... Virginia to Oklahoma, the Newark "Holy Stones" and the discovery of Phoenician beads in a sealed context in Bolivia, the range and quantity of evidence for an alternative to the traditional view demands serious scientific attention. At the Newark conference, three invited researchers addressed this problem directly. Alban Wall detailed the use of Stonehenge as an astronomical calendar and drew comparisons with the earthwork complex at Newark. His discussion of the 19-year solar-lunar cycle and its measurement at Stonehenge appears in this issue. Dr. Robert Alrutz of Denison University presented a fascinating overview of the problem of the Newark "Holy Stones" and other early archaeological discoveries in the Newark area which bear particularly on the question ...

... riches might emerge! In the meantime the field is yours. WHITE, PETER: The Past is Human Angus & Robertson, 1974 (reprinted 1976). (RML) The Great Pyramid; the statues of Easter Island; the "Nazea Lines"; the building feats of Tiabuanaco; cave drawings in Africa and elsewhere, the Mayan calendar; the Piri Re'is Map: were these puzzling relics created by visitors from other worlds? Dr White is Senior Lecturer in Prehistory at the University of Sydney, and would be the last to claim that this highly readable book is written from a disinterested viewpoint. Examining these mysteries from the past, he provides answers rooted in archaeological orthodoxy ...
453. The Pleiades in Aboriginal Mythology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... On one visit to Earth, the Pleiades were frustrated in making their normal landfall, so they cried and cried.(16) Was the Earth tilted and was "crying" the rain of one of the floods, for, in Aboriginal lore, the Pleiades are associated both with rain and flood? In "The Pleiades in Primitive Calendars", a chapter in The Golden Bough, it says, inter alia: "Primitive peoples have commonly timed the various operations of the agricultural year by observation of its [the Pleiades] heliacal rising or setting. .. . Great attention has also been given to these stars by savages in the Southern Hemisphere who do not till ...
454. The Use of the 7-Base Measuring System in Ancient Britain and the Continent [Journals] [Aeon]
... the figures and the tables presented in this study demonstrate. This clearly disproves the oft-expressed opinion that "the Aubrey Holes were overgrown and forgotten by the time the central megaliths were emplaced." In various earlier papers I have presented detailed exposition which integrate the elements from every construction period at Stonehenge, demonstrating that the monument served as an operational calendar device that perfectly reconciled Sun and Moon over the 19-year Metonic cycle. The present revelation concerning the geometric and mensural integration of the entire structure now adds confirmation and support to that thesis. It is thus my firm belief that the lengths of the time spans said to separate the various building phases at Stonehenge are in need of serious re-examination ...
455. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... which first appeared (in a somewhat different form in our second Newsletter. The compliment is returned in this issue of the Review with Professor (Greenberg's valuable paper, first published in this same issue of Kronos. Other major articles in the issue are David Griffard's Psychology and Ancient Astronomical Discovery and Ronald D. Long's Re-examination of the "Sothic Calendar". Taking his lead from Marshack, Griffard presents an extensively documented and provocative study of prehistoric cultures of the world, whose strong astronomical tradition fits poorly (up to the 7th century BC) with uniformitarian views or the learning models of behavioural science. Long's authoritative paper, reprinted from Orientalia 43 (1974), surveys the history ...
456. 2nd SIS Cambridge Conference Abstracts [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... development of human civilization. 17:30 Dr Bas van Geel, University of Amsterdam and Dr Hans Renssen, University of Utrecht The Impact of Abrupt Climate Change Around 2650 BP in NW-europe, Evidence for Climatic Teleconnections, and a Tentative Explanation A sudden and sharp rise in the 14C-content of the atmosphere, which occurred between ca 850 and 760 calendar years BC (ca 2750-2450 BP on the radiocarbon time scale), was contemporaneous with an abrupt climate change. In NW-Europe (as indicated by palaeoecological and geological evidence) climate changed from relatively warm and continental to oceanic (cooler and wetter). Archaeological and palaeoecological evidence for the abandonment of low-lying areas at the Bronze Age/Iron ...
457. Society News. C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... gave way to the possibility that the Exodus was an account of the same catastrophe as the Flood. There were many parallels between the two and much of the supposed Continued from p. 56 historical time between them could have been could have been a creation. Janek discussed the changes in numbers of days in the year as shown by ancient calendars and their association with cosmic catastrophes causing floods and pole shifts. There was much evidence to associate Venus with all this mayhem and Janek also suggested that some literary references were to massive geological and evolutionary changes at the same time. Question time was lively and even led to a discussion of AD dating modifications. It was plain that Janek's ...
458. Whirlpools and Whirlwinds [Books]
... fingers indicate that the idea of sacrifice was not unknown to them. The early agriculturists, who discovered the cardinal points and connected them with the seasons, had, however, a wider range of vision than the early hunters. Their mode of life, as has been emphasized, made it necessary that they should measure time. When their Calendar was introduced, it was first connected with the moon and stars, and it was subsequently connected with the sun. The heavenly bodies not only measured time for the agriculturists, but appeared also to exercise a very intimate influence on plant life and on the supply of water as nourishment for crops. The belief consequently arose that life was ...

... even the Flood of Noah. Perhaps Damu, Adam, Adonis, and event Dummuzi are the same.11 The Garden of Eden narrative had two components: one represented the element of immortality, and the other described a change of climate from a paradise to one with strife. Hurrian Names Appear The Ebla tablets mention Hurrian names in their calendar.12 Besides the West Semitic people and the Sumerians, therefore, Hurrians also lived in the area. There are no Hattians (pre-Indo-European Anatolians) in the record. Perhaps not enough of the tablets have been translated. The presence of Hurrians in the tablets could show a connection between themselves and the Carians. Sipish Velikovsky has claimed ...
