... briefly state the thesis for which I claim originality. In 1972 I employed the phrase "the polar configuration" (an original phrase at the time) to describe the celestial form I believed ancient man had seen in the sky. The immense apparition involved a stationary Saturn at the celestial pole, a surrounding band with illuminated crescent and a column of gas or dust stretching along the world axis. The most compelling image for the terrestrial viewer, I claimed, was that of the pillared sun-in-crescent, representing the midnight appearance of the configuration: (1 ) At the time I offered a "picture" of the proposed celestial image to some of the editors of Pensée and a ...
92. Shoshenq I and the Traditions of New Kingdom Kingship in Egypt [Journals] [SIS Review]
... two temples of Seti II and Ramesses III, and, during the construction of the north tower of the pylon which forms the entrance to the court, the west side of the temple of Seti II had to be demolished and replaced. Along the insides of the north and south walls of the court are single colonnades, and against the columns are the sphinxes of Ramesses II which were moved back from the central axis of the approach, either to accommodate more buildings of Shoshenq I of which now nothing remains, or perhaps during the reign of Taharqa of the 25th Dynasty, when a double row of columns was erected in the centre of the court. The sphinxes were reerected ...
93. The Calendar of Coligny [Journals] [Horus]
... and the fragments constitute the sole extant document of Celtic language that has come down from an earlier time than the oldest manuscript remains of Irish. [p . 1] As to the description of the document itself: [It was] a table of 62 consecutive months, including two intercalary months. The tablet was divided into 16 vertical columns. Each column contained the tables of four months, except columns 1 and 9, each of which began with an intercalary month and contained the tables of two other months. [p . 1] (See Table A.) MacNeill provided a description of the general content of a typical month: The [date] numbers are ...
94. Assyrian History: the 'Black Hole' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... years 6 and 18 of Shalmaneser III. I have tried everything to move Shalmaneser III but without success; I was even tempted to employ Tony Chavasse's argument that Ahab was not at the Battle of Ramoth Gilead. The third concession demands that something is amiss with the Luckenbill records - a heresy. However, if we refer to the four column set of Assyrian and Babylonian contemporaries on pp. 422-425, section 1188, there appears to be much missing. Each column seems to follow on from the end of the preceding one, except col. 2 from col. 1 creating the most important omission of the main family series from Ashur-nirari through Ashuruballit to the very Shalmaneser and Tukulti-Ninurta ...
95. Thera and the Exodus: the Cause and the Effect [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 0 to 8 in order of increasing violence. Thera has been assigned an estimated value of 6, which compares with a VEI of 6 for the explosion of Krakatoa in 1883, and one of 7 for that of Tambora in 1815. No explosion has yet rated 8 [9 ]. Therefore data concerning the height of the Thera eruption column and darkness produced by the fall of tephra can be taken as comparable to Krakatoa: The Thera explosion ejected tephra, dust and gases to an estimated height of about 29 kms, well into the stratosphere. ' [9 ] For an observer in the eastern Nile delta to see even the merest tip of the Thera eruption column above ...
96. Abraham and Phallicism [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... as the attempt by a terrified people to appease the gods or angels by imitating or otherwise relating to the astronomical phenomena they witnessed [1 ]. I wish to propose a similar explanation for the two phallic events. These may have been two different, already old, ways of trying to relate to the heavens after Saturn's loss of the column which appeared to have reached from Earth to Saturn. The heavens needed to be assuaged in Abraham's day because of the obvious danger from above which was to culminate in Sodom's destruction. I lean towards the arguments of those who believe Venus was the agent of Sodom's destruction and the source of the sulphur which rained from heaven. Background There ...
97. An Interim Reply To Weir [Journals] [Kronos]
... 9, we would have to mention Years 8b, 12, 14, 15, and 20. Thus there might be a significant role to be played by something like Weir's comet. * * * Weir seems to have misunderstood page 23 of our "Analysis" paper ( KRONOS II:2 , pages 3-26). We used parallel columns there to explain our views about the textual history of Years 8b and 16, but we never dreamed that anyone would take this to mean that the data themselves were ever laid out in parallel columns. The Ninsianna document was always written as a consecutive text. Even when the text was written in columns, as on K. 7225 ...

99. Heretics, Dogmatists and Science's Reception of New Ideas (Part 2) [Journals] [Kronos]
... (80) she then claimed to have read it.(81) CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR Robert C. Cowen, now Science Editor of the Christian Science Monitor, reviewed Worlds in Collision in 1950 for that paper.(82) His review of SCV "Shooting holes in scientist's planet theories",(83) appeared in his science column and was later syndicated.(84) Cowen does not dwell on the contents of SCV so much as recounting Velikovsky's scenario with accompanying criticisms. Judging from the title, Cowen at least considered Velikovsky a scientist. While concluding that "Velikovsky has not made his case for colliding worlds," the review ends on an encouraging note: ...
100. Changing Sea Levels [Journals] [Aeon]
... different explanation for the conditions found in the Arctic area. Despite the supposed, and conflicting, dates of the remains in question, it is my honest opinion that the vast fields of broken bones mixed with sand, uprooted and smashed trees, and stones of various sizes, all frozen in muck, owe their occurrence to the same polar column which Jueneman himself had elsewhere described as a churning vortex of planetary proportions. [4 ] Although Jueneman did not mean his hypothesis to apply to the Saturnian configuration, it can easily be made to do so. And, in fact, the Saturnian axis mundi is often described in similar terms- as a twirling vortex and/or ...
