... the Ancient World - KING-HELE (1974) stated: "This meeting was intended to help in building bridges between science and history .. . In the past many academic disciplines tended to become intellectual islands .. . This divisive insularity is still quite strong .. . but a major advance in science most often comes when a bright scientist crosses a bridge to another island and applies what may be old skills to throw new light on a new area." "The bright scientist in question would appear to be Dr Immanuel Velikovsky, who wrote three books against considerable opposition and, by his stubborn conviction, provided the wherewithal to recognise the key (the tippe top). ...
332. 2nd SIS Cambridge Conference Abstracts [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... separated by 2500-3000 years. It is suggested here that one such pair occurred in 3600-3500 and 3200-3100 BC, provoking the construction of the Great Cursus and Stonehenge I. From Stonehenge I, apparently the first construction at the famous site, as the comet neared the Earth it would have appeared to rise in the evening with a huge bright stripe crossing much of the sky, originating in the north-east. Passage through the trail would then result in celestial fireworks (and maybe worse); afterwards the comet and trail would have passed in the direction of the Sun, partially blocking sunlight for a few days. In order for terrestrial intersection to have occurred in that epoch (late fourth ...

334. The Erratic Descent of Man [Books]
... Hadar. AFAR REGION. Omo. Koobi Fora. Lake Turkana. Africa and Eurasia in Miocene Times There is evidence that Africa and Eurasia were once completely separated, but during the Miocene Epoch (about 17 million years ago) the coastlines were as shown [ref. 66] (solid lines), with land bridges allowing animals to cross in either direction. The strategic position of the Afar region, where early hominid fossils have been found, is clear. (The present day coastlines are shown as dotted lines). Illustration: J. Abery & D. Rohl] Proconsul survived to about 12 Myr ago, but from the Middle Miocene onwards there were an increasing ...
335. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . Emmet J.Sweeney, Londonderry, Northern Ireland Solar Companions Dear Sir, In a letter to the Editor appearing in WORKSHOP 1986 No.1 Dwardu Cardona asks me where I got certain ideas. I had said (in a letter to the Editor in WORKSHOP 5:3 ) that in the past, the Sun was believed to cross the sky in a boat, and that traditions of several nations said that it was accompanied by two wolves. I must apologise for being careless. I should have stated my sources. Now that I scrutinise them I find that they do not tell exactly what I said. There is an Icelandic tradition of two wolves, but for ...

... appropriate than the sun and moon for the ceremonies at the dead of the year. (It is a curious coincidence that I. Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision . . . suggests that Venus was born' in the first half of the second millennium BC around 1500 BC, a stupendous prodigy in the sky' . . . whose orbit crossed the orbit of the earth and endangered it every fifty years' . . . and that the dramatic emergence of the planet caused consternation over all the world". Dr Burl's book is a comprehensive account of the architectural features and archaeological investigations at all the British sites with special emphasis on Stonehenge and Avebury. The sites are discussed individually ...

... to the location on one version of the Zeno map of a fiord marked Ollum Lengri-Lengri, longest of all.... "Coming almost as an anticlimax to Victor's confirmation of the accuracy of the Zeno map, a later development strengthened this confirmation. When I asked Victor to explain the presence of a single mountain in the flat area crossing Greenland, he showed me his soundings, which proved the mountain' to be an island!" [14] Although the weight of the Greenland ice cap has submerged most of the central and western part of the island below sea level, the ice above still rests on the subsurface land and seismic sounding will still show the topographic ...
338. Saturn's Cosmos [Books]
... caused halo around the sun)? Or does it stand for "the circle of the sky"? Some commentators suggest that the outer circle is itself the sun, leaving open the question of the meaning of the enclosed dot. (2 ) Similarly, in evaluating the sign , the experts cannot agree whether the four arms of the cross denote rays of the sun or four quarters of the world. It is also said that the four arms depict spokes of an imagined sun wheel rolling across the sky each day. Is it necessary to point out that these differences of opinion immediately throw into question the common claim that the signs are natural solar emblems? So long as ...
339. Radiation and the Paleontological Record - The Stroboscopic Model [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... "evolutionary jumps." This model will at the same time account for the rarity of the major evolutionary breaks which is inconsistent with the mere correlation with magnetic reversals, the latter occurring much too frequently. It, is now known that cosmic radiation is not constant but reaches peaks during major solar flares and possibly also as the Earth's path crosses radiation clouds originating from a nearby Supernova. On the other hand the currently popular hypothesis sees the Earth's magnetic field collapse from time to time. Figure 1. A schematic view of the Stroboscopic Model. Cosmic radiation will affect the evolution of terrestrial life, but only if a radiation peak coincides with a magnetic window. Current knowledge does ...

... . He dwells in it as the pupil of the all-seeing Eye. The same band receives mythical interpretation as Saturn's throne, a receptacle of cosmic waters, and an encircling serpent. Four primary streams of light appeared to radiate from Saturn, dividing the Saturnian band into quarters. The symbols of these four streams are the sun-cross and enclosed sun cross . Mythically, these are the four rivers of the lost paradise, the four winds, and the four pillars of Saturn's Cosmos. The enclosed sun-cross is thus the universal image of the "unified state" on our earth, for every terrestrial "holy land" was a copy of the ideal kingdom above. The same records which ...
