... . Middle-East (Science Frontiers, No. 153, May-Jun 2004, p. 1; Times of Oman, 31.12.03; Gulf News, 8.12.03; Current World Archaeology, No. 3, Jan/Feb 2004, p.6 ) In north-east Saudi Arabia there are around 50 clusters of stone columns up to 10 ft. high. They apparently date from 5,500 years ago, but there are no obvious signs of ritual or astronomical purposes. Dating from around the same period is a group of stone houses found on the island of Marawah at Abu Dhabi, denoting a sizeable community which was probably trading by sea with Mesopotamia ...
592. Catastrophism and the Mammoths - I (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... on Earth came as a great surprise, especially since such an obviously Saturn-myth-oriented event has never, to my knowledge, been mentioned in print by Velikovskians or any of the practicing Saturnists. Although in 1973 W. Mullen wrote about the Pyramid Texts in Pensee IVR III, he did not indicate an awareness of this supernova. Considering that O'Neill's column is over 30 years old, it would appear that the Saturnists have missed a most relevant datum. In KRONOS VII:3 , it may have been acceptable for Cardona to have treated the Vela X supernova, which appeared on the horizon in Mesopotamia, as a subsequent evocation of the primordial polar Saturn explosion. However, the location ...
593. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ). Greek pottery in this period looks to the Levant for dating fixes, and Coldstream's charts on p. 254 show that the conventional Levantine chronology results in a very stretched Middle Geometric period of c. 200 years; a similar problem to the distortion which Levantine dates cause for the Cypriot pottery sequence (see Centuries of Darkness, left columns of Table 7:1 , p. 158). Coldstream's article appeared to go against Mazar but Mazar responded in a new article in IEJ (2004, pp. 24-36). He no longer uses conventional orthodox chronology for the Iron Age IIA period but an "extended conventional chronology" with Iron IIA dated c. 980-840/ ...

... ) have a tendency to pinch; i.e ., to concentrate into filaments and not flow homogeneously. This is one of the reasons why cosmic plasmas so often exhibit filamentary structures. (5 ) The inevitable conclusion from phenomena (1 ) through (4 ) above is that homogeneous models are often inapplicable. Striation in the positive column of a glow discharge and filamentary structures (arc and discharge lightning at atmospheric pressure, auroral rays, coronal streamers, prominences, etc.) are typical examples of inhomogeneities. Nature does not always have a horror vacui but sometimes a horror homogeneitatis resulting in an amor vacui. [References can be found at the Web site]. ...

... a later insertion anyway." But the year-name must have been added when the data of Years 8b and 16b became mixed up (see KRONOS II:2 , Fall 1976, p. 23). Surely that mistake must have happened comparatively early in the history of the text? If the astronomical data were originally set out in parallel columns, as Rose and Vaughan suggest to explain how the error might have arisen, that could only have been before it was rearranged in the pattern which we know today. Moreover, it is not necessary to assume that a scribe deduced the reign of Ammisaduqa from the fact that the record seemed to cover twenty-one years. There could have ...

597. Ancient Near Eastern Chronology Revised [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... of the little graphic reproduced at the beginning of this article and restructuring it as in Figure 2 below: [* !* Figure 2] Figure 2. MODERN STRATIGRAPHY. The accepted generalized archeological stratigraphy. It should be understood by now what is done by modern archeologists. They commit two major unscholarly offenses: First, to reach the column at the right they do not add truly different stratigraphical horizons. On the contrary, they use the same stratigraphical horizons several times by christening them differently in different sites. For example, the pre-Hellenist B's which always immediately precede the A's appear in conventional chronology only once as B, whereas they pop up two more times as E and ...
598. Velikovsky's "The Dark Age of Greece" [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... it was possible that "this same area was later covered over with almost purely Mycenaean debris?" The temple, he reasoned, could not be Greek but must, instead, be a "reconstruction carried out toward the end of the Mycenaean period after the destruction of the palace by fire." He denied the significance of a Doric column found during the excavation of the temple. Archeologist Karl Müller concluded that the difference of opinions was irreconcilable. Again and again, modern archeology was confronted by chronological problems in the history of Greece. The Dictaean Cave on Crete yielded Late Minoan (Mycenaean) artifacts clearly linked by style to the geometric period in Greece. Similar links exist ...

... within the proper scheme of metaphysical presuppositions. What Shapley had in mind was the dogma of the absolute stability of the solar system [52]. Velikovsky forced the scientists to become well aware that proof of this postulate does not exist. Scores of reviews were remarkable for the violence of expression and the jejune poverty of the contents. Often columns of denunciation were not followed by a single argument. The case of Harrison Brown is a good example of those who proclaimed that they had peremptory arguments galore, but did not submit a single one. Only a few scientists of note showed a spirit of scholarly cooperation by providing friendly criticism and additional information. Among them were W. ...

... is partly of extra-terrestrial origin. Pathogenic microorganisms live on Mars. MOON Traces of water exist on the moon. Iron, sulfur, and molecular oxygen (bound in the lunar rocks) exist on the moon. JUPITER Jupiter is an electrically charged planet. Jupiter possesses sulfur, iron and gold. Jupiter's red spot is a tornado (Taylor column) over a hole which was the place of Venus' birth. Jupiter's core has a high temperature. Jupiter possesses organic molecules. Jupiter's electrical charge explains why its equator rotates more swiftly than the rest of the planet. SATURN Saturn contains (or consists of) water. Saturn possesses molecular chlorine. Saturn emits X-rays and/or ...
