Sochi passes flame to Pyeongchang
The Sochi 2014 torch is topped by a flame shaped like a comet, for ISON (C/2012 S1),
Pentagram torch unveiled just days after SB 51 torch, Patriots winning 5th title, Osiris asteroid search, all of which was part of the torch unveiling pointing to 2018.
Osiris reaches "Bennu" late 2018
Tying in with the martian underworld.
Reaching Bennu and Mars in November 2018, shortly before 46p flyby (original target of Rosetta/OSIRIS) followed by the release of "Miracle Underground"
On 16 December 2018 the comet will pass 0.0777 AU (11,620,000 km; 7,220,000 mi) (~30 LD) from Earth.
(OSIRIS) on-board the main spacecraft of the European Rosetta mission. The spacecraft will be launched early in 2003 and is scheduled to meet comet 46P/Wirtanen in 2011 at a solar distance of more than 4 AU.
Just 1 week before "Miracle Underground"!
Fitting in with the 2018 WC, Hayabusa 2 etc, Pyeongchang 2018 closes with a timely asteroid flyby...
A small asteroid 2017 DR109 makes a flyby on Feb 24, 2018 (also the final day of the Phoenix Park), followed by closing ceremony on Feb 25 in the stadium built intentionally for the ceremonies only. "2018 Winter Olympics will be held at the Bokwang Phoenix Park (Mansion of the Benu) in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The events will be held between 10 and 24 February 2018." Then the flame is passed again. Almost a type of Bennu contact event highlighting the summer and thanksgiving 2018 rendezvous ....
Dates: Feb 9, 2018 – Feb 25, 2018
SpaceX: Iridium-5 to launch in March
Iridium has contracted SpaceX to launch seventy-five of the Iridium-NEXT spacecraft via its Falcon 9 rocket. The first launches under this contract were conducted earlier this year: Falcon missions in January and June have deployed twenty satellites into orbit. Another launch is expected later this year, with three more in the opening months of next year bringing the constellation up to seventy satellites.
A further launch, currently scheduled for next March, will carry five additional Iridium spacecraft and the two GRACE Follow-On geodesy spacecraft for NASA and Germany’s DLR.
SX phoenix mission at the end of March/Olympics possible via another iridium launch (5) which uses phoenix symbolism
"Mircle Underground" resonates with both the '33' 2010 Chile and 2001 Seattle "Contact" quakes and near earth asteroids with the "fenix" underground:
There is a 'Miracle Underground' rising via the Phoenix (Osiris) in 2018 and passing the torch to new horizons as represented by ignition.
The star sign representing the first consonant of the second syllable of the Korean alphabet for PyeongChang is engraved on the outside of the ignition hole to symbolise the Games’ vision for opening new horizons.
Osiris REx, Bennu, Isis impactor, seismic underworld of Mars, safe to say all the symbolism in place for the features on Bennu to follow the Egyptian theme?
Miracle Underground and Deep Impact:
Fenix underground owned by Codelco:
After the state-owned mining company, Codelco, took over rescue efforts from the mine's owners, exploratory boreholes were drilled, and seventeen days after the accident a note was found taped to a drill bit pulled back to the surface:"Estamos bien en el refugio, los 33" (English: "We are well in the shelter, the 33 of us").
Deep Impact Codelco projectile-impactor:
Cathodes from the Salvador division of Chile's state copper corporation Codelco are due to be shipped Thursday to Nasa to be used to make a projectile to crash into the comet Tempel 1, the company said.

Deep Impact targets possible 2020 asteroid flyby
Asteroid 163249 is pretty small, probably around 800 (plus or minus 400) meters across. That would make it the second-smallest minor planet to be visited by a spacecraft, between Itokawa and Hartley 2 in size -- but by the time Deep Impact gets to it, OSIRIS-REx will have visited a similar-sized one, 101955 (1999 RQ36) Deep Impact would approach the asteroid from its night side, seeing it at very high phase, which means the best science would happen on the way out, with the asteroid at lower phase of around 40 degrees. The encounter would happen while OSIRIS-REx is operating at asteroid 101955, a fun juxtaposition much like the dual comet encounters that happened with Hartley 2 and Tempel 1 two years ago. (163249): In 2011, NASA considered sending the unmanned spacecraft Deep Impact toward the asteroid with the aim of performing a flyby[2] in 2020.
Deep Impact sets path for asteroid encounter in 2020

