... decay and eventually fade from memory. Although nothing quite matches the impact of global catastrophes, a bit of historical digging uncovers many widespread reasons for the "forgetting" of past events. The Renaissance, for example, spelt the end of many ideas and practices that disappeared beyond time's horizon: time-honored memory system used by clerics, rabbis, Greek and Roman orators, and anyone else who wanted to recall great gobs of information. Today, these techniques are nearly forgotten. Dale Carnegie teaches an abbreviated version of the system in public speaking classes. Students are taught twenty-one "memory hooks," onto which they "hang" the key ideas of their speech. Francis Yates' ...
312. Poster Presentations Abstracts [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... their common presence in and amongst the trism, and because of their resemblance to patterns precipitated by electrical discharge phenomena, I conclude that these elements also suggest the presence of strong magnetic forces, whose fluctuations caused these discharge phenomena. In this presentation, I will examine and portray Mediterranean art dated after the Bronze Age, with some emphasis on Greek art. I will show how art from this period actually depicts prior celestial events. Under this rubric I discuss and show, A) the trism in Greek mythology which includes: Herakles and Iolaos; the Gorgon; Athena (and her owl); various aspects of Helen including the Dioscuri and Theseus and Perithoos over Helen; Herakles ...
313. Orphic Hymns And Astronomy [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VI No. 4 (Summer 1981) Home | Issue Contents Orphic Hymns And Astronomy Livio C. Stecchini Copyright (C ) 1981 by the Estate of Livio C. Stecchini Greeks of classical times assigned great importance to a body of religious literature known as Orphic Hymns, which dealt with cosmology and were understood to have originated in archaic times. Up to now, the Orphic Hymns have been analyzed by scholars of religion and literature; but, recently (Athens, 1967), an astronomer of the Observatory of Athens, Constantine S. Chassapis, published a monograph, Greek Astronomy of the Second Millennium B. C. According to the Orphic ...
314. Chronological Problems in the Archaeology of the Hittites [Journals] [SIS Review]
... but occasionally linear, which Riis states is peculiar to the first period of the cremation burials (ca. 1200 - 1075)." [39] In Syria, a single example of a similar silhouette style comes from the coastal town of Al Mina, from Level VIII, known to be no earlier than the 8th century from its Greek and Cypriot imports [40]. Sams commented: "The implication here is unclear. Either this animal style continued as late as the eighth century, or else the animals of Hama have been dated much too early." [41] Thus Hama reveals the classic 500-year anomalies that form a major part of Velikovsky's case in Ages ...

316. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in Centuries of Darkness for Lachish Str. II. This is not to say that we should necessarily accept radiocarbon calibration, as the dendrochronology on which it is based has never been published except in brief preliminary articles. However, another line of evidence also suggests that the Nebuchadnezzar' destruction horizon can not be down-dated beyond the 5th century - Greek pottery. Notable styles of Greek pottery found in the Levant are East Greek Wild Goat', Athenian Black Figure' and Athenian Red Figure'. These three seem to follow each other in the sequence listed here although with large overlaps. Since some Nebuchadnezzar' destructions contain Wild Goat style (e .g . Waldbaum & Magness AJA ...

318. Chapter 7 Iron, Diorite and Other Hard Rock [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... CONTENTS Charles Ginenthal, Pillars of the Past 197 CHAPTER 7 IRON, DIORITE, AND OTHER HARD ROCK Heinsohn cites Herodotus, the Greek historian, about the pyramids being built, and since hardened iron is needed to cut and engrave hard stone such as granite or diorite, the Egyptians of the Old Kingdom could not have built the Giza pyramids and others during the Copper Age. The only critic to deal with this scientific-technological aspect of Heinsohn's work, Dwardu Cardona, has discussed this matter in A Return to the Two Sargons and Their Successors.1 That being the case, Cardona's work will be cited in extenso. He writes: "How the Egyptians were able to work ...

... provide a scientific explanation of past events, your explanation must be a "bottom up" one, not "top down." Your explanation must be evolutionary in the sense that it must start with sound physics, and proceed up through whatever chemistry, biology, psychology, and sociology is necessary to explain the mythic description. To make Greek rationalist judgments about Oriental myths, and then try to figure out some plausible chemistry and physics, is working "top down," (and backwards). This may be necessary in the very early "searching for some logical explanation" phase. However, if sound physics will not support some appealing vision of the past, then ...
320. The Origins of the Latin God Mars [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Venus. The history of classical scholarship reveals a handful of noteworthy attempts to explain the origins of the Latin god Mars. The first great study was that of W. Roscher, of Lexikon fame [1 ]. Roscher approached the subject from the vantage point of comparative mythology, calling attention to the striking similarities which pertain between Mars and Greek Apollo. He was able to show, for example, that both gods were intimately associated with oracles, symbolised by swords, identified with certain trees and/or animals (especially the wolf), closely associated with New Year rites, represented as the founders of numerous cities (archegetai), etc. Believing that Apollo personified the ...
