... features a major review by Geoffrey Gammon on David Rohl's A Test of Time, a book which brings the New Chronology to a wider audience but has no proved highly controversial in SIS circles. No doubt Geoffrey's review will not be the last word on the matter in these pages. Another ex-SIS luminary, Peter James has a new book about Atlantis and this is reviewed by Trevor Palmer.

180. Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Earth in Upheaval [3 ] is mentioned several times re Lake Titicaca, fossils in volcanic ash, whale skeletons at high altitude, radio frequencies affected by Jupiter, the moon and earthquakes; Worlds in Collision [4 ] is cited once re world ages in the Sibylline Books but Velikovsky's theories are not mentioned or considered. Nor is the Atlantis story (myth or legend?) disucssed in detail, though at an early stage his researcher resigned, saying Hancock was looking for a lost continent which could not have existed. At a later stage, he received a letter from the Flem-Aths referring to Antarctica, the Ice-Ages and Hapgood's theory; their book [5 ] seemed to ...

... are dealing with universal myths which have been written into the local landscape. As an anthropologist he has had first hand experience of how people set myths into their own areas. I found it particularly refreshing to find this spelt out, as it is one of the most basic errors in the endless stream of books on the possible locations of Atlantis, the Garden of Eden, the Ark of the Covenant, the Treasures of Solomon, sacred mountains etc., including, of course, the places associated with Arthur's birth, castle of residence and various glorious battles. Neither of our authors has any doubt that Arthur is largely a mythological figure, dressed and accoutred by those who ...

... of Jupiter and Saturn, and explicitly to Jupiter's "Saturnian sections and bonds." Taylor wondered at this coincidence of modern scientific observation and ancient theology, and inferred that such theology must be "no less scientific than sublime." Is there another explanation of the coincidence? One might postulate an ancient civilization of a type advanced beyond Plato's Atlantis, which would have been thoroughly devastated but whose telescopes would have been unmatched until the nineteenth century. Only so advanced a culture could produce and systematically employ such a telescope. Paleo-anthropology and archaeology, overseen by the sociology of invention, do not admit of a specific technology that far exceeds the general level of its culture. Then, ...

Christopher Evans [104] explores modern religious cults, in particular the dianetics and scientology of L. Ron Hubbard. John Sladek surveys The New Apocrypha [373]: if science says one thing, the new Apocrypha state the reverse — thus Atlantis, Bacon's ciphers in Shakespeare's plays, homeopathy, Loch Ness, Nostradamus, perpetual motion, Velikovsky, Wilhelm Reich, Zen macrobiotics. Ronald Story [388] and Peter White [462] have exploded the fanciful and fancied "evidence" that early civilizations were influenced by intelligent extraterrestrial beings.

188. Did the Sea Peoples Come from Denmark? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... a giant named Grindel. The tale mentions that the Danes wore boar-crested helmets. This brought me back to the Sea Peoples fighting Ramses III. Among the enemies of Egypt were Denyen and others who wore boar-crested helmets. There is about 2000 years difference between Beowulf and Ramses III. I also remember that Jürgen Spanuth wrote a fascinating book called Atlantis of the North. In the book Spanuth showed a horned statue of a warrior that was found at Enkomi, in Cyprus. Not only does it have the horns, but also the northern felt headgear. Spanuth not only claims that the Sea Peoples were from the North, but that they were also the Atlanteans. An interesting small ...
189. When the Earth Nearly Died: Compelling Evidence of a Catastrophic World Change 9,500 BC [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... extant, with the conclusion that continents now far apart were once joined, but it is precisely this sort of evidence which plate tectonic theory explains so well. These authors are stuck with nineteenth century theories of land bridges which became submerged in a great flood, which gives the book a taint of less respectable theories of vanished continents such as Atlantis and Mu which it does not really deserve. Even worse, in this section I found two glaring errors of plant distribution and nomenclature, which left me wondering how many other references were suspect. Evidence for rapid mountain building, crustal displacements, climate and sea level changes and axial tilts is all very interesting and a good section on ...

191. The Sacred Mountain [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the central organizing principle of social culture and civilization through the agency of mythology. The rationale for this conclusion is long and tortuous. With the demise of Saturn the mountain emitted the Moon, which was contained therein, and collapsed. This event became the "Fall of Man," "Original Sin," "The Lost Continent of Atlantis," "The Invisible God," and Atlas, among other things. The image of the Polar configuration, including the mountain, was etched deeply into the psyche of man and the loss of its image was devastating, followed by the subsequent catastrophes described by Velikovsky. Images of the mountain were made to bring back the golden ...

... that Mayan inscriptions back up his theory that the rise and fall of world ages and civilisations coincide with sunspot cycles. Gilbert goes on to assess the evidence, presented in many previous books, for the early presence of Old World influence (including the ancient Egyptians) in Central America and for the theory that the survivors of the flooding of Atlantis founded the ancient civilisations of Central America. The title of the book concerns the Mayan prediction of the exact date for the end of the world - December 22nd, 2012 AD - but not by the currently popular meteoric impact, merely earthquakes. Michael Coe's book ends with the same prediction but his version has December 23rd and a flood ...

... crust of Earth to slide a small amount over the molten lava below but the effect on the vast rotating mass of matter below the crust would be negligible, so that it would quickly drag the crust back to its original rate of rotation. This view is supported by a similar idea expressed in When the Sky Fell: In Search of Atlantis by Rand & Rose Flem-Ath (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London, 1995) claiming that periodically (in terms of millions of years) the accumulation of ice at the poles causes a gyroscopic out-of-balance torque and the crust of Earth suddenly slides into a new position, so that when this happened there was a drastic climate change in as little ...

200. The Pyramid Age, by Emmet J Sweeney (Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... used throughout, and for centuries afterwards, because most people could not afford metal ones. In a short Epilogue, Sweeney introduces Velikovsky's ideas on catastrophism and its impact on chronology. Simultaneous experience of cosmic events, he says, explains the worldwide eras of megalith building, pyramid building, planet worship and climate change. He adds that the Atlantis legend is almost certainly linked to the Early Dynastic catastrophe event. In discussing his sources, he pays tribute to the work of Heinsohn on Mesopotamian chronology, without which it is doubtful if OK and MK Egyptian chronology would ever have been effectively challenged. ' He concludes his introduction by acknowledging that the reconstruction he is presenting is little more ...
