... - but a coastline without its present-day ice cover, whose details have only recently been discovered by radar sounding techniques. He could only conclude that the maps had been copied from long-lost originals prepared by a people with advanced mathematical skills, who sailed the oceans of the world with a confidence only regained in recent centuries. (No sign of Atlantis on the maps, though!) What then are we to make of these books, and others like them? No doubt some people would use the phrase "lunatic fringe" and dismiss them as mere fantasy - and there are books that deserve such a fate. Yet taken together (and some crumbs can be gleaned even from ...
228. The Rise and Fall of Man (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... and one wonders of our time. I shall often be regarded as an idle romancer, and after several generations my tale of facts will have become a Myth, a story that the simple believe literally, but the learned deride; just as quite a number of us deride the tales of our remote ancestors, such as the story of Atlantis, that good fortune has handed down to us. With this chapter we close the first part of this book, the discussion of the cosmological myths which describe the cataclysm of the Tertiary satellite. Of course, we may only have thrown a fantastic light upon fantastic tales, added fiction to fiction. At the same time it may ...
229. Moons, Myths and Man [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... animal sacrifice; the eating of castrated pigs appears to imply the consumption of a god. Bellamy's treatment of Genesis Chapter I is extremely good but generally he fails to perceive the beauty of a cycle of recurring disasters (as perceived by Velikovsky and by Clube and Napier) and towards the end of the book he gives quite unbelievable treatments of Atlantis, the megaliths and various other garbled ideas. The book is readily available through the inter-library exchange system (my copy came from a library store in Dorking, Surrey and hardly appeared to have been lent out at all over the past 20 years). Phillip Clapham, April 1993. According to the Independent on Sunday, 4th April ...

The Atlantis Myth: a full discussion of Plato's great story. The author of this book wishes to express here his thanks to the trustees of the Hoerbiger Institute in Vienna, for the generous use of its library and archives, and especially to its scientific directors, Mr. E. Pigal and Dr. M. Reiffenstein. The address of ...

However, he was still on the right track it seems to me, as the festival of first fruits in early August, as an example, would have been highly relevant during dust veil events caused by the Taurids and the residue of cometary material in other meteor showers, such as the August Perseids.

Bigger is better This issue of Internet Digest is 30% larger than usual, so not only have members a received a double-size issue of C&C Review this year, but eight extra pages of news too. There's also a good selection of new books, including The Atlantis Blueprint from Rand Flem-Ath and Colin Wilson (see p. 2), The Crystral Sun from Robert Temple (p . 8), The Science of Catastrophic Events by Antony Milne (p . 13), and Predicting The Past from Roger Wescott (p . 14). There have been several conferences of note. The Questing ...
234. The Mars Mystery: The Secret Connection Between Earth and the Red Planet by Graham Hancock [Journals] [Aeon]
... and civilizations. In early August of 1976, this reviewer had the rare opportunity to be invited to address the staff at NASA, Langley, which talk was sandwiched between the two Viking Mars space probe landings while Hurricane Belle threatened its version of cataclysm off the coast of Virginia. But I left the audience rather nonplused by postulating that lost Atlantis might well be found on the red planet, specifically in the south polar region. Prescience or puffery? (It might be mentioned that Langley was the progenitor of the Mars excursions, but that the program was later moved to JPL for the flights themselves.) Hancock's vision leaves little doubt that we are presently living on borrowed time ...
235. Thera: Chronology at a Crossroads? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... them as archaeologists have done ever since the first calibrated radiocarbon dates began to conflict with Mycenaean and related pottery style chronologies. The paradox has to be overcome convincingly: what is at stake is a re-unification of the study of ancient chronology. Notes and References 1. See, for example, J. V. Luce, The End of Atlantis (London 1969), pp.52ff where a date of 1559 +/ -44 BC is given for a carbonised tree trunk: the tree had evidently still been living at the time of the eruption. 2. C. U.

... , intensive volcanism affecting the atmosphere, level or salinity of seas and the spread of mammals. Whatever the cause, Rezanov reiterates that the dinosaurs died out over millions of years - which rather takes the impact out of any real catastrophic view of extinctions. After these two chapters, which are refreshingly rather less stereotyped than usual, discussions about Atlantis and the Great Flood come as an anti-climax. After producing counter-arguments to many Atlantean scenarios he eventually settles for the old chestnut of Santorini. There is certainly no hint here to back up the rumour of a Russian expedition supposedly finding evidence of ruins in the Atlantic. The Flood mythology is eventually dismissed as due to local phenomena, which ...

