... become vaguer, but the cometary form would still be a dominant motif in the art and records of the previous generations... After thousands of years, the cometary symbol, whatever it was, might be wholly disconnected from its bizarre and awesome origins." (26) Comet shapes, or types, painted on silk from a Chinese Han Dynasty tomb. c. 168 B. C. They therefore ask if there are any widespread ancient celestial symbols that might indicate a rotating comet and tentatively suggest that the swastika, which they found scattered all over the ancient world, would fill the bill. (27) To clinch the matter, they finally point to an ...
... Persian system (to which must be added the slightly older Caucasus); it starts from the great east Pontic mountain system, strikes southeast, and has its head in Baluchistan. Farther east still is the huge remarkable system of south-eastern China, Burma, and Malaya, which starts from the Kuen-lun, and also strikes south-east (in its Chinese, Annamese, Sumatran, and Malayan parts), and has its head in the southern fingers of Celebes. (Cf. Diagram 15) Finally, in North America, we find the ranges of Lower California and Mexico, which extend from the great mountain systems of the western United States, strike south-east, and have their head ...

... . Sos may related to the root Scyth of Scythian, possibly to the semitic-hebrew sus, or horse, therefore giving straightforwardly to the word Hyksos' the meaning people of the horses, which would be a very good identification of their features. It is interesting to note also that the name People of the Horsemen' was the name the Chinese gave to the invading Mongols led by Genghis Khan (ref. Nuées d'orages sur la Chine, by Alexandra David Néel). It would be interesting to look at the Avarians' traditions concerning their past, if they have survived and are recorded anywhere. Emilio Spedicato, Bergamo, Italy Shamir Phillip Clapham's article on Shamir' (C ...
444. Review: A Bronze Age Disaster. Exodus to Arthur: Catastrophic encounters with comets, by M.G.L. Baillie [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of ideas which should have been retired long ago, such as the idea that scientific methods' have dated the eruption of Thera to c. 1628 BC. The Thera bandwaggon is rolled out again, with everything chucked on it from the Israelites' Exodus from Egypt to the origins of the Shang Dynasty in China. Baillie's attempts to date Chinese history by Irish tree-rings (throwing in the dubious annals' of Irish prehistory concocted in the Middle Ages for good measure) are surely far-fetched. This kind of proxy dating' is unfettered speculation, not the application of scientific methods. As Baillie's book was in press an article was published [2 ] which blew the whole case for ...
445. The Garden, the Fall and the Restoration [Articles]
... that man's consciousness had fallen, that there was this irrational tendency to human sacrifice, to self-destruction in all its various subtle permutations that we still observe today. Perhaps this was the origin of the concept of sin and this is why this was the origin also of most of our religious concepts. In the Hindu tradition, the Greek, Chinese, etc., we read descriptions of how human consciousness degenerated. Hesiod talks of a race of iron. The Hopi tell us: "There came among them a (? ) in the form of a snake with a big head." They have this serpent tradition which is parallel with the biblical tradition. "He led ...
446. Transcript of the Morning Session of the A.A.A.S. Symposium [Articles]
... : What is from Ras Shamra? You spoke of Ras Shamra. HUBER: No, I didn't mention Ras Shamra. VELIKOVSKY: But you mentioned to me yesterday- HUBER: No. VELIKOVSKY:- that most important- HUBER: No, not Ras Shamra. VELIKOVSKY: Fine. HUBER: I'm sorry. VELIKOVSKY: Well, Chinese date, was in this document mentioned also the place? HUBER: For this particular eclipse the place is not mentioned, but- [laughter] VELIKOVSKY: As long as- HUBER: But there is something else. For some other eclipses it is mentioned that the eclipse happened in the province. The inference is that this particular ...
447. Thoth Vol III, No. 18: Dec 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... as Lynn Rose has done, that Earth orbited Saturn in phase-lock, very much as the Moon does in relation to Earth, thus always pointing the same hemisphere toward Saturn. AMY: The second way in which Saturn could have appeared suspended motionless in the sky is if it were stationed at the celestial pole. Cardona quotes from Egyptian, Chinese, Babylonian, Iranian, and Celtic myths, a few of the many hundreds of traditions which place Saturn in the north. He quotes Lynn Rose in Lynn's belief that after the phase-lock era of Saturn came to a close, the ancients knew of no other "immovable station of the sky" in which to place Saturn, so ...

... us as much. Does it? THE TIMELESS ERA Amy: Cardona recounts many myths which not only explicitly claim that time once did not exist, but others which refer to an era when there was no time, and several in which the terms time' and year' and day' are strangely equivalent. He ends up recounting the Chinese record of an age in which the day and night had not yet been divided. ' CARDONA: .. . the first demand raised by our interpretation of the mytho- historical record is actually met by that same record .. . [and] the demand we have just seen being met raises another- because, since the ...

... It is easier to believe that Yankee professors would lie than that stones would fall from heaven." And this was in 1807! Reviewing the history of meteoritics, Dodd commented upon this strange turn of events: "That meteorites came from beyond the Earth is both a very old and a new idea...The ancient Greeks and Chinese also regarded meteorites as objects from the heavens, but this perception, like so much else of value, was lost to Western culture during the long intellectual night that we call the Dark Ages...Although several important meteorite falls were recovered and described during the second half of the eighteenth century, the few men who suggested that ...

... that both Venus and Mars were involved in that initial Passover. This 64 year cycle continues to have a calendric effect. In 239 BC there was a meeting at Canopus that had the intention of reforming the calendar. The period between 687 BC and 239 BC is 448 years, seven multiples of 64 years. In 110 BC, a Chinese Emperor saw fit to adjust the calendar and there are 9 multiples of 64 years involved in this decision. Caesar chose the year 45 BC to inaugurate his revised calendar, 640 years approx. after the event of 687. I believe that the current orbital sequences and their residual memory, plus the aforementioned cycles, are far more indicative ...
