... , on the side of the "Phrygian cap" of the Maya god, or priest, "seated on a two-headed lion couch", etc., and writes: The use of such a spiral ornament, especially in representations of the elephant, is of widespread occurrence in the Old World . The fact that the crude sketehes of Indian elephants found in Scandinavia and Scotland present a spiral ornament can hardly be a merely accidental coincidence. He shows that on Greek coins the elephant's head was used as a head-dress of kings who also wore the curved horn of Amon, the Egyptian god, which formed a spiral about or behind the ear, or in front of the ear ...
662. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... for nature as either the creation or the "body" of God is equally absent. It seems to me that the two contrasted attitudes are exactly those of (among others) the original "Americans" and the white settlers, delineated in Vine Deloria's book God is Red. With no former contact to a monotheistic culture, the American Indian saw himself as part of a divinely inspired universe, and as much in its service as it was in his. That the celestial deities were given animal totems only further proves that nature was revered. (If we think of this culture as an "earlier" one, or postulate that similar ethics were followed by the cultures preceding ...
663. Beliefs Connected with the Cross and the Swastika [Books]
... 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". ...

... to the date given to a granite body cutting across the limestone. Now it would appear that the limestone was deposited on the granite. How many other textbook dates are based upon such assumptions? Asteroid Site?source: New Scientist 21.5 .87, p.33 Satellite mapping of the Earth indicates a large depression in the Indian Ocean floor associated with anomalous gravity (weak). It also has a magnetic anomaly indicating high amplitude electric currents in the core: scientists deduce a "valley" in the core at this point. The combination of large depression, gravitational and magnetic anomalies allows us to speculate: - is this the site of a "missing" ...
... Masika M'dogo. ' The greater rains inaugurate the most important cultivating season, commencing in March with the S.W . monsoon. Some years the sowing commences as early as the 7th, but generally speaking the average period may be given as beginning from the middle of the month, and by the first week in April all sowings of Indian corn, rice and mfmah' (Millet or Sorghum vulgare), the chief and staple food-stuffs of the people, are generally finished, though sowings may continue till the end of April. The heaviest fall of rain occurs in April and May, and the rain continues with gradually diminishing force to September. Harvest takes place in July ...

... it in total darkness (and cold) for several months of the year. We reckon that the Hadrosaurs would have needed to have been more than just warm blooded to survive these conditions: surely this is yet more evidence for pole shift? (see Workshop 1987:1 , pp.21-22) Ugarit - Any Developments?source: Indian Express (Hyderabad) 20.10.87 Our correspondent Geoffrey Barnard, was in India recently and found an interesting item on Ugarit in the local press. It describes the demise of Ugarit at the end of the Bronze Age from what appears to have been an interview or press conference with Professor Frank Moore Cross of Harvard. Ugarit ...

... body produce a substantial mass anomaly? The shape distortion and subsequent relaxation would surely be almost symmetrical between successive Earth layers. If relaxation is quite a rapid process, as I suspect, any distortions would now be very small. However, I am also well aware of the difficulty we had in maintaining Skynet satellites in geo-stationary orbit over the Indian Ocean. They tended to move towards Africa due, we were assured, to one of several gravitational anomalies exhibited by Earth. I had understood that a gravitational anomaly was the same as an anomalous mass concentration. Would Ellenberger be so kind as to explain the difference? Quote 4: Only an internal source would produce remanent magnetism in ...
668. Geomagnetic Reversals? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... dating of 450 x 106 years the significance of (which) is obscure'. Cardona (1976b) mentions a claimed age for tektites of no more than 5000 BP and notes that tektites are also known as fire-pearls' and that ancient records state that they had fallen from the sky. 6. Historical data The legend of the Hopi Indians and the writings of Plato have already been mentioned, and whilst it is possible that they could have derived from the same source, it is difficult to imagine how such descriptions could have originated if they were not based on some actual experience. There is, in fact, a plethora of historical and legendary' data to support these ...
669. Reversals of the Earth? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Greeks' and presumably everyone else's) duty to tell. The story contains a description of reversals which can now clearly be seen to be descriptions of a tippe-top reversal - but Plato misses the point of his own message and ends up in a right old tangle, as have all the commentators ever since. In America, the Hopi Indians have been carrying out that same duty, passing the same message down through the generations for God knows how long. In the Pacific Islands, the Polynesians have been doing the same. Both the Polynesians and the Hopi have used rote-learning, a method that can be (and has been) staggeringly effective even via a chain of people ...

... = fire, Latin ara = altar. The Latin altaria means ritual utensils on the altar. Anclabris is a sacrificial table, anclabria are its vessels. The Etruscan cletram is a litter or chariot for offerings. Batillum is a fire-shovel. In Hebrew such altar equipment was qadhosh, holy. Fire is agni in Sanskrit. The Agnihotras were Indian priests who were messengers bringing divine fire. We saw in Chapter I that they resembled the Selli at Dodona in that they were not allowed to wash their feet. Fire in Russian is ogonj, also zhar, in Etruscan zar, Hebrew esh, Akkadian ash or esh, Egyptian chet, Greek pur. Greek chaite, hair or ...
