... , grew up at this time on the Atlantic coast of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec - where Atlantic and Pacific are linked by the Coatzacoalcos river valley - is it not likely that the Olmecs were stimulated by these two trans-oceanic routes of exploration, if those routes indeed existed? Several studies have concerned themselves with this question. The possibility of a Chinese influence on the Olmecs has been explored by Gordon Eckholm,(4 ) R. A. Jairazbhoy,(5 ) and Betty Meggers.(6 ) The theory of a Phoenician contact with the Olmecs has been formulated by James Bailey,(7 ) R. A. Jairazbhoy,(8 ) and Ivan Van Sertima. ...
82. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Gothic style that his restorations were largely reinventions from his own imagination. How many other historical restorations are fake? In the world of palaeontology a fossil first heralded in the National Geographic, Nov. 99, as a missing link between dinosaurs and birds, has been revealed as a fake with the tail of one fossil specimen from the famous Chinese deposits having been glued to the body of another, probably by the farmer who found them, as long tails are known to fetch better prices. An investigation by the Geographic revealed a tale of misguided secrecy and misplaced confidence, of rampant egos clashing, self-aggrandizement, wishful thinking, naive assumptions, human error, stubbornness, manipulation, ...
83. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The North [Books]
... in their hands. The doors of their temples also opened to the South, contrary to the custom of the Saracens. From their bells, big gilt idols, shaven heads, saffron garments, beads, and formula of " Ou mam Hactani " (Om mani padlne hum?) these lugures appear to have been Buddhists.13 The Chinese North is the point "over which the Polestar stands," while the three other points are referred to the sun E, where he rises, S, where he rests, and W, where he sets.14 The Emperor when officiating at the round altar of Heaven faces the N,15 and the Taoists turn towards the ...
84. A Skyscraper And A Sparrow. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... close to Jupiter, it was whisked by the planet from its orbit into a hyperbola and out of the solar system. Thus in twelve years it experienced three strong disturbances on near approaches to planets. The "second objection" concerned the eclipses. Stewart said: Several modern scholars (notably Fotheringham) have examined Grecian, Babylonian, and Chinese records and listed passages which seem to describe solar eclipses. A brief survey of astronomical publications reveals at least three recorded total eclipses of the Sun before -687 (the supposed date of Velikovsky's last catastrophe) which have been considered by computers to fit the present motions. This evidence .. . strongly suggests that no unaccountable disturbance of the ...
85. The Ring of Truth by Isaac Vail [Books]
... a fossil be dug from Silurian piles of rock or from the archaic beds of mythology, the fossil must have a meaning. Moses and Homer and Hesiod and a multitude of other ancient writers did not speak of dragons and of serpent monsters to perpetuate a distasteful joke upon credulous mankind. Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Hindus, Parsees, Chinese, Norsemen and Mexicans did not worship a dragon god, annihilate countless victims upon his altars, carve and paint his nondescript form on a thousand monuments, tombs, and temples without some very potent reason for doing so. As the dragon-serpent thought has become fixed in every tongue and is an element in the religion of every people, ...
86. Chapter I: The Worship of the Sun and the Dawn [Books]
... we no longer believe in astrology; we have our calendar; but we must have a Nautical Almanac calculated years before- hand, and some of us like to know a little about the universe which surrounds us. It is very curious and interesting to know that the first stage, the stage of worship, is practically missing in the Chinese annals; the very earliest Chinese observations show us the Chinese, a thoroughly practical people, trying to get as much out of the stars as they could for their terrestrial purposes. In Babylonia it is a very remarkable thing that from the beginning of things- so far as we can judge from the records- the sign for God ...
87. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Greek traditions of Manetho and biblical and Jewish traditions to show how the chronology could develop and be strengthened by these traditions and, through this, to evaluate the traditions themselves. For example, Manetho's tale of a great calamity in the reign of Semempses of Egypt's first dynasty could be dated at 2309 BC. This not only tied in with Chinese stories of catastrophe in that year, but biblical reckoning back in time from the elevation of Joseph to power also gave a date of 2309 BC for the deluge and evidence from Mandelkehr had showed that there was cataclysmal change at about this time. Tony then led us, with references to his print-outs, through the traditions of bondage and ...
88. Dragons and Serpents (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... ready to give battle, and they made a great noise... . It was a day of darkness and of gloom, of trouble, oppression, distress, and terror on Earth. ' In Jewish mythology the complementary figures of Leviathan and Behemoth, rulers of sea and of land respectively, are of frequent occurrence. In the Chinese book, Shan Hai King, we are told that the Enlightener of the Darkness' creates bright light by opening his innumerable eyes, and produces dark night by closing them. He is fiery of colour and has the body of a serpent, a thousand miles long. He never rests and his breath causes wind and wintry weather. ...
89. The Cosmic Double Helix [Journals] [Aeon]
... was born of two serpents. [7 ] Naturally, the intercourse between a male and a female serpent presupposes some sort of close conjunction between the two, as in the case of the Scottish emblem. Could it be that Zagreus' parents had been intertwined with each other? This is certainly the case with the ancestral pair of the Chinese. Thus the female Nü Wa [MAv6] and her husband Fu Xi are depicted coiled around one another in a caduceus-like fashion. They form four coils and sometimes sport wings at the top: Fu Hsi and Nu Kua. From an old Chinese print. "An even better example is that of Fu - hsi and Nu - ...

... peoples, the spread of the Black Death and the European Dark Ages. Keys noted that dendrochronologist Mike Baillie had found a major disturbance of tree rings in the 6th century, which indicated frost damage even in summer. This ties in with Roman accounts from Constantinople of bizarre weather around 535/536, a Japanese food shortage in 540 and Chinese records. Greenland ice cores appear to indicate a massive eruption at that time, and Keys traces it to Krakatoa in the Sunda Straits. On the Mongolian Steppes the increased cold made the horse-based economy difficult so vast waves of barbarians' swept westward where a cattle-based system was faring better. Conditions became ripe for the rapid transmission of plague ...
