402. More Myths, Monuments, and Mnemonics: A solstice visit to Machu Picchu [Journals] [Horus]
... peak to the north, Huayna Picchu, also was topped with temple construction and was apparently an integral part of this mysterious, sacred citadel. Machu Picchu is said to have been a sanctuary where the sacred "Chosen Women" or "Virgins of the Sun" performed religious duties and important ceremonies connected with the annual cycles in their astronomical calendar. Here there are two structures in particular which have attracted the attention of archaeoastronomers. One is the famous Intihuatana, the "hitching post of the Sun," and the Torreon where, inside a room with a smoothly curved wall along one corner, a large altar carved from natural rock occupies a large part of the floor space ...
403. Flawed Search [Journals] [Kronos]
... the Thoms will be the most familiar, and their chapter on stone circles and menhirs follows. Thom's eminence in the field is largely based on the accuracy of his measurements and the precision of his analysis. Recent papers and reviews have, however, cast doubt on some of his figures, with serious results for his megalithic yard and megalithic calendar (Moir et al. Antiquity LIV, 3743, 1980). Misidentification of archaeological monuments has resulted in Thom's describing hut circles and enclosures as stone circles of megalithic type, and some of the lines of foresight suggested for certain sites are shown in the field to be below horizon level, difficult to see without binoculars or blocked by ...

405. Preface (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... the chronicles of two the very last-series of such catastrophes, those that visited our earth in the second and first millennia before the present era. Since these upheavals occurred in historical times, when the art of writing had already been perfected in the centres of ancient civilization, I described them mainly from historical documents, relying on celestial charts, calendars, and sundials and water clocks discovered by archaeologists, and drawing also upon classical literature, the sacred literature of East and West, the epics of the northern races, and the oral traditions of primitive peoples from Lapland to the South Seas. Geological vestiges of the events narrated in documents and traditions were indicated only here and there, ...

... was interested. Kallen wrote: May 23, 1946 Dear Shapley: Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky tells me that he has hinted to you his remarkable theories regarding changes in the structure of the solar system during historical times and the evidence for those changes which he has found in the religious and other literature of the world and in the changes of calendars in areas as far apart as Mexico and Egypt. He tells me also that one crucial point of his theory involves the content of the atmosphere of Venus which, if his theory is valid, would show petroleum gases, and he has suggested to you a spectroscopic analysis of the atmosphere of Venus for those gases. I have just ...
407. Squaring the Circle -- An Esoteric Tradition? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the finer details were subject to a more esoteric tradition. An example of this is seen in the calendrical problem of the length of the solar year. For the general populace this was taken as 365 1/4 days, whereas it is clear from the intercalation in the Metonian system used by the Babylonians and which underlies the present Jewish calendar that a much more accurate figure was known to the experts. In a previous article [2 ] I have shown that with regard to p such knowledge may well have existed. Further investigations seem to reinforce this belief, which I present here. Gematria, Qere, and Ketib Before we can examine the evidence it is necessary to ...
408. Aftermath of the Trojan War [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Thales, one of the first Greek philosophers, went from Boeotia to Miletus in that colonization. Augustine[29] made Thales a contemporary of Romulus, who lived 754-715. The Eusebius-Hieronymus chronicle mentions Thales at years 747 and 640 and puts his death in 547. Velikovsky[30] describes a connection between the tradition that Thales constructed a calendar and the cosmic catastrophes caused by the planet Mars. We should think of 710, the Hezekiah catastrophe, for now there is a lack of evidence for later catastrophes. Thales obviously lived c. 700. The tradition[31] of his prediction of the solar eclipse that occurred during the war between Alyattes of Lydia and Cyaxares of ...
409. Society News: SIS Autumn Conference 2000 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... myth? All attempts to construct an accurate account of AD history were doomed to failure if we continue to count years forward from unproven dates in the past, such as the birth of a deity. The only accurate way to reconstruct history is by counting backwards from the present. Whelton suggested that all dates prior to 1582, the Gregorian calendar reform, must be considered suspect until proven valid. If we count backwards, Dark Ages are not allowed unless firmly proven by physical evidence and, since we must proceed step by step, year by year, there is nothing that impels us to assume that imaginary years existed. Whelton ended by calling for a new system of dating ...
410. Book Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... seems to have seen a month' as anything but an administrative period, unrelated to actual lunar phenomena. He is a Uniformitarian at heart and he seemingly never gave a thought to the great leap which was eventually made by Velikovsky, who reasoned that something more than a mere astrological conceit would be needed to justify a fundamental revision of the calendar. Del Mar also assumes that the duodecimal system (12 hours to the day, 12 months to the year, etc.) derives entirely from the approximate 12 year orbital period of Jupiter (but, if so, what did the ancients make of Jupiter's periodic retrograde motions? There are very nearly 11 of these in a 12 ...
