... above researchers was the subsequent work of others, among them Uno Holberg (Der Baum des Lebens), who documented the preeminence of the polar god in the ritual of Altaic and neighbouring peoples, suggesting ancient origins in Hindu and Mesopotamian cosmologies; (2 ) Leopold de Saussure (Les Origines de l'Astronomie Chinoise), who showed that primitive Chinese religion and astronomy honour the celestial pole as the home of the supreme god; Rene Guenon (Le Roi du Monde and Le Symbolisme de la Croix), who sought to outline a universal doctrine centering on the polar gods and principles of ancient man. That these and other researchers, each starting down a different path, arrived at ...
52. The Inconstant Sun [Journals] [Kronos]
... Dr. John Eddy, of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, who turned detective-historian to answer the riddle plaguing climatologists. THE MAUNDER MINIMUM Sunspots were known to the ancient Greeks, but this knowledge was lost in the West and the spottiness of the Sun only rediscovered by Galileo in the early seventeenth century. (The Chinese knew about sunspots throughout this period when no observations were being made in the West- but more of that later.) The realization that the Sun shows blemishes on its skin was among the "heresies" for which Galileo was persecuted; the central dogma of the Western Church in the centuries prior had been that the Sun was a ...
53. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Six [Books]
... , to borrow Mr Warlow's words, I see WIC merely as one of the greatest fantasies of our time, perhaps of all time. ' In fact, as a suitable subtitle for V. Sources' would propose: "a study of an interdisciplinary fantasy." Bob Forrest. Manchester. January 1985. Section 56. Franco- Chinese Sources. There are a number of French translations of Chinese texts that V refers to in WIC. I have classed these together under the heading Franco- Chinese Sources'. The first three of them are all cited on WIC p.247-8, in the section Tao'. a) We here refer to L. Wieger, ...
54. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. Rock of Ages [Books]
... and eternal as a rock-that is the Northern celestial centre wherein the axis is unshakeably fixed. This is confirmed by the fact that the Iha Ya is "near the source of the peaceful heavens-River" (i , 32) which, as will be shown in its section, is the Milky Way proceeding from the Northern celestial pole. The Chinese Li Khi says that heaven-that is the heavens, as I always say here for clearness-are hollow in the centre, but solid in their heights.1 The entrance to the Norse Asgard, the garden or enclosure of the Ases or great gods, is by HiminBiorg, heavens-Rocks,2 which is clearly an identical myth. I have already ...
55. Binomial Coefficients, Permutations and Combinations in Elam and Babylon [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... No adequate support is found for a concept that Babylonians, Elamites, and others of ancient times possessed any knowledge of binomialism, whether of binomial expansion,(1 ) generally thought to have been generalized by Sir Isaac Newton, or binomial coefficients,(2 ) generally thought to be expressed by Blaise Pascal and known by Arabs and the Chinese at least as late as A.D . 1303;(3 ) or of the study of permutations and combinations. While no hard data of binomial and combination study can be shown, it is generally conceded by many that knowledge of the binomial coefficients lies, of course, fully within the reach of Babylonian algebra.(4 ...
56. 'Worlds in Collision' After Heinsohn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Joel and Micah, which the Bible closely synchronises with the reigns of these kings. Supplementary material is adduced from Mesopotamian annals of the successive Neo-Assyrian Sargonid kings Sargon II, Sennacherib and Esarhaddon (and also a new Babylonian astronomical era of Nabonassar' beginning in -747), the Greek tradition that the Olympic Games were founded in -776 and the Chinese annals in which stars fell like a rain' on March 23rd -687 [17]. Velikovsky paints a picture of a century of chaos comprising the Libyan and Ethiopian dynasties in Egypt, the ferocious Neo-Assyrian invasions throughout the Near East, the even more ferocious descent of the Scythians from the north, the decline of the Etruscans, the ...

60. Calendars Revisited [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... period supposedly came to an end, the heliacal risings of Sirius were sometimes on July 19 Julian and sometimes on July 20 Julian. Many of the dates that are conventionally equated do not coincide exactly, but only overlap. This is because some days are counted from sunset (Jewish, Babylonian, and Macedonian) and others from midnight (Chinese, Julian and Gregorian), or from sunrise (Egyptian and Alexandrian). These differences can usually be neglected, but sometimes they are of major importance. (4 ) (A much later example would be the death of Alexander the Great, known to have occurred after sunset and before midnight.) In an equation such as ...
