... anything of discoids. A disk is a product . WHITEHOUSE S HEBREW WORLD 23 of measurably advanced art. On the other hand, primeval men saw spheres and spheroids on every hand. The sun and moon are visible globes. The sand grain and the bowlder, the hailstone and the dewdrop, the seeds of grass, the fruit of trees, the egg of bird and beast and fish, the sky which incloses all, and the eye which discerns all, are spheres or spheroids. What so natural as to think the earth a sphere? What so unlikely as the supposition that the artless ancestors of any ancient people ascribed to the earth the form of the mathematical solid ...
52. Was Hatshepsut the Queen of Sheba? [Articles]
... the exchange of goods, the Egyptians bringing various gifts and the Puntites offering their gifts. Here is Perehu again with his wife Eti, the badly deformed lady, and various people behind them bringing gifts from further left, and again further to the left you get the same depictions of the little golden pots with the cattle and the palm trees. Above that another line of water shows that all this is happening by the shore, and you can see the legs of men and they are carrying- you can just see one up there- they are carrying myrrh trees planted in baskets slung on poles that go across their shoulders. This white slab here is white because it's ...
53. Has Science Got it Wrong? – Remarks on the Arctic [Journals] [SIS Review]
... asked what they understand by the term Ice Age' most people seemingly believe it to have been an era when continuous icesheets blanketed Arctic regions intercontinentally down to approximately latitude 30 degrees N in America and latitude 50 degrees N in Europe. The resultant bleak landscape is also often imagined (especially by artists) as having hosted isolated stands of coniferous trees and large quadrupedal mammals like the yak, the Hairy Mammoth, and the Woolly Rhinoceros hunted by fur-clad ancestral Man. The origins of such concepts lie principally in orthodoxy's placement of such an Ice Age' in the Pleistocene epoch, which modern opinion avers came to an end (with the Ice Age' itself) around 11,000 ...
54. 1990 ISIS Fellowship Lecture Meeting [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... their radiocarbon activity, 300 years cannot be removed. He cited the evidence of an Irish bog oak trunk spanning part of this period (at least 100 years) whose radiocarbon values paralleled those of the master chronology. In the second part of his talk, Dr Baillie presented the evidence for the tree-rings recording volcanic events. The North American trees lived in fairly marginal conditions at high altitude, the bog oaks of Ireland and Germany likewise were very vulnerable to climatic change. The Tambora eruption of AD 1815 resulted in narrow tree rings in the following years; the ?Rabaul eruption at around AD 540 also showed as an acid spike in the ice core records and seemed to be ...
55. The Loss of Paradise and the Fall, of Man [Books]
... real plantation: here it is only another name for the pre-capture world'. As we know from the second creation account, this world consisted of the Earth and of the vault of heaven above it. How this firmament was held up we are not told, but from Genesis ii. gb it appears that there was a very important Tree of Life' which was planted exactly in the midst of the garden'. Both these points sound most interesting but nothing more is told concerning this tree, or of its evidently significant position, in the Book of Genesis, and also Jewish or other Semitic mythology hardly contains anything like a reference. Most probably it is a mythological ...

... with all kinds of spices" [12]; Sargon records that this same Queen Samsi sent gifts which included gold, precious stones and aromatic substances [13], and Esarhaddon later received gold, silver and precious stones as tribute from Arabia [14]. South Arabia was anciently the chief source of frankincense, a resinous exudate from trees of the genus Boswellia, and myrrh, a similar product from trees of the genus Commiphora, the principal species of the former (B . sacra) and two species of the latter (C . myrrha and C. kataf) being native to the region. Herodotus lists frankincense, myrrh, cassia and cinnamon as the products of ...
57. The Hermes Connection [Journals] [Aeon]
... the column are considered to be imaginative mythic expressions rather than real historic events. The peculiar trace of civilization from a critical juncture about the 9th century B.C . has been something of a puzzle to historians. But much might be explained by the simple consideration that the Saturnian column- or the symbolism of the trunk of the World Tree or the World Mount- had a rebirth in the collective psyche of mankind in the late 8th or early 7th century BC (either with or without accompanying Velikovskian cataclysms), producing a re-experience of more ancient events. By connecting hermetic myths and the symbolism of the Tao to the prior world of the apparition, perhaps we can shed ...
... the representations of Egyptian and Assyrian divinities, is the conjoined symbol of the two principles, slightly modified from the natural emblems, and a figure which there is good reason to suppose is symbolical, nearly corresponding with the sacred Tau, which occurs in the Palenquan temples, may yet be found to have a like significance. The Mexican "Tree of Life" had this form. Much might be said upon the question here suggested, but it is not necessary to our present purpose. We have the presumptive proof of the complete recognition of the reciprocal principles among the American nations, in the admitted fact that they were, with great uniformity, devoted to Sun Worship, a ...

... considerably damaged. (g ) Its " weird and uncanny freaks " caused roofs to be torn off buildings, a corrugated iron garage was lifted bodily from one field and thrown violently into another, heavy furniture and fences were picked up by the gale and carried long distances, hayricks were carried through the air for over a mile and big trees were uprooted and moved considerable distances. (h ) The tornado coincided with a serious colliery explosion in the region which caused the death of many miners. 8. In their general features these two events, the Amalfi landslide and the Glamorgan tornado correspond. The tremendous gale over a narrow track, the cloudburst, the suddenness, reveal ...

... about 4,000 feet of sands. ' The upper horizon (bed), characterized by mastodon, hippopotamus, and ox, is similar to one of the beds in Siwalik. [Wadia adds], The sediments are remarkable for the large quantities of fossil-wood associated with them... Hundreds and thousands of entire trunks of silicified trees and huge logs lying in the sandstones' suggest the denudation of thickly forested' areas. Animals met death and extinction by the elementary forces of nature which also uprooted forests and from Kashmir to Indo-China threw sand over species and genre in mountains thousands of feet high. "In the Andes, at 16o 22' south latitude, a ...
