... I recommend. Without entering into more details than necessary it may be that in Neolithic times the builders set to work to raise this prodigious monument of Sarsen (a word derived from saracen, i.e . foreign or devil or volcanic) stones. They set up 100 such stones all un-hewn and all erect or upright round the Great Circle, these being up to 21 feet in height and 62 tons in weight, holes about 2 feet deep being cut into the solid chalk and the bases fixed firmly by wedging smaller stones. Two lesser circles of stones occupied a position north and south inside the great circle. These were formed of two concentric rings of upright stones, ...
142. The Oera Linda book [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 1871 paper From (Oera Linda book) it appears that (Atland) was land stretching out far to the west of Jutland, of which Heligoland and the islands of North Friesland are the last barren remnants. ' The Other Atlantis is prefaced prefaced by a map showing Atland as a huge island off Norway's coast, chiefly within the Arctic Circle, and based apparently on information obtained from paranormal sources. Grant, for some reason, placed it between the north of Britain and Greenland'. Interestingly, the Zeno Map of the North' [4 ] shows the piece of continental shelf around the Faroe Islands above water as an island called Frisia, but I don't imagine that ...
143. The Cosmic Origin of the Swastika [Journals] [Aeon]
... Helios, riding in his celestial chariot, with a swastika emblazoned on his chest. (16) It must be remembered, however, that, originally, Helios was a name of the planet Saturn and not the Sun. (17) In various other ancient depictions, swastikas, and related symbols, are shown radiating from two concentric circles, and this, too, has been seen as validating the emblem's association with the Sun. One, however, has to ask: if the outer circle was supposed to portray the Sun, what was the inner circle meant to represent? Swastikas, and related emblems, in conjunction with the Saturnian symbol, as depicted on Lycian ...
144. Response to Slabinski [Journals] [Aeon]
... the Earth and Saturn are moving synchronously around the Sun in the following relationships- Earth Saturn Sun so that after a quarter revolution around the Sun, the positions are- Earth Saturn Sun Now if the system keeps moving in this fashion around the Sun, you will see that in the course of one "year", the Earth has circled Saturn, while the Earth-Saturn-Sun angle has remained constant. At the angle illustrated, the observer on Earth would see a quarter crescent on Saturn continuously. Therefore, this position for a synchronous "orbit" of Earth around Saturn would seem to be ideal for supporting David Talbott's Saturnian crescent. Well, as it turns out, that's right ...
145. Ancient Calendars [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ) it was convenient to work with a standard denominator with plenty of factors. The Romans used 12 unciae (hence inches/ounces) since 12 has 4 factors to ten's 2, even though their whole number system was based entirely on the fingers (digits - 5's and 10's). The Babylonians chose 60, but divided the full circle into 360 degrees, so that each would approximate one day's solar motion. The earliest division of the Sun's path was probably into 12 parts [3 ] corresponding to the Sun's domain for one month; this is reflected in our 12-sign zodiac. Further division requires, for simplicity, a multiple of 12, so that 360 is simply ...
146. The Lost History of Ireland: an enquiry into the pre-Christian History of the Gaels' by Emmet J. Sweeney [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... time contain clear references to upheavals of the Earth, with apparent earthquakes and widespread flooding of the land by the sea, as do Breton legends. (It is interesting to note that visitors to the south coast of Brittany can see a clearly flooded landscape, most notably the Gulf of Morbiham, where one small island has on it a circle of standing stones which now stands below the high tide mark.) Sweeney also discusses the Klimasturz, the great climatic upheaval of the 8th century BC, when areas of Ireland which had been host to temperate deciduous forests became buried under massive peat bogs. In this, he leans heavily on Velikovsky's Earth in Upheaval (probably the most ...
147. Analysis of the Babylonian Observations [Journals] [Kronos]
... The path of Venus as seen from Earth, the apparent motion of the Sun, and the horizon seen by an observer on Earth, can all be projected onto the celestial sphere; their relative positions can then be calculated using spherical trigonometry, involving two dimensions instead of three. The horizon seen by any observer on Earth forms a great circle on the celestial sphere. (A great circle is any circle on a sphere that divides the sphere into two equal halves.) At any instant, two different great circles can be defined on the celestial sphere such that: one is the horizon of the point on Earth which has the same latitude as Babylon and which has the ...
148. Remembering Velikovsky [Journals] [Aeon]
... following the same pattern. My friend, Monroe Rosenthal of New York City, a Jewish nationalist and supporter of the Revisionist Movement and, later, the Likud party, in Israel, told me that Velikovsky very clearly revealed his strong right-wing Jewish nationalist views to him in private conversations. Just as I have never come across anyone in Velikovsky's circle who was previously aware of his belief in extraterrestrial visitations to Earth in the primeval past, I have yet to encounter any of Velikovsky's collaborators to whom he had openly expressed the views he shared with Mr. Rosenthal. The pattern divulged here, I submit, is of immense importance to Velikovsky's biographers. In the first place, it ...
149. Is Gravity Necessary? (A Response to Charles Ginenthal's Electro-Gravitic Theory) [Journals] [Aeon]
... In the hope that it will help our readers understand the subtleties of the issues Ginenthal raises, I would like to compare our differing views of the electrical contribution to gravity. In his theory, Charles Ginenthal follows the practice of physicists since Galileo in defining behaviors in terms of operational quantities. Galileo envisioned inertia as continued motion along a great circle. Newton modified Galileo's inertia in his first Law, stating in part, "every body continues in its state. . .of motion in a right line unless compelled to change that state. . ." He then defined force as something which caused inertial motion to change in "proportion to the motive force impressed" and stated ...

... mere vague rendition, where each viewer sees what he wants to see. I noticed that the Antarctic coast is well defined, mostly mountainous, with many rivers, none of which penetrate too far into the interior of the continent. Modernity is suggested by the overall shape of Antarctica, the use of a polar projection complete with the Antarctic Circle, and the placement of the landmass well south of the tapered ends of South America and Africa. Oronteus's Greenland also has a decent shape, much better than North America. Antarctica on the Schoner Globe of 1523-1524, reproduced in Figure 51, is also quite impressive, once again positioned south of a tapered South America. The tapered ...
