... Ancient meteorite craters may be the source of many circular features of the Earth, but few of such topographical formations have been given more than a superficial look (Norman et al., p692) Figure 24 shows an area of broken terrain in Arizona from which Saul's analysis revealed a set of overlapping and eroded astroblemes as shown drawn over the map. Notably, metal and mineral deposits are distributed among these astroblemes, lending support to our suggestion elsewhere in this book that most if not all useful minerals and metals are deposited and produced by quantavolutionary processes. Beals and Halliday outline criteria used to identify meteorite crater remnants after erosion, and possibly glaciation, have attacked the exposed circular or ...
162. The Holy Land [Books]
... organized as circular enclosures around the ruling lord. Ritual requirements superseded practical considerations, and even when geography and growth prevented or distorted the purely circular form, the sacred city was still conceived as a revolving enclosure. Symbolically, every Egyptian city lay within the shield or protective border of Nut (the "Great Protectoress"). The Babylonian map shows the land as a circle around a centre. "Here," concludes Eliade, "the earthly abode is the counterpart (mehret) of the heavenly abode." (76) Hebrew thought repeatedly insists that the terrestrial Jerusalem was but a likeness of the city first constructed by God. "A celestial Jerusalem was created by ...
163. Ice Fields of the Earth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Still, primates, proto-humans and homo sapiens lived among the animals whose remains have been found under ice and permafrost. Whether a long-term date (like two million years) or a short-term date such as I suggest here is adopted, these species existed before the ice and they may one day provide new fossil discoveries. There is an old map, called the Piri Reis map, that shows perhaps the coastline of the Antarctic continent as it would have appeared in the interim between the settling down from the great ice cap collapse and crustal shifts of Lunaria and the new ice caps of Jovea that remain today. That would be during the "Golden Age" of Saturn. The ...
164. Of the Moon and Mars, Part 1 [Journals] [Pensee]
... of sinuous rilles based on Lunar Orbiter 4 high-resolution photographs. (After Schubert, Lingenfelter and Peale, "The Morphology, Distribution, and Origin of Lunar Sinuous Rilles", Reviews of Geophysics and Space Physics, vol. 8, no. 1, February 1970, p. 207 Aristarchus Schubert, Lingenfelter, and Peale have prepared a map showing the distribution of lunar sinuous rilles (47). They remark: "The nonrandom distribution of the sinuous rilles is immediately obvious. The rilles are clearly associated with the mare material and are conspicuously absent from the highlands. The tendency of the rilles to occur in groups is also evident." This tendency to occur in groups ...
165. Mass Movements in Level Areas [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... in many Coversand areas the ridges are more or less parallel. Also, many valleys might have developed more or less simultaneously in successive steps, in which case the same reasoning is applicable. The direction of the ridges has a high correlation with the general slope of the terrain, which tends to corroborate this hypothesis. Figure 4 presents a map published by Knibbe (1969). The black parts represent the low-lying and wet areas in the Coversands, while the white parts mainly represent their ridges, although in the eastern section geologically older materials are also included. The pattern of the valleys shows a few oddities'. Firstly, with the land sloping from east to west, ...

... times. It might be profitable to explore there. They talk again and again about the information, and Deg draws up an agreement which they both sign. If they can interest an oil company in purchasing their knowledge, they will divide the proceeds. V. chooses a location. It turns our to be in Turkey. Deg buys maps of oil concessions and wells for the area and finds that the spot mentioned stands seemingly outside the boundaries of existing rights to drill, although quite surrounded by concessions. Better Turkey than Syria, certainly, they think. However, Deg knows the problems of Turkey, political and bureaucratic, the tangle of laws, the high cost of ...
167. Senmut and Phaeton [Journals] [SIS Review]
... thereby invalidated. The detail of this will be further developed below. It is difficult to be absolutely sure on every issue, as the basic layouts of the "northern" and "southern" panels are fundamentally rather different (though similar on all three ceilings); but it could be maintained that they are simply an ordinary circular star map presented in flat strip form, as on some modern star charts. If the two panels really were intended to be two separate views of the night sky, uncomplicated by mythological features, then they would show essentially the same patch of sky viewed in the same direction at two seasons of the year, approximately 6 months apart. It ...

... land" and they contrasted it with the surrounding nations which they called "the red land". (2nd slide) In places, though, there is no black land, the desert conies right down to the shore of the Nile. These pictures were taken at Assuan, near the first cataract. (3 ) A simple sketch map of Egypt and the Red Sea and Palestine and Phoenicia. You can see here were Thebes is, it is on the western bank of the Nile, Luxor on the East. Note this place called Qeseir on the Red Sea coast which I will be mentioning later on. The pictures were taken here at the first cataract; there ...

... that: there was NO global flood around 12,000 years ago; the Sphinx could not possibly have been constructed around that time; the intriguing measurements and spatial alignments of some of the Pyramids in Egypt and Meso-America are the result of pure chance; debunks the accuracy and predictive aspects of the Mayan calendar; debunks the existence of pre-Columbian maps which give reasonably accurate plottings the currently submerged antarctica coastline ?? ?? ?I hope that this discussion will attract the comments of open minded scientists in the areas of science which interface with the "evidence" Graham Hancock brings to bear on the topic. It might well turn out to be the most interesting discussion on the net ...
170. Sins Of The Father [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Ginenthal proclaims that the Medes and Mitanni occupied "virtually the same region." Yet the traditional homeland of the Medes was in the Zagros mountains of western Iran, hundreds of miles to the east of Baghdad, while Mitanni was centered on the Khabur triangle in northern Syria, hundreds of miles to the west of Baghdad (see accompanying map). I dare say that few scholars would accept that such disparately located homelands constituted "virtually the same region." Nor, for that matter, is it true that they "worshipped the same gods." Certainly Ginenthal fails to present any evidence in Pillars of the Past that would lead us to believe that this was the ...
