... occurred in 1186, but the world managed to survive, and it seems clear that what really transpired in the heavens was a conjunction of only a few planets at best, rather than the full-fledged conjunction of all seven planets. Nor was the belief in a great planetary conjunction confined to Europe or the Middle East. Anthony Aveni summarises the Indian version of the tradition: ". .. the kalpa is subdivided, by 1000, and scaled down further into more manageable time periods called yugas or ages. The beginning of the briefest of these cycles was geared to an event computed by the astronomers actually to have taken place in the sky. The event was a conjunction of ...

114. Book Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... antiquity of various events. Of the 346 pages of the book, 173 are devoted to a chronological listing of eras', starting from the 6984BC of the Alphonsine tables (published in Spain, 1448AD), through 4004BC (" First Day of Creation of the English Bible") and 3102BC (" the Kalijoga, a widely adopted Indian date for a fateful grand conjunction of the planets), to an ultimate prediction by the "Second Adventists" for the end of the world in 1928. The accompanying bibliography lists 380 authors, with around 500 publications. Del Mar's principal claim is that the Saros eclipse cycle of 6585.7 days must have been known to at ...
115. A Conversation with Barry Fell [Journals] [Horus]
... beads? Actually they were reported in North America as early as about 1820, I think. A man called Schoolcraft - he made a big report to the American congress, a very good report which was published in an enormous book. It included illustrations and descriptions of some of the yellow and black glass beads he found in the American Indian mounds. As far as we know the Phoenicians are responsible for them. You know, when Lewis and Clark crossed America in 1803 or thereabouts, you remember the story of how they had with them the famous Indian princess who was married to a good-for-nothing French Canadian trader - they didn't realize what a jewel they had when they left ...

... From: SIS Workshop Vol 3 No 1 (Jul 1980) Home | Issue Contents Monitor ECLIPSE NEUROSIS?Under the heading "Quake Feeds Indians' Fear of Eclipse", the Daily Telegraph 15/2 /80 reported earth tremors affecting much of N.W . India which struck fear into superstitious millions who believe that a total solar eclipse expected on Saturday presages a series of disasters." The report described how "panic-stricken people ran out of their homes early yesterday" in response to the earth tremors, how the media have launched a campaign to educate the people about the eclipse, and how "millions of devout Hindus will bathe in the holy rivers to propitiate ...
... raised out of the waters. In one of the Eddic versions of the Creation, Odin, Vili, and Ve, after killing Ymir, raised the Earth out of the waters and so formed Midgarth. The Greeks tell of Delos, the smallest of the Cyclades, being fished up from the deep by the trident of Poseidon. In Indian mythology we read that, in the third or Varaha Avatara, Vishnu, in the shape of a fiery boar, lifted the Earth out of the throat of the Patala (Regions of Hell) into which it had been plunged by the terrible demon Golden-Eye, the daitya Hiranyaksha. Vishnu had to fight for a thousand years before he ...
... the Formation of the Mediterranean The formation of the Mediterranean was due to a cataclysm which caused great changes in what was probably a well-populated area. When the Atlantic waters of the capture tide flooded the Mediterranean basin from the west, and the waters of the Mediasiatic Sea surged in from the east, when, perhaps, even waters from the Indian Ocean, coming up through the Red Sea, entered the Levantine basin from the south, many cultures met their end, or suffered at least a great caesura in their development and continuity. The eastern Mediterranean area was probably the home of the highest cultures. In Greek myths we still find traces of the time when the turbulent waves ...
119. Earth Tectonics Viewed from Rock Mechanics [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in an homogeneous brittle solid driven and accelerated in strength by a uniform stress. Angles between branches can differ from 120 degrees when forces are not being applied uniformly in all directions and/or with inhomogeneities in the solid. BTB's are marked in Figure 1 by C, and Figure 5 shows a BTB in the Grand Canyon near Supai (Indian) Village. When two or more BTB's join together, the pattern is designated CTB. Repeated CTB's produce hexagons in uniform solid fracture. Their size varies inversely as the strength of the driving force. Arrays of hexagonal fractures are often seen in broken glass. Coupled CTB's are marked once in Figure 1 by D. ii). ...
120. Ark Myths (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... (the Gorgon-killer) Perseus by Zeus, who had descended in a shower of gold (fire-rain motif), and her father Acrisius caused her to be exposed with her son on the sea in a chest. The cosmic background is distinctly visible, although evidently several strands have been woven together in this myth. The Purãnas tell of the Indian deluge hero Satyavrata whom Brahmã presents with a ship of vast dimensions ready to be stowed and victualled. It is drawn into safety by Brahmã himself, who appears in the shape of a fish, a million miles long. In the Satapatha-Brahmana (Rig Veda) and the Mahabharata versions, the hero Manu has to build the ark himself ...
