... however, strands of silk have been found in the hair of a mummy from Egypt's 21st dynasty, conventionally dated from 1069 to 945 BC. Ancient Mexico National Geographic November 1993, pp. 88-115 and February 1994, geographica The Olmec culture was Mesoamerica's first civilization, beginning 3000 years ago. They built large pyramids, made basalt statues and columns, including nine foot high heads, built elaborate tombs and ritual centres with plazas in which were played a ceremonial ball game and followed a jaguar cult. They are regarded as the mother culture of the later Aztec and Maya. San Lorenzo, in the Olmec heartland in Mexico, is the earliest of the large Olmec centres found so ...

... analysis... ', which I assume means he is writing it up to accompany his PEQ paper. I await the ensuing debate with Bienkowski et al. with great interest to see if they can pick holes in all this! Erratum C. Leroy Ellenberger requests we correct a typing error in Review XIV, p. 41, column 2, line 12. The Leonid meteor shower referred to in this line was in November 1833, not 1883. Some Concluding Remarks - from the editor I would like to take this opportunity to formally thank all those who contributed to our Forum discussion spread over two issues of the Review. It is to be hoped that the debate ...
673. Thoth Vol II, No. 17: Oct 31, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... explanation is entertained, should we not apply it also to those remarkably similar instances in which NATURAL features - mountains, gullies, ridges, canyons, and rivers were identified with the former activity of giants? In northern Ireland there is the famous CLOCHAN AN AIFIR, the "Giant's Causeway". It is constituted by huge hexagonal, basaltic columns, formed from the cooling of lava, and reaching as high as 200 feet or so. Native tradition claimed that these were built by a race of giants as a means of crossing the Irish Sea. In fact this kind of motif is quite common and was attached to the natural formation called the "Bridge of the Gods" ...
674. Revelation and Catastrophe during the Christian Era: a Basis for Historical Interpolation and Future Extrapolation. [Journals] [SIS Review]
... fourth century: those who direct attention to the end of the world invite dispute over its nature and disappointment over its timing'. Figures 3. (a ) left, (b ) right. Combined monthly (a ) and annual (b ) variations of the fireball flux during the last two millennia, based on Chinese records. Column (b ) shows the recorded total flux (i ), the interpolated interpeak flux (ii), together with the inferred peak fluxes (iii) as a result of the rectification and normalisation of (i ) based on (ii) representing an intrinsically constant flux. The calibration is at best only approximate and takes no account ...
675. A Test of Time: Volume I the Bible - From Myth to History by David M. Rohl [Journals] [SIS Review]
... provides some additional breathing space for Rohl's chronology but not much. Perhaps of even greater long term significance was the article in the same issue by Anthony Rees ( 'Artificially structured chronologies'), which gives a fascinating preview of his forthcoming book Cabbalistic Chronology. In examining the biblical chronology of the kingdom of Judah, he showed that the columns showing age at accession and length of reign came in total to the same length of 392 years. He argued that these totals were partly factual and partly symbolic and surmised that as many as one third of the reigns may have been symbolic and/or cyclical in duration and were therefore non-factual. For the Old Testament as a whole ...
676. Towards an astronomical dating of the pyramids [Journals] [SIS Review]
... .0 ( -4.0 ) 145.4 ( -0.8 ) 050.3 (+ 6.9 )( -0.7 ) 042.6 (+ 10.0 )( -0.8 ) The figures in brackets show the deviation of the sky bearing from the associated map bearing. The two columns headed ** show the deviations which result when it is assumed that the Egyptians mistakenly allocated the map bearing of 043.4 to Chephren-Cheops when it should have been allocated to Mycerinus-Chephren. The other notes on Table 1 also apply to this table. The reason for not quoting any data for Epoch 2500 BC is given in the main ...
677. Catastrophes in the period 5th cent. BC to 14th cent. AD [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Marginal lands in western Europe, such as the Massif Central, were abandoned and the Black Death took its toll on the overpopulated countryside. Simon of Cavino listed portents that heralded the arrival of the Black Death, including strange mists and thick clouds, falling stars (meteors), blasts of hot wind, balls of fire, a column of fire and the usual earthquakes and tremors (at Venice for instance). In China there was a series of disasters. In 1333 drought and famine in the plains fed by the rivers Hoai and Kiang were followed by floods which killed half a million people. There was earthquake and collapsing mountainsides (see Peter James [25] ...

... thought but had an unfortunate preoccupation with castration images in some of the myths) asked: Why is there a constant emphasis on dismemberment, on the dying god? Dwardu Cardona Continued from p. 55 answered that the story of Osiris must have described the falling apart of the configuration when the different components went their own way. The polar column, the axis mundi was considered the virile member of the god. Ev Cochrane added that we have the myth of the lamenting goddess who searches the world looking for her lost consort; she is always described with super-long hair. Mourning rites all over the world, featuring weeping women with long-flowing or loosened hair and tearing their hair and ...
679. The Genesis of Israel and Egypt by Emmett Sweeney [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the upheavals' and the Exodus, because the vast tectonic movements and tidal waves described in the pessimistic literature and the Exodus' would have shattered even the mighty 4th Dynasty pyramids. Is there any evidence which says that all the temples, which are much less stable than pyramids, collapsed - and why was Djoser's pyramid and its modern looking columned halls left unscathed? These points do not, of course, negate the validity of the identifications in his subsequent chapters. I think there are real Egyptian chronology problems around three key issues: the date of the three largest and best built pyramids, the accession as explained in Papyrus Harris of Ramesses III, of whom, apparently, ...
680. Viva Lamarck: Renewed Discussion on the Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics [Journals] [Aeon]
... seal. Most mammals, upon taking to the water on a temporary basis, swim by arching their necks and throwing back their heads thereby aligning the nostrils, eyes, and ears above the water level. To attain this position it is necessary that the cervical region of the spine become bent backwards producing a convex curve of the animal's cervical column on its ventral side. Dogs customarily assume this posture whenever they take to water; seals assume it on a permanent basis. Upon noting the overwhelming probability that seals descended from terrestrial mammals, Jones offers the following analysis of their peculiar skeletal structure: It is natural to assume that, at the very outset of their departure from normal ...