239. Velikovsky at Harvard [Journals] [Pensee]
... remarks of an archaeology professor at Southern Methodist University: Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision, the professor warned the nation, has caused more damage than "communism and prostitution combined." The audience, which included faculty from Harvard, Brandeis, and MIT, vigorously applauded the one-time heretic, and responded with questions ranging from the Queen of Sheba to Atlantis to Stonehenge, to the carbon dating of New Kingdom pharaohs. The hecklers, apparently, chose to stay home. After formal questions and answers, an eager crowd enveloped the lecturer, pressing him with questions about his work. He seemed to enjoy the exchange. The next day Robert Goldfarb interviewed Velikovsky for the campus radio station, ...

... giants written in clay tablets found at Ur. Is this on view today? But one reference in particular caught my imagination, mention of the Thet Oera Linde Bok, a few copies translated into English being lost last century, which could throw new light on ancient history. This year a fresh translation appeared under the title "The Other Atlantis" by Robert Scrutton, available in some shops at £4 .25 or from the distributors, Neville Spearman Ltd., The Priory Gate, 57 Friars Street, Sudbury, Suffolk. I feel that this book demands attention and is a suitable subject for discussion by members. In many ways it supports or adds fresh evidence to ...
242. Book Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... only 11,600 years ago. That an alteration by 90 in the Earth's magnetic declination from Swedish samples was reported in the same year as an incident of some 12,300 years ago is not only considered as correlating evidence but is used to support the basic catastrophic principles maintained by Velikovsky. Although Velikovsky has opted recently to place Plato's Atlantis myth to a more recent time, and the writer seems unaware of this, the fair attention to Velikovsky's tenets is very laudable. In Articles in Other Magazines' credit must be given for the mention of T. G. Barnes' paper in a recent issue of SIS Review. In this column of even greater interest is the ...
243. Horizons [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the temperature of Venus (see Stop Press in SISR IV:4 , p. 97). "The Secret of Baalbek", part one, by Dr Velikovsky promises to provide a provocative re-identification of the Biblical city of Dan, the conclusion awaiting a later issue of Kronos. Shane Mage contributes an excellent and lucid study of the Atlantis motif and Plato's cosmology in "Plato and the Catastrophist Tradition", and Richard Heinberg (who is currently assisting Mrs Velikovsky with the publication of her husband's work) investigates some traditions of the "golden age" in "The Garden, the Fall and the Restoration". The issue concludes with an investigation of "An Ancient Name ...

Rand and Rose Flam-Ath are researchers and research librarians living in British Columbia, Canada. They have written a recent catastrophist book, When the Sky Fell-In Search of Atlantis, published by St. Martin's Press. They have spoken at catastrophist conferences and media broadcasts on crustal displacements. Colin Wilson stated, "If they prove correct-or even partly correct-they will have changed our whole view of human history." Lynn E. Rose (Ph.D ., University of Pennsylvania) currently retired, was Professor ...

He does give considerable space, however, to Charles Berlitz (The Bermuda Triangle writer), Edgar Cayce, (the seer), Plato and a raft of Atlantis authors, and he duly earns brownie points for obeisance to the Alvarez articles on the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary [event]. His treatment of the giant influence in the field, that of Immanuel Velikovsky, who inspired the formation of The Society for Interdisciplinary Studies, is paltry, patronising, partial and unfair. A few paragraphs about ...

The provenance for the correct, right side up positioning appeared in Henrietta Mertz's 1964 book, The Wine Dark Sea (p . 130), her privately published analysis of Homer's Odyssey. This correction again recurs in Mertz's 1976 book, Atlantis (p . 107). Guilty as charged. Ed. [1 ] Ev Cochrane, "Day Star," AEON V:6 (August 2000), pp. 21-28. [2 ] Ibid., pp. 26-27.

... the area from which came the earliest known writing system (cf. C&CR 1996:1 p. 20). Perhaps this is further evidence for lost proto-civilisation(s ) to go with Hapgood's Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings and the pluvial weathering of the Sphinx enclosure - or, speculating wildly, another possible origin for the Atlantis legend? Bimson on Iron Age at ISIS John Bimson gave the November ISIS lecture on Iron Age chronology: A Testing Time in the Iron Furnace'. It was a comprehensive summary of the revisionist case for downdating Iron Age archaeology relative to Israelite history. Subjects covered included Iron Age I material (conventionally 12-11th centuries) from Jericho and ...
248. The Book Case [Journals] [Kronos]
... - "Fred Jueneman, as an author of short essays written in a light vein on science, is the only one of his kind - a Benu bird, an avis rara: his imagination is unbridled, he is original and courageous, an iconoclast but humble and humane, with a twinkle of humor. In his scholarly disputations that Atlantis was located on Mars, he rises to Jonathan Swift's level of satire but without Swift's gall." - Immanuel Velikovsky The Age of Cataclysm by A. L.
