... to highly refined dating questions. Currently it is fair to say that, for anything earlier than the present millennium, there is no good understanding of the causes of the various environmental downturns noted in the tree-ring records. In 1984 Val LaMarche and Kathy Hirschboeck pointed out a severe frost ring in their Californian bristlecone pine tree-ring record relating to the calendar year 1627 BC. Their suggestion that this frost event might have been due to the eruption of the Santorini volcano in the Aegean is still a source of active debate.

442. Sandal-straps and Semiology [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of ancient artifacts. That the ancient vulva had religious significance as great as that of the Christian heart is relatively certain. An abstract of a recent article reads "A carved limestone object found in the East Gravettian [Upper Paleolithic] site at Bodrogkeresztur, Hungary, has been identified as a uterus symbol. It may also be a lunar calendar"[4 ]. Lunar signifies Aphrodite the goddess of love in later times and also the Mother-God and Mother-Earth. What can we do but to explain what every scholar in a sense already knows: the eternal vulva, origin of life and source of affection, was simply inverted by Christian thought, into the more abstractly identified heart ...

... fixed. (a ) Babylonia. "On the 26th day of the month Siwan in the seventh year the day was turned to night. Heaven in flames." The century of the occurrence is still a matter of debate. Fotheringham chose 1062 B.C . There can be no solar eclipse on the 26th day of a lunar calendar month. Kugler explains the phenomenon: The Earth was going through an immense train of small, dust-like, and also large meteorites. The meteoric dust created darkness; the larger meteorites became incandescent through friction in the atmosphere and put the sky in flames. (Sternkunde und Sterndienst in Babel, 11, 2, 373 n.) ...

446. Notes on this issue: Pensee IVR X [Journals] [Pensee]
... category defined (and ridiculed) by one lunar scientist as follows: "There must be something about the Moon which causes astronomers and others to suffer severe attacks of imagination." With this issue we introduce "Scientifically Speaking," a regular column by Prof. Irving Michelson (p . 50). His inaugural essay deals with matters calendarical: noting the uncanny accuracy with which certain astronomical periods can be ascertained (and were ascertained in the past), he wonders how this can be so if these motions were in fact disturbed during historical times. This issue also marks the conclusion of Pensee's ten-issue series, "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered." Readers curious about the future directions ...

448. Catastrophe: An Investigation Into The Origins Of The Modern World (Book Review) [Journals] [Aeon]
... snows in winter, and unripened fruits that withered on the vines. All bemoaned the distress of the times. The Javanese author and poet, Ranggawarsita III, from a familial legacy of generations of authors and poets, compiled The Book of Ancient Kings in the nineteenth century, the 1869 manuscript portion of which describes an event in the Shaka calendar of tremendous thunder, furious earthquakes, tornadic winds, and torrential rain that ripped apart the once integral island of Java-Sumatra, the mountains and plains of which sank into the sea. A later version written in the 1880s is descriptively colored by the 1883 modern eruption of Krakatoa. Chinese annals of the earlier period also speak of distant thunder ...
449. The Two Faces of Love [Books] [de Grazia books]
... attributed female gender for several reasons that can be touched upon only briefly here. A matriarchal system may have come into being at times and the Moon was deemed female. Or the rough coincidence of the normal menstrual period of women and the cycle of lunar phases - 28 days, 36 days and perhaps other periods as well, in various calendar ages - could have produced numerous speculations, "confirmations," institutional and ritual tags for the measure of time and religious behaviors. The Moon would thus become female because of its behavior according to the menstrual cycle? Yet, we think, could not a male Moon have commanded and ordered the menstrual cycle, according to the mythmaking ...

... eventually a world in which evil has been defeated is established. Chapter 1 is a good overview of Zoroastrianism and its influence on Judaism and Christianity. Elsewhere she looks at Egyptian beliefs, Roman and Greek ideas and the influence of the Jewish faith. For example she says the Book of Jubilees was written with a knowledge of Babylonian astrology and calendars. Her range and remit is wide. She takes in Ezekiel, a visionary, expectations of the Messiah, Apocalyptic writings, the Book of Daniel, Qumran and the Essenes, Early Christian ideas, Augustine, heresies, Signs of the End, Ezra, Enoch, Signs of Fire, Signs in History, outbreaks of the plague ...
