89 pages of results. 431. New Chronology of the World History [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... . The first volume concentrates mainly of the development of mathematical statistical tools and their applications to astronomical data: dating of ancient eclipses, dating of Almagest etc. The problems of correct dating for ancient and medieval events are discussed. The second volume concentrates on the analysis of ancient and medieval chronicles and records (such as Egyptian, Byzantine, Roman, Greek, Babylonian, European etc.). A wealth of historical data is considered. The conclusions which are drawn concerning the accepted chronological dating of events in ancient history will certainly provoke controversy and serious debate. The author suggested a new chronology which is dramatically different from the traditional one. For example, new short chronology place ...
432. The Terrible Ones, Part 2 Mars Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... 10 Meteorites, when entering the earth's atmosphere, make a frightful din. So did the Maruts: Even by day the Maruts create darkness. . . . Then from the shouting of the Maruts over the whole space of the Earth, men reeled forward.11 This darkness and this din were narrated in scriptural and rabbinical sources, in Roman traditions, and in hymns to Nergal. As the similarity of the description of the "terrible ones" in the Vedic hymns and in Joel is striking, but has not been noticed, a few more quotations should follow here. The comets, just beginning to whirl, looked like revolving torches or writhing snakes; they assumed the ...
433. Samples From The Planets, Part 2 Mars Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... of Solomon was built- Eben Shetiya, or fire stone- is a bolide that fell in the beginning of the tenth century, in the time of David, when a comet, which bore the appearance of a man with a sword, was seen in the sky.10 The sacred shield of Numa at Rome, the ancile of Roman Mars, was a bolide; it fell from the sky11 in the beginning of the seventh century and its origin was connected with Mars. In the years when the planet Mars had long been pacified, its position was still watched when meteorites fell. Thus the Chinese wrote in -211: "The planet Mars being in the neighbourhood of ...
434. German Conference: from Gunnar Heinsohn [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... committed the first reported genocide of occidental civilization (Odyssey IX: 39 ff.). The Kikonians are considered extinct around -1150 but they are well alive after the supposed dark age in Herodotus' -5th c. as well as in Strabo's -1st c. Even Ismaros recovered splendidly. Orpheus the Thracian is also called a Kikonian by Greeks and Romans (Vergil, Ovid) alike. To mainstream all these references to Ismaros and the Kikonians are mere boastings of learnedness, i.e ., of how well the boasters knew their Homer. In short, no good reason so far to reinvent the Dark Age of Greece abolished by Velikovsky in 1945. The finest papers were on ...
435. The Pyramid Age, by Emmet J Sweeney (Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to show how the Pyramid Age of Egypt, the Age of the Judges in Israel and the Age of Heroes in Greece all end within a few decades of 700BC. He then promises a further work to show how all of Egypt's history from Dynasty 18 to Dynasty 30 can be fitted into the 7 centuries remaining before the start of the Roman era. 3. Comments and Discussion A. The Assumptions After a statement that the outline of his revision will stand any amount of cross examination', I am reminded of Lester Mitcham's words in 1988: Emmet Sweeney is a bold man'. Clearly he has lost none of his boldness. As already stated in my review of ...
436. The Answer to Clapham's Question: Revise! [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... inscriptions from Assyria, Babylonia, and Moab provide strong confirmation of the basic accuracy of the chronological framework of Kings- at least from Omri onward. And Herodotus provides independent confirmation of Kings on several points. All that should be non-controversial. I have also argued that a number of independent literary sources- Chinese, Indian, Persian, and Roman- strongly suggest that the Biblical flood was an historical event that took place around 1700 BC, a time frame one can also reach via Biblical genealogies using an estimate of thirty years to a generation.54 The physical evidence suggests that this Flood took place in the Indus Valley and devastated the Harappan Civilization, which most certainly was the ...
437. Comets, Meteorites and Earth History [Journals] [SIS Review]
... historical times, something of a tour de force for a man of almost four-score years speaking in his second language. The subsequent question session reinforced the impression of a powerful intellect tackling problems from a wide range of disciplines which could find their solution in catastrophism. Topics dealt with ranged from the formation of granites to the political ploys of the Roman Senate and only the intervention of lunch brought this stimulating discussion to an end. PROFESSOR CHANDRA WICKRAMASINGHE: "Evolution from Space - Interdisciplinary Evidence"The afternoon session was introduced and chaired by biologist Dr Trevor Palmer, and the speaker, Professor Wickramasinghe of University College Cardiff, turned the attention of the meeting to the ultimate interdisciplinary problem - ...
... observable at Tiahuanaco, those below by antipodal observers. The 24 days of the Twelfth are numbered with big Arabic numerals, together with their appropriate halo symbols; the 37 lunations are numbered with small Arabic numerals which are placed at their ends and also designate the solar eclipses occurring then; and the 13 revolutions of the Satellite are numbered with Roman numerals, each revolution consisting of two passages across the sky, which are indicated by A for above and B for below the horizon; thus Passage I Below and Passage I Above make up Revolution I. Also the special events' of the 24-day cycle are indicated. It can be seen at a glance how much of each lunation ...

Page 65 Paradise- The Lost Frontier: Early Voyages to the Forbidden Isles by Gunnar Thompson A detailed study of pre-Columbian voyages to the New World in medieval times, including an exposé of the role which the Roman Catholic Church played, especially in its attempt to safeguard the route to the Americas which it originally viewed as the Biblical Paradise.

440. Chapter XX. The Personification of Stars (Continued) -- the Temple of Hathor At Denderah [Books]
... I neglect refractions and hills); hence, if there is any truth in the statements made in the building ceremonials, the temple could not have been founded between those dates. But what are the records concerning this temple? We know that the structure as we see it was built in the time of the last Ptolemies and the first Roman emperors, and I have already shown that at those dates the Great Bear (the old Thigh) did not rise at all, as it was circumpolar. It is also known that there was a temple here in the time of Thothmes III., and even earlier, going back to the earliest times of Egyptian history. King ...
