... lower segments of the arms and legs, along with small hands and feet. " .. . Their skin color also tends to vary regionally, but not as much as in the Caucasoid subspecies. Some of them, like the southern Chinese, have very flat noses, whereas others, like the Nagas of Assam and the American Plains Indians, have aquiline ones. But these differences are minimal compared to those found in most other subspecies, and a common origin for all Mongoloids is clearly indicated." (15) But then, whence the other races? 5. A Beginning Void of Vestige Given the ultimate (pre-Columbian) distribution of the living races what we have ...
542. Indra and Brhaspati- II (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Dr. Thapar noted that suggested dates for the war between the Pandavas and the Kauravas "range from the fourth millennium B.C . to the seventh century B.C ." . In other words the 7th century B.C . date proposed by me (for the first time, I believe) has entered the mainstream of Indian historical literature- not indeed endorsed by Dr. Thapar but cited on a par with all the other hypotheses. No, this doesn't prove that my suggestion is right- it merely goes to show that no one conversant with historical facts can (or must) reject it out of hand. (The record shows that Velikovsky made great ...
543. Venus and Sirius: Some Unexpected Similarities [Journals] [Kronos]
... "). There is even one reference to k'an as "dog, small dog" in Yucatec Maya,(44) though it is likely that this is erroneously reported. There seem to be no corroborating sources for this reference, and in fact words for "dog" that sound like kan appear to be entirely lacking in Mesoamerican Indian languages, the closest candidate found being in Comecrudo klam, "dog". Words sounding like kan with the meaning "south" appear in the Mediterranean region, while this same sound-meaning association can be inferred in Mesoamerica from the Maya association of the "Kan cross" glyph- which has an accepted phonetic value of k'an- with ...
544. When Venus Was A Comet [Journals] [Kronos]
... is that many of them are equipped with feathers (see Figure 6). This association of serpents and feathers is, of course, grossly unnatural; and scholars have been hard pressed to find a satisfactory explanation for this assimilation of features. It is worthy of note, however, that comets were compared to celestial feathers by the American Indians as well as by peoples of the Old World.(18) Figures 6 & 8 Perhaps the most unusual attribute of Mesoamerican dragons is their long flowing beards. The beard is especially prominent in representations of the Plumed Serpent, Cauac Dragon, and the supreme deity of post classical Yucatan, Itzam Na (see Figure 7). ...
545. The Milankovitch Theory of the Ice Ages [Journals] [Kronos]
... Milankovitch Comes in from the Cold", New Scientist, 30 September 1976, page 688!) THE CORES FROM KERGUELEN Hays, Imbrie, and Shackleton derived their principal information about the ice ages from two deep ocean cores, RC11-120 and E49-18, that had been drilled about a thousand kilometers to the northeast of Kerguelen Island in the southern Indian Ocean. RC11-120 is from 43 31' South, 79 52' East, and E49-18 is from 46 3' South, 90 9' East. The lengths of the two cores are 9.54 meters and 14.59 meters, respectively. That does not permit the discrimination of annual layers, but certain very long-term trends ...

... , the observations they made were not less remarkable for ingenuity than are the theories of the present day". He also refers to the periods in which "there are exerted the sterilizing influences of the heavens. The belief that the "milk" of unripened corn was of divine origin is met with in the mythology of the Zuni Red Indians: Corn shall be the giver of milk to the youthful and of flesh to the aged, as our women folk are the givers of life to our youth and the sustainers of life in our age; for of the mother milk of the beloved Maidens is it filled, and of their flesh the substance.16 The belief obtained ...
547. Egyptian Monumental Evidence [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of Censorinus suggests the earliest date for the 365 day Egyptian calendar, and hence for a number of the pyramids, was after c.1200 BC and, quite possibly, after c.800 BC. Hence, Censorinus is entirely consistent with Herodotus. c). As developed in Discussions in Egyptology, Jewish, Chinese, Persian, Indian, and Roman literary sources support a chronology placing the rise of literate civilisation around 2000 BC, a major flood devastating that civilisation around 1700 BC, and the rise of new civilisations, including the Egyptian, some time after the Flood. All the other literary sources are consistent with one another but not with the conventional manner in which ...
548. Velikovsky on the Formation of Coal [Journals] [Pensee]
... the mixed tropical and temperate flora and fauna preserved in many young coals, the formation of amber, the formation of fusain, and the frequent occurrence of marine sediments and animal remains in coal formations of all ages. The three books studied that are most opposed to orthodox views on the formation of coal are: "The Natural History of Indian Coals" by C.S . Fox, "Synthetische Artbildung" by H. Nilsson, and "Earth in Upheaval" by I. Velikovsky. These books contain much well authenticated evidence that relates to the above problems of coal formation and a summary of this evidence, which cannot be ignored in a systematic study of the formation ...
549. Schizophrenia and the Fear of World Destruction [Journals] [Kronos]
... ad hoc game of the uniformitarians. The same extenuation, however, cannot be advanced for the cultural anthropologist who wrote in 1970: All through contact times, the Apapocuva Guarani have been haunted by a fear of impending world destruction - a supernatural symbol, perhaps, of their concurrent fate, though this same fear was indigenous among Pacific coast Indians of the present United States also. Their shamans rescued them from these fears again and again, teaching them dances that would bring believers to an earthly paradise . . . Some shamans led holy wars against the Spaniards, whose rule they announced had ended; and some led the tribe from its home territory to seek the legendary Land Without ...
