... which usually show an abbreviated curl - but by the original hieroglyph for "beard" , depicting a pronounced and highly unnatural, spiraling form remarkably similar to that of the curl our proposed image of the Great Comet. Additionally, the Egyptian hieroglyphic texts themselves show very clearly that the shining beard of the sun god is actually a great goddess circling in the heavens, a goddess about whom the priests had some very concrete ideas: "I worship her as the Great Beard", states a Coffin Text.(9 ) Another text from the same source declares: ". . . For I am the Great One who sought out the Great Lady; I have come that ...
72. Megalithic Astronomy [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol 1 No 2 (Spring 1976) Home | Issue Contents Neolithic Stone Circles - their Purpose and Interpretation Megalithic Astronomy Euan MacKie Valuable evidence which must be considered in relation to theories of recent catastrophism is provided by the prehistoric standing stone observatories in the British Isles and Brittany. Enough work has been done on these Late Neolithic sites to make it clear that a large number of them were positioned and designed in order to mark accurately the rising and setting positions of celestial bodies and they thus provide a record of the state of parts of the Solar System about 4000 years ago. The disadvantage of this kind of evidence is that, since it depends on ...
73. The Great Father [Books]
... .) Of the Egyptian Atum (or Re) I note these special characteristics: Primeval Unity. Atum is the "One," but also the "All." Though he is the solitary god of beginnings, an assembly of lesser gods emanate from him and revolve in his company. These secondary deities, the paut or "circle" of the gods, constitute Atum's own "limbs." Atum's body is the primeval Cosmos, (18) denoted by the circle in the sign Regulator. Atum is the stationary god, the "Firm Heart of the Sky." His hieroglyph, however, is the primitive sledge , signifying "to move." As ...
74. On testing The Polar configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... Celestial Kingdom World Wheel World Egg Cosmic Temple Cosmic City Sun God's Shield Sun God's Crown Sun God's Throne World-Encircling Ocean Encircling Serpent Band of the Celestial Eye Primeval Island Encircling Cord or Rope As a unified theory, the model would predict that all of these themes, when traced to their roots, will reveal themselves to be nothing other than a circle of fire and light, the dwelling of the sun god. It should go without saying that in the majority of instances these objects themselves are so different as to provide no basis for a syncretic blending. But the theory requires us, at every step, to distinguish between the symbol and the thing symbolized: in our mundane world ...
75. Science Frontiers 1977-1978 [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... (Olsen, Paul E., and Galton, Peter M.; "Triassic-Jurassic Tetrapod Extinctions: Are They Real?", Science, 197:983-985, 1977). IMMENSE CIRCULAR TERRESTRIAL STRUCTURES OF GREAT AGE Saul has analyzed many topographic and geological maps and discovered faint circular terrestrial patterns that have mostly not been described before. These circles measure between 7 and 700 kilometers in diameter and are nearly perfect geometrical figures. The rims of the circles are generally raised and characterized by fracturing and brecciation. These structures can be traced in many geological environments and rocks of all ages. They control to an extraordinary extent regional geology and ore mineralization. To date, some 1, ...
76. Flawed Search [Journals] [Kronos]
... by Krupp himself is presented as a non-mathematical introduction to practical astronomy. This is necessary for the understanding of subsequent chapters, and is in general comprehensible, though some of the information could have been transmitted with fewer words and greater clarity. For many readers the work of the Thoms will be the most familiar, and their chapter on stone circles and menhirs follows. Thom's eminence in the field is largely based on the accuracy of his measurements and the precision of his analysis. Recent papers and reviews have, however, cast doubt on some of his figures, with serious results for his megalithic yard and megalithic calendar (Moir et al. Antiquity LIV, 3743, 1980) ...
77. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Catastrophic Reading of Religious Systems'. As this dealt with the origins and reasons for the survival of the present day world religions, its subject matter was chronologically later than that of our second speaker so I will deal with the lectures in reverse order. Dr Terence Meaden is perhaps best known to the general public by his research on crop circles (The Circles Effect and its Mysteries - reviewed in C & C Workshop 1990:1 , pp. 32-33). However, members of SIS will be aware that Dr Meaden also has a great interest in archaeology (see Eric Crew's discussion of Meaden's book The Goddess of the Stones, C & C Workshop 1991:2 , ...
... 1 .242f.) it is said: "One pole is ever high above us, while the other, beneath our feet, is seen of black Styx and the shades infernal" ( sub pedibus Styx atra videt Manesque profundi). 194 What can it mean, except that Styx flows in sight of the other pole? The circle which began with Hesiod is now closed. [n1 The symmetry of both polar Zones is clearly in the poet's mind. "Five Zones comprise the heavens; whereof one is ever glowing with the flashing sun, ever scorched by his flames. Round this, at the world's ends, two stretch darkling to right and left, set ...

... and turning it over to the demons or demigods. Therefore there was a split in Greek thought and in Greek cosmology, between this world, which is full of corruption (perfectly acceptable to having a catastrophe or two), and the heavens, which did not change; they were there for eternity. The stars went around in perfect circles, the circle itself being a symbol for eternity. It has no beginning and no end and nothing therefore can interrupt it. Plato actually has some very good reasons for making this dichotomy. He had rather pro-Spartan leanings, which were dangerous living in Athens, as he did. He lived through the Peloponesian War when the Democratic Party ...
80. The Enclosed Sun-Cross [Books]
... suggestion one is compelled to agree, for the first settlements, organized for a ritual purpose, imitated the heavenly abode. Each sacred territory became "the land of the four rivers" and each ruler "the king of the four quarters. Geographical limitations did not prevent the Assyro-Babylonian priests from assimilating the map of their land to the quartered circle of the primeval kingdom. Thus a text reproduced by Virolleaud locates the land of Akkad, Elam, Subartu, and Amurru within the fourfold enclosure of the sun . (22) "Every land," states Jeremias, "has its paradise, ' which corresponds with the cosmic paradise." (23) The land of the ...
