... is a "Chapter to open the gate of this House" which reads: I have opened heaven, I have opened earth, I enter, O ye Western and Eastern doors. Let me enter. I am the wind passing by you.33 Fig. 14. Four Winds Symbol The swastika with curved limbs was among the American Indians recognized as a form of the cross enclosed by inner and outer circles (figure 14a). Hamilton Cushing notes34 that figure 14c is "a very significant variant", while figure 14b is the " symbol of the four winds "and is " common throughout ancient America from Ohio to the ruins of Yucatan and the Andes". ...

... southern, but the remains of two Jurassic dinosaurs, Brachiosaurus and Barosaurus, have been found in the western USA and Tanzania, showing that there must still have been land connections at this time. Even more problematical, three more dinosaurs, the late Cretaceous Titanosaurus, Lapatosaurus and Antarctosaurus, are found in South America and India, but the Indian subcontinent is supposed to have been isolated from Africa 100 million years before the separation of South America from Africa is also deemed to have been well under way by this time. The advocates of plate tectonics require vast time spans at a rate of drift of only 2-6 cm a year, but it would appear that the fossil record is ...

... O'Keefe whose idea is that a volcanic eruption on the Moon caused a shower of microtektites (see Workshop 3:3 , p. 18 for his previous application of this idea) of Stefan Gartner (see Workshop 2:4 , p. 7) and Dewey McLean. McLean's theory is basically uniformitarian, requiring continental drift to send the Indian subcontinent over an earthly "hot spot". The result, which is massively visible geologically, was the "Deccan eruption" - volcanism on a large scale - and this dramatically interfered with the carbon cycle. McLean's theory falls short of explaining adequately the iridium anomaly, since he requires the iridium to be accreted over half a million ...

... ., children don't grow on trees. A paper in the Special Issue will be studying the Admonitions in detail, and will also examine the famine aspect. Barbara Bell (AJA 75, 1971, 1 ff.) sees famine (due to a succession of bad Niles) as the cause of the civil disorder, and quotes the Indian Famine Enquiry Commission's Final Report (Delhi, 1945), p.86: "In times of famine . . . the birth rate is greatly reduced, largely, it seems, because of the actual physiological effect of food shortage in its various aspects . . ." Mr O'Gheoghan might like to consider this: it certainly corresponds ...

... the Space Shuttle (see Workshop 5:2 , p. 26), that Schliemann discovered Troy in 1867 only by taking myths at face value, and that Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos had succeeded in solving problems in chronology by treating the Bible as an historical document whose accounts were not merely mythical and symbolic. Much of what the Mayan Indians had recorded was treated as mere folklore until, in modern times, it was discovered how wonderfully accurate their astronomy had been. Leins argues that there is much to be learned from myths and legends, and asks: "How many discoveries from space pictures will be needed before more serious attention is given to these cryptic clues from our ...

... of tektites. Some say that they are of terrestrial origin, being matter spewed out by volcanoes and falling back to Earth. Some say they are extraterrestrial material, and in particular J. A. O'Keefe claims that they originate from lunar volcanoes. Examination of lunar sample 14425 indicates that its composition is similar to that of the Australasian/Indian Ocean tektites (dated at circa 700,000 years old) but is different from that of other lunar rocks. He sees this evidence as supporting his lunar volcano theory (for which see WORKSHOP 3:1 , p.18) but it could equally well support other extraterrestrial origins for tektites, in which both Earth and Moon ...
660. The Great Father [Books]
... name was Quetzalcoatl. (19) Not only was Quetzalcoatl the "Giver of Life"; the legend proclaims that the first divine generation emanated directly from him. But eventually the god (like his counterparts around the world) suffered a violent fate, bringing to an end his Golden Age. To the Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and American Indian accounts of the remote epoch correspond numerous legends of India, Iran, China, and northern Europe: India. The Hindu Brahma, Yama, Vishnu, and Manu converge as representatives of a solitary supreme god and creator governing a lost paradise as the first king, setting forth the first moral codes, and imparting to mankind the fundamentals ...
