... 6,000 years old and has compiled a list of over 100 firsts' for it, including the wheel, the calendar, the measurement of time, the division of the circle, the hours, art, singing, music, dance, sculpture, brick, the kiln, courts of law, etc. Sumerian geometric shapes anticipated Greek mathematicians by thousands of years. Of course, if we follow Heinsohn, there is nothing extraordinary in this: the Greeks and the Sumerians'(i .e . the Chaldaeans) were contemporaries. Sitchin showed slides of the Solar System; Halley's Comet; the distribution of landmass on Earth; Sumerian pictures showing they were first with ...
502. Book Shelf [Journals] [Aeon]
... thought with the respective states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. The demonstration of a suspected hidden state of matter, the aether (vacuum), had to wait for some centuries despite a glimmer of an idea by Anaximander of Miletus in the early 6th century bce describing a boundless condition he called apeiron- the Greek equivalent of an all-pervasive Hindu akasa, a primal element de- scribed in the Upanishads. (2 ) But Lederman consciously divorces himself of Far Eastern mystical thought- often cited by physicists Robert Oppenheimer and Murray Gell-Mann- and constrains his physics as stemming from the secular roots of Western civilization, exemplified in part by his heavy-handed dismissal of ...

504. Victory of The Sun [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the affection of "Santa Claus." Then, from time to time, out of the welter of submerged memories and habits of mind, a penchant for mundane explanation emerged. By the year 600 B.C . (2600 B.P .) , secular and scientific cosmogonies were appearing, certainly in the natural philosophy of the Greeks, probably in Asia Minor as well. Not until another thousand years had passed, however, did any movement on a culture-wide scale offer to smooth out the cycles of ancient history, center a science as well as the fate of the Earth upon the Sun, and proceed to disentangle the knotted forms of the human mind and social ...
505. Return to the Paelo-Saturnian Ssystem (Forum) [Journals] [Aeon]
... and, in my opinion, immodest cover of the AEON issue under consideration. Apropos, and from my own moral paradigm, I find it simply disgraceful how Western society which, for so long, pretended sex was dirty and worthless, now publicly flaunts, and thrives, on sexual imagery. In the tradition of the bestial, homosexual Greeks and orgy-driven Canaanites, they demystify and desecrate that which Mosaic tradition treats as intimate, special, and sacred. But besides all that, more questions remain. When, for instance, did these apparitions manifest themselves and when did they come to an end? What caused them? Was there a point in time when Mars and Venus ...
506. Ages in Chaos in the Light of C14 Archaeometry [Journals] [Pensee]
... publications dealing with radiocarbon dating. Hence it would appear to be particularly appropriate at this time to consider some of these analyses in the light of Velikovsky's reconstruction of Egyptian history. The accompanying chart lists conventional radiocarbon dates, i.e ., in terms of the Libby 5568-year C-14 half life, for samples from the Middle Kingdom to the Greek Period. For conversion into dates based on the 5730-year C-14 half life proposed by H. Godwin in 1962 (Nature, 195, 984), conventional C-14 ages (in years before A.D . 1950) are multiplied by 1.029. (If conversion into dates based on the more recent C-14 half-life estimates of 5660 ...
507. Aster and Disaster: The Golden Age - I [Journals] [Kronos]
... .(5 ) The word paradise itself comes from the Old Persian *paridaizas, "enclosure" (literally, "something roundly shaped").(6 ) The Sumerians believed paradise to be a city, known as Dilmun.(7 ) Various peoples have seen it as an island or group of islands, ranging from the Greek Elysium to the Celtic Avalon.(8 ) In many cases, these insular abodes were given no specific names but known generically as "islands of the blest". Often the locational nature of paradise was left vague, and it was merely called a land. The East Asians, for example, variously referred to it as " ...
508. Chapter I: The Worship of the Sun and the Dawn [Books]
... This poetical view subsequently gave way to one less poetical- namely, that the earth was supported by pillars; on what the pillars rested is not stated, and it does not matter. We must not consider this as ridiculous, and pardonable merely because it is so early in point of time; because, coming to the time of Greek civilisation, Anaximander told us that the earth was cylindrical in shape, and every place that was then known was situated on the flat end of the cylinder; and Plato, on the ground that the cube was the most perfect geometrical figure, imagined the earth to be a cube, the part of the earth known to the Greeks ...
... yet is their course of life better than that of other men; and they entirely addict themselves to husbandry. It also deserves our admiration, how much they exceed all other men that addict themselves to virtue, and this in righteousness; and indeed to such a degree, that as it hath never appeared among any other men, neither Greeks nor barbarians, no, not for a little time, so hath it endured a long while among them. This is demonstrated by that institution of theirs, which will not suffer any thing to hinder them from having all things in common; so that a rich man enjoys no more of his own wealth than he who hath nothing ...
510. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The North [Books]
... . The North 4. THE NORTH. Out of the North cometh golden splendour Eloah hath upon him terrible Majesty.1 He stretcheth-out the North over empty space and hangeth the Earth upon nothing. (Job xxxvii, 22 ; xxvi, 7.) THESE verses area clear identification of the supreme stone-god Eloah, with the North. The Greeks prayed to the North; so did Roman worshippers, for the statues of their gods had their backs to the North 2 where Varro expressly put the seat of the gods a deorum sede cum in Meridiem spectes, ad sinistram sunt partes mundi exorientes, ad dexteram occidentcs. Servius also called the North the domicilium Jovis.3The Greek augurs ...
