... tribe of Gad, yet of that tribe. The position of Gad is recognized or ranked similarly to the "family of Atlas", as Plato speaks of in the Critias: "Atlas had a numerous and honourable family, and his eldest branch always retained the kingdom; and, again, when he describes how the ten kings of Atlantis met every fifth and sixth years to deliberate, "like their ancestors giving the supremacy to the family of Atlas". There were ten tribes of Israel, for Ephraim and Manasseh were properly Egyptian. Moses made another reference to Gad of considerable significance, for he evidently regarded the tribe or nation as the true rulers and lawgivers of ...
... Sir J. G. Wilkinson, the well-known Egyptologist of Victoria's time, explained that the well must have been bored to enable the workmen to quit the interior after blocking the passages. Egyptologists may be at least credited with boldly eccentric ideas. 15. Antiq. of the Jews, I, lv, 3. 16.

403. The Golden Age and Nova of Super Saturn [Books] [de Grazia books]
... earlier as Osiris-Saturn. Frequent efforts philosophically to cover over the deep trench of tradition connecting the two gods have failed to divert the mainstream. Such efforts have built a distinctive existential character for Christ. The => Age of Saturn in cultural terms was probably what is usually designated as upper Paleolithic and Neolithic. It would be the age of Atlantis and other civilizations lost to view in the disasters that followed. Saturn, who was generally accredited with bringing agriculture and other useful arts to mankind, was the first Lord of the Mill, a sky wheel grinding out material and spilling it upon the Earth-gold, salt, sand, and stones. Before it sank in a cosmic maelstrom ...
404. Galactic Domains, G Fluctuations and Geomagnetic Reversals [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... perturbations due to fluctuating gravitational action between the Sun and planets will be inappreciable in the cumulative sense over the cosmic time-scale, but observable disturbance of the planetary orbits would be in evidence at such times. The shifting of heavenly bodies' on which Velikovsky (1950) dwells in discussing the reports of Plato in the context of the story of Atlantis and the great catastrophe 9000 years before Solon H 1,600 years ago), may be merely fantasy, but recently, it was reported (Emiliani et al, 1975) that analysis of deep-sea cores from the Mexican Pattern of geomagnetic field reversals due to motion through cubic domain space during past 4 million years.

It will not do to present one's work as if it were the first' or an original' or academically proper', leaving earlier labourers in the role of unmentionables'. We are just as legitimate.

... Maya and Their Neighbors, (1940), p. 476] sees no easy way to avoid the conclusion that some of the associations of human artifacts with extinct animals may be no more than three thousand years old."69 Elephants Not only that, but the American Indians also made representations of elephants. Ignatius Donnelly in his book Atlantis, (NY 1985), pp. 169170 states, "There are in Wisconsin a number of mounds of earth representing different animals-men, birds and quadrupeds. Among the latter is a mound representing an elephant, so perfect in its proportions, and complete in its representation of an elephant, that its builders must have been well acquainted ...
... land, and a more genial clime pervade a greater part of the earth. NOTE II. THE LOST CONTINENT. Evidence is continually accumulating which goes to show that a great Pacific continent now lies under water. Since the chapter on " Oceanic Augmentation " was put in manuscript form 1 have read, with intense interest, the " Lost Atlantis," by Ignatius Donnelly. The mass of evidence this author brings forth to prove the existence of a submerged continent in the Atlantic waters is simply astonishing. The fact that a great insular continent has, in very recent geologic time, been overflowed, seems to be so clearly proven that it may be looked upon as an established ...
409. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... 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 ...

... new attempt should be made to interpret the still unread characters of the Cyprian inscriptions, the linear script of Crete, and the pictorial script of that island, and thus to lift the veil that conceals the past of Crete and of the Minoan culture, the maritime adventures of the Carians in the second millennium, perhaps even the story of Atlantis. 84.

... those who spoke the archaic language, who were involved in the archaic cosmos, that he is everywhere the same function. And who is the Demiurge? He has many names indeed. Plato does not care to explain in our terms. Is this personage a semi-scientific fiction, the manufacturer of a planetarium, just as the Lost Continent of Atlantis is a semi-historical fiction? The author himself says only that such stories are "not quite serious." Yet they are surely not a spoof. Plato, who shaped what is called philosophy and its language, who was the master of its penetrating distinction, reverts to the language of myth when he feels he has to; and ...

... other standards also had to be affirmed. Besides McCarthyism there were at least two other cultural phenomena that characterized the period, "pseudo-science" and "Modern Art." It was indeed a golden age of quackery (as defined by the dominant societal values of the time). Besides a noted revival of interest in traditional occultist subjects (Atlantis, the Abominable Snowman, Nostradamus, astrology) and the new cosmography of Immanuel Velikovsky, there were also the writings of Wilhelm Reich and L. Ron Hubbard (whose Dianetics first appeared in the same year as Worlds in Collision), and the first flying saucer accounts, most notably those by George Adamski, who described his meetings ...
