... , p. 23 and 5.8 .00, p. 5, Science Frontiers 125, Sep. -Oct. 99, p. 1 Astronomers believe that most of the comets recently discovered close to the Sun are the shattered remains of a single giant comet, the break up of which may be the one observed by the Greek historian Ephorus in 372 BC. Another comet, the brightest seen in the last three years, exploded in bits as it passed the Sun in July. The comet Temple-Tuttle gives rise to debris which is seen every November as the Leonid meteor shower but apparently these meteors sometimes burn up far too high above Earth for the usual explanation of ...

513. Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Pharisees, Saducees and Essenes, there are inconsistencies in his accounts of these groups and of Jewish practices. The Life Bentwich describes as an apologetic pamphlet, perversely self-villifying, and he regards it as the least creditable of Josephus' works. The Wars were originally written in Aramaic for the benefit of Eastern Jews, but was later translated into Greek and probably altered to suit Josephus' stated intention to show to the Romans that the rebellion of the Jews was fomented by fanatics. The Antiquities was a History of the Jews for non-Jews, and starts with a more or less straightforward translation or paraphrasing of the Bible, cutting out the poetry, but adding traditions, legends and occasional ...
... of the most subtile air, and are united to their bodies as to prisons, into which they are drawn by a certain natural enticement; but that when they are set free from the bonds of the flesh, they then, as released from a long bondage, rejoice and mount upward. And this is like the opinions of the Greeks, that good souls have their habitations beyond the ocean, in a region that is neither oppressed with storms of rain or snow, or with intense heat, but that this place is such as is refreshed by the gentle breathing of a west wind, that is perpetually blowing from the ocean; while they allot to bad souls a ...

516. Magnetic Poles Reversed. Ch.9 Axis Shifted (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... next question, then, is: When was the terrestrial magnetic field reversed for the last time? Most interesting is the discovery that the last time the reversal of the magnetic field took place was in the eighth century before the present era, or twenty-seven centuries ago. The observation was made on clay fired in kilns by the Etruscans and Greeks. The position of the ancient vases during firing is known. They were fired in a standing position, as the flow of the glaze testifies. The magnetic inclination or the magnetic dip of the iron particles in the fired clay indicates which was the nearest magnetic pole, the south or the north. In 1896 Giuseppe Folgheraiter began his ...

... 3 , pp. 85-6); a store of Egyptian carvings found in Nimrud - a supposed anachronism seen by conventional archaeology as the contents of what the New York Times report called "an ancient Assyrian antique shop"; and the decipherment of the Linear B inscriptions, in confirmation of Dr Velikovsky's advance claim, as an early form of Greek. Dr Velikovsky's paper closed with a re-statement of the need for excavations at el-Arish as a crucial test of his reconstruction: despite his best efforts, he has not been able to persuade archaeologists to undertake a dig or a survey. This step, he felt, must be taken: "Chances are good that at such a time ...
518. Planets in the Bible: I -- The Cosmology of Job [Journals] [SIS Review]
... "And everywhere upon the globe of the earth, men think their own place to be uppermost - but since it is a globe in the ether, where should there be an upper, or where an under side of it?" (16) The fact that the earth "hangeth upon nothing" was also known to the ancient Greeks, among them the Neo-Platonist philosopher Proclus, who "insisted that the planets had moons, that stars also had satellites .. . that the spheres' did not revolve but only the planets in them, and hinted at the rotation of the Earth on its axis..." (17). Did, then, the ...
519. Velikovsky's Legacy [Articles]
... Worlds in Collision in 1950. Velikovsky demonstrated once and for all-as if any such demonstration were necessary-that it is possible to read the Classics and contribute to various branches of knowledge without a PhD in one specialized field or another, and without belonging to one of the more prestigious academic institutions. What Heinrich Schliemann-yet another rank amateur-did for the resurrection of Greek tradition, Velikovsky performed for the entire human race: Nothing less than a resurrection and reinvigoration of our cultural heritage. Like Darwin, Freud and other intellectual catalysts throughout history, Velikovsky is not only important for what he added to the storehouse of knowledge, but for the bold new questions posed and hitherto unimagined horizons exposed. To read ...
520. Andrew Collins: The Truth of the Past - Finding Historical Reality in the Alternative Field of Research [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... features discovered mostly during the 1970s by underwater explorer J. Manson Valentine do still defy explanation, especially those located in the south-west corner of the Great Bahama Bank, the modern name for the ancient Bahaman landmass now lost underwater. So had we found Plato's Atlantis? What quickly became clear from my own investigations into Plato's Atlantis is that the Greek philosopher had created in his writings a flawed utopian realm based on the decline of Athens' during his own age. The city of Atlantis was unquestionably a composite view of ancient city-ports such as Carthage in North Africa, seen here, Syracuse in Sicily, Ecbatana in Media and probably even Athens itself. As regards his Atlantic Island, ...
