... ." (88) However, the biggest obstacle to lowering Greek history by ca. 200 years appears to be the theory of the Dark Age of Greece, ' which would have to be extended by 200 years bringing its total to almost seven centuries. After all, the venerated Dark Age concocted by modern historians might be the underlying psychological reason for sticking to the belief in the authenticity of the Olympic victor list in spite of overwhelming evidence against it. "The earliest history of the sanctuary is hard to elucidate owing to the lack of dateable pottery during the early Iron Age: yet from literary sources, it is clear that the four-yearly Games go back at least as ...

Oppenheim, Ancient Mesopotamia, Ch. IV, 171-83, especially "Why a Mesopotamian Religion should not be written," and "Mesopotamian Psychology," 198-206.

603. The Identification of the Biblical "Queen of Sheba" with Hatshepsut, "Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia" (Part III) [Journals] [Kronos]
... , the most recent archaeological discoveries not only do not discredit Velikovsky's "revised chronology" but, to the contrary, events observed by the archaeologists, who had no explanation for them, may find an acceptable interpretation the moment this "revised chronology" has been applied. The one great hindrance for a re-evaluation of the accepted chronology seems purely psychological. It was best formulated by a well-known Biblical scholar with whom this writer discussed a different interpretation of a Biblical text: "But how can I discard a theory which has taken 25 years of my life to build?!" There is no answer to this. REFERENCES 65. I Kings 10:1-13; 11 Chron. ...
604. Saxl's Pendulum Convection of Electric Charge Revisited [Journals] [Aeon]
... KRONOS staff (R . W. Bass, H.C . Dudley, E.R . Milton, and C.J . Ransom) were in 1976 when the article was being prepared for publication. Surely "interdisciplinary synthesis" involving revolution in physics and astronomy means more interaction than an art historian commiserating with a philosopher, a psychologist, and a civil engineer. Space Charge Sheaths, the Solar Wind and Currents In "Electric Stars"(17) I discussed why we do not know whether or not the Sun and Earth possess a net electric charge. Ginenthal seems to think that the Sun and Earth are charged because a current flows from the Sun to the ...

... the god Ea in the constellation Vela of the god Ea." As seen by the ancient peoples of Mesopotamia, Vela X would have appeared low on the horizon with its luminosity reflected "like a shiny ribbon" on the waters of the Persian Gulf. This sudden celestial apparition, according to Michanowsky, so awed ancient man that its psychological impact was responsible for a "quantum jump in human achievement." The supernova, however, cannot be dated more precisely than "sometime between 9000 and 4000 B.C ." Michanowsky opted for the lower date on no particular astronomical evidence. He merely wished to bring it as close to the beginning of Sumerian civilization as possible ...
606. On the Nature of Natural Selection and Speciation [Journals] [Aeon]
... not revert to the original single type even if they pursued a course of completely random matings. A new homogenous population might eventually emerge, but it would be unlike the original in many respects. We thus envisage subspeciation or racial differentiation as having occurred in quantum jumps. Distinct groups arose initially. Gene flow among humans was subsequently restricted by psychological barriers. As these broke down, racial boundaries became more and more obscure. Speciation The Synthetic Theory traces evolution through the infinitely slow transformation of one species into another (anagenesis) and through a branching of one or more species from an existing species (cladogenesis). It disallows, however, the concurrent emergence of many species comprising ...
607. Conclusion (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... of Velikovsky. The same year as the AAAS meeting we find Charles Fair in The New Nonsense, (NY 1974) stating, "Academia will never let him [Velikovsky] get away with it. No matter how many of his predictions prove correct, it will see him dead first." 19 William James, the great American psychologist and philosopher made the following remark about a new discovery. He said that it was, "First attacked as absurd; then it is admitted to be true, but obviously insignificant; finally it is seen to be so important that its adversaries claim that they themselves discovered it."20 The work of B. Napier and V ...

... are four ways in which the same (Venus) legend would be found among widely separated cultures. 1. Common Observation; all cultures witnessed a common event and interpreted it in a similar way. 2. Diffusion; the legend originated with one culture, but traveled to others with the wanderings of mankind. 3. Brain Wiring; psychologically human beings are so alike that their legends reflect the commonality of human hopes and fears. 4. Coincidence; purely by chance all cultures created the same (Venus) legend or myth. Sagan chose diffusion and coincidence while Velikovsky, of course, chose common-observation. Sagan states, "Velikovsky is clearly opting for the common-observation hypothesis, ...
610. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Scientific American, October 2004, p. 13) Was epic poetry developed as part of shamanistic ritual? Do its origins lie far back in human evolution? A physiological study indicates that reciting hexameter, as used in such epic poetry as Homer's Odyssey and Iliad, helps to synchronise breathing with heart rate., which is physiologically good and psychologically stimulating. DATING Neolithic Pets (New Scientist, 17.4 .04, p. 13) Historians used to think that the ancient Egyptians were the first to domesticate cats, around 4,000 years ago, but the discovery of figurines suggests they were culturally important up to 10,000 years ago in Syria, Turkey and ...
