... that these discrepancies would be at least at the time the rules were composed.(8 ) Sean Mewhinney Ottawa, Ontario NOTES 1. Robert R.

... of the meteors could temporarily outdazzle them. The explicit statement of the T'ung Chien Kang Mu that the sky was cloudless is probably an inference from the comment in the Tso Chuan that "the night was bright". If there were clouds, it would be dark. In this connection, two observations collected by Zhuang Tianshan in "Ancient Chinese Records of Meteor Showers" (Chinese Astronomy Vol. l, pp. 197-220) are worth noting: On November 3,1533, "stars fell like rain and the sky thereby turned red". And on June 12, 1547, "stars fell like rain .. .. and the sky glowed like fire". ...

... of the evidence) that the agents of the last two such catastrophes were the planets Venus and Mars. Worlds in Collision supports this final contention by a vast mass of evidence, meticulously documented, from stories handed down all over the world, from the accounts of the Aztecs through the Hebrew Scriptures and the Illiad to the annals of the Chinese emperors. Perhaps the basic theses of Worlds Collision were fundamentally mistaken. But the scientific establishment did not react as though they thought they were so; but rather as though they feared that they might be true, and could not bear that anyone should be permitted to look dispassionately at the relevant evidence. As Wolfe suggests at the end ...

... the case, and I do not question that it was, why did it take 1800 years for such a practical people to realise that heavenly events bore no links with terrestrial, especially political, ones? The only solution to this illusory conundrum lies in the time scale stretching those 1800 years. Another instance of such knowledge and non-knowledge involves Chinese records: "The Chinese have a tradition of astronomical observation, and indeed they recorded eclipses from before 2000 BC. However, they do not appear to have made inroads into eclipse prediction...A catalogue dated around 200 BC lists two cases of pairs of solar eclipses exactly one lunation apart. There cannot be two solar eclipses ...

... , however, McDowell has written nothing about the subject that is worth considering. McDowell's hypothesis concerning the manner in which Swift might have obtained his information on the Martian satellites amounts to nothing more than a house of cards where surmise is precariously balanced upon conjecture. His hypothesis consists of the following: (2 ) 1) That the ancient Chinese might have had knowledge of the moons of Mars; 2) that Gottfried Leibniz might have obtained this knowledge through the Jesuit missionaries in China; 3) that Abate Conti might have stolen Leibniz' notes; 4) that Conti might have donated these notes to Isaac Newton; 5) that Newton might have confided in John Arbuthnot; ...

77. The Cosmic Mountain [Books]
... the centre of heaven. Though this cosmic mountain appears under many different names, accounts from every section of the world tell much the same story. The Egyptians knew the great column as the Primeval Hill, the Babylonians as the World Mountain. The mount passed into Hinduism as the cosmic Meru, into Iranian myth as Hera-Berezaiti, and into Chinese myth and astrology as Kwen-Lun. Mexican cosmology gave it the name Colhuacan. Its most familiar representatives were Olympus and Zion. But does not Olympus refer to the well-known peak in Macedonia, and Zion to the small hill in Palestine? In truth the mythical Olympus and the mythical Zion are the same mountain; only their terrestrial representations differ ...

78. The Great Father [Books]
... "a shadow of glory over the land." (16) All Mesopotamian figures of the primeval god possess this tangible character, and accounts of the god's radiant appearance are more of a historical than a speculative nature. Egyptian and Mesopotamian traditions of the solitary creator find many parallels in later Hebrew, Greek, Persian, Hindu, and Chinese mysticism and philosophy. But it is the earlier imagery which illuminates the later. And however unorthodox the idea may seem, the oldest records treat the great god's birth in the deep and his acts of "creation" as events experienced by the ancestors. "Hearts were pervaded with fear, hearts were pervaded with terror when I was ...

"The earth trembled, and the heavens dropped . . . the mountains ...
