73. The Cosmic Mountain [Books]
... the ritual form a circle around the post and touch it with the words, "Here is stability .. . Here is joy." (89) The cosmic post, Eliade informs us, was the axis of the world. By mystically ascending the celestial pillar the sacrificer attained the cosmic centre and summit. (90) The Indian world pillar, whether considered as a cosmic mountain (Meru) or as a pole or stake reaching from earth to heaven, is that which sustains the central sun. Buddhist iconography reviewed by Coomaraswamy depicts the wheel of the "sun" raised upon a cosmic column called "the pillar of fire." (91) To the ...
74. Morning Star* [Journals] [Aeon]
... have been due to an enhanced prominence of the planet itself? One other question needs to be addressed: are we positively certain that Nebo (or Nabu) and Nusku personified the planet Mercury? U-PIRIKUCU- GREAT STAR- WARRIOR IN THE EAST Leaving the above questions temporarily unanswered, let us next focus on the Skidi branch of the Pawnee Indians who formerly inhabited the valley of the Platte river in Nebraska. Among these Indians there were some who, in a sense, might be considered to have been astronomers. These men compiled star maps; identified the constellations and the brightest stars among them; noted the planets and recorded their movements. The beginning of the Pawnee ceremonial year ...
75. Comalcalco: A Case for Early Pre-Columbian Contact and Influence? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... tabulated by Cavalli-Sforza and colleagues, James Guthrie observes that studies of mummies and coprolites have established the presence of tropical intestinal parasites, especially ancylostoma duodenale, in ancient South America. These almost certainly came from Southeast Asia or Oceana.... Soper (1927, The Report of a Nearly Pure Ancylostoma duodenale' Infection in Native South American Indians and a Discussion of its Ethnological Significance, American Journal of Hygiene 7:174-184) indicated Indonesia as the likely source of ancylostoma duodenale' [41]. Note that such parasites could not have survived in the subarctic climate of Beringia. Guthrie provides genetic and other evidence supporting the postulates of Ibarra Grasso and others that elements of Indus ...

77. Capture Flood Myths (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... whole land into the sea so that only a few mountain-tops, the present archipelago, still showed above the waters. After the waters had subsided a little, a man of another race came in a boat, landed on the island of Eimeo or Moorea, and built an altar there in honour of his god. Among the North American Indians we find a number of flood myths which evidently refer to the capture. The Navaho Indians of Arizona say that one morning there appeared in the east- and presently also in the south, north, and west- something which looked like a high, steep mountain wall. It was water, however. They fled to the mountains. Another ...

... process. The main criterion, however, is climatic blips. If a disintegrating comet and its associated debris were also put into the equation, the eruptions of Indo-European speaking warriors would be even more explicable. Farming using irrigation (not mentioned by Cavalli-Sforza) continued on parts of the Steppes, notably around the Aral Sea and Oxus basin. Indian archaeologists believe these farmers moved south in large numbers to populate India. One movement was around 3000BC, a time of change and migration all round the world. Mesopotamia had the intrusive Jemdat Nasr people; in Syria-Palestine a new people, speaking a Semitic language, founded the Early Bronze civilisation, replacing round-headed Armenian peoples. India was also ...

80. The Tide, Part 1 Venus Ch.3 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... . The traditions of the people of Peru tell that for a period of time equal to five days and five nights the sun was not in the sky, and then the ocean left the shore and with a terrible din broke over the continent; the entire surface of the earth was changed in this catastrophe.(3 ) The Choctaw Indians of Oklahoma relate: "The earth was plunged in darkness for a long time." Finally a bright light appeared in the north, "but it was mountain-high waves, rapidly coming nearer."(4 ) In these traditions there are two concurrent elements: a complete darkness that endured a number of days (in Asia, ...
