... even though perhaps a minor concern, is probably impossible because of the heterogeneous nature of the Earth's crustal material and the similar processes occurring in each case of a strike. Legends and history will afford some assistance and could afford more were these now to be reviewed in search of incidents. For some time Australian Caucasians disbelieved the reports of Australian Aborigines that McConnell Bay had suddenly appeared where before there was no water. Late studies have changed the date of origin of the feature from millions of years BP to a few thousands (Kondratov). Meteorites were often incorporated into places of worship, as sacred relics of the vitiation of, or a message from, a god. The ...
152. The Great Flood -- the Myth in Genesis [Books]
... ' or other animal actually or popularly associated with water. The Ibans, or Sea Dyaks, of Sarawak, tell that in the olden times their forefathers killed a great serpent', whereupon torrential rain began to fall. The Gipsies (of Transylvania) tell that the flood was due to a fish' having been killed. The Australian aborigines tell that a frog' who had swallowed all the water available in the world, which was calamitous, was made to laugh, whereupon he not only cried tears but also spewed out all the water he had drink, which was found to be even more calamitous. A significant subdivision of the myths telling of the Great Rain is ...
153. The Prelunar World (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... same blood as the kings (120e-121 a), while others were of much humbler stock# We are given to understand that the former was not indigenous to Atlantis but had come to the country in the distant past (113d) and established a superior culture (114d-117e) in the choicest regions, after having subdued the various tribes of aborigines which it drove out and segregated in less favoured territories, probably the mountainous regions. Then came the first faint warnings of the eventual cataclysm: the conjunction inundations of the coastlands caused by the passages of the bright planet. Slowly, but ever more determinedly as time went on, the coastal dwellers and the inhabitants of the islands moved ...
... ) latitudes in order to thrive, so, too, do the Kanakas require presumably a proportion of warmth of which they have been deprived. Thus there exists sufficient evidence to bear out the contention that the Poles are gradually spreading and in so doing that they slowly but surely drive beyond them to a warmer latitude those Who originally formed the aboriginal population or productive fruits. The same cause that has affected the grape vine, the olive, and the oak, and has exterminated many types of fauna as well as flora, when new climatic conditions supervened in given areas, is the attributable cause of the gradual decline of the Kanakas and North American Indians, who live above or ...
... , and could scarcely be succeeded by the same heavenly body under a totally different name. Phoebus really represented the far greater sun, Sirius, otherwise the Dog-Star, whom the astronomers learnt to venerate as the seat of the Almighty, the Star of Stars. Herodotus mentions that the Cynures, who dwelt in the Argive lands, were the aboriginal inhabitants, who alone "seem to be Ionians". ' They dwelt, he adds, between the Argives and Lacedaemonians, and this, in my reconstruction, would tend to place them just about Lochs Fyne and Awe, or even nearer towards Oban. Their name would seem to be connected with the Greek kyon or kynes, ...
... . They ruled the seas, had a chain of colonies stretching along the Mediterranean, and they were also the "Chittie' (or Hittites) whose "ships of Chittim" in the west are frequently mentioned in the Scriptures.12 Cassi, Catti, Cat, Cad, or Gad are all variants of the one great and original aborigine race or clan. Waddell demonstrates that as Catti they wore the "People of the Cat", meaning the Lion, and as such were known to the Norse, who, for their part, preserve the same emblem as their national insignia, namely a lion rampant, as do the Scots but properly the Caledonians. Sutherland and ...
... of "Persae" into "Libya", and were called Pharusii28 These "Persae" were not Persians, as some have interpreted the passage, but descendants of Perseus, and he, according to the ancient Erse legends, answers to the great De Danaan hero Lugh, from whom were descended the Heracleids, and who claimed to be aborigines of Britain, dcscended from Luga. The Irish Book of Invasions describes how the Do Danaan, driven out of their British territories, namely Ulster and the Hebrides, in exactly the same manner by which, according to the Greek traditions of the Argive Danai, Eurystheus expelled the Heracleids long before the war with Troy, "returned to ...
158. Ballochroy, Kintraw, and Mackie (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... offered by Dr. MacKie in his reply to Dwardu Cardona's articles on Ballochroy and Kintraw? I wish to preface my thoughts on these particular sites by making the general and obvious comment that in any discussion of the significance of prehistoric structures, it is axiomatic that we must be suspicious of imposing our twentieth century outlook onto the creations of an aboriginal mind. We should not interpret these monuments exclusively in scientific or practical terms and ignore the probability that they served a number of diverse purposes simultaneously. As Atkinson noted elsewhere: "The distinctions which we make between the rational and the irrational, the practical and the useless, or between religion and science are all part of a universe ...
... says: "In the Hesperides, whence tin comes, dwell the sons of the noble Iberes." Tin came from Cornwall, the only production centre in ancient days, and offers a considerable clue to the past. Moreover, the Iberes or Iberi were perhaps the earliest of British tribes, and without exaggeration might be described as the aborigines, whose descendants are still numerous in Western Scotland, the Western Isles, in Ireland, Wales, and Cornwall. Hence we cannot escape the conclusion that Dionysius in speaking of the Hesperides specifically meant the British Isles. When Posidonius (c . 100 BC) states in his History that the Iberes and Celts waged wars for the possession ...

... seen as a collective, sexual, trauma, and neither psychoanalysis nor analytical psychology is equipped to examine it in these terms.* [* Cf. Zvi Rix, "Notes on the Androgynous Comet" in SIS Review I:5 (Summer 1977), pp. 17-19.- LMG] Freud observed that the first law of aboriginal society is always sexually rooted, because these phylogenetic rules are the most important, because the governance of sexuality bears upon the survival of the clan, the group, the society, and ultimately the race; by their very nature these laws supersede laws which govern the interests of individual men. Laws against incest and laws governing reproduction must ...
