... successful. I am zealous about this action, nor am I solicitous what I may myself undergo; for I can not at leisure to consider the dangers that may come upon myself, so deeply am I troubled at the slavery our once free country is now under, and at the contempt cast upon our excellent laws, and at the destruction which hangs over all men, by the means of Caius. I wish that I may be judged by thee, and that thou mayst esteem me worthy of credit in these matters, seeing we are both of the same opinion, and there is herein no difference between us." 10. When Minucianus saw the vehemency with which ...
762. Thera and the Exodus: the Cause and the Effect [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the remaining bulk of the island. Any wave created by such an enormous explosion would disperse its initial energy negotiating a reversal of direction from westwards to eastwards, before passing through the narrow straits and spreading into the open Mediterranean Sea. There is every reason to believe that a tsunami from Thera would reach Egypt, but considerable doubt concerning its destructive ability - i.e ., to run up over a shelving shoreline with sufficient force to sweep away horses, men and chariots, to drown in the shallow lagoon at the proposed sites described below. The Exodus site of Dr Goedicke is described as north of Port Said', being 85 km west of Dr Galanopoulos's site at ...
763. Stories of Radioactivity and Mutations [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of any other explanation for the ark's source of electrical charge, Kjellson pointed out other circumstantial reasons for suggesting that the ark, or something else associated with the Tabernacle, contained a radioactive source. Symptoms which may be recognised as radiation poisoning are described in several passages. One vivid account was recorded by Josephus: "God sent a very destructive disease upon the city and country of Ashdod, for they died of the dysentery or flux .. . very suddenly. They brought up their entrails, and vomited up what they had eaten, and what was entirely corrupted by the disease. The people of Ashdod perceived that they suffered thus because of the ark. .. . ...
764. Radiocarbon Dating: An Archaeological Perspective [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... will find Radiocarbon Dating: An Archaeological Perspective to be a gold mine of information. Let me give some examples. 1. I am quite certain that the Mycenaeans' are Greeks from archaic, classical and later times. Yet all but a few of the radiocarbon measurements made on material from Thera are claimed to support the dating of its destruction to the mid-2nd millennium BC. I have long suspected that these early radiocarbon results were the result of some sort of systematic error connected with old carbons being emitted by the volcano that destroyed Thera. Therefore, imagine my interest when I came across the following discussion by Taylor: "Terrestrial reservoir effects have also been noted in regions where ...
765. The Sign and the Seal by Graham Hancock [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... (originally 9) Knights established themselves on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and started excavations. What were they looking for? According to Baigent et al. to whose book, strangely enough, Hancock does not refer (though the publishers do on the dust cover) it was the Temple treasure, thought to have been hidden prior to the destruction by Titus in 70 AD, or possibly hidden by Jeremiah in 598 BC. Hancock believes they were looking for the Ark of the Covenant. Whatever they did or did not find, there is no doubt that in the course of the next two centuries they became extremely rich and powerful, with connections all over Europe and beyond. ...
766. The Autumn Meeting [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Egypt. A full cycle of 9 such periods was the Sothic cycle, with no reference to astronomical dating, and again leads back to origins at 3103/3102 BC. In quite a few specialised situations in the Bible, 600' means escape or flight into rebirth, and another oriental dating system was based on such a cycle of destruction and regeneration. Noah's deluge was placed in such a context. The 430 years between Abraham and Moses denotes a legal covenant between two unequal elements, such as God and man. Such numbers, though artificial constructs, have been taken literally in some chronologies. 23 is the number of sacrifice and is involved in the myth of Abraham ...
767. The 'Cosmic Winter', Gildas... and St Patrick [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of the world but the Lord's flock too and its pastors. God became desirous to cleanse his family defiled by evil things' (such as the Pelagian heresy) and there came, like the winged flight of rumour, not unfamiliar to them, into the listening ears of all - that their OLD ENEMIES had already arrived, bent upon destruction and upon dwelling in the country as had become their wont . . . '. This is a specific reference to Irish and Pictish raiding parties returning after a period of quiescence. It is at this stage he mentions pestilence but he quotes Proverbs 24:19, which reads, fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be ...
768. The Myth of the Goddess, Evolution of an image by Anne Baring and Jules Cashford [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... stage we are aware of the authors' main message. They see this period as a watershed in the history of the earth mother goddess, a time when a belief in the wholeness of life under the auspices of the goddess of life, death and regeneration is disrupted by the advent of Aryan and Semitic invasions which brought with them the destructive male gods of war. These male gods are seen as sky gods, as the written records make it difficult to escape the conclusion that many of them are associated with the planets, though there is no pause for thought as to why these should be worshipped. As these patriarchal cultures took over, with human sacrifice as a response ...
769. The MacCecht and Cuchulainn [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the sky. Michael Dames (Mythic Ireland, Thames and Hudson, 1992, p. 120) claims the Laigin is an old name for the people of the province of Leinster (which includes Dublin) and its etymology derives from Laigen = a spear'. Dames is convinced the spear is a benevolent sunbeam but an analogy with the destructive spear or sword of the MacCecht and Cuchulainn seems more exact - the meteoric remains of a fragmented comet, the Leotids, Perseids, the Taurids and various other meteor streams. Irish folk tale relates how the Laigin came across the sea out of the darkness (the sky) to conquer the night (bring light). The Laigen ...

... when it hardened. Also, heated sand, turning into a viscous substance on its way to becoming hardened glass, could receive and preserve imprints. The vestiges could also remain in muddy, unheated ground that was soon covered by lava which filled in the imprints and later disintegrated on being weathered away. In historical times, in the volcanic destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum lava and volcanic ashes filled the wheel tracks in the streets of these cities and thus preserved them to our day. In the eruption of Kilauea in Hawaii in 1790, when many people lost their lives, and with them a brigade of the Hawaiian army, the footprints of trapped humans and animals were retained in ...
