632. Noah's Vessel: 24,000 Deadweight Tons [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... in all of the required resources, except one. The others didn't have an artifact with old iron fittings in it, that illustrated to them both material and application. Where were these anchor stones quarried? Does the quarry still exist (or has it been submerged ever since)? What celestial forces were operating, creating tides on the Indian Ocean that were powerful enough to wash the Ark inland and upward? The mountains had to have been upthrust even while the water brought the Ark inland, and upland so as to trap the vessel. This offers an explanation of why her master was forced to wait until valley outflow exposed some beach. Were the mountains lifted into place ...
633. Spatters And Planetary Iconography [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... a spatter. The text accompanying the original illustration stated that mirrors such as these were carved out of poor conductors of electricity.(24) Intentionally or not, the text implied that the spatter is a signature of electrical resistance. Figure 117 is my sketch of a decoration on a Mexican ceremonial disk. In the Huichol (Middle American Indian) language, the disk is called nienka, a term which refers to the face of a deity or to a mirror. Spatters decorate the arms of the depicted cross (cf. Figure 88, above) and the centre of the cross seems to contain incipient elemental spatters. Figure 118 my depiction of a 17th century illustration. ...
634. Thoth Vol IV, No 10: June 15, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... Humbaba/Huwawa was the guardian of "the fortress of intestines", and more than one specialist has proposed that this mythical fortress was a prototype of the labyrinth. But other crucial associations of the labyrinth are usually overlooked. The swastika at the center of the labyrinth occurs not just in Cretan and Attic art, but among the Hopi Indians as well. The most common centerpiece of the labyrinth, of course, is the equal-limbed cross, from which the swastika itself arose, representing the whirling aspect of the cross. One scholar who did not overlook this connection was A. B. Cook. From his extensive study of the theme, he concluded [Zeus, Vol ...
635. Thoth Vol IV, No 6: March 31, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... (I do realize that more needs to be said to make the point clear.) Michel: "The principle of sacrifice involves an obstruction of human awareness, a barrier to the innate sense of the unity of life". this does not seem - repeat seem - to apply to the cannibalistic sacrifice of war prisoners among pre-Portuguese Brazilian Indians - where prisoners received the best and most honourable treatment before they were sacrificed and eaten (hearts first). I would associate this kind of sacrifice with the type of animal sacrifice mentioned above, whereas animal sacrifice in the ancient religions of the Mediterranean (including Judaism) resembles Amerindian human sacrifices, for instance. But keep in mind ...

... been like that. (At least not when I'm in the room and you want an easy life ; -) PAM: Hey, I'm not here for the easy life or I wouldn't be hanging out with all these Krazy Kronians ;~ }. I can historically document that cultural norms for a massive number of cultures (including American Indians) had all kinds of coming-of-age ceremonies where the boy is taken away from his mother & he has to live in the kiva (picking one) with the men for two years & isn't allowed to even look at any women. In Western Culture, that translates thus: it's kinda cute to be considered "daddy's girl", ...
637. Thoth Vol III, No. 10: July 30, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... tilt was 24.14 degrees, as compared with the current 23.45 degrees, and perihelion, the point in the Earth's orbit that is closest to the Sun, occurred at the end of July, as compared with early January now. At that time, the Northern Hemisphere received more summer sunlight, which amplified the African and Indian summer monsoon. The changes in Earth's orbit occurred gradually, however, whereas the evolution of North Africa's climate and vegetation were abrupt. Claussen and his colleagues believe that various feedback mechanisms within Earth's climate system amplified and modified the effects touched off by the orbital changes. By modeling the impact of climate, oceans, and vegetation both separately ...
638. Galactic Domains, G Fluctuations and Geomagnetic Reversals [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... is that many fossil species were found to disappear about the time of a reversal and new species appeared shortly afterwards. ' The magnetic field reversal of itself is hardly likely to explain such an event. According to the Tarling data the last geomagnetic field reversal was about 700,000 years ago. A study of the deep-sea floor of the Indian Ocean is reported to reveal tiny metallic and glass beads which, it was said (Wright, 1972): .. . were fragments of some great cosmic catastrophe that caused molten articles to splash into the atmosphere some 700,000 years ago. The shower of debris coincided wilt) the last reversal of the earth's magnetic field. ...

... constellation that specifically looks like the prehistoric giant cave bear as opposed to the more common bear which remained prevalent in Europe after the Ice Age?) What made Gingerich claim that the Great Bear's name "may date back as far as the Ice Ages" was the fact that the name of this constellation was also known "by many different Indian tribes of North America" who could not have brought it with them from Siberia- where the name of the constellation was also known- across the Bering Straits except during that time when the straits were bridged by the ice of the last Ice Age. (23) Even so, Ellenberger may counter that his argument still holds. ...
640. Thoth Vol III, No. 4: Feb 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... demonstrated to any high degree of certainty. What seems most likely, though, is that the "traditional" accounts will be shown to have been erroneous, constructed either out of ignorance or out of willful distortion to achieve some purpose or other. To me, it is the same situation in regards to very early Egyptian, Jewish, Indian etc "history." There is a paucity of verifiable facts, even if we don't accept (on an operational basis) the philosophical extremism of a David Hume, who holds that we can't really be certain of anything. Part of the problem of claiming, as Henry has done, that in the main much of the Old ...
