... centuries B.C .) that instances numbered in the thousands.(9 ) Yet, except for the decorated tiles of Ramses III, this distinctive motif is essentially non-existent in the repertoire of Egyptian art; and any additional appearance seems to be solely due to Persian influence (see below). Some flower designs, sculptured on a column base found northwest of Shiraz, bring to mind not only the rosette and floriate motifs of Ramses III's palace, but the method of decorative employment as well.(10) The Persian example is dated from the fifth to the fourth centuries B.C . Furthermore, a rosette pattern, extremely similar to the ones that are shown ...
492. Catastrophes: the Diluvial Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... according to the evidence of the fossils found in the rocks. The scale was such that the processes involved must have affected an area far greater than just the Paris basin, perhaps even covering the whole world. Figure 1. Diagrammatic representation of the rocks of the Paris Basin, from Cuvier's Recherches sur les ossemens fossiles of 1812. The column shows alternate saltwater (marin) and freshwater (eau douce) formations, whilst at the bottom right is a layer of detrital silt' (limon d'atterrissement). As an indication of the speed of action of the most recent of the révolutions, if not the others, Cuvier drew attention to the discovery of unputrified carcasses of large ...
493. The Polar Sun [Books]
... another seeks to understand the imagery in terms of a night sun "resting" in an imagined underworld. But numerous Egyptian sources show that the place of rest is the motionless centre and summit. Osiris is "exalted upon his resting place," (39) or "in the heights." (40) The hieroglyphs portray a column of steps leading to the polar zenith; it is here that the hymns locate Osiris: "Hail, O Osiris, thou hast received thy sceptre and the place whereon thou art to rest, and the steps are under thee." (41) The deceased beseeches the great god: ". .. May I be established ...
494. An Investigation into the Reality of the Early Medieval Dark Age [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , Einhard, who was appointed abbot of a series of monasteries after his death. Over 80 early copies of this biography are still in existence, including the Paris' manuscript, dating from no later than the 10th century [6 , 12, 13]. On the subject of the Aachen chapel, Einhard reported how Charlemagne had the columns and marbles for this structure brought from Rome and Ravenna, for he could not find such as were suitable elsewhere'. Years later, according to Einhard, Charlemagne was buried in the same chapel, with a stone carrying the inscription, In this tomb lies the body of Charles, the Great and Orthodox Emperor, who gloriously extended ...

... packing, firewood or ballast). By also assuming a long reign for Horemheb (29 years rather than 13) Dodson puts Akhenaten at 1324-1308. The long reign for Horemheb runs counter to Dodson's own objection to the attribution of substantial reigns on the basis of almost zero contemporary attestations (p . 16). Mazar and Finkelstein In this column I have previously reported the debate concerning Finkelstein's downdating of Israelite Iron Age strata by amounts of up to a century. Mazar has been Finkelstein's main critic but Mazar now seems to have adjusted to a position which incorporates the Jezreel evidence. Jezreel, thought to have been built by Ahab (874-853 BC) and destroyed by Hazael (c ...
496. A Review of Wells's Review of Sun, Moon, And Sothis [Journals] [Aeon]
... hits the start of another lunar month 59 days later. What lies between them? A 30-29, or a 29-30? With a device as simple as the 25-year table, there would be no clear answer- and that in itself might have been seen as ample enough reason for sticking to what could be handled, and leaving the intermediate columns blank. Wells's statement that I explain "tetrennia" and "quadrads" in the opening chapters is false. I never spoke of "tetrennia" or "quadrads"! Apparently Wells dreamed this up. Also false is Wells's claim that "Rose does not bother to list the month names in the Egyptian and Macedonian calendars." ...
497. L. Sprague de Camp: Anatomy of a Zetetic [Journals] [Kronos]
... 1950, Lost Continents of 1948-1954, and "Little Green Men from Afar" of 1976 (The Humanist) clearly reveals that fact. First, the "Book Review": A) In general, the entire piece is an audacious sham and hardly constitutes what one would call a meaningful book review. In the equivalent of seven full columns, spread over four pages, nearly 30% has nothing to do with Worlds in Collision. This is a typical sophomoric ploy- bury what you haven't really read in a debunking sideshow of extraneous material. B) As to that part of the "review" which does pertain to Velikovsky, you are incorrect on all counts; ...
498. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the lucid presentation of his ideas in what is a most interesting subject. In the third paper in this series, Mr Crew postulates that the noise of thunder does not simply result from the force with which the lightning channel expands due to its rapid increase in temperature, but that the primary agency may be the tremendous radial force which the column of positive ions in the channel exerts on its immediate environment, the more mobile electrons having drained from the channel. That thermal ionisation is a secondary agent seems very likely. What seems important also is that such circumstances should lead to the emission of energy in the ultraviolet range. Ultraviolet radiation is responsible for some of the ionisation of ...
499. The Evolution of the Bronze Age [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Beaker Folk remain a mystery. The lateness of Cornish tin and copper is surprising and more C14 dates might clear up this aspect. Renfrew's Fault Line' can be seen between Western and Eastern Europe but was crossed, first via the Danube and secondly by the Brenner and the Adriatic. * The dates given in the left-hand side of the columns in italics are the expected or conventional dates. A series of C14 dates is now available for Thera and presents a confusing picture. Dates on wood of 2157, 1630, 1546, 1509, 1494, 1482, 1457 & 1447 and on the bed of 1273 are possible, as wood is preserved for centuries in buildings in the ...

... those years. Concurrently, Ladurie, using rough data by Mueller concerning the quality of German wines during approximately the same period, demonstrates that the weather turned bad all over Western Europe. In the chart below, Ladurie's scoring system is:- 6 is good, 0 is average, + 6 is bad. The scores in the right-hand column represent the total points for each period (note that plus figures indicate bad quality and minus figures good quality. Also note particularly that bad quality wines approached a nadir in the period 1593-1602, the period in which Shakespeare was most active):(14) Decennary indices of bad quality of wine 1453-1462 30 1463-1472 -3 1473-1482 -34 1483-1492 ...
