... we see, it is said in their old tales' [21]. Evidence pointing to the same conclusion can also be obtained from a study of ancient language. In the hieroglyphic language of Egypt, the following sign served to determine the ancient sun-god - q. The same sign was used to identify the sun' in the earliest Chinese script. This is the very sign which predominates in Neolithic rock art - yet who would draw this image when attempting to represent the current sun? According to the Saturn theory, this sign constitutes an objective record of the ancient sun-god's primeval appearance. Universal traditions of the all-seeing Eye' of the sun-god take on a new significance given ...

... especially the death of a king." The memory of the comet is well preserved in the song of German schoolchildren in the time of Martin Luther- [These] things a comet brings .. . Storm, plague, famine, death of kings, War, earthquake, flood, and upheaval. A drawing of a comet in the Chinese cometary atlas from the tomb at Mawangdui is accompanied by the simple statement: "There will be deaths of kings." The Chinese Record of the World Changes, by Li Ch'un Feng, (602-667 AD) warns of dire consequences: "When a comet travels into the Constellation Taurus... within three years the emperor dies ...
... He was thousand-headed, thousand-eyed, thousand-footed', the last reference being to the satellite's fast movement. He had encircled the world on all sides, and exceeded it even by ten finger-breadths'. Out of Purusha's head was made the sky, out of his body the air, and out of his feet the Earth. According to a Chinese myth, the Earth with its different features was formed out of the various parts of the body of P'an-ku, the Pre-existing Being, millions of years ago. In the cosmogony of the Manichaeans the Spirit of Life; the helper of the Primal Man, captured the evil, rebellious Archontes, or Rulers of the World, flayed them ...
364. The origin of the sacred 260 day calendar of the early Mesoamerican civilisations: a hypothesis [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of 20 days plus 5 extra days which did not count and were thought to be unlucky. The 360day year also survives in the Long Count system of tuns' of 360 days. Incidences of a 360 day year are not hard to find elsewhere around the ancient world. Examples include the following, after Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision: The Chinese mathematicians are known to have based their geometry, as we do, on a 360 degree circle based on the annual movement of the sun, and to have then tried to modify the geometry to accommodate the 365 25 days of the current year. In the Middle East. the Chaldeans of the NeoBabylonian empire, experts in astronomy in ...
365. The Area of Origin [Books]
... of the Aryan race. It is found, in fact, among all the peoples of the Indo-European branch, whilst it is completely absent among the Egyptians, the Chaldaens, the Assyrians, and even the Phoenicians, although these latter were not very scrupulous in borrowing the ornaments and symbols of their neighbours. As for the Tibetans, the Chinese and the Japanese, amongst whom it is neither less frequent nor less venerated, it is not difficult to prove that it must have come to them, with Buddhism, from India. In the extreme East, the origin of the gammadion can be traced without difficulty to the swastika of India (Ibid. p.79.) ...

... optical companion stars orbiting millisecond pulsars. Only two other such systems are known. Three of the companions are among the coolest and oldest white dwarf stars known." [Italics added] The Crab Pulsar The "Crab Nebula" (M1) is a cloud of gas (plasma) that is the remnant of a nova explosion seen by Chinese astronomers. Lying at the center of the nebula is a pulsar - a star called CM Tauri. The frequency of repetition of the pulsar's output is 30 pulses per second. The length of each "flash", however, is approximately 1/1000 sec., one millisecond! The obvious question to ask next is: Is ...
367. New Frontiers on the Stability of the Solar System [Articles]
... think myself that catastrophism is something that the Establishment has to live with now and they are beginning to get to the third stage with regard to that, namely "of course, we've always known this". You have to remember in fact that it's comparatively recently that Western science has accepted that stones can fall from the sky. The Chinese were well aware of this hundreds of years before Western astronomers were finally forced to change their pig-headed attitude where they said they would rather believe that a town mayor and town council and most of the leading citizens were telling lies when they said they had witnessed the fall of a meteorite from space, rather than believe that stones fall from ...
368. Magnetism and Axial Tilts [Books] [de Grazia books]
... changes have occurred. A few years ago, Mesoamerican civilization was considered recent and crude. Today the view has changed and the same respect is given the early Mesoamerican as is accorded to other world civilizations. In 1976, a lodestone compass was claimed for the Olmec civilization at 1000 B.C . or earlier, before the earliest demonstrable Chinese compass. In this case, it cannot be argued that the Mesoamerican were incapable of planning their settlements and public buildings with accurate reference to north or any other cardinal point. In a letter describing a study trip to Central America, Patrick Julig writes:[37]. .. . I observed changes in the orientation of the ...

... BC in China. Again, the dating of the calendar has been ascertained by the positions of the various constellations near the horizon as determined by the Earth's precession retrojected back to that time [46]. The star charts in the four cultures were apparently not derived from a single source. In particular, the Indian naksatra calendar and the Chinese hsui calendar are structured on the appearance of the full moon (based on the opposition of the sun), and are entirely different in this respect from the Near Eastern solar calendars, which are heliacal (based on the first rising of a star or constellation at the time of the Sun rising or setting). A derivation of ...
