... ] Inscription found in Grave Creek Mound. Initially branded as a forgery, the inscription later was discovered to be ancient Punic written in the Iberian alphabet The implication that people from the Old World obviously had sailed the Atlantic long before Columbus sorely upsets the conventional scheme of the history of the New World and so the matter remains controversial in academic circles. The most frequent rationale is that the tablet is a forgery placed there when the mound was opened. But even if the alphabet had been forged, how could the forger have caused the signs to spell out a perfectly readable message when neither the alphabet nor the language it encoded had been deciphered at the time the tablet was found ...
52. Applying the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... show that 500 years passed (12). In fact, if the Mycenaean pottery had not been assigned early dates by Egyptian chronology, one might say that the LH IIIC pottery (12th century by the Egyptian-based chronology) lasted until the 7th-6th centuries B.C . (13). Just inside the Lion Gate, Schliemann discovered a circle (Fig. 1:D ) containing the graves of royalty. In the 1950's a second circle of royal graves was discovered and excavated. It is for the most part, contemporaneous with the first, beginning a bit before it and discontinued while the first was still in use. These two Grave Circles have furnished some of the ...

54. Shifting Poles. Ch.8 Poles Displaced (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... Poles All other theories of the origin of the Ice Age having failed, there remained an avenue of approach which already early in the discussion was chosen by several geologists: a shift of the terrestrial poles. If for some reason the poles had moved from their original positions, old polar ice would have moved out of the Arctic and Antarctic circles and into new regions. The glacial cover of the Ice Age could have been the polar icecap of an earlier epoch. Thus would be explained not only the origin of the ice cover but also the fact that its geographical position did not coincide with the present Polar Circles. "The simplest and most obvious explanation of great secular changes ...
55. Solar System Studies (Part 2) [Journals] [Aeon]
... . The opposite hemisphere centered within Sudan contains almost all the continental land area plus the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The lithosphere in the latter hemisphere is up to 7 km higher than the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, including its deep trenches. The interface between these two hemispheres is the famed volcanic ring of fire which extends in a great circle along the west coasts of the Americas, the Aleutian Islands and down the East coasts of Asia at least to Indonesia. What titanic long-term pull created a lop-sided Earth? The second component of the triaxial shape is simple. Due to the Earth's spin rate (24 hours), the planet is oblate and its spin axis length is ...
... 5.3 (trans. J. N. Sanyal, vol. 2, pp. 248f.): "Just as oxen, fastened to a post fixed in the center of a threshing floor, leaving their own station, go round at shorter, middle or longer distances, similarly fixed on the inside and outside of the circle of time, stars and planets exist, supporting themselves on Dhruva; and propelled by the wind, they range in every direction till the end of a kalpa."]. The particular "virtue" of the prince, which alarmed even the gods, is worth mentioning: he stood on one leg for more than a month ...
57. The Stream Surrounding the Earth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... articulated. Descriptive terms include resplendent, gleaming, bright, brilliance, splendour, radiance, beauty, fire in the waters, glass and crystalline'. The ring is also described as a mirror, implying reflection of sunlight. Von Dechend and de Santillana make the observation that, in ancient times, fire was thought of as a great circle reaching from one celestial pole to the other' [4 ]. The orientation of the ring is an extremely important element of the model, since the consistency of the reports on its orientation reinforces the overall model validity. From all accounts, the ring was aligned to the north with an inclination angle of about 70 degrees - it ...
58. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of Venus and Mars, and the circular temples reflect the change of worship from Mother Earth to the threatening planets. (The huge erratic monoliths give a terrifying impression of the force of the tidal wave which must have lifted them from their original bed, and dropped them in the direction of flow). The Avebury temple consists of two circles on a NW-SE axis: the northern circle contains a concentric circle surrounding a "cave", which is made up of three large stones in a formation used to denote a womb; the south circle surrounds an obelisk (there are also signs that a third circle was started to the NW). The final features of the whole ...
59. On Decoding Hawkins' Stonehenge Decoded [Journals] [Pensee]
... ideas like building an astronomical computer (his second article and thesis), and, on the other hand, an apparently unfounded fear that the sun might go out of control. In his second paper in Nature (1964), titled "Stonehenge: A Neolithic Computer", Hawkins claimed that the Stonehengers dug out 56 holes in a circle (Aubrey holes from the name of their 17th century discoverer) around Stonehenge in order to predict lunar eclipses. Hawkins wrote in the preface to his book: "In retrospect it is a conservative hypothesis for it allows the Stonehenger to be equal to, but not better than, me. Many facts, for example the 56-year eclipse ...
60. The Demands of the Saturnian Configuration Theory [Journals] [Aeon]
... Venus, Mars, and Earth were once much closer to each other. More than that, they were strung out in a linear conformation, in the order given above, which Frederic Jueneman once jocularly described as a celestial shish-kebab. In other words, the planets in question were strung out, one "below" the other rather than circling around each other. This would have meant that the planets composing this unheard-of configuration were all sharing the same axis of rotation. What this also means is that, from Earth, man would have seen the planet Mars centered on Venus which, in its turn, would have appeared centered on Saturn. I will make no apologies here ...