Although Deep Impact is no longer active it is very fitting NASA proposed Deep Impact and Osiris REx conduct near earth asteroid missions at the same time!
2020
Hayabusa 2 is expected to arrive at the target in July 2018, survey the asteroid for a year and a half, depart in December 2019, and return to Earth in December 2020.[7]

- January: OSIRIS-REx completes planned Bennu observations and sampling
- Deep Impact in October 2012 would finish targeting asteroid 2002 GT, setting up for a high-speed flyby in January 2020
-The Early Return option would require OSIRIS-REx to make a much larger Asteroid Departure of 935m/s on January 3, 2020 as compared to a 328m/s burn for the 2021 departure. Returning a full year ahead of the baseline schedule would allow for sample analysis to begin one year earlier than currently planned.
COLLABORATION BETWEEN OSIRIS-REX AND HAYABUSA-2
Hayabusa, Osiris, Deep Impact all were set to depart near earth asteroids to kick off 2020!
The follow up NASA mission to NEAR is Osiris rex which was initiated with the falcon 9 'amos' impact
Amos stands for "Affordable Modular Optimized Satellite"[5] and is also an allusion to the prophet Amos.

The Amos Earthquake
Joel repeats the motto of Amos: "The Lord also will roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem," and adds the seismic theophany imagery "the heavens and the earth shall shake"

The Book of the Dead, an ancient Egyptian manual of resurrection technology, identifies both the falcon and the heron/phoenix as key icons, each of which is apparently associated with aspecific directional portal or doorway in the sky. In Spell 13, the Spell for going in and out of the West (symbolic of the Underworld), the afterlife journeyer states: “I have gone in as a falcon, I have come out as a phoenix...”1 The former bird corresponds to the southernstargate of what may be termed “ex-carnation,” (“..gone in...” to the Underworld), providing a conduit for the soul to leave the body after death.The latter bird corresponds to the northern stargate of incarnation (“...come out...” to the Earth), allowing the soul to return to a new body. http://www.theorionzone.com/egyptian_stargates.htmSo it goes without saying this is yet another NEAR Mission right on time:
While the target can change based on launch date, the current planned target is 1991VG. It will be visible for astronomical observations from Earth in the July 2017-March 2018 timeframe, which will help refine its orbit ahead of the mission.
The symbolism of NASA's two NEAR mission so far are primarily "Phoenix" "underground" and all key dates have coincided with earth shaking. Next up is the launch of InSight in May 2018, Hayabusa rendezvous in June/July, and Osiris-REx/Bennu beginning in mid June during the world cup!
Geb was the Egyptian god of the Earth and later a member of the Ennead of Heliopolis. He had a viper around his head and was thus also considered the father of snakes. It was believed in ancient Egypt that Geb's laughter created earthquakes[1] and that he allowed crops to grow.Geb was frequently described mythologically as father of snakes (one of the names for snake was s3-t3 – "son of the earth"). In a Coffin Texts spell Geb was described as father of the snake Nehebkau. In mythology, Geb also often occurs as a primeval divine king of Egyptfrom whom his son Osiris and his grandson Horus inherited the land after many contendings with the disruptive god Set, brother and killer of Osiris. Geb could also be regarded as personified fertile earth and barren desert, the latter containing the dead or setting them free from their tombs, metaphorically described as "Geb opening his jaws", or imprisoning those there not worthy to go to the fertile North-Eastern heavenly Field of Reeds. In the latter case, one of his otherworldly attributes was an ominous jackal-headed stave (called wsr.t) rising from the ground onto which enemies could be bound.
Geb and Nut together formed the permanent boundary between the primeval waters and the newly created world. [4]As time progressed, the deity became more associated with the habitable land of Egypt and also as one of its early rulers. As a chthonic deity[5] he (like Min) became naturally associated with the underworld, fresh waters and with vegetation – barley being said to grow upon his ribs – and was depicted with plants and other green patches on his body.
The Egyptians believed that Geb was the third divine pharaoh, Shu before him and Osiris after, and the one who supported Horus' right to the throne.

