... the deep-earth theory to ancient cataclysms, and he wishes for more exploration of his theories because deep-earth forces might be the source of such cataclysms and/or they may be an untapped energy source. Catastrophism and Ancient History readers will find Baran's Atlantean chronology a challenge because he holds to Plato's 9000 B.C . dating of the fall of Atlantis. There has been a strong move away from this early date, caused in part by Velikovsky's chronology in Worlds in Collision, and by geological, oceanographic, and seismological research by James Mavor, A.G . Galanopoulos and Edward Bacon, and Jürgen Spanuth. [4 ] Increasingly, scientific and reality-based mythological research has been focusing ...

... - as another Frisian Burgtmaagd. Cecrops, the founder-King of Athens, turns out to have had a Frisian mother, and Buddha emerges from a Frisian colony in Kashmir - indeed, his name turns out to be Frisian. There seems no doubt that there is Frisiomania at work here, akin to the patriotism which led Olaf Rudbeck to place Atlantis, the Garden of Eden, and the cradle of civilisation in Sweden (in a three-volume work, 1675-78), and that which led a Flemish councillor, writing in 1806, to place the Elysian Fields in the Lower Rhine and to claim that the name Flushing preserved that of Ulysses. These works may well have provided inspiration for ...
54. Review: Act of God, by Graham Phillips [Journals] [SIS Review]
... New Age Egyptologists over the last few years. When Michael Reade first kindly lent me the book I must admit to groaning inwardly, as I found both its appearance and presentation a bit off-putting. The front cover carries an eye-catching but otherwise irrelevant picture of the Khafre Pyramid, along with the grab' words God, Tutankhamun, Moses and Atlantis. This clever if obvious contrivance shows that the Author, a media studies lecturer, certainly knows his subject - but does he know anything about Egyptology? In the typically New Age' notes on the back cover, Graham Phillips says this is a real-life historical detective story, which is his special area of expertise. He therefore claims ...
55. Culture Heroes (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... where the waves had thrown them, one of these princes or priests might join a group. Many myths tell us of such men, the bringers of culture to a people that had lived like the beasts of the fields before their advent. Most of the culture heroes seem to have come from that greatest of pre-lunar seats of culture, Atlantis. Small but mighty Atlantis was lost altogether- while the huge blocks of Africa-Europe and America lost only inconsiderable fringes from their coasts. Then, as now, these vast continents were the seats chiefly of very primitive races. That is why a man of even moderate knowledge appearing among them would be regarded with awe and veneration. The difference ...
56. Isaac Asimov in Absurdity [Books]
... be a master of doing as he has in this case! To show that Velikovsky couldn't be trusted to handle even simple data, Asimov then writes: "The entire corpus of humanity's myth and legend yields sentences on every side of every question and sometimes one of them must be hammered a bit to make it fit. Velikovsky talks about Atlantis, for instance, on page 147, saying: Critias' the younger remembered having been told that the catastrophe which befell Atlantis happened 9,000 years before. There is one zero too many here. ' "So he [Velikovsky] removes it. What's a zero? Velikovsky makes the Atlantis catastrophe nine hundred years before Critias ...
... of fact, where Velikovsky's thesis is concerned, tests involving Mars now contradict only Sagan. Wrong about argon, wrong about nitrogen, unsure about neon. It is Sagan's cosmological theories which (upon analysis of the evidence) are poorly thought out -if thought out at all- and found severely wanting in the balance."19 Santorini- Atlantis Sagan states, I should also point out that a much more plausible explanation exists for most of the events in Exodus that Velikovsky accepts, an explanation that is much more in accord with physics. The Exodus is dated in 1 Kings as occurring 480 years before the initiation of the construction of the Temple of Solomon. With other supporting ...

... been trading with Egypt- I believe they were known as the Keftiu, has that been identified?- and then suddenly they disappeared. Here there are Minoans dressed just like they are in their home town bringing the same pottery, and then suddenly no more of them. And the Egyptians had, as you know, the legend of Atlantis. Now I've been particularly asked not to go into the legend of Atlantis and Thera because it's old hat for so many people here, so there goes another one of my lectures.- This is Knossos, the bull is connected with the various legends of Theseus.- These people have a quite distinctive way of dressing and distinctive ...

Yet another Atlantis book, using Plato, myth and ideas of geological catastrophe to pinpoint the whereabouts of the mythical lost city. This one also uses the catastrophic crustal displacement theories of Charles Hapgood and concludes that there was indeed a race of intelligent seafarers about 12,000 years ago - and the reason no evidence has yet been found is that it is hidden under the ice in Antarctica. Doomsday is ...

