... made use in heaven. The celestial throne is surrounded by four angels: to the right Michael, in front Gabriel, to the left Uriel, and to the rear Raphael. To these four angels corresponded the four tribes of Reuben, Judah, Dan, and Ephraim, the standard bearers [23]. The sacred ball-courts of the Olmecs of the same age and of other Meso-Americans are authoritatively acknowledged to be tied to the cardinal points of the sky. The planet Venus is prominently represented in the games [24]. The players fought to the death. The Roman circus had on its axis altars of the planets [25]. There, too, blood flowed ...

... whose journeys are given with compass directions and li measurements, enabling the determination that the Book XIII journey got all the way via central Canada (and Colorado, where a sculpture with an early-Shang or pre-Shang inscription was unearthed but not recognized in 1920) to Central America. This offers a tantalizing clue as to the possible origin of the confounding Olmec culture, which evidently introduced Mesoamerica to cities and the "Maya" (Hsia or pre-Hsia?) calendar. Recent discoveries of a thousand-year precedence of a South-China Bronze culture over that of the Yellow Valley, and of a continuity of Southern-initiated village culture into the North, culminating in the literate, Bronze Shang, lend weighty credence to ...

... to the BBC in Mar. 2001 but had no response.) If there were Blacks in America but they were victims of genocide rather than sexual predation (as the lack of genetic trace indicates) and were driven as far south as Tierra del Fuego before 4000BC, they would have vanished too soon to be sculptors or subjects of the Olmec statues [9 ]. Other candidates exist. New World cocaine in the stomachs of 19th Dynasty Egyptian mummies [10] must have been obtained, if not by direct contact [11], through N. African or W. African middlemen. There are graves dated c.1250AD of supposedly African origin in the Caribbean; Malian ...

... But, with the aid of ancient legends and documents, he insisted upon the role of overall volcanism, heavy meteoric falls, and as "first cause," a derangement of the planetary system that brought down upon the earth the proverbial "wrath of the gods," not only Olympian gods, but Hebrew, Egyptian, Babylonian, Olmec and other gods.(34) Unfortunately, for twenty-five years, the assemblages of ideas and facts of Schaeffer and Velikovsky have been largely ignored by the ruling groups of scholars. Velikovsky, "an extraordinary polymath," in the words of the late Columbia University classicist, Moses Hadas, was subjected to unscientific vilification. Schaeffer, ...

... difference between an historical approach to the Bible as opposed to a fundamentalist approach. In the last introductory quote to Part 2 in KRONOS V:4 (pp. 49-50), Horace Kallen exquisitely described Velikovsky's approach to his sources. Furthermore, Velikovsky supported his biblical stories with reports of the same events from cultures the world over. Using Olmec and Hindu sources did not make Velikovsky an orthodox Olmec and Hindu. Velikovsky never "set himself the task of revising the laws of astronomy and physics . . ." as Gardner so cavalierly claims. Rather, Velikovsky set out in 1939 to write a book on Freud's heroes - Moses, Oedipus, and Akhnaton. In this research ...
