An array of 7 metre high granite megaliths, deriving from a quarry 50km away, was erected 4,500 years ago and set up with sacrificed children beneath them. There was also a cache of copper-bronze tools. In Bolivia the recent search for Atlantis did not find its objective, not surprisingly, but four 600 year old lost cities were found high in the Andes, home of mysterious Eagle Men who built beehive-like tombs. Male skeletons were arranged facing east and surrounded by sacrificed women. Other remains found were of a Tiwanaku city, the advanced civilisation which lived round Lake Titicaca, ...

... terrestrial life and of the extinction of the dinosaurs have gained a large measure of acceptance from their more uniformitarian-minded peers. Astronomers who have studied cosmic electromagnetism and geologists who have investigated anomalous earth formations have quietly pursued their research with no more than the usual academic cavil. Merely by dropping one of the zeros from Plato's date for the destruction of Atlantis, serious investigators have been allowed to encroach upon grounds perennially reserved for the occultists. At the same time, psychologists have examined ancient texts to devise theories about the origin of human consciousness. All of these discoveries and hypotheses were pioneered by Velikovsky. Since 1950, much has occurred which tends to confirm that he, like Vico, ...
... girdle-tide there. It also caused a slight alteration of the earth's sphericity, attended by great earthquakes and much volcanic action. The waters thus gathered submerged extensive land areas in the tropical girdle of our earth, while the disturbance of the stability of the globe caused the foundering of other land areas there and elsewhere. Then the loss of `Atlantis' and other culture-centres happened. We believe that reports referring to those events have been preserved in certain myths of the Book of Revelation. Those interested in a fuller discussion of the capture consequences of the planet Luna and of the breakdown consequences of the former satellite will find much material in Moons, Myths, and Man. Indeed, ...
... similar phenomena obtained: the earth was slightly more flattened again, and this caused volcanic paroxysms to flare up for a short time. That is why. it seemed as if the Old Serpent had broken its chains and escaped from its fiery prison. But it was really a new dragon. Of it, and its capture, the `Atlantis myth' tells more.

... fit Saturn into their theory. Cardona is absolutely wrong to write that they "brushed Saturn aside and relegated it to the limbo of unimportance." For an insight into the Hamlet's Mill model, I recommend two items by the astronomically trained classicist Harald A. T. Reiche: "The Language of Archaic Astronomy: A Clue to the Atlantis Myth?" Technology Review (December 1977), pp. 85-100 and the book review in The Classical Journal (Oct/Nov 1973), pp. 81-83. The former item is reprinted in K Brecher and M. Feirtag (eds.) Astronomy of the Ancients (Cambridge, MA, 1979). True enough, ...
... priests persuaded a large part of the population of Chili, and perhaps believed themselves, that the fatal earthquake of 1822 was a sign of the wrath of Heaven for the great political revolution just then consummated in South America. In like manner, in the account given to Solon by the Egyptian priests, of the submersion of the island of Atlantis under the waters of the ocean, after repeated shocks of an earthquake, we find that the event happened when Jupiter had seen the moral depravity of the inhabitants.f Now, when the notion had once gained ground, whether from causes before suggested or not, that the earth had been destroyed by several general catastrophes, it would ...

Much of the rest of the debris could have formed the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars although, when Radlof put forward his ideas, only four members of this belt were known. In similar vein, Ignatius Donnelly, American politician and advocate of the reality of Plato's Atlantis, wrote in his 1883 book, Ragnarok: The Age of Fire and Gravel, of a supposed close encounter between the Earth and a comet, traces being left behind in the form of gravel deposits [5 : pp. 123-125]. At this time there was little astronomical or geological evidence for catastrophes of extraterrestrial origin. The ...

