... biblical warrior, King Ardus of Lydia, King Arktos, the bear king, of Arcadia, and even a shape shifter'. Perhaps all these researchers will one day get their heads together and stop trying to pin Arthur down to Earth and see him for what he patently was – a sky god from a time of cosmic catastrophe. Mayan Creation (BBC History Magazine, Sept. 2004) An art historian is suggesting that the Mayan story of creation was based on real astronomical events. The story may be at least 4,000 years old and a key part of the myth may have centred around the constellation of Orion. Did this represent a Mayan deity who was ...

... write anything inside the pyramids. David Roth said Hancock just refers to the Pyramid Texts, which were not in the pyramids. Discussion continued about Graham Hancock's Fingerprints of the Gods. Kirsten Morrison says he describes super-highways going through the desert but he gives no pictures and gives no back-up anywhere. Margaret Grant commented that the highways built by the Mayans and the Incas are very well-known and well documented, though Trevor Palmer said we don't know their dates precisely. Hancock claims they go back to pre 10,000 BC. Margaret remarked that they did extraordinary things: they built suspension bridges out of straw, with the straw plaited in a special way, to make flat ropes, ...
73. Sagan's tenth problem: The circularization of the orbit of Venus (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... it is good, reliable evidence from an astronomically advanced culture. When the evidence contradicts the uniformitarian astronomy, it is bad, unreliable evidence from the very same astronomically advanced culture. But what if two cultures have records of Venus' disappearance that do not coincide with our present astronomical system? On the other side of the Atlantic, the Mayans of Mexico also observed and recorded Venus' appearances and disappearances. The Mayan record of Venus is found in the Dresden Codex. E.C . Krupp in his book, In Search of Ancient Astronomies says, "On pages 46 to 50 of the Maya Dresden Codex, we see a complete record of the apparitions of Venus as ...

... sources (e .g . Teaclate Sanhedrin of the Talmud) discussing the reversal of east and west. The Aztecs relate a story about a time of gloom when the sky was too dense to see the Sun. People placed bets on which direction they thought the Sun would rise. No one guessed east. 4 There is a similar Mayan legend except in this one people did guess the east. 5 Arabia lies to the east of the countries with which it is associated; however, it had the name Erev, the evening land. A first thought about the reversals might be that it is relatively easy to flip the poles by 180o, and this would create the ...

79. On Number As Artifact: Part 2: Development [Journals] [Horus]
... And if this seems far-fetched by modern standards, it is well to keep in mind that the Incas' neighbors to the north (the Mayas and Aztecs) observed a ritual year of 260 days (! ) that corresponds rather neatly to the nine-month period of human gestation. [5 ] The number 13 played a very significant role in Mayan culture These are not familiar numbers by present-day calendar-making standards. Where do they come from? How did the early scientists use them? An interesting study of Stonehenge by Alban Wall (HORUS, Summer 1985) suggests that Zuidema's 13 x 28 has echoes in prehistoric Britain: Many investigators of Stonehenge have pondered over why the number 56 was ...
80. In Memoriam [Journals] [Kronos]
... wishing to be disturbed by the trivia of the mundane world, Dr. Myers chose seclusion in order to actively pursue his scholarly interests-which were manifold. Indeed the last year of his life had been spent in continuous serious research and writing. An imaginative thinker and copious author, Dr. Myers could knowledgeably move from the Judeo-Christian Bible to the Mayan Popol Vuh with equal facility. He was a thorough and meticulous scholar, as much at home with pre-Columbian civilization as he was with Arthurian literature, Biblical material and Velikovskian theories of catastrophism and collective amnesia. When death rudely and abruptly claimed his mortality, Dr. Myers died in the midst of work surrounded by notes, numerous manuscripts ...
