... glorious a stately statue of the divinity. It is well to take this opportunity of emphasising the transition from the Egyptian form of temple to the Greek one, in order to show how completely among many apparent changes the astronomical conditions were retained. The entrance door and the cella are always in the axis of the temple; the number of columns in the front is always even; the door is never blocked. The East Front of the Parthenon, Facing the Rising of the Pleiades I have already pointed out that in both groups of Egyptian temples, whether furnished with a pylon or not, one goes from the entrance to the other end, which held the. sanctuary, ...
503. "As Above, So Below" Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Straight-Line Phenomena [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Hawaii, one of which [Matina Loa] is 10,000 feet higher than the other [Kilauea] and yet liquid lava emerges more frequently and in greater quantity from the higher opening, or its subsidiaries, than from the lower. .. .. If these two outlets were connected with a common liquid interior, the lava column in the higher conduit would be pressing for discharge at the lower opening, not at the higher, and with a pressure of the order of magnitude of a thousand atmospheres upon every square inch of its area. .. .. If a volcano is assumed to be a slowly cooling system maintained by residual heat from a local hot ...
504. A Failed Excursion to the Caves of Aquitaine [Books] [de Grazia books]
... we have ridden hundreds of miles, inspected 3 caves (I have gone into Lascaux today), 4 sites, 22 cuts, and spotted a number of caves, sites and cuts from the halted or moving bus. In addition we have visited three museums. Sets and trays of paleolithic or later artifacts march through my head in silent columns. The people of the group are of greater interest, what they say, who they are. It is pathetic, in a way, to watch the paleolithic age scholar with his or her miserable accumulations of evidence and desperate concentration as if by specialization on the edge of a blade one can pierce the gloom of the birth of ...
505. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of Persian period archaeology in Babylon. Heinsohn wrote .. . According to German excavators, there is one area in Babylon's southern fortification ( 'Sudburg') where the so-called Old Palace' ( 'Alte Palast') shares one of its courtyard walls with a small Persian mansion ( 'Ideiner Bau'), which has typical Persian columns as well as tiles that not only covered the new mansion, but also the wall it shares with the Old Palace. The date of the Old Palace is unknown. Koldewey favoured [the time of] Nabopolassar (late 7th century). The tiles are definitely Susa style, actually an import from Susiana. They resemble Nebukadnezar's' ...

... forgotten that structures more or less similar to Stonehenge are found along a line from the east on both sides of the Mediterranean. [6 ] Stonehenge, from the North It will be seen that the use of the marking stone to indicate the direction in which the sun will rise answers exactly the same purpose as the long avenue of majestic columns and pylons in the Egyptian temples. In both cases we had a means of determining the commencement and the succession of years. Stonehenge restored Hence, just as surely as the temple of Karnak once pointed to the sun setting at the summer solstice, the temple at Stonehenge pointed nearly to the sun rising at the summer solstice. Stonehenge ...

... as the dominant element of a chariot wheel depicted on a silver beaker from Hasanlu (8 ). By the time of the Achaemenid empire, the rosette motif was so prevalent on the walls of the Persian palace at Persepolis (6th-5th centuries BC) that instances numbered in the thousands (9 ). 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 BC. Furthermore, a rosette pattern, extremely similar to the ones that are shown on the ...
508. James Hutton: A Non-inductive, Theological Catastrophist [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... had existed prior to and during the time in which Charles Lyell lived. This school was represented by such eminent figures in science as Georges Cuvier, the father of paleontology, and Louis Agassiz, the discoverer of the Ice Ages. Other notables of this school were Adam Sedgewick, William Buckland and Roderick Murchison, whose contributions explained the stratigraphical column. Like his predecessors, one of the most outspoken of the catastrophists, Henry H. Horworth, maintained that, in the age of man, the Earth had experienced a global catastrophe which destroyed the megafauna. Each of these scientists had done extensive geological field work and reported their evidence as support for their conclusion that the Earth had ...

... met in Princeton. A very long list of papers was scheduled. The new discovery was presented to the meeting because of its importance, though it was not scheduled, having been made only a few weeks earlier.

"Radio waves from the giant planet Jupiter have been detected by astronomers at the Carnegie Institution in Washington... No radio sounds from the planets in our solar system have been reported previously... The existence of the mysterious ...

... [the ankh ]; this, in its turn, is supported by the pillar which symbolizes the tree-trunk which contained the dead body of Osiris. ' "( 14) In a footnote, the editor of KRONOS added another quote from Budge plus a comment of his own: " The ankh rests upon the top of the Tet [column], which rests upon a reed mat. The Tet represents Osiris, who was, in one respect, the dead sun of yesterday . . . ' Velikovsky identifies Osiris with the planet Saturn."(15) The symbolism in all this is unmistakable. Apart from the editor's reminder that Osiris is to be identified as Saturn ...
