate impact on San Francisco.
The first paragraph of TTTTA, a clue. And a clue on the last monument to Mr. Gann's life, his gravestone. It measures 30X30X8. 30X8 is 240 and 30X30X8 is 720. Mr. Gann's was 77 when he passed and Sadie Gann was 53 adding to 130. 240 less 130 is 110 and the 1906 earthquake plus 110 years is 2016. A clue? A person's last monument would be a clue? How could he know his and his wires lifespan in 1927 let alone weave it into a riddle and prophecy? If you consider the possibility of his foresight for the purpose of foretelling the events of 2016, then its hard to deny his similar knowledge of his demise in advance.

Again, the plain words of Mr. Gann said in so many ways; history repeats. The only limitation to one's prediction of the future is accurate information of events in the past. From page 77 (which was the number of years in Mr. Gann's life):
A tool in finding repeating events has been developed in three posts found HERE, HERE, and HERE and is summarized HERE. It is WD Gann's Map of Time (MOT) derived from the mathematic line structure of TTTTA. In that lattermost linked essay we have the MOT on an annual basis. The MOT has a left column and a right column that, when matched, imply events of the earlier year on the left will recur in the year appearing in the column in the right. The distance between the years is not constant but expands from the bottom up.
Placing our two years of interest, namely 1906 and 2016, on the MOT we can find the correlated year which needs to be examined:
You can recreate the annual MOT. The year 1932 is at the bottom and the left column descends from 1848 to the "correct beginning" which is 1932. Then it ascends to 2016. In full cycle, it is 168 years or 1 period out of 15 which comprise a Biblical week of 2520 years. We are ending the 12th 168-year period of 15 periods of the Biblical week in 2016.
We find our two years, 1906 and 2016, highlighted in yellow on the MOT, above, and matching years in blue. And in those years, 1848 and 1958, we find very large earthquakes; Marlborough and Lituya Bay. Unlike the dates in the MOT of mankind, the dates are not the exact day. There's a reason for that which I'll defer. Nevertheless, the Lituya Bay earthquake is within 82 days of being exactly 58 years after the 1906 earthquake. Here is the information and two extrapolations:
So which is it, January 8, or January 28, 2016? I've mashed the numbers time and again. The answer is in the math which and I have proved the 20-day difference to myself. Knowing from where the difference arrives and knowing its proper disposition are entirely different matters. I do not know, from the math, the resolution. But I do know two possible clues to the resolution for the moment.
Recall from the 7th Prophecy (see HERE) the date when I realized how Mr. Gann would have left a clue to confirm that prophecy? It was in January of 2015 while watching a second airing of "The Imitation Game" it dawned on me the nature of the confirmation. And recall from the 6th Prophecy how the Battle of Washington was 69 years and 69 days from the attack on New York City (see HERE)? Those are the two clues to resolving the date of the predicted San Francisco earthquake.
The January date in TTTTA was January 28, 1927 on page 75 of TTTTA and exactly 88 years later, to the day, I discovered the confirmation of the 7th Prophecy. You will find that the 'J' of January is the first letter of my name spelled in the acrostic word 'Jimi' (my high school nick name or without the 'i' to spell Jim) and then you will find January 28, 1927 as Chapter VII's subheading:
This clue leads me to January 28, 2016. [There's far more to the 7th Prophecy but not relevant here.]

And the 6th Prophecy. The 9/11 attack occurred not just 69 years after the Battle of Washington (page 383 of TTTTA). But you had to add 69 days as well:
Similarly, the 10/16/1848 is 84 days different from October 16. Take October 16 of any year and add 84 days to arrive at January 8 of the next year. In our case, we take October 16, 2015 and add 84 days to arrive at January 8, 2016.
Did I say I would resolve the January 8 versus January 28 projected date for a major world earthquake disaster? I believe I did. From the clues I believe we are given, we cannot put a finer point on it than to say it will occur between January 8, 2016 and January 28, 2016.
I indicated there may be a test that will resolve the two dates and one which I believe may be the actual method that Mr. Gann may have used to determine very specific date and time predictions. The math is not complete but, even if it were, it is beyond either/or the grasp of most readers or interest in the "details." So, I'll leave this essay with one last riddle that everyone can appreciate and to which there was allusion in the second paragraph; the Dome of the Rock. Consider first:
On the left we have the Dome of the Rock damaged in the 1016 earthquake. On the right we have the rear dust jacket to the TTTTA. I've always thought the gold dome on the rear dust jacket was out of place for TTTTA. Then I realized, perhaps, we are looking at the Dome of the Rock imposed over the city. But wouldn't we think the city to be, supposedly, New York, the site of the "Gigantic Battle of New York?"
So I again looked at the front dust jacket of TTTTA and I see planes crashing into the midst of the city but I do not see any planes crashing into the city on the rear dust jacket (there are two in the left margin of the rear jacket, but they are not crashing into the city). On the front dust jacket there isn't a dome, there is a building that reminds me of the Empire State Building and the buildings stand erect. In contrast, the rear dust jacket has the golden dome and no planes….. but, are the buildings on the right of the rear jacket tilting a bit right? Is that steeple to the left of the dome on the rear jacket tilted right? An earthquake?
Does the golden dome identify the city? My preference would be San Francisco's dome at the Palace of Fine Arts, formerly owned by the Presidio which can be found HERE. But that's me. Lots of domes in lots of cities.
Is the dome on the rear jacket of TTTTA that which we find damaged by an earthquake 1000 years prior to 2016? Is it San Francisco? Will it be January 8, 2016 or January 28, 2016 or a day between? Or not at all?
