... about the Mesopotamian reconstruction they do not accept the later developments and Whelton describes them as accepting half the Heinsohn loaf'. Derek Shelley-Pearce, 1988 The Life and Death of Megaliths Books Reviewed Dolmens for the Dead - Megalith building throughout the world by Roger Joussaume (Hachette 1985) The Stonehenge People - Life and death at the world's greatest stone circle by Aubrey Burl (J .M .Dent 1987) Dolmens for the Dead is not an easy read but would be invaluable as a text book for anyone interested in pursuing in great detail what is currently known about megalithic burial structures. Over half the book deals with western and northern Europe, not surprisingly, as here are found ...
122. NASA Astrophysics Data System Abstracts [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Moscow, Russia) in Astronomical and Astrophysical Transactions, Vol. 17, p.475-482 In this paper I attempt to demonstrate that some images of ancient rock art may be connected with astronomical observations. [. .] Numerous and mysterious geometrical signs of rock art demonstrate an external formal similarity and have a wide territorial and chronological spread. Circles and concentric circles, disks with rays, spirals, different variants of swastikas, spectacle-shaped images (dumbbells) and some other symbols are among them. They constitute a universal set of signs reflecting peculiarities of prehistoric consciiousness. In full at: http://adsbit.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-iarticle_query?bibcode= ...
123. The Celestial Whirlpool Lake [Books]
... on the latter stream that the log with the Indian inside floated and soon came to the whirling water which was surrounded by high steep cliffs. Here were the whirling logs he had so often heard of. When his log entered the lake it ran first towards the centre, then it moved around four times, making each time a wider circle until it approached the shore and landed close to the inlet and south of it. The ye'i (god) pulled the plug from the butt of the log and helped the Indian to come out on the land. When he was out, they put the plug back again and told him to look around. He beheld the cross ...

... the Great Bear, that this constellation turned a somersault in the skies each night. This it continued to do all through Pharaonic days. Moreover, for at least the first thousand years of our period its sweep became ever more circumscribed as its somersault became more and more symmetrical, It was thus revolving round the pole in an ever diminishing circle during these early ages of human observation. It was not until after the year 1600 BC., that the circle began to widen again. This gradual alteration was, of course, extremely slow and it must have been very many generations, if ever, before it could have caused any disquietude to the observer. Such an evolution ...
125. The Goddess of the Stones and the Charged Cosmic Body [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... about 1600BC, the time of the early Bronze Age' (Walks in the Cheviot Hills, Northumberland County Council, 1982, p. 7). A book has been published recently with a new and entirely surprising interpretation of thse carvings. Dr. Meaden, author of The Goddess of the Stones, is also the author of The Circles Effect and its Mysteries which I reviewed in Workshop 1990:1 , pp. 32-33. He claims that the many strange shapes of crop circles, are, apart from a few obvious hoaxes, the effects of whirlwinds in which particles in the air flow become electrically charged, producing the audible and visible characteristics that have been observed by ...

127. The Birth and Odyssey of Halley's Comet: From 2484 B.C. to the Present Time [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... 11 B.C .[ 4 ] The History of Halley's Comet, Part II By 1700 the scientific fruits of the Reformation began to ripen. Edmund Halley made a study of medieval comets and even assisted Isaac Newton financially in publishing the famous Principia, offering a mathematical understanding of gravity. At this time some felt that Earth's orbits were circles. Others supposed that Earth orbits were ellipses; Newton and Halley were among the latter. They "knew" that planetary orbits were ellipses, satellite orbits (such as the Moon's) were ellipses, and strongly suspected that comet orbits were also ellipses- the most "elliptical" of all the celestial orbits. This is the setting ...
128. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Two [Books]
... '. The order in which I have tackled the sources of WIC has been determined largely by the availability of the relevant books, and not at all by their debunkability. The spirit of my assessment of V's use of his sources might thus be adequately described not by the Fortean proverb quoted above, but by another "One measures a circle, beginning anywhere." Bob Forrest. Manchester September 1981. Section 7- continued. Herodotus According to V the final act of his cosmic drama took place on March 23rd 687 BC. Two hundred years later, or thereabouts, the Greek historian Herodotus wrote his famous "Histories", and though he touched on many matters ranging ...

... some other mass concentration, that enabled a torque to flip Earth; or systematic worldwide coastal destruction caused by the accompanying ocean floods. I am unaware of any evidence for the former presence of such a bulge or mass concentration. The reader should be aware that to a first approximation a lunar mass placed, not impacted, on the Arctic Circle would produce an inversion in about a fortnight. So we are not concerned with trivial masses. If that lunar mass were ice, it would cover the Earth to a depth of almost 90 miles when it melted. The curious reader might compare this scenario with the alternative at the end of Salkeld's fifth paragraph in Workshop 1987:2 ...
130. The Domestication of the Human Species [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... could explain the prevalence of myths such as that of the garden of Eden. Wilson considers that architecture influenced the structure of society and symbolic thinking and not the reverse. The temporary dry season settlements of the !Kung, as a result of their need to be at all times visible to each other, take on the form of concentric circles, which Wilson prefers to think of as an unintentional source of imagery, sooner than a demonstration of some basic human subconscious symbol; the symbols of the circle with central spot, concentric circles and circle with cross only appear in domesticated cultures. Wilson suggests that from the original importance of the central hearth, the house became a symbol ...
