Out of this intersection between phonology and human society there developed a conviction that the ...

... the creation the Sun, Moon and all other planets were on the beginning point of the Asvins, a fixed point on the sidereal sphere. At the end of the creation, all these heavenly bodies come again on the point of their start along with their apsides and nodes." [40] Last but not least, the ancient Chinese harboured very similar beliefs about the relationship between the positions of the planets, time, and the fate of the cosmos. Sima Qian, a Chinese astrologer, explicitly linked the conjunction of planets with the change of governments: "When the five planets consort, this is a change of phase: the possessor of virtue receives felicitations, ...

... of contacts between ancient peoples are still largely relegated to the realms of science fiction by establishment historians, more and more evidence for such contacts continues to surface and has direct bearing on theories of reconstructing ancient history. Our speakers gave us the results of serious study and research which cannot be lightly dismissed. Steve Mitchell, with some knowledge of Chinese script, was flabbergasted to see an Egyptian papyrus in the British Museum which looked to him like Chinese, although it was labelled Ancient Hieratic' from around 1900BC. Further, both scripts were read right to left. Steve made a more detailed comparison between the two types of script and their development. Both moved from incised script on ...

... been said that though God cannot alter the past, historians can." (133) In the spring of 1987, The Skeptical Inquirer presented a critique of Velikovsky's historical research respecting ancient China by Henrietta Lo, a reference librarian at Meriam Library, at California State University, at Chico. Ms. Lo has examined the historical documentation of Chinese history and has attempted to employ it to illustrate her contention that Velikovsky's catastrophic scenario is contradicted by this evidence. This would indeed, be a serious blow to Velikovsky's historical reconstruction of the past if Lo's case were solidly based. Unfortunately, Lo's research is so desperately ignorant, inadequate, sloppy and laden with errors that its value is ...