66. Ancient Astronauts, Cosmic Collisions and Other Popular Theories about Man's Past (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... among the general public. Ancient Astronauts, Cosmic Collisions and Other Popular Theories about Man's Past (Buffalo: Prometheus Books, 1984, 217 pp.) is written by W. H. Stiebing, Jr., associate professor of history at the University of New Orleans. The popular concepts dealt with are the universality of the deluge, Atlantis, cosmic catastrophism, ancient astronauts, the mysteries of the pyramids, and early voyages to the Americas. A final chapter summarizes some elements common to all of the above theories. In this chapter Stiebing cites the poor nature of the evidence: simple answers to complex problems and a pervasive anti-establishment rhetoric are examples. The author goes on ...
67. The Garden, the Fall and the Restoration [Articles]
... is known as myth and which plays a vital part in the dialogues. As truth is to be apprehended by the process combining reason and intuition, so Plato expresses it in a form that must be classed as a combination of logos and mythos. Of the explicitly catastrophist references in Plato, by far the most notorious is the myth of Atlantis, adumbrated at the outset of the Timaeus and told at length in the unfinished dialogue Critias. Some 9000 years before Plato's time, coincident with the period given in the previous talk as the great flooding at the end of the Pleistocene, some 9000 years before Plato's time, the story goes, the greatest world power was Atlantis, ...

... Salibi Jonathan Cape 1985 This book has been dismissed as anti-Zionist propaganda and many refuse to read it given its central tenet that the actual geographical location of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah was in the area of south-west Arabia known as Asir. However, if there were no delicate political situation and this was simply another book about the location of Atlantis, then a serious consideration of Salibi's text might reveal that his descriptions of the supposed locations of biblical events are actually a terrestrialisation of the themes and images of Talbott's Polar Configuration myth. For those who do not believe the Bible is 100% historical fact this is an opportunity to investigate how much is related to the myths and legends ...
69. Volcanism And Catastrophic Mythology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... began in 1939 with Professor Marinatos. He postulated that the gigantic eruption of the Thera volcano, which involved a caldera collapse, was directly responsible for the destruction of the Minoan civilisation on Crete in the Bronze Age. This has led to further speculation by Galanopoulos and others that this supposed destruction of Crete could have been the source of the Atlantis story and, further, that the plagues of Egypt and the deluge of Deukalion could refer to the same catastrophic event. At first sight the enormous range of damage which can be inflicted by an active volcano might seem more than sufficient for a catastrophic mythology. The most common view of volcanic lava flows destroying everything in their path is ...

... to sell more copies, and sometimes a genuine but over-enthusiastic commitment to a particular point of view. Readers may be able to suggest some candidates for the former category, whereas the books of Colin Wilson are amongst those which provide clear evidence of the latter. So, for example, right at the beginning of his 1997 work, From Atlantis to the Sphinx, Wilson revealed his gullibility when he claimed that Rand and Rose Flem-Ath's When the Sky Fell (see C&CR 1996:2 , pp. 54-55) solves the problem of the present whereabouts of Atlantis', and he then indicated his leaning towards the irrational by referring to the synchronicities' which he believed had ...

72. Legends and Scripture [Books] [de Grazia books]
... are the seven sources of the difficulties of the fables..." One of many debts that we owe to Plato is his respect for myth and legend. He, too, fulminated at those who dismissed or, worse, corrupted history by their misuse of legends. In my skeptically minded exploration of the story of the destruction of Atlantis, the attitude of Plato mitigated my doubts. Plato goes out of his way to insist that the story be taken seriously, despite its prehistoric origins. Critias, his protagonist, is given to claim repeatedly that he heard and learned the story from his grandfather as a true and exact account. Significantly, to a modern mnemologist, ...
73. A Reply To Isaacson [Journals] [Kronos]
... revised chronology by Mr. Isaacson a year ago. At that time, I conceded the point in private and later, at the Velikovsky Symposium in Hamilton, Ontario, made a public statement expressing my agreement with Mr. Isaacson's alert observation. I should only like to add a few remarks on the subject of Crete, Thera, and Atlantis as a kind of supplement/correction to my earlier article on "Atlantis" which was published in the Winter 1973-74 issue of Pensee. It would appear that if there were any truth to the Atlantis story as recounted by Plato, we are most likely dealing with a garbled pastiche of more than one event (see the satirical note ...
