... , is entirely chimerical. No literate civilisations, the evidence increasingly suggests, existed in Egypt, Mesopotamia, or anywhere else for that matter, before c. 1,000 BC. Yet even without challenging the chronology, a number of scholars have recently called into question the entire notion of Middle Eastern priority, especially in relation to the evolution of metal-working and metal-smelting techniques. Examining the development of metallurgical and glazing techniques with the eye of a specialist, the mineralogist John Dayton came to the conclusion that bronze manufacture was not a Levantine discovery at all but a European one: If we ignore the idée fixe of the superiority of the civilization of the Fertile Crescent we find that ...
632. Tuning in to Nature, by Philip S. Callahan (Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... wavelengths than we can and do, in fact, see the ultra-violet range that we cannot, and yet for the most part we obstinately continue to look at life from our own narrow point of view. Perhaps the worst thing that happened to biology was the advance in biochemistry. This led to reductionism and for a long time life and evolution have been thought of only in terms of chemicals and their functions. Fortunately several freer-minded biologists are scrambling out of that particular pond but this insightful book was a much earlier plea for taking a wider view. In relating the story of Tesla, the forgotten genius of electrical research, he points out the iniquities of establishment treatment of unorthodox ...

... on the other hand, are known primarily from Neo-Assyrian tablets recovered from the library of Ashurbanipal in seventh-century BC Nineveh, but can be shown to go back to the Old Babylonian era before the middle of the second millennium BC. Some contain still earlier material. ' Lenormant [3 ], about 100 years ago, spoke about a religious evolution' occurring in Sargon I's time, at the beginning of the Akkadian empire (about 2300 BC). Oldenburg [4 ] dated the mythology of the Ugaritic people in northern Syria to the same time: Although most (Ugaritic) mythological tablets, according to the colophons of several tablets, were inscribed .. . in the first ...
635. Pot Pourri [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . 13 are African and, of these, one clan alone populated the whole of the rest of the world. A common ancestor to all 33 clans, Mitochondrial Eve', can be traced back to c.150,000BC, supporting the Out of Africa' thesis where homo sapiens completely replaced homo erectus, rather than multi-regional' evolution of homo sapiens from the local homo erectus population. The tracer used is mitochondrial DNA, which passes unchanged through the female line. The 500-base control region' in this DNA experiences a random mutation roughly every 10,000yrs. These clan mothers' were not exceptional and lived within wider communities; their significance is that each produced multiple ...

... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2002:1 (Jul 2002) Home | Issue Contents Editor's Notes Various authors since Clube and Napier have raised the question of possible catastrophes in the AD period and in this issue Trevor Palmer and his son James review evidence form the 9th century. David Salkeld's musings about Genesis and evolution started life as an SIS Study Group report but I though it was too good to hide away at the back of the journal. We may return to some of his other work in this area. Trevor Palmer's articles about the AD Dark Ages have brought a lengthy response from a leading advocate of revising AD history, Heribert Illig, leading to long ...

639. Old World Maps -- A Response to Charles Ginenthal [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From antiquity, the beginning of spring has been placed at "the First Point of Aries," meaning the zodiac house of Aries (not the stellar constellation). Each of the zodiac houses is assigned 30 degrees. So, with twelve zodiac houses at 30 degrees each, a complete rotation is 360 degrees. Likewise, one complete evolution of the zodiac was 25,920 years (13)- equal to 2,160 years per "house." One of the problems which has deviled ancient and modern astronomers and mathematicians is that the original Babylonian, "First Point of Aries" was, for some reason, not placed at "zero" but at eight ...
640. The Origin Of Craters On The Moon And Large Lunar Boulders [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Boulders Charles Ginenthal The origin of craters on the Moon is presently accepted, by the majority of geophysicists and astronomers, to be the products of impacting bodies. D. E. Gault, et al., in 1975 stated that: "It is now firmly established that impact cratering has been a geologic process of primary significance in the evolution of all the terrestrial planets .. . and it is clear that a thorough understanding of cratering processes and formation is essential for gaining further insight into the early history and subsequent development of all the terrestrial planets."(1 ) The consensus of this supposedly "firmly established" concept has been disputed by this author.(2 ...
