... and gives 28,800 or 28,173.6 . Jane Sellars [17], using numbers derived from the Osiris myth in the Pyramid Texts, gives 25,920 (12 2160). Whether or not it is fanciful, or just playing with numbers', the figure 2160 or multiples of it appear in Norse and Chinese myths, Berossus, Sumer, Maya, Indonesia, India, the Cabala etc. Hamlet's Mill [18] postulated a 6,000 BC civilisation which understood these numbers and encoded them in myth. 2160 20 = 43,200. The earth's equatorial circumference, 24,902.45 miles 43,200 = .5764 mls ...
242. Letopolis: city of the thunderbolt (Report) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... at Letopolis between thunderbolts and mice. He may even have got mixed up with mention of a bow', as a comet or bright meteor might actually have taken the shape of a bow arched across the sky. Bows are used to fire arrows - missiles such as thunderbolts. According to a Daily Mail newspaper article in April 2001, Chinese sources mention stars falling from the sky' in the time of Sennacherib (or roughly at that time). Velikovsky mentioned something like this in Worlds in Collision. This brings us back to Letopolis. Why was the unassuming shrewmouse its sacred animal and what did it have to do with thunderbolts ? It has often been said there was ...
243. Independent Confirmation of a Catastrophic Event [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , and PK to this effect. It follows that the present day Prabhasa, popularly identified with Somanatha, was not the original site of ancient Prabhasa. Archaeological investigations at the ancient site, (near 23.5N, 71.5E), should lead to interesting new information. ' In an interesting snippet, Iyengar quotes from a Chinese account of a pilgrim, Yuan Chwang, who visited that region in AD 629-645 and described the Pit of Descent', which was then still visible. Review by Moe Mandelkehr I will start with a story. A long, long time ago in the Old West of the US, a man came riding into a dingy little town ...

... a small portion of the human race survived. Clinias: Everyone would regard such accounts as perfectly credible." Plato, Laws, Vol. 1, Book III transl. R. G. Bury (Cambridge, Mass., 1926), pp. 167-173 "A significant legend recounted by [Ignatius] Donnelly was that of the Chinese astronomers were said to have reported that following the deluge, the moon, sun, and stars were seen to rise and set in new locations, on the horizon. Only a change in the Earth's axis would have produced this effect, and it is very unlikely that a primitive people would have dreamed up this legend if it had ...
245. Phobos And Deimos [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... discussed this same possibility in his article on "Catastrophism and Puritan Thought: The Newton Era," in Symposium on Creation VI (1977), pages 57-90. On page 80 of that article McDowell gave credit to me for the idea of using one-tenth of a day as the time unit, and he then proceeded to assemble evidence from Chinese sources that such a unit might indeed have been used. But McDowell did not explain that the main reason for my suggestion was that both the inner satellite and the outer satellite would come out right if this unit of one-tenth of a day were used. McDowell did quote me as having said that Phobos would emerge with a period of ...

... of immense floods as a reality, based on Whiston's work.4 Stephen Jay Gould claims that Cuvier . . . does argue for a worldwide flood some five thousand years ago, and he does cite the Bible as support. But his thirty-page discussion is a literary and ethnographic compendium of all traditions [of the flood] from Chaldean to Chinese."5 Henry H. Howorth presented a 51-page compendium of the flood traditions in his monumental book, The Mammoth and the Flood, which claims there are: "Traditions of the flood [come from] Egyptian tradition-Double version of the flood story in the Bible-Similar story [the Gilgamish Epic] from the clay tablets of Mesopotamia and ...
248. Chapter 13 Scythian Princes in the Royal Tombs of Ur [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Royal Cemetery at Ur, lends strong support to Heinsohn's thesis that both Scythian men and women were buried in the royal tombs at Ur. Nowhere else in so-called Sumerian civilization were important women buried with sacrificial victims, rich adornments and artefacts. But this is just how important women were buried by the Scythians. Cardona states, talking first about Chinese graves which he feels are more likely to be called similar to the Royal Graves at Ur: "Needless to say, these [burial] similarities are merely superficial. We are comparing two entirely different peoples who only exhibited a certain amount of similarity in the manner in which they buried their royal personages. The actual construction of the ...

... respectful of state boundaries. Maybe this is something of an exaggeration but the impression is there. In Heinsohn's ancient world, this imperial progress over 3000 years seems to be compressed into little over 1000 years and is transformed into a ferment of development and ideas travelling freely across frontiers, with Egyptians, Greeks, Assyrians and the under-rated Persians, Chinese and Indians all contributing and learning from one another. No doubt the Rumanians and others were also involved, even if they didn't leave us as many books about it. If we think about the 1000 years of development which have led to the present day, the picture is familiar: from Marco Polo's import of Chinese knowledge and ideas ...

... Innisfree, Highsted valley, Sittingbourne, Kent ME9 0AD, UK, as the sooner we know the numbers of those attending the easier becomes the administration. Please note that rooms are mostly singles but there are a few doubles at no extra cost, so state if these are required. Preference will obviously be given to early bookings. Uncalibrated Chinese history Catastrophism and Ancient History Newsletter October 1991 Jesse Lasken notes that traditional Chinese literary sources are confirmed by uncalibrated C14 dates which raises questions as to the world-wide validity of the Bristlecone Pine calibrations and the dubious nature of the European Oak dendrochronologies. \cdrom\pubs\journals\workshop\w1992no1\02news.htm ...
