... The bias against early achievements in astronomical time-keeping remains in pronounced form, however, long after any question of man's practice of astronomy is removed by the historical record and his capacity for accurate measurement is demonstrated in architecture and mathematics. "At the very outset of recorded Egyptian history we find mathematics highly developed; the design and construction of the Pyramids involved a precision of measurement impossible without considerable mathematical lore."(94) But, according to Neugebauer, Egyptian astronomy "remained through all its history on an exceedingly crude level...."(95) Referring to the Old Babylonian period, "about 1600 B.C ., " he writes that "no ...
552. Generalists, Specialists, "Pereset", and Ancient Astronomical Awareness [Journals] [Kronos]
... a scientific evaluation of the question. Nor does Lowery's addition improve the case. The suggestion that the ancient Egyptians ignored the variation in day length is first cousin to Sagan's argument concerning the 360 day year, a rationale Velikovsky has called "simplistic" (KRONOS III:2 , p. 25). At the latitude of the Great Pyramid, the difference between the longest and shortest day is roughly 3-1/2 hours. Though not as great as in more northern latitudes, the difference is not negligible and certainly would have been observed by those who oriented temples astronomically and who had developed formalized use of the gnomon (obelisk) by the time of the 4th Dynasty. ...

554. Heretics, Dogmatists and Science's Reception of New Ideas (Part 2) [Journals] [Kronos]
... The Humanist (March/April 1978), p. 2. Brown asked why the near collision with Venus did not destroy the stalactites and stalagmites in the Carlsbad Caverns or disturb the horizontal strata in the Grand Canyon; did not demolish the Cro-Magnon caves of Europe; did not destroy Stonehenge; did not level Egyptian temples or disrupt the pyramids? The letter itself was not specifically addressed to Velikovsky. Since all of Brown's questions had already been answered long before (see Pensée IVR I and Pensée IVR II), some even by Sagan in The Humanist, Velikovsky never bothered to respond, and no reply was ever printed. 72. The Humanist (July/August 1978 ...

... been the black uraninite (pitchblende) deposits of Bohemia, from which the Curies extracted radium in 1898. There are copper-containing radioactive minerals, such as torbernite (copper uranyl phosphate), which has a green color, and is also found in Bohemia.(7 ) It usually occurs in mica-like aggregates, but can be found as a pyramid shape, although rarely. It is this latter configuration that would be most likely to attract the attention of the finder, perhaps initially as a symbolic amulet and later, when its other property was discovered, as an enhancement of the metaphysics of pyramidology which might have been in vogue even at this early age. An associated mineral, ...
