... a prime wall location! In Meton's name, of course. That will impress the watchtowers and astrological societies- their President in Gold Letters! He has authorized me to give them all free tickets to the Olympic Games. But not to that barbarian who had the gall to write him, "Meton, stop reinventing the wheel. The Chinese have used your cycle for 100 years, and even the seven intercalations." Not to mention that anonymity from Egypt who sent him a tablet with just the obscenity "F " inscribed on it. Tablet L. The gold letters are staying up, but the opposition is too strong. Meton's calendar will not be adopted after all ...
... which still filled the lowest depressions of the ancient sea-bottom. In the end, probably, many of the rivers never reached them. So they wasted away into saline swamps and salt deserts. A great desiccation began, at first gradually, and then with increasing rapidity. It has left us Han-hai, the Sea of Sand, as the Chinese, in a marvellously plastic name, call the Gobi Desert. We can imagine the amazement of the peoples clustered on the fringes of the Mediasiatic as they watched their Sea go back from their harbours and their shores. Slowly they followed it, and generation after generation found life harder. They left their cities, sank into primitive ways ...

324. The Demands of the Saturnian Configuration Theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... where yom, normally taken to mean day', has the additional meanings of year' and time' [15]. Similarly in Egypt the word thera, which means year', also means time' [16]. Even Macrobius spoke of a primordial period of chaos during which no time existed' [17]. The Chinese Compendium of Wong-shi-Shing tells of the age during which the day and night had not yet been divided' [18]. I could go on supplying records but this is not the place. All I wish to stress is that the first demand raised by our interpretation of the mytho-historical record is actually met by that record. Thus the ...

326. HORUScope [Journals] [Horus]
... . But the combined testimony of ancient people seems far more committed to natural upheavals (in their perception, "supernatural") in the heavens as the cause of this chaos - world floods, sunken continents, shifts in the celestial poles, and many other common themes of disaster -or catastrophe- that are preserved from the past. The Chinese understanding of the "Ching Hsing" was that it was a natural phenomenon and the beliefs of Mesoamerica regarding Venus were attributed to the behavior of the planet itself. HORUS is calling attention to ancient humanity's common testimony about natural celestial chaos - and this lies so engrained in collective human memory - in myth and legend, in symbols, ...

328. Second SIS Cambridge Conference Report [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... the year 2345 BC, associated with identified tephra from the Icelandic Hekla 4 volcano, dated to 2310 20 BC. This suggests a volcanic origin of the c.2350 BC event identified by Courty, but the period in question is also associated with other events, including floods, the creation of new lakes and even the traditional start of Chinese history! In Baillie's words, 2345 BC "is a classic marker date, i.e . a date which will show up on a regular basis in studies of various kinds." In this instance, as indeed at other times (e .g . 1628 BC, 1159 BC, 208 BC and 540 AD), ...

... could not... Discussion Part B: Franz Xavier Kugler (1862-1929), a Jesuit priest who devoted much of his life to the study of cuneiform astronomical texts, ultimately reached the conclusion that most of these ancient tablets reflected actual observations and were not, as many other philologists had adduced, nonsensical. Discussion Part C: The Chinese Classics (1960 ed.), translated by James Legge, are an excellent source of astro-myth, particularly volumes III and IV (The Shoo King and The She King). Legge's translation of these ancient texts is biased toward a gradualist interpretation. Discussion Part D: Interestingly: "A curious phenomenon occurred at the farm of Balvullich ...

... by the greenhouse effect. The warming has gone on in the southern hemisphere but industrial pollution has had the opposite effect in the northern hemisphere. And Another Catastrophic Find!sources: New Scientist 29.10.87, p.25; New Scientist 12.11.87, pp.28-29 There is a report that Canadian and Chinese palaeontologists working in the Gobi Desert have come upon a veritable dinosaur treasure trove.
