... academic archeologists, who hold that such alignments are illusory, and amateur antiquarians, who spend a great deal of time in search of them. Statisticians, however, support the amateurs- at least to the extent of agreeing that the chances of seven-point leys being accidental are only one out of a thousand. Though one tradition calls them "dragon paths," it is unlikely that the leys were ever human paths, since they frequently cross steep hills and wide bogs. What, then, were they? Hitching suggests that they were power lines of some sort. Most of the menhirs exhibit electro-magnetic anomalies of a magnitude hundreds of times in excess of the normal surface fluctuations detected ...

243. Sea Level Changes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is catastrophism captured in a broken mould, mute testimony of paroxysms in nature - but is it evidence of internal pressures in the earth, or is there a cosmic dimension? A piece of comet hitting one part of the earth could have caused volcanism and earthquakes in other parts and possibly even crustal movements. In other words, worms and dragons (comets and meteors) may have influenced plate movements as recently as the 6th century AD. Rising sea level in the North Sea, originally the flood plain of the river Rhine and its tributaries, has affected all sides of the basin. In the Netherlands for instance, land reclamation and sea defence systems are important, as more ...
244. Beowulf, or Moving Heaven and Earth [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... @mail.telepac.pt> With your interest in (and the gradually increasing respectability of) possible impact events in historical time, you might like to consult an expert on the Anglo Saxon epic poem Beowulf. After the hero Beowulf deals with the monster Grendal and then Grendal's mother, the poem ends with an unpleasant encounter with a dragon which contains some very suggestive imagery - fire from the sky etc etc. I read it 30 years ago when I tried to learn Anglo Saxon but it was serialised on the BBC World Service last week. ...
245. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is still apparent today. In North America, even earlier (starting around 4,000 years ago) Native Americans mined gypsum from deep within the huge Mammoth cave in Kentucky. The gypsum was probably used as a paint base, being perceived as having magical powers, and was part of a huge trade network. Reality of the mythical Dragon ships Scientific American Feb. 98, pp. 46-53 Sceptical scholars dismissed the descriptions of huge Viking longships in the Norse sagas as mythical, but the discovery of a Viking longship near Copenhagen justifies the sagas. It is the longest ever found, being 35 metres long, and has been tree ring dated to 1025AD. Fleets of these ...
246. The Pageants Of The Sky, Part 2 Mars Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... "a star flared up and its light radi ated bright as day, and as it blazed, it lashed its tail like an angry scorpion."3 If it was not this particular appearance of a comet that caused the constellation to be called Scorpion, there must have been a similar occurrence on another date. Another example is the dragon. All around the world this image is prominent in literature and art and also in the religion of peoples. There is probably no nation that does not use this symbol or this creature as an important motif, yet it does not exis t. Several scholars thought that possibly it represented some extinct menace that impressed mankind to a much ...

... if it was three cubits long. 838. The winter was wet and windy, and on 21 January thunder was heard, just as on 18 February loud thunder could be heard. And the excessive heat of the sun scorched the earth, and there were earthquakes in some parts of the land, and fire in the shape of a dragon was seen in the air. In that year a wicked heresy arose. In the same year a great peal of thunder was heard on the fifth night before the birth of our Lord, and lightning was seen, and the distress and misfortune of men grew daily in many ways. 839. On 26 December an immense whirlwind arose ...

... rushed to the scene to corroborate the vision are rare. Even were such to occur, the new (and probably negative) evidence would have to be dismissed on grounds that the preparation for objective identification would necessarily incapacitate the team to share the experience. If the two people had seen a monster in the Sewanee River and called it a dragon and the team had hastened in with cameras and nets, an alligator of a certain size might be captured and the vision placed upon a firm scientific footing. It would not be surprising, then, if the original viewers claimed an improper identification, insisting that the wrong creature had been snared. Whereupon psychologists would once more be called ...

The ancient myth of the dying god, whose "death" and "resurrection" gave rise to annual New Year's festivals still, celebrated today.