"Osiris is the mythological father of the god Horus, whose conception is described in the Osiris myth, a central myth in ancient Egyptian belief. The myth described Osiris as having been killed by his brother Seth, who wanted Osiris' throne. Isis joined the fragmented pieces of Osiris, but the only body part missing was the phallus. Isis fashioned a golden phallus, and briefly brought Osiris back to life by use of a spell that she learned from [Geb] her father. This spell gave her time to become pregnant by Osiris before he again died. Isis later gave birth to Horus. As such, since Horus was born after Osiris' resurrection, Horus became thought of as a representation of new beginnings and the vanquisher of the evil Set."
Geb, as Earth, finalizes the four cosmic elements of creation (Atum = Fire, Shu = Air, Tefnut = Water). He lies at the origin of the organization of the element and of divine kingship on Earth. He is the first divine king.

Some Egyptologists (specifically Jan Bergman, Terence Duquesne or Richard H. Wilkinson) have stated that Geb was associated with a mythological divine creator goose who had laid a world egg from which the sun and/or the world had sprung.
The underworld lord bringing about creation will be a strong theme in 2018 as seen with the Russia World Cup between June-July 2018:
. The bird depicted in the poster is the “bird of creation” in Mordovian mythology, a powerful and evocative figure, symbolizing nature and life itself. The bird and the football are decorated with the traditional Mordovian pattern representing the uniqueness of the local art and crafts.

The image of the Great Bird (mdM Ine Narmon’, mdE Ine Narmun’) is the
most archaic in Mordvinian mythology where she acts as the creator of the
world. Thus, she lays the Great World Egg (mdE Ine Al, mdM Otsiu Al), from
which the world appears. The Earth comes from the egg-yolk, while the sky
and the underground solidity emerge from the eggshell.
A similar motif, the creation of the world from an egg laid by a bird, is
typical in the cosmogony of other Finno-Ugric peoples: Finns, Estonians, Saami,
Komi (Myths 1994: 564). Likewise, in Mordvinian mythology, the Great Bird is
the original mother of some ethnoses and deities. According to a Mordvinian
myth, the forefathers of Erzians-Mordvinians, Russians and Chuvashs were
born from the three eggs of the Great Bird. Similarly, deities-patronesses of
fertility – Norovava (mdE), wind – Varmava (mdM, mdE), woods – Vir’ava (mdM,
mdE) were hatched out of three eggs laid by Ine Narmun’ (mdE) in the nest on
an unusual birch (Harva 1952: 141) which grew in the centre of the Earth.
Three branches of the birch formed the tree-top, and three forks – its root.
The birch was found by the Great Bird (God’s messenger) – Ine Narmon’ (mdM),
who built a nest in the tree-top, laid three eggs, hatched them, and out came
the three sisters-deities.
CREATION OF THE WORLD
Less known is the motif of the universal bird Ine Narmun’ (mdE
‘great bird’), who lays the world egg (mdE&M Ine al, mdM Oziu al).
The egg yolk turns into the round earth, the eggshell into heaven
and the underworld.
The Egyptian goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca) is a member of the duck, goose, and swan family Anatidae. It is native to Africa south of the Sahara and the Nile Valley.
Egyptian geese were considered sacred by the Ancient Egyptians, and appeared in much of their artwork.
The winged OSIRIS-REx and its heron-like TAGSAM also evoke attributes of Bennu, as does the egg shape of the asteroid itself."
Earth's Rotation Is Mysteriously Slowing Down: Experts Predict Uptick In 2018 Earthquakes
Scattered in orbits around the sun are bits and pieces of rock left over from the dawn of the solar system. Most of these objects, called planetoids or asteroids — meaning "star-like" — orbit between Mars and Jupiter in a grouping known as the Main Asteroid Belt.

The timing of the south pole 67P feature named after Geb was indeed interesting given SB 50 in the stadium of the San Jose Earthquakes! Moving on remember the original target for Rosetta was 46P which makes a close encounter in 2018!
Meaning 46P also features the same Geb/Osiris symbolism...
