... the head of the Sphinx and these so-called Olmec heads (which can weigh up to 60 tons each). Of course African people are not supposed to have been present in the New World until the time of Columbus. These heads come from the oldest archaeological strata of Central America, about 1500 BC but I am not convinced by this dating - they may be much older than that. There is a real problem with the dating of stone monuments by looking at organic material buried in the same strata as the monuments and then dating the organic material by carbon-dating, concluding that the monument dates from the same period. This is quite faulty in logic: it would be like ...
302. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... H.Shubin have made a quite remarkable find. Evidently there was a great profusion of bones, "sticking out all over the place", and the collection included those of dinosaurs, crocodiles, lizards, sharks and primitive fish, as well as those of the Trilethodonts, the reptiles closest on the evolutionary scale to mammals. They date from 200 million years ago, or approximately at the boundary between the Triassic and Jurassic periods. "The scientists said the new findings point to a catastrophic extinction right at the Triassic-Jurassic boundary - such as an asteroid hitting the earth - that wiped out more than 40 percent of the land and lake animals of that time." This ...
303. Centuries of Darkness? - the reviewers reviewed [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Third Intermediate Period) can be achieved, and here Dodson is skeptical. He cites only one piece of evidence' - some recent fieldwork on the Tanis tomb complex - against the overlapping of the 21st and 22nd Dynasties. But Dodson is in favour of the idea of some small chronological adjustments, e.g . a reduction in the dates for Ramesses II of about 50 years (publication forthcoming). The rather longer review of Centuries of Darkness which appears in the editorial section of the same issue of PEQ appears to be another case of the editor rectifying the omissions of his reviewer. G. Davies refers readers to other published reviews of the book, citing in particular ...
304. Review: A Bronze Age Disaster. Exodus to Arthur: Catastrophic encounters with comets, by M.G.L. Baillie [Journals] [SIS Review]
... possible, given that the impact of material from streams of cometary debris can cause tectonic upheavals. However he assumes that he can deduce global effects from growth anomalies in Irish oaks. In the past he has warned against the tendency for well-dated events to suck in' those that are not [1 ], yet he merrily uses his Irish dates to rewrite Bronze and Iron Age history, from Greece to China and back again. Most of the book is composed of ideas which should have been retired long ago, such as the idea that scientific methods' have dated the eruption of Thera to c. 1628 BC. The Thera bandwaggon is rolled out again, with everything chucked ...
305. Metallurgy and Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... standpoint, and pulls no punches in revealing its faults: ". .. archaeology in the Near East has built up a card-house of interrelated "facts" by the stylistic comparison of artefacts from one area to the next, each system building upon the flimsy evidence of the past - often, indeed, on a single find of doubtful date and stratigraphy, as with the cylinder seal from Platanos of the Old Babylonian period. Unfortunately, the myths in this vast corpus are almost self-perpetuating while providing rich pastures for studies in minutiae. Few have had the courage or time, or for that matter the overall knowledge, with the "Quasi-science" split into so many specialised compartments ...
306. Poleshift [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... maintained, there was a poleshift [with a great, sudden, tectonic, crustal shift] which ended the Ice Age 8,500 years ago, and another which created the present climatic regime about 3,500 and 2,800 years ago, fundamental forms of evidence should syste-matically support this conclusion. If the period of the hipsithermal dates between 8,500 and 3,500 B.P ., is in agreement with this claim, then meteorological evidence related to atmospheric wind patterns and rainfall should be systematically and symmetrically arranged on Earth to support this poleshift concept. Phytogeography, or plant geography, related to the new climatic regime, should also be systematically and symmetrically ...
307. "America B.C." and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... . 86-88), but the reviewer, Roger W. Wescott, failed to point out two pieces of epigraphic evidence in (unwitting) support of Velikovsky's revised chronology. The first is the Pontotoc stele (see p. 159), a bilingual Iberian Punic/Ogam Punic version of the "Hymn to the Aten", which Fell dates to ca. 800 B.C . on the basis of the script.* The other is the Davenport stele (see pp. 261-269), a trilingual Egyptian hieroglyphic/Iberian Punic/Libyan description of the Djed festival, of which Fell has this to say- "The date is unlikely to be earlier than about 800 ...

... and his rituals), what he has made (his monuments and his symbolic art-forms), and what he has said (his myths and his annals). Two specific methods stand out in Velikovsky's effort to order this material. The first is chronological: to extract from the great mass of human testimony all those elements that can be dated and to synchronize them. The second method is interpretative: to extract common elements describing a given real event from all the varying patterns of significance which different cultures have assigned to it. This second method has consistently been the stumbling-block for his critics, and it is probable that only a patient elaboration of it by many hands in many ...
... and srasti from su, "well", and as "to be." Srasti occurs frequently in the Veda, both as a noun in the sense of happiness, and as an adverb in the sense, of "well" or "hail!" It corresponds to the Greek word. The derivation of Srasti-ka is of later date, and it always means an auspicious sign, such as are found most frequently among Buddhists and Jainas. M. Eugene Burnouf3 defines the mark Swastika as follows: A monogrammatic, sign of four branches, of which the ends are curved at right angles, the name signifying, literally, the sign of benediction or good augury, ...