The letter by Eric Cooley in C&CR 1999:1 has me relating the OLB placing Atland stretching out far to the west of Jutland but I said the spokesman for the Frisian Society at their meeting 1876, appended to Scrutton's The Other Atlantis (Neville Spearman 1977) made that deduction. I obtained a loan of The Riddle of Prehistoric Britain which he urged SIS members to examine, also Britain - The Key to World History, same author and publisher, 1949. I had expected much of these books from their titles but was dismayed to find their contents reminiscent of similar ...

... Juergens and David Talbott) from pursuing cosmographical heresies stemming out of (but not entirely consistent with) his own work. Nevertheless, despite Velikovsky's own reticence, in the June 1965 issue of Searchlight, the Caycean organ of the Association for Research and Enlightenment, Alfred E. Mann compared Velikovsky with the famed psychic faith healer and researcher on Atlantis, Edgar Cayce. Joseph F. Goodavage prominently featured Velikovsky's ideas in his 1966 Astrology: The Space-Age Science. In 1970, Erich von Daeniken gained a widespread following with his Chariots of the Gods? Unsolved Mysteries of the Past, in which he put forth the notion that human cultural advancement (and perhaps even the origin of humankind ...

... unsolved." Vardiman has also written an impressive-looking paper on the Ice Core dating method (which I have not studied myself). At the recent Portland conference, on "Planetary Violence in Human History Dr. Paul LaViolette disputed the Hapgood "Earth Crust Slippage" theory as argued by Rand & Rose Flem-Ath to place Plato's lost continent of Atlantis under Lesser Antarctica (which was supposedly in the Temperate Zone up until 10,500 years ago), by means of Ice Core dating. Hence, Vardiman's study of the flaws & fallacies in that method should be of interest to Dr. Laviolette. Personally, I find the Earth-crust slippage model much more likely than the entire earth ...

Secondly, since most archaeological sites that I've known of personally, in the Canary Islands for example, one of the few places where we do have mummies, the Canary Islands are interesting also because they have also the ten kingship pattern, a lot of people suggest it was part of Atlantis, the top parts of the Atlantic Highlands what would be on the mountains, you have the grasses etc., you have sheep, what was the big thing, even today in the agriculture of the islands, sheep are still running around, and in the digs that we have had, sheep, goat, pigs and dog ...

... . Schoch was surprised to find the Egyptology community not only extremely hostile but resorting to ad hominem attacks, dismissing him as a quack. Ironically one of his detractors was Mark Lehner, whose interest in the Sphinx and Egypt originated from his connection with the Edgar Cayce Foundation and psychic readings describing an ancient society founded in Egypt by survivors of Atlantis! Although scientists are not perfect, Schoch's training as a scientist did not prepare him for the strong personalities among the ranks of Egyptophiles'. He quotes Germer on the lack of success in cooperation between the natural sciences and Egyptology. The Egyptologist is initially suspicious; he often rejects results out of hand, and is unwilling to work ...

... origin Crater Lake, and Aboriginal Australian Dreamtime stories that feature animals that have been extinct for some 10,000 to 15,000 years. Every mythologist knows that tales of ancient catastrophes of one sort or another constitute an extremely widespread and common genre. Examples range from the biblical story of the Deluge to Plato's account of the destruction of Atlantis; from South American myths of universal destruction by fire and water to the aboriginal Australian depiction of the end of the Dreamtime. Many cultures-including the Chinese, Hopi, Greek, Aztec, Iranian, and Indic- recall a series of four or five World Ages, each ending in catastrophe. Many catastrophe myths ascribe responsibility for these calamities ...

... test of his theory would be a search for hydrocarbons in the atmosphere of Venus. In the Soviet Union, a journal of popular science, Nauka i Zhizn (Science and Life), in a series of articles continuing since 1962, has been casually presenting Velikovsky's theories, even the parenthetical speculation that in the legend of the sinking of Atlantis one too many zeroes crept in to the traditional dating of the event. Velikovsky's name, however, has not been mentioned in the series. The Italian multi-lingual journal Civiltà delle Macchine, in its issue for May-June 1964, underlined the need for eternal vigilance to preserve the spirit of the scientific method, which had been discussed at length ...
