... early Greeks, in Freud's words, (12) had probably experienced in their prehistory a period of external brilliance and cultural efflorescence which had perished in a historical catastrophe and of which an obscure tradition survived. He predicted, however, that scientists would eventually be able to verify the same factors underlying the national epics of the Germans, the Indians, the Finns, and (by implication) the Jews, and that these factors would indicate a piece of prehistory which, immediately after it, would have been bound to appear rich in content, important, splendid, and always, perhaps, heroic, but which lies so far back, in such remote times, that only ...
552. Thoth Vol I, No. 24: October 20, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... Yucatan refer to world catastrophes. "The most ancient of these fragments [katuns, or calendar stones of Yucatan] refer, in general, to great catastrophes which, at intervals and repeatedly, convulsed the American continent, and of which all nations of this continent have preserved a more or less distinct memory." Codices of Mexico and Indian authors who composed the annals of their past give a prominent place to the tradition of world catastrophes that decimated humankind and changed the face of the earth. In the chronicles of the Mexican kingdom it is said: "The ancients knew that before the present sky and earth were formed, man was already created and life had manifested itself ...
553. Thoth Vol III, No. 18: Dec 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... a stable position in Earth's north celestial sphere. AMY: Cardona then quotes Assyro-Babylonian, Hebrew, and Egyptian sources which translate the meaning of local names for Saturn as the steady planet' and the resting planet'. He speaks of rituals in which Saturn is referred to as without motion' and without movement. ' He quotes the Makiritare Indians of Venezuela, Wanadi is like a sun that never sets. ' CARDONA: . . . If Ra was the Sun, as mythologists would have us believe, why was it said to have been without movement? Unless I am mistaken, there are only two ways in which the planet Saturn could have appeared suspended motionless in the ...
554. Sin and the Control System [Journals] [Kronos]
... B.C .- the cataclysmic visit of the Venus-comet and the response of the human mind to it. The "resin" which fell from the sky is, of course, the sticky bitumen which precipitated from the clouds in which Venus enveloped the earth. This bitumen was the prototype of the aromatic gums and resins which the American Indians burn unto their gods to this very day. Vucub-Caquix is the brilliant head of the comet- the demonic agent of the destruction and one of the American counterparts of the Canaanitic Helel, prototype of Isaiah's Lucifer. The Plague of Thebes and the Black Death Oedipus: O children, last born stock of ancient Cadmus, What petitions are ...
555. Cosmic Catastrophes and the Day of the Lord [Articles]
... in Herodotus, he tells us that the Egyptians claimed it was the wicked Arabians, and that is why these things were happening. But if we go 8000 miles away, to Central America and pick up the Popol Vuh which is a book that was destroyed by the coming of the Spaniards but was reconstructed from the memory of one Quiche Indian and is something like the equivalent of their Bible, a history and cosmology of ancient times, we find that in the Popol Vuh the same story is told, there are two groups of people, there are the people who live out in the plain and they are the maize growers, the corn growers, and then there are ...
556. A New Theory of Celtic Festivals [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... scriptures of the Hindus, especially the Rig-Veda, the earliest known Indo-European document' [16] and the Avestan scriptures of the Iranian Zoroastrians:'. . . there are elements in living Zoroastrianism which go back, it seems, to Indo-European times' [17],'. . . the ancestors of both the Iranians and the Indians had formed one people, identified as the proto-Indo-Iranians' [18]. The Arctic Home It is not possible in a short article to detail the wealth of evidence deployed by B.G . Tilak to support the theory of an original Arctic home for the Indo-Iranians and, by implication, all the Indo-European peoples. In the Vedas ...
557. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... few ancient artefacts as Australia has to offer but perhaps it is time that someone did so. A Mr Gilroy, director of the Kedumba Nature Display, New South Wales, has been collecting evidence for many years and I repeat below, without comment, some of his observations. a. Early Phoenicians, Egyptians and Libyans sailed to the Indian Ocean and deep into Sout-East Asia in search of trade and minerals. From there, via Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, it is only a matter of island hopping to Queensland. b. In the early 1960s, British Museum scientists (no referenec given) discovered that, from about 1,000BC onwards, eucalyptus resin was employed ...
558. The present state of Radiocarbon Dating [Articles]
... there were no weather records for that area, so he tried to use tree rings to give a record of what the weather was. He developed a chronology going back to 701 AD, which has now been extended back to the fourth century BC, for the South-West United States, and in so doing dated a large number of Hopi Indian sites. The actual technique of tree-ring dating- you can see on this slide sections through two trees, and you can see where the lines join different rings, for example you've got a narrow ring here to match the narrow ring there, etc. You can see that the narrow rings are correlated here; also one could obviously ...
... Temperate regions were once within the charmed circle much closer to the then Equator. In due course by the linear direction of mountain ranges I shall endeavour to establish the theory that the relative laying down of lands in various epochs can only be measured with any accuracy by the linear direction of mountain masses. The situation of Java and the East Indian Archipelagi generally suggests that this region has always retained a position on or towards the Equator, which could easily be the case even though the earth's poles were very far from their present position. By reason of the alignment, Sumatra north-west of Java was probably created before Java, this long island, lying WNW and ESE being related rather ...
560. The Date Of The Loss Of Atlantis (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... Assyrians may have accepted these traditions without doubting their correctness, the Hindus and Mayas may have tried to calculate the year of the capture from the behaviour of our Moon at that time. But, as we know, there was a short period of erratic behaviour before Luna settled down to its satellitic role. This may well have caused the Indian and Mayan astronomers to overestimate the actual year of the capture by a few revolutions of the lunar nodes. That they concur in the number of `six' saros periods should count in favour of the theory just advanced. Now let us turn to another field of science, geology, for some significant figures. In 1898 a French ...
