... on Greek technology throws a most important light on the warm welcome accorded Greek travelers and scholars in Egypt at that time. It was in the era of Necho II (610-588 B.C .E .) that the Athenian law-giver Solon received from the priests of Sais the traditions that have come to us through Plato as the legend of Atlantis. Indeed, I concluded: "by Solon's time, Egypt had already become a technological dependent of the Hellenic World- just as the "fighting Britain" of World War II was already dependent on American industry and financial aid." [38] The great influx of U.S . servicemen to Britain during the war- ...

328. The Road to Iron: 8th and 7th Century Metallurgy and the Decline of Egyptian Power [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... ."42 This dependence by the 26th dynasty on Greek technology throws a most important light on the warm welcome accorded Greek travelers and scholars in Egypt at that time. It was in the era of Necho II that the Athenian law-giver Solon received from the priests of Sais the traditions that have come to us through Plato as the legend of Atlantis. The Saite rulers of the 26th dynasty did not initiate this metallurgical connection with Greece. A mere 8o years before (Glasgow dating), the last previous native Egyptian pharaoh of real power, Ramses III of the 20th dynasty, boasted in the Papyrus Harris that he "imported from the mines of Atika, copper ore by ten ...
329. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... suggests that this was a purposeful element of the design. No doubt arguments could be made contrary to this position .. . but what if he is right? What does it mean? A Belgian researcher, Pierre Mereaux, found magnetic anomalies around the Carnac Stone rows. John Michel, author of the 1960's bestseller, The View Over Atlantis, was the first person to suggest a direct link between standing stones and fault lines. Many years later, this novel idea was given scientific credibility during a study of stone circles. This found that many of those looked at were situated within a mile of a surface fault or tectonic intrusion. However, this does not apply to ...

... thinkers (sticking still to the Greek-speaking area). Homer's Iliad is replete with accounts of god-enacted and god-caused disaster. In Aristophanes' comedy, "The Clouds," the gods reprove the Moon for having brought disasters to the calendar and their cult. Plato begs us to take him seriously when he relates the story of the destruction of Atlantis. (One may infer that there were a great many spoofers of old myth in Athens.) In The Laws, he asserts that mankind has been reduced to marginal survivors on numerous occasions owing to natural disasters. Conversely, he is angry at the "immorality" of Homer, which he takes at face value, and in ...

In one of the books he tried to solve the authorship of the Shakespearian plays, ascribing them to Bacon; in another he tried to locate Atlantis; and in a third (the second in order of chronology), called Ragnarok, he came upon the idea that the Earth in the past met a mighty comet, and he attributed the deposits of clay, gravel, and silt on the Earth's surface to contact in some bygone age with this comet. He supposed, for ...

When Athens' great statesman Solon visited Egypt in 572 B.C . to inquire about their knowledge of the flood, the Egyptian historians told him of the Great Deluge, the destruction of Atlantis, and five different catastrophes which had plagued their development in the previous 10,000 years. There is a scientific basis now for believing that statement. 8. T. J. J. See, Researches on the Evolution of the Stellar Systems, Vol. II (Lynn, Mass., 1910). (Pages 134-5 ...

... be too young'. The margin of error then increases steadily. An artefact which could be dated to about 2500 BC in calendar' years would yield a radiocarbon date of only about 2000 BC.

... material in the Earth's interior. If so, one would expect periodic field reversals. And since the field is bipolar, a reversal must be "sudden." Velikovsky also ignores most of the results of oceanography concerning plate tectonics, the changing magnetic field of the Earth, and the legendary existence of "lost continents," such as Atlantis. The greatest arguments seem to arise over dating methods. It seems very strange that those dates with which Velikovsky agrees are correctly done, while those with which he disagrees are grossly in error. As examples of the latter, one may consider cave formations and Stonehenge. Various cave formations grow at different rates. Accurate dates can be ...
