The great Persian Empire was underpinned by qanats, upward sloping tunnels carved across deserts into distant mountains to reach water bearing gravel beds below.

... Some mention Ogyges, some Deucalion but none mentions both.

... terracotta army present a mystery. Life size statues of non-military persons were made with such realistic detail they seem out of place; their style is compared to that of the ancient Greeks. It was thought that Chinese sculptors did not portray the human body with such realism so early; the art appears to have been lost later. Why the Persians Sewed Their Boats National Geographic September 01, Forum Marco Polo observed that Persian boat builders sewed their planks together and wouldn't use metal fasteners, apparently because they believed the ocean floor was a giant magnet. Their boats, nevertheless, were very seaworthy and could ply between China and the east coast of Africa in a few months. Cosmic ...

... Whilst each volume can be read separately, the reader will find that I build on and – to a small degree – modify the work begun in Ages in Chaos. The Genesis of Israel and Egypt and The Pyramid Age deal largely with events prior to the period covered in Ages in Chaos Vol.1 , whilst Ramessides, Medes and Persians deals with events subsequent to that time.

The reader will find that I hold onto all the brilliant synchronisms and character identifications established by Velikovsky in the Ages in ...
