... the body carried hieroglyphs of polychrome inlay. The name of the king was erased, but the royal titles were intact, especially the words "living in truth" which Akhnaton regularly placed before his cartouches. The interior of the coffin was also covered with gold leaf. Down the middle of the coffin and of the lid ran a single column of hieroglyphs engraved in the wood; gold had been pressed over them to receive the imprint. "The cartouches of the king have been everywhere destroyed, but the epithet Living for the Truth' is entirely peculiar to Khuniatonu [Akhnaton]," wrote Maspero. Similarly, the column of hieroglyphs on the foil covering the mummy carried ...
182. The Use of the 7-Base Measuring System in Ancient Britain and the Continent [Journals] [Aeon]
... Stonehenge in its design and construction (see above). Using the preceding mensural and geometric data evident in the design and layout of Stonehenge (see tables on following pages), we can address the possible relevance these might have to Frank's discoveries in her studies of Basque culture. In Table B it can be seen that all values in columns IV, V, and VI are whole number multiples of 7, thereby presenting the very distinct probability that the measurements at Stonehenge, as in the Basque configurations, were set out through the utilization of the 7-base system. Table C lists three additional measurements provided by Thom's survey involving distances from C, the center of the Stonehenge monument ...
183. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... built on a circular argument as well as a poor reading of Ramses II, and is sorely out of place in a serious attempt at evaluating the Revised Chronology. MICHAEL BACKWORTH Cheltenham A number of readers have made similar comments. - Ed. PETER JAMES replies: Mr Backworth, I am afraid, has misunderstood the figures in the last column of the table in my article. The list of regnal years is simply headed "Years of Reign", and not "Velikovsky's Proposed Reign-Lengths". The figures given are the raw data from the monuments, and were not meant to read as "Velikovsky's Proposals". The heading "Years of Reign" was originally drafted as ...
184. Synodos, Part 2 Mars Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... - those in the Andes in South America and those in the Hawaiian (Sandwich) Islands in the Pacific. Hence, the idea that the lake is the crater of an extinct volcano has recently been questioned. Moreover, although the bottom of the lake is of lava, and the ground around the lake abounds with ashes and lava and columns of basalt, the talus of a volcano is lacking. Taking what Pliny said of an interplanetary discharge together with what has actually been found at Volsinium, one may wonder whether the cinders and the lava and the columns of basalt could possibly be the remains of the contact Pliny mentions. Again, if the discharge was caused by Mars ...
185. On "The Year -687": A Postscript (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... : "It is curious that the Babylonians also counted a three-month disappearance interval. . ." This is certainly a strange state of affairs, but what about the other intervals? The Venus table in the Dresden Codex consists of five pages (pp. 46-50). Each page represents one synodic revolution of Venus, and consists of four columns. The bottom line contains the number sequence 236, 90, 250, 8 - the intervals of visibility and invisibility of Venus. In another line a running total is accumulated, the last column being 2920 days, which corresponds to five Venus synodical revolutions and eight Earth years rounded to the nearest integer (5 x 584 = 8 ...
186. Physics, Astronomy and Chronology [Articles]
... I suppose it makes the Bristol Channel region fertile and brings Scotland south, I suppose. All this process of building mountains and making sediments and soil has been going on for the whole history of the planet, and if you take the geologists' estimate of how much sediment you should have, to quote De Grazia, we have a column 150 km high, most of which is missing, because anywhere that we look on the Earth, the sedimentary column is very small, usually less than a kilometre. Other people have gone to rivers and measured how much muck comes down them, and give us estimates anywhere between 100 and 10,000 grams of sediment per ton ...
187. Conference: Our Violent Solar System [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Currents. They are hardly known except to those who work with very intense Birkeland currents. "The formal definition is, Peratt Instabilities: Instabilities that occur in intense Birkeland currents or arc discharges as found in plasma torches, z-pinched plasma filaments, or in the mushroom clouds of atmospheric nuclear detonations. The instability takes on the shape of a column of axially symmetric toroids or spheroids that remain in a semi-stable state until disruption. During this state the column may be a source of intense x-rays whose intensity is greatly enhanced if two filaments are in interaction. The instability can also take on a sawtooth structure with a violent snaking motion as found between the anode and cathode of a high ...

189. Cosmic Catastrophes and the Origin of Megalithic Cultures [Journals] [SIS Review]
... sky that threatens to fall down might be held up' by menhirs. As popularised by Asterix and Obelix, the only thing the Celts feared was that the sky might fall on their heads. The same fear motivated the Egyptians, where the God of the Air, Shu, or the Goddess of the Night, or the quadruple Djed column interchanged in holding up the sky. (This pillar cult has been shown by the author to have still existed in Christian churches of the Romanesque and Gothic periods.) Thus the menhir was the guarantee that although the sky may revolve in the course of the day and the year, its position nevertheless remains unchanged [11]. ...
190. The Amarna Period and Levantine Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... little can be inferred), and a funerary stele with lotuses being offered to a god, probably Seth from the surrounding context. Osiris is mentioned in some surviving text on the stele. This would fit in the post Amarna period as Seti and the Ramessides generally were proponents of worship of Seth. In the grounds the head of a column was found with typical Egyptian-style palm leaves opening. A series of tomb chambers - in fact adjoining to the Garden Tomb itself - is also here. All measurements of these large structures are based on the Egyptian royal cubit. From the number of chambers the tomb was clearly intended for several people. There is a small portico - most ...
