... as manic romp and frenzy, mortal duels of humans and animals in strange costumes making them look like snakes or mixed creatures, entire burning of slaughtered beings - these and similar activities took place in extremely carefully choreographed blood rituals which emerged at the beginning of the Bronze Age. The holy precincts in which these sacrificial ceremonies were staged provide the archaeological markers by which the Bronze Age can be told apart from the Stone Age. The theory of religion is at a loss when it comes to understand this tremendous turn in the history of religion which, after all, brought about the first stage of civilisation. This perplexity did not always dominate the scholarly world. Nicolas-Antoine Boulanger (1722-1759 ...
692. Recent Finds In Geology. Ch.17 Supplement (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... From "Earth in Upheaval" © 1955 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Recent Finds In Geology Archaeological evidence of continental upheavals in the second millennium having been presented in detail by Schaeffer, the evidence of geology and paleontology called for elucidation. To this I have dedicated a special work, now close to completion, and since it will be published before very long, I shall refer here only briefly to some of this material. A little over a decade ago it was observed that the gold digging hydraulic giants in the Fairbanks District in Alaska, sluicing out miles-long cuts, opened great hecatombs of animals. "Their numbers are appalling. They lie frozen in ...
693. Earth in Upheaval by Immanuel Velikovsky [Books]
... initial theory as a point of departure, Dr. Velikovsky presented in his second work, Ages in Chaos (1952), a reconstruction of ancient history. By its realignment of great segments of history, it enlarged the controversy as scholars from other fields joined the debate. In recent years a wealth of new finds in the fields of archaeology, geology, and astronomy have given dramatic support to the revolutionary Velikovsky theory. EARTH IN UPHEAVAL presents documentation of global catastrophes in prehistorical and in historical times — the clear, unequivocal testimony of bones and stones. Significantly, this evidence from the natural sciences indicates that these great disturbances which rocked our globe were caused by forces outside the ...
694. History [Books]
... of man is called historical geology. 2. The prehistory of man can only be known by the mute evidence of his activity, left behind on the sites where he lived. This evidence takes the form of tools, artifacts, monuments, skeletal remains, etc. The search for this evidence, its examination and analysis, is called archaeology. Archaeology is a powerful instrument used in the hands of history. As the evidence left by man must often be dug out of the earth before it can be examined, analysed, and explained, archaeology constitutes the first step, and one of the most important, in gaining knowledge of past events (especially prehistory). Archaeology ...

... in Palestine is stretched, for the sake of the biblical evidence, to fill what would otherwise be the same "Dark Age" as is attested in the lands of the Aegean and elsewhere. John J. Bimson Rejoinder to John Bimson I am afraid that Dr. Bimson's scheme for compressing the Iron Age period still does not fit the archaeological record. The only plan that does, in my opinion, is one that overlaps the Late Bronze and the Iron Ages. I do not believe Iron Age I can be condensed to five or ten years or whatever small amount Bimson's scheme uses. Iron Age I shows a development of several strata in the archaeology of Israel, and ...
697. Ancient Mysteries by Peter James & Nick Thorpe [Journals] [SIS Review]
... James and Thorpe claim, We have tried to chart a middle course between the uncritical enthusiasts and the professional skeptics' and, without question, they have achieved their aim. James, a freelance writer on historical subjects, is of course well-known in SIS circles, being a former editor of C&CR; Thorpe is a lecturer in archaeology at King Alfred's College, Winchester. Amongst their previous collaborations was Centuries of Darkness, which suggested that ancient chronologies should be revised, with the deletion of the Dark Ages of Greece and other countries. However, to avoid confusion, conventional dates are used throughout their latest book. The format of Ancient Mysteries is exactly the same as ...

... , but Germans did not turn into Russians, Americans, British or French. They remained definitely German during the period of military rule. Allied commanders in Germany could occasionally be seen in Bavarian lederhosen without ever turning into Bavarians. Today, we're told by mainstream historians that Assyria must have been depopulated during the time of Persian rule because no archaeological evidence of this period has been found; a strange state of affairs considering that Herodotus (I , 191) calls Assyria the wealthiest of Persia's satrapies. The situation in Babylon is only slightly better, with various texts, records, seals and several buildings offered as remains of the period of Persian rule. Recently, I received a ...
