... its religion stems from such archaic sky worship'. Interesting evidence is presented, including the original pattern as depicted on a Babylonian cuneiform tablet from 1800-1600BC and an early King Arthur story in which the Grail is described as a piece of precious green silk embroidered with a pattern of lines in gold threads. The obvious patterns to be seen are crosses, wheels and eyes and this particular grid pattern can be seen on many ancient structures throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Stories from the times of the Templars are also significant; when the Cathar fortress of Monsegur was being assailed their treasure was spirited away down vertical cliffs, as was that of the Templars when they heard ...
372. Unorthodox evidence from Mexico [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and burials were performed in a way unknown elsewhere in the Mayan region. The bricks are inscribed and, while claims that the inscriptions are of Old World scripts have not been verified and certainly do not include Roman script, many of them bear an uncanny resemblance to Roman masons' marks, especially those used in Britain. There were also crosses, a symbol common in the early Christian era but not in Mayan inscriptions. If true, then the site would date to 100-300AD, whereas the accepted date for its development into a major trade and ceremonial centre is around 700-900AD. This date is based upon the undoubted connection between Comalcalco and the centre at Palenque and the general consensus ...
373. Moderating the Middle Ages [Journals] [SIS Review]
... - an exercise in futility. The role of the Church Let us now consider the role he assigns the Church. Some time after the Crucifixion, Christianity had assimilated much of the pagan cults of the Roman empire; Hislop's The Two Babylons [4 ] is a classic work on the topic. Fomenko himself lists Purgatory, holy water, crossing oneself, mass, consecration wafer, host and communion bread as Mithraic items, the only difference between their use in that religion and in Catholicism being the centuries between the faiths in traditional chronology. Isis worship also included matins, vespers and liturgies. Pagan gods and heroes became saints. It is accepted that the medieval Church inherited much ...
374. SIS Study Group Meeting 16th October 1999 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... followed by a general discussion of Rohl's theory for the origins of the Egyptian dynastic era. Petrie in his History of Egypt had suggested that Egypt was united by a race with strong cultural links with Mesopotamia. These appeared to move into the Delta from the south. They probably arrived by boat on the shore of the Red Sea, and crossed the desert to arrive in middle Egypt. Arthur Weigal first found the petroglyphs depicting high-prowed boats being dragged across the desert around 1908 in the Eastern desert at Wadi Hammamat, and this may have led Petrie to suggest this route. Dynasty I was started by them after their conquest. Rohl disagrees with Petrie and has them arriving over two ...
375. Ramessides, Medes and Persians by Emmet J. Sweeney (Reviewed) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... are apparent. According to records in Luckenbill [1 ] Adad Nirari I claims to be the great grandson of Assuruballit who subjugated Musri. Sweeney has identified Assuruballit I, the Assyrian king who corresponded with Akhnaten', as Ashurnasirpal II, great great grandson of Adad Nirari under his scheme. On p. 31, in dealing with a cross match between Hatti and Lydia/Urartu (a concept I agree with reservedly) he claims: Such being the case, we might expect the Urartian king against whom Shalmaneser III waged war to be an alter ego of Suppiluliumas'. Yet elsewhere Shalmaneser III is given as the grandson of Suppiluliumas. Another error that I see is the ...
376. The Case for Retaining a Dark Age at the end of the Late Bronze Age. C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Bible is generally regarded as Cyprus, otherwise known as Kittim. In reality Caphtor was Cappadocia, indicating a large section of the Philistines were of Hittite and Cilician derivation. At the first event, in the late reign of Ramesses II, the Hittite state had collapsed into disarray - but survived. Large numbers of people from eastern Anatolia crossed the sea to Cyprus, merging with the Aegean refugees from Mycenaean Greece and presumably adopting LBIIC cultural attributes - such as pottery. They came with a great horde of refugees and their possessions and moved south through Syria into Palestine towards the border with Egypt. Ramesses III defeated them in SW Canaan and many of them were allowed to settle ...
377. The Hippopotamus. Ch.3 Uniformity (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... Sometime not long ago the climate of the British Isles was so warm that hippopotami used to visit there in summer; the British Isles subsided so much that caves in the hills became submerged; the land rose again to its present height-and all this without any action of a violent nature. Or was it, perchance, a mountain-high wave that crossed the land and poured into the caves and filled them with marine sand and gravel? Or did the ground submerge and then emerge again in some paroxysm of nature in which the climate also changed? Did the animals run away at the sign of the approaching catastrophe, and did the trespassing sea follow and suffocate them in the caves that ...
378. 1895 And 1950: The Time Was Ripe For A Heresy. Ch.17 Supplement (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... individual. I spent ten years on this work. I found that the collective memory of mankind spoke of a series of global catastrophes that occurred in historical times. I believed that I could even identify the exact times and the very agents of the great upheavals of the more recent past. The conclusions at which I arrived compelled me to cross the frontiers into various fields of science, archaeology, geology, and astronomy. The result was a book, a prolegomenon. In its concluding pages I conceded that more problems were raised than had been solved, and I promised, always reckoning with the limitations of the individual scholar, to pursue my study into these fields too. ...

... immensely more violent flows such as turbidity currents. In a sense, they are somewhat like landslides or snow avalanches, and these flow down their slopes in straight lines. However, Shepard pointed out that "Loop-like bends or meanders characterize the channels of rivers in their lower flood plains, but have never been found in the shallow channels that cross the alluvial fans at the base of mountain canyons. Therefore, it was surprising to find that the channel in a very deep submarine fan-valley of Monterey Bay, California, has a tight meander. "43 The turbidity current at the very bottom of the continental slope in the Monterey Bay canyon should be moving with its strongest force and ...
380. Plato. Ch.2 To Know And Not To Know (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... of Europe to the borders of Tyrrhenia...Afterwards there was a time of inordinate earthquakes and floods; there came one terrible day and night, in which all your men of war were swallowed bodily by the earth, and the island Atlantis also sank beneath the sea and vanished. Hence to this day that outer ocean cannot be crossed or explored, the way being blocked by mud, just below the surface, left by the settling down of the island.[12] Plato's words "a deviation of the bodies that revolve in heaven round the earth" as the cause of destructions occurring at long intervals need to be emphasised because they are usually overlooked. Innumerable ...
