... as the target and they as the missiles. The appearance in fact of this great volcanic field is of a very ancient linear arrangement first laid down in one of the earlier ages which continued in active existence and became the attractive force to later volcanic deposits of the Tertiary Age. Mt. Vesuvius, showing the various cones (in black circles) scattered in its vicinity, most of them revealing systematic linear directions. Astroni, Mt. Nuova and Lake Avernus are on the left of the map. 5I. Etna presents many similarities to Vesuvius. This great mountain, the loftiest volcano in Europe, with a height of 10,874 feet, and a diameter of ninety ...

... the depth to the bottom of the ice cap; h is the height to the top of the ice cap, both d and h being measured from the level of the outer edge of the firn' zone of the ice cap; tis the time; and V(r ) is the volume of the ice cap inside a concentric circle of radius r. The condition to be used to define the maximum size of the ice cap is d V/dt 0, i.e . the net rate of accumulation equals the net rate of flow of ice across a ring of radius r concentric with the ice cap under the condition where a(r ) is at ...

114. The Cairns Of Kintraw [Journals] [Kronos]
... Contents The Cairns Of Kintraw Dwardu Cardona Copyright (c ) 1979 by Dwardu Cardona. Dr. Euan MacKie's archaeological excavation at Kintraw, Argyllshire, Scotland, has been hailed by some as a dramatic confirmation of the astronomical function of this megalithic site. According to Alexander Thom's earlier work, the site consists of what he mistook for a small circle of stones approximately twenty feet in diameter, an outlying menhir twelve feet high, a fallen stone which would have been some seven feet high, and a ruined cairn the diameter of which is slightly over fifty feet. The arrangement, as shown in the accompanying diagrams, occupies a small level piece of ground, the only such place ...
... his mouth and destroyed most of the world before God and his Angels annihilated him. In Egypt, Assyria, and in Central America, after Saturn was overthrown the wise men seem to have devised and set up that lovely but sinister symbol of the Winged Globe. If you examine it closely it's meaning is clear. First there is the circle, or nucleus, then two serpents' heads erect and sometimes crowned, to indicate celestial flames, the outstretched wings of the hawk to depict great speed, and usually a long fan-like tail, the gases. Painted in various beautiful colours-such as cometary gases reveal under the spectroscope-the symbol of the Winged Globe adorned the entrance to the temples ...
116. Pole Shifts Through Impacts: The Debate Goes on [Journals] [Aeon]
... axis- millions of years, according to him, which is an enormity in every respect. Finally, I don't know how GPS deals with it, but Earth's poles do move constantly around Earth's axis of symmetry- and, this time, the use of the term is correct- due to the so-called Chandler wobble, which describes a circle with a diameter of about 0.6 seconds of arc and a period of 428 days within the solid Earth. The position of this circle's center has shifted by about 0.3 seconds of arc since 1900, showing that the pole's average position is slowly shifting (nothing new about this). But what is more significant is ...
117. The Cosmic Double Helix [Journals] [Aeon]
... the latter can perhaps be regarded as the purest and least distorted of the three, at least insofar as abstracticonography is meant. This is because abstract traditional images have managed to steer clear of symbolism, testifying in the most direct manner to the archetype that was actually observed. Abstract petroglyphs and images on early seals and pottery depict columns and circles with no explicit symbolical meaning. In the minds of the artists they may have represented serpents, pillars, trees, suns or wombs, but the symbols are not explicit in the pictures we are left with today. These pictures therefore constitute a most valuable class of data for the reconstruction of the visual archetype. Unambiguous representations of the ...

... and of the tropic of Cancer). From this point, I have traced the circumferences the radiuses of which equal 36, 72 (2x36), 108 (3x36) and 144 (4x36) degrees. We notice that: The megalithic sites of Stonehenge (Great Britain) and of Carnac (France) are situated on the first circle. The ancient Chinese observatory of Gaocheng (area of Luoyang) and the site of Angkor Vat (Cambodia) are situated on the second circle. The remarkable solar observatory of Chaco Canyon (USA, New-Mexico), the Maya cities of Uxmal (Mexico), of Tikal (Guatemala) and of Copan (Honduras) and, ...

... 5 inches long, and 5 inches wide. The title is in gilt letters, that of heaven faces the south, and those of the ancestors east and west. The Emperor, with his immediate suite, kneels in front of the tablet of Shang-Ti and faces the north. The platform is laid with marble stones, forming nine concentric circles; the inner circle consists of nine stones, cut so as to fit with close edges round the central stone, which is a perfect circle. Here the Emperor kneels, and is surrounded first by the circles of the terraces and their enclosing walls, and then by the circle of the horizon. He thus seems to himself and ...
120. Solar System Studies [Journals] [Aeon]
... bodies approach closely to Mercury and pull it out of a more circular orbit with loss of angular momentum? Could this sort of event have happened more than once? In legend Mercury appears as a secondary but nevertheless important god. This is surprising since Mercury is hard to see except at its two brief elongations during its short, highly elliptical circlings of the Sun, and the planet is hard enough to see even then. If Mercury once moved on a more circular orbit concentric with its present aphelia it would have been 0.47AU from the Sun and almost always in view. It would have been the fastest of the gods, to wit The Messenger. If it also ...
