... that "the Chaldeans described [Venus] as a bright torch of heaven, ' [and] "as a diamond that illuminates like the sun, ' and compared its light with the light of the rising sun." . . .( 35a) Comparable descriptions of Venus also appear in the records of the Hebrews, Mexicans, Chinese, Hindus, Assyrians, and Egyptians. In his discussion of the gods of Canaan, Albright equated Ba'alshamem with Athtar. The former was viewed as "neither the moon nor the sun, but a god who was above both. This god was presumably the same as the South-Arabic Dhu-samawi, Lord of Heaven', properly Athtar, ...
482. Notes (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... beast', upon which `the-woman' sat, is unknown, though it appears to be assumed by biblical scholars to have been a `dragon', which does not seem to be too fantastic a heraldic symbol for Atlantis. The origin of the custom of denoting countries by heraldic animals the British Lion, the French Cock, the Chinese Dragon, etc. -is not known. Note 81.

483. Velikovsky Versus Academic Lag (The Problem of Hypothesis) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Cusanus, Occam, and Archimedes, etc., because not every idea they left behind is relevant to the scientific perspective. And yet, as we sift through their works carefully, we find the clues relevant to our scientific perspective. It is the same for all of the ancient records that report human experience. Scientists decide to accept Chinese records of the sudden appearance of the Crab Nebula, because it fits their expectations. They reject some of the historical evidence cited by Velikovsky, because it does not fit their expectations. But to arbitrarily take the position that some books are automatically off limits to analysis, because of the way past cultures have used them, is a ...
484. Geomagnetic Reversals? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... as it appears to be reversed, with the constellations apparently moving in the wrong direction. In the Bible there are several references to aberrant behaviour of the Sun. For example, Amos, ch 8 v 9, states that God will cause the Sun to go down at noon. Amos is dated to the 8th century BC. In Chinese records there is a reference to the Sun setting and then coming back, and in Mexican annals there is a reference to the night lasting a long time. These last three references are particularly interesting. Taking a tippe-top reversal lasting one day, for an observer on the equator at a position on the secondary axis of rotation the Sun ...
485. Floods and Tides [Books] [de Grazia books]
... ages coinciding with the successive disruptions of what had been Solaria Binaria. Dwarfing the Scablands and Indus barrier floods was the Gobi Sea flood, which may have been connected with the complex Noachian Flood. Thomas Huxley wrote the first scenario of the event. Bellamy refurbished the story in this century [21]. The Gobi desert, which the Chinese call "the Sea of Sand," was once a great body of water. Numerous settlements lined its shores. Then suddenly it was emptied in a huge barrier-type flood. Its cultures disappeared along with a great many other settlements along the line of the flood. The western barrier of the Gobi Sea broke between Tian Shan and Altai ...

... p. 33, Earthwatch Magazine 1997 expedition guide, p. E1, National Geographic Sept 97, p. 33 There are five small pyramids strung out at 100 metre intervals along a ridge on Mount Kasagi in Japan. They are only seven feet high but skilfully crafted of solid granite. Nothing else is known about them. In the Chinese province of Jiangxi a 13th century BC tomb was filled with pottery, bronze vessels, bells and weapons decorated with an iconography never seen before and along the Yangtzi a group of little known people, the Ba', settled 4,000 years ago. They used a unique script. Study of ancient remains in Thailand indicates that complex ...
487. Physics, Astronomy and Chronology [Articles]
... of time ago, I do not know how long, these people carried these items, I've now found a fossilised person carrying that item, this would prove that there must have been a catastrophe in order to create fossils. Dr Milton: If, let's say, a legion of soldiers was caught up in a tidal wave which the Chinese say was a mile high, how are they going to keep their spears during this onslaught, and if the petrification process occurs subsequent to that, by lava flowing over the debris, and then if you look at the lava layers, the only place that we excavate them will be where we find a gorge or something where the ...

489. Fossil Deposits [Books] [de Grazia books]
... The time of the La Brea incident has had to be lowered drastically; for one thing, human bones have been found there; but also, the assemblage has been connected with other major events, such as the drying of lakes, placed at about 3500 years ago. On the principle of "the Great Contrary" as the ancient Chinese called it, it would seem that the uniformitarians have received their chief input to the reconstruction of ancient species from the catastrophes that they would deny, just as the omnipresence of strata upon which they depend for their geology carries the heaviest implication of repeated disturbances of the Earth's surface. Fossil conglomerates are not partial to genera or to epochs ...
490. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of as not valid, at least for British history. No doubt we shall hear more of these ideas in the future; there are web sites where further information can be obtained. Clark, with the assistance of Chris Marx, wielding copies of Fomenko's books on the subject, parried questions from a rather time-shocked audience. Dendrochronology and ancient Chinese astronomical records were among the more obvious subjects which could raise problems for such radical ideas but their promoters were not unduly fazed and the audience must have been left with their faith in the absolute correctness of the AD record at least a little shaken. Time remained for a short general discussion which ranged over a wider field than considered above ...
