... of a hundred furlongs. The very small river Belus (12) runs by it, at the distance of two furlongs; near which there is Menmon's monument, (13) and hath near it a place no larger than a hundred cubits, which deserves admiration; for the place is round and hollow, and affords such sand as glass is made of; which place, when it hath been emptied by the many ships there loaded, it is filled again by the winds, which bring into it, as it were on purpose, that sand which lay remote, and was no more than bare common sand, while this mine presently turns it into glassy sand. ...
182. Mythic Mountains by Isaac Vail [Books]
... the throne, and he that sat was to look upon as a jasper and a sardine stone; and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God, and before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal". (Rev. 4.) "And the city lieth four-square. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper and the city was of pure gold like unto clear glass. And the foundations were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second saphire; ...
183. The Jewish Science of Immanuel Velikovsky: Part One [Journals] [Aeon]
... , dealt with as Part Three, in part because Velikovsky's full impact on American culture is perhaps not yet fully apparent. He has, however, had some impact: for instance, National Book Award poet Robert Bly once admitted that Velikovsky "had a great influence on my view of things", (5 ) and avant-garde composer Philip Glass wrote the music for a Velikovskian-inspired opera, Akhnaton, and hoped to get Velikovsky to write the libretto. The specific factors that concern me in this study are alluded to in its title: Velikovsky's "Jewish Science." Originally this was a euphemism for psychoanalysis used by Velikovsky's own training analyst, Wilhelm Stekel, as in his letter ...
184. The Evolution of the Bronze Age [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Copper Ages of Spain, Bohemia and the Balkans develop about the same time, c. 2300 BC, while the Bronze Age I of Spain and Bohemia (both of which have tin) also develop simultaneously. The Balkans use arsenical bronze and probably get a little tin from Bohemia. Bronze Age 2, with tin bronzes, faience and glass, clearly develops from the Western & Central European groups and enters the Middle East after the Balkan group. Silver, cobalt-glass, rock crystal and amber also are brought by this Western' group. Both groups reach the Indus. The presence of two such groups can clearly be seen in the archaeological evidence of the Old and New Palace ...

... gave the following update in May 2002: After more than a year's fiddling work, the analyses are now so far that Claus Hammer and Gero Kurat are close to the final proof. It does look all right, because we have found ashes with the same chemical composition as on Santorini [Thera], but still some investigations of the glass particles in the ice are lacking before we can be absolutely sure. ' Readers may recall that attempts to find Theran ash particles in another ice core (GISP2) proved' that Thera did not erupt in 1628 BC (the date favoured by tree ring specialists) because the particles found near that date did not match the chemistry of ...
186. Scarabs [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 1: (Winter 1973-74) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered VI" Home | Issue Contents Scarabs Immanuel Velikovsky Copyright 1974 by Immanuel Velikovsky Scarabs or beetles of ceramics, of glass, semiprecious stones, or metal often have names engraved on them: the cartouches of the kings and sometimes the names of private persons. Apparently these were used as seals. It is doubted that scarabs were used as money: there is no known literary reference to their use as such, nor does any picture show scarabs being given in payment. Some scarabs were used to commemorate an important occasion, like the large ones memorializing the wedding of Amenhotep III and Tiy ...

... seemed an astronomer's fantasy. The crucial part of any telescope is its reflector, essentially a mirror, which focuses light into cameras and other instruments. The largest telescope made has a reflector 10 metres in diameter, tiny compared with the 100 metres needed for the Owl. Until now astronomers had not even considered such a project. A 100metre glass mirror is beyond modern technology, would be too heavy to move and would be pointless because of the way light is distorted when it passes through the atmosphere. At Durham University, however, a team of physicists has designed a system that replaces traditional reflectors with hundreds of thin flexible mirrors with just a fraction of the weight. Such ...
189. Collective Amnesia In Everyday Life [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VII No. 1 (Fall 1981) Home | Issue Contents Collective Amnesia In Everyday Life Jerome A. Kroth "To go beyond the reality principle, through the looking glass of dialectical reversal, to the absurd truth."- N. O. Brown Velikovsky has provided the psychological community with a challenging concept- collective amnesia. While Freud postulated individual amnesia, and Jung developed the notion of a collective psyche and unconscious, Velikovsky appears to have married these notions into a single construct. It postulates that if the human race ever came up against a trauma which threatened its very existence, the race as a whole would have a tendency to ...
