... uncover suddenly the universe of thought which remained hidden to generations of modern Africanists. The great merit of Ernst Cassirer lies in his tracing the existence of "symbolic forms" from the past in the midst of historic culture. Who but he should have been able to discern the lineaments of archaic myth? Yet he remained blinded by condescension. Evolution, a brilliant biological idea of our own past, construed into a universal banality, held him in thrall. He could not follow up his insight because of the fatal confusion which has established itself between biological time, the time of evolution, and the time of mankind. The time of man, in which he has lived the ...

773. The Ivory Islands. Ch.1 In the North (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... Before presenting many more from all parts of the world, I shall review a few dominant theories on the history of our earth and its animal kingdom. We shall read in brief, in the original statements of the authors, how the earlier naturalists explained the phenomena; how, subsequently, the same phenomena were interpreted in terms of slow evolution; and how in the last fourscore years more and more facts have presented themselves that do not square with the picture of a peaceful world moulded in a slow and uneventful process. Notes. 1. Observation of D. F. Hertz, in B. Digby, The Mammoth (1926), p. 9. 2. ...

... grow in polar regions? What caused volcanic activity on a great scale in the past and lava flows on land and in the ocean beds? What caused earthquakes to be so numerous and violent in the past? Puzzlement, despair, and frustration are the only answers to each and every one of these phenomena. The theories of uniformity and evolution maintain that the geological record bears witness that from time immemorial, even from the time this planet began its existence, only minute changes-caused by the wind blowing on the rocks, the sand grains swimming to the sea, accumulated into vast changes. These causes, however, are inadequate to explain the great revolutions in nature, and they ...
775. Aeon Volume III, Number 1: Contents [Journals] [Aeon]
... and to foster a wider debate as to the interpretation of new data. AEON will pursue an interdisciplinary approach. In addition to providing a service to researchers in catastrophist studies, we offer the general reader the possibility of sharing in exciting discovery. AEON is not an institutional journal with a finished product. The papers presented here are still in evolution, looking for comment and criticism from others. Publication in this symposium will, as a rule, involve little or no refereeing and minimal editing, with the primary responsibility for technical accuracy and proofreading resting on the contributors themselves. Specialists in the affected fields are asked to challenge the presented views or to offer alternative explanations of the data ...

... the ankles of flying birds develop differently from that of the ostrich. It has been assumed that ostriches and other flightless birds evolved from the main bird line by a secondary loss of flight adaptations. Certain characteristics do indicate that this is so, but on ankle bone evidence it would seem that their flying ancestors were on a different line of evolution from any dinosaur forebear to that of the present-day flying birds. Lunar Moons and Magnetism sources: NATURE 304, pp.589-96; NEW SCIENTIST 8.9 .83, p.684 We have reported the theory of Keith Runcorn of Newcastle University that the remanent magnetism of the Moon was generated by the dynamo method (WORKSHOP 5 ...
777. Suns and Planets in Neolithic Rock Art [Journals] [Aeon]
... depict the ancient "sun", albeit one radically different in appearance from the current solar orb. This is not to deny the possibility that sacred images become more abstract through time. Certainly representations of the ancient sun-god became more anthropomorphic as civilization progressed. (17) But the question before us is not whether religious images are subject to evolution and transmutation; rather, why prehistoric images of the sun do not conform with its current appearance? If one is willing to entertain the possibility that prehistoric rock art is representative in nature, how is it possible to discover the celestial phenomenon behind the various "sun-images"? Inasmuch as writing did not yet exist at the time most ...

... de Gîzeh," p. 260. (1893.) 4. The little temple of Isis at Pompeii and the associated frescoes in the Naples Museum are well worth careful study, especially with regard to the arrangements made for the stellar observations (and their final stoppage by the drastic proceeding referred to in the text), and the evolution of Horus in Greek times. The Hippopotami are most carefully drawn. 5. Gîzeh Catalogue, 1893, p. 63. 6. Professor Flinders Petrie has been good enough to send me his recent measurements. They justify those obtained from Lepsius' plan. 7. Brugsch, "Egypt," 1891, p. 220. ...

... geological structure, composition of rare earth metals and minerals are similar to meteoritic rocks which fell in Jilin province in 1976. Tests by Rb/Sr and U/Pb dating methods give ages greater than Earth rocks. Some of the meteoritic rocks are quite colossal and one weighs 2 million tonnes. Quite a fall! New Angle on Human Evolution source: New Scientist 26.11.87, p.32 There is more evidence that Neanderthal and modern man were around at the same time and that the latter, therefore, did not evolve from the former. The new thermoluminescence technique allows the dating of objects older than the usual radiocarbon dating range. This has enabled the ...
