... this it became even more probable that the megalithic monuments of the Mediterranean islands also belonged, in toto, to the 1st millennium BC: the nuraghi of Sardinia, the Corsical torre and the talayots and taulas of Mallorca and Minorca respectively (62). The so-called antithetic motif' (two figures facing, symmetrically, a tree or a column), has survived, unchanged, the Dark Centuries': we find it on Crete and in Mycenae, as well as in Greece and Etruria (72). Sepulchral paintings in tombs of Sardinia make the latter (conventionally dated to about 3000 B.C .) , contemporary with Etruscan tombs of Tarquinia and Cerveteri (73 ...

... Doubleday references for users of the Ancient History Book Club (BCA) edition, which I assume to match that of Sidgwick & Jackson. I hope this guide can be expanded to cover other books, and the Abacus editions: any assistance on this task will be welcome. TO FIND YOUR REFERENCE: Trace the nearest figure in the left-hand column to the Doubleday page number given, and apply the appropriate correction to your reference. The result will generally give a location correct to within one page either way.

374. Rejoinder to Velikovsky [Journals] [Pensee]
... Late Bronze Age contexts, and these references were to archaeological reports, not a standard history or summary! 5. See p. 11 of my article and footnote 23. Unfortunately, when the article was printed the word "Middle" was omitted before "Bronze Age II" in the second sentence of the first paragraph of the third column on p. 11. However, the next sentence makes it clear that I was referring to the Middle Bronze Age II. 6. See note 16 of my article (p . 12) for some examples. 7. Of course, the archaeologist must be careful that the deposits are sealed and uncontaminated by intrusions from later periods ...
375. Notes on this issue: Pensee IVR X [Journals] [Pensee]
... the Moon, have mystified scientists for decades. Incidentally, Juergens' proposal places him in a category defined (and ridiculed) by one lunar scientist as follows: "There must be something about the Moon which causes astronomers and others to suffer severe attacks of imagination." With this issue we introduce "Scientifically Speaking," a regular column by Prof. Irving Michelson (p . 50). His inaugural essay deals with matters calendarical: noting the uncanny accuracy with which certain astronomical periods can be ascertained (and were ascertained in the past), he wonders how this can be so if these motions were in fact disturbed during historical times. This issue also marks the ...

Thus, 2803 gives locally disturbed polygenetic strata'. The generator' offers 10, 000 expert buzzes to its users, "enabling them to invest anything they write, not with any particular meaning, but with that proper ring of decisive, progressive, knowledgeable authority".

377. Horizons [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to "disprove" Velikovsky's theories; these are followed by ripostes from Cardona and McCreery. Also in this issue, "The Inconstant Sun", an extract from JOHN GRIBBIN'S latest book, concerns itself with recent findings on variations in solar activity, and takes a far more positive approach to ancient and modern data than that familiar from his column in New Scientist. [* * Talbott appears to be unaware that the 7th-century version of the Epic from Assurbanipal's library is merely a copy of a much earlier work, fragments of which date from as early as the 10th century. His somewhat incautious approach to a specialist field also seems to have resulted in numerous contentions (as yet ...
378. Stonehenge - A Calendar? (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Heel Stone and Station Stones is no doubt due to the fact that they were used merely as markers; they did not form part of the temple proper that stood at the center of the site. The latter included the Sarsen Circle, The Trilithons and the 19-Bluestone Horseshoe, and these received the special shaping and dressing befitting the pillars and columns of a temple of worship. The Altar Stone may have been indeed what its name implies, or, as some have suggested, an observation platform. Since its original position in the monument has not certainly been established, I did not feel justified in incorporating it into the calendar scheme. With respect to the variation in the heights ...

Jueneman, in his Innovative Notebook column (Industrial Research, February, 1973, 15), describes an archaeological expedition to the United States' capital a millennium from now: "Of the few tombs which are still in evidence, the one in Wshingaton, C.D ., remains the most enigmatic. Some scholars maintain that it was built by a chief named ...
380. The Woman Who Wondered (Prof. Dr. Hertha von Dechend) [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... unoriginal and disrespectful to the wonder shared by the authors. They were in awe. That they wrote too fast and loose is only acknowledged by those who want more. Everyone else gets glassy-eyed when contemplating their "essay." Hell, I'm shaking right now typing this out. Responding to an unsolicited e-mail, I wrote in a recent column: Now, precession figured into the usage of the zodiac after Hipparchus (190-120 BCE). That the precession of the equinoxes was only rediscovered by Hipparchus and was known thousands of years before, see Hamlet's Mill: An Essay on Myth and the Frame of Time Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend (Boston: Gambit, 1969 ...
