So did architecture, with the building of great temples- the Parthenon, built to honor Athene, and the temple of Zeus, of which a few large columns are still standing in Athens; the temples to Jupiter in Baalbek, and to Amon, who was Jupiter, in Karnak, and to various deities of the past, all of them astral gods. Engineering, too, developed as a result of the catastrophes, because the great pyramids in Egypt (the greatest engineering feat of the ...

For My sword shall be bathed in heaven:... - Isaiah 34:4-5 Talbott also suggests that Mars adopted a sword-like appearance when it entered the column between Saturn and Earth in antediluvian days. In both theories Mars is connected with the appearance of a sword, and although they relate to different eras of history they are not mutually contradictory, and both are undoubtedly correct. On two occasions, once before the Flood and another some 600 years before Christ, Mars took the form of ...

Clearly, anybody submitting unorthodox material can expect difficulties in getting it printed in a respectable journal, but the problem is wider than that, as we have shown on numerous occasions. M. A. Gillman and F. J. Lichtigfield of the Johannesburg Medical School wrote a piece in the Forum' column of NEW SCIENTIST 4/6 /81 under a heading "The almighty referee" in which they outlined some of the injustices of the present "anonymous peer-review system" operated by many leading scientific journals. In their later letter (6 /8 /81), appearing under a heading "solicited testimonials" they claimed to have ...

In Articles in Other Magazines' credit must be given for the mention of T. G. Barnes' paper in a recent issue of SIS Review. In this column of even greater interest is the mention of a paper by E. Guerrier concerning Lake Bosumtwi in Ghana. The lake is thought to have been formed as the result of impact of an extraterrestrial body, its age from glass samples taken from the rim radiometrically dating it from 1.3 to 1.6 million years. Its diameter ...

As it stands, Storer's scenario, as well as the others, lacks conviction without further evidence to explain the specific behaviour of particular scientists towards World in Collision . Generalisation and allusions to flying saucers are not adequate. The Lysenko factor can be viewed as overlaying the psychological factors described in the previous column (8 ), and working in concert with them. These factors are not necessarily mutually exclusive since a left-wing exposure would have predisposed one towards reacting while one's psychological make-up would have helped determine the mode of reaction.

Taking Mr. Shelley-Pearce's points seriatim: - (1 ) The table which he quotes might give the impression that Dr. Velikovsky had assigned 11 and 67 years to Seti I and Ramesses II respectively, whereas his estimates are 54 and 30. The last column of this table would read more correctly as "Highest attested regnal year", the point being that there is no inscriptional evidence to support either a reign as long as 54 years for Seti I or the system of double-counting of Ramesses II's regnal years proposed by Dr. Velikovsky. The mummy of Ramesses II was in an advanced stage ...
