... Egypt as we would expect it to be then: Nay, but the heart is violent. Plague stalks through the land and blood is everywhere... Nay, but the river is blood. Does a man drink from it? As a human he rejects it. He thirsts for water... Nay, but gates, columns and walls are consumed with fire... Nay but men are few. He that lays his brother in the ground is everywhere... Nay but the son of the high-born man is no longer to be recognised... The stranger people from outside are come into Egypt... Nay, but corn has perished ...

193. Chronological Implications of a Proper Identification of the Labyrinth [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 1: The Step Pyramid Complex Figure 1 depicting the layout of the Step Pyramid complex is taken from a modern guidebook, and appears to be based on a schematic prepared by Lauer [12]. Many uncanny similarities with the descriptions provided by Herodotus and Strabo can be seen. For example, the guidebook states, "There are forty columns in the colonnade, thought to represent the nomes or provinces which numbered around forty at the time. Originally, the colonnade was roofed in, and a roof over the shorter end columns would have formed a long T-shaped gallery" [13]. Also Steps lead up the south wall of the Zoser complex to the warren of tombs ...

196. Chronological Implications of a Proper Identification of the Labyrinth: Part II [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Herodotus places the erection of the Labyrinth before Psammetichus but after Sennacherib attacked Egypt, ie during the early 7th century BC. On the other hand Egyptologists claim that a 3rd Dynasty king built the Step Pyramid complex around 2630 BC, a conclusion reached before excavation of the surrounding complex in the 1920s. This chronological placement conflicts with the engaged fluted columns with Doric capitals found in the North and South Buildings of the Step Pyramid complex, features which initially suggested drastic revision of the 2630 BC date. However, Egyptologists were soon persuaded to retain a 3rd Dynasty classification of these buildings, rather than placing them in the Greek classical period or later, because of scribal graffiti found near the ...
197. The Riddle of the Earth [Books]
... fissures, new craters on old, parasitic or subsidiary craters, small volcanoes within the region, islands, hot springs, lakes sometimes of naphtha, carbonised and fossilised wood. It will be convenient to examine these in detail, beginning with rain. RAIN ACCOMPANYING ERUPTIONS 31. A volcano as it bursts into eruption produces or attracts a vast column of heated clouds and smoke ascending to a considerable height in the heavens, heavily charged with electricity and many gases, where it spreads out on a similar principle to a waterspout or like a gigantic umbrella. The column or pillar emerging from the orifice, owing to its density, gives an impression of solidity and emits tremendous quantities of ...
198. Challenges to Evolutionary Gradualism [Books]
... it is not necessary to my main thesis, and I have become increasingly convinced that we must look for more than everyday happenings to explain many geological features. I believe, furthermore, that the type of boundary afforded by a sudden extinction is one of the most valuable geological tools we possess, and that there are others in the geological column that have been caused catastrophically, although not necessarily by the same direct cause. Thus a major impact on continental areas could trigger tectonic or geomagnetic changes which could have enormous secondary effects on life" [88]. The anticipated debate about the involvement of impacts and other catastrophes failed to take place. David Raup has commented: " ...
199. The Road to Saturn (Excerpts from an Autobiographical Essay) [Journals] [Aeon]
... to remind our ancestors of that more ancient burst of illumination that had heralded the appearance of their god and the beginning of the Golden Age. To the inhabitants of Mesopotamia, its "shiny ribbon" of a reflection on the waters of the Persian Gulf would even have lent it a slight resemblance to the original Saturnian configuration, with its column of radiant light, as it had been described by their more ancient forebears. Add to that the fact that the new starburst appeared in a constellation that was already sacred to Ea / Saturn and the implication of its appearance becomes quite clear. Those who witnessed it merely mistook it for the long awaited Saturnian return. Thus it was ...
200. From Myth to a Physical Model [Journals] [Aeon]
... If we can oversimplify the many forms in which the departure of one or another god occurs, the most common idea is transfiguration into a distant star- in the more meticulously elaborated astronomies, a specific planet. Countless other forms of transfiguration, as a "soul-bird" a "feathered serpent," a comet, a stone, a column of smoke, when examined in detail, consistently support the planetary transfiguration. 6. Through storytelling over time, the gods are brought down to earth. In the course of re-enactment and storytelling over the centuries, the celestial gods become the aged kings and warring heroes, the great queens and long-haired princesses of epic literature. That this ...
