... , such as Epicurus, Origen, Plutarch, Lucretius, Philo of Alexandria, and Plato believed that their ancestors were superior to themselves. It is now recognized that during some periods this belief had a foundation in fact: the European civilization of 600 years ago, for example, was in many ways more primitive than the Near Eastern, Chinese, Indian, and Meso-American cultures of centuries earlier. Velikovsky was fascinated by the ingenuity and acumen of the ancients: in an unpublished manuscript titled Shamir*, he cites evidence that radioactive material, hypnosis, and atmospheric electricity were understood and used millennia ago. He respected what ancient peoples conveyed to us about their experiences: if they ...

... builders of the international space station have been warned that it could be crippled by a ferocious meteor storm and one might occur in 3 or 4 years time. During such a storm meteors occur at up to 10,000 times the normal rate and the events happen several times a century as Earth passes through a particularly active meteor stream EVOLUTION Chinese puzzle Earthwatch Magazine July/August 1995, p. 7 Dinosaur nest sites in southeast China, when compared to fossil sites in North America supposed to be contemporaneous, provide a couple of problems for palaeontologists.

... 000 years ago (i .e ., when they reached Japan). The First Americans It is worth reconsidering the TV documentary Ancient Voices: The Hunt for the First Americans [2 ] in the light of recent correspondence. David Eccott [3 ] is undoubtedly correct to point out that African Negritos were an important component of South Chinese populations' and that a distinct pattern in mitochondrial DNA (mcDNA) from eastern Africa and Asia continues towards the Pacific Islands'. However, the question is whether this pattern reached the Americas and Sykes (see above) would seem to suggest not; the Polynesians visited but left no genetic imprint on that continent. The transcript of ...

... now detecting such sized objects, but really it's not an active, ongoing business. Much of my talk is actually about meteoroids between Tsunguskas and meteors. And they're objects with masses of the order 106, 108, 1010 grams. These are the objects which produce what I call fireballs in the atmosphere, and I showed you that the Chinese were recording these large meteoroids, fireballs, down the centuries, and it was they that dramatically changed in numbers as the years went by. You must not get the impression that we in Europe were unaware of fireballs. The fact is, we just didn't have an organized observatory, anywhere, doing the job, so we weren't ...

... of civilization as we know it. In addition I must say why I find usual objections to this idea. unconvincing. First, the ubiquity of the myths is itself a powerful argument for granting them some sort of historical basis. As folklorists have known for some time, not only the ancient Hebrews and Greeks, but the Hindus, Chinese, Amerindians, native Australians and Africans all believed in an original paradise. Paradise mythology is so pervasive, and is so central to the religious mythology of the vast preponderance of ancient peoples, that historian of religion Mircea Eliade considers nostalgia for paradise to be at the very core of humankind's spiritual impulse: for the shaman as for the ...

These structures are deeply enshrined in a thick cypress grove, reminding the visitor of the custom which formerly prevailed among the heathen nations of the Old Testament, and of the solemn shade which surrounded some celebrated temples of ancient Greece." The Temple of Heaven is thus described: "The south altar, the most important of all Chinese religious structures, has the following dimensions: It consists of a triple circular terrace, 210 feet wide at the base, 150 in the middle, and 90 at the top. In these, notice the multiples of three: 3 x 3= 9, 3 x5 = 15, 3 x 7 = 21. The heights of ...

... phrases "Arcturus with his sons" and "the bands of Orion". There exists amongst the Pygmies of the Éfé tribe a tradition that calls Saturn "the star of nine moons" (45). The Maori also possess considerable astronomical knowledge, including that of a planet that wears a circlet or headband (46). The Chinese records tell of Saturn as "génie du pivot" (47), which connotation implies that the property of having satellites was well known long before the time of Galileo. This should be taken in the light of the statement: Huang-ti established everywhere the order for the sun, the moon, and the stars." (48 ...

... dismiss the so-called Euhemerist' school of myth as nonsense. Herakles, like Theseus, Indra, Cuchulainn and a host of analogous figures, is a mythical hero, pure and simple. A telling clue is the fact that distant cultures report similar traditions about their legendary ancestors. As a case in point consider the example provided by the aboriginal Chinese hero Ma Yüan: In the traditions of the Chinese, at any rate, and probably also among the aborigines, no ancient hero could compare with Ma Yüan, the Wave Subduer of Later Han. His is a rich and persistent story .. . Ma Yüan deserved the epithet more than most. He conquered the water everywhere. ...

... beliefs, and the inculcation of unshakable fear.(11) The myths and legends of all peoples conclusively support this contention. An eighteenth century forerunner of Velikovsky, Nicolas-Antoine Boulanger (1722-1759), likewise "analyzed the cosmogonies and mythologies of several far-spread peoples of the Earth, such as Germans, Greeks, Jews, Arabs, Hindus, Chinese, Japanese, Peruvians, Mexicans, and Caribs, concluding that rites, ceremonials, and myths reflect the fact that the human race was subjected to a series of cosmic convulsions .. ."

... a golden age (the land of Dilmun). There is much further evidence supporting the identification of Ea/Enki with Kronos [15], one which is clear from the writings of the hellenistic Babylonian scholar Berossus [16]. Far away from the Mediterranean world altogether, we again find strikingly similar ideas about Saturn. According to Chinese myth, thousands of years before the historical First Emperor there reigned the Yellow Emperor (Huang-ti), who was said to have helped organise the universe itself: Huang-ti established everywhere the order for the sun, the moon and the stars'. The Yellow Emperor, while thought to have been an earthly king was also believed to be ...
