... found in the planisphere as the double stream of Aquarius.[3 ] One of the myths speaks of a mist which hung over the river for three days and nights, and when it lifted the Emperor saw a great Fish, to which he made sacrifice, and as it swam out to sea, he discovered and secured the mysterious map writings. This Fish was probably the royal star Fomalhaut. Fomalhaut means the Mouth of a Fish, and is found in Pisces Australis, a paranatellon of Aquarius. Among the primitive types of the old Great Mother are found the Fish, the Crocodile, and the Water-cow, all of which were said to "bring forth writing from ...
342. Ice Age Anomalies [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the end of the Pleistocene. Where the ocean now exists dry land may once have prevailed. The continental shelf systems of both North America and NW Europe are large and are thought to have been engulfed at this point in time. Volcanism on the ridge would have played a role in combination with plate movement and crustal dynamics Looking at a map of the ocean floor the small dot of Rockall seems to have been a much larger island, and at an even earlier period it was attached to the continental shelf system surrounding NW Europe. The same might be said of the Porcupine Bank off the west coast of Ireland and on the other side of the Atlantic there is an extensive ...
343. Chapter XXI: Star-Cults [Books]
... us, they typified the northern and Southern regions of the sky. There can be no question that the chief ancient constellation in the north was the Great Bear, or, as it was then pictured, the Thigh (Mesxet). After this came the Hippopotamus. I had come to the conclusion that this had been replaced on our maps by part of Draco before I found that Brugsch and Parthey had expressed the same opinion. The female hippopotamus typified Taurt, the wife of Set (represented by a jackal with erected tail, or hippopotamus), and one of the most ordinary forms of Hathor is a hippopotamus. There is evidence that the star we are considering, ...
344. When the Sea Flooded Britain [Journals] [SIS Review]
... sea-level changes and .. . in time the identification of similar sites in Scotland .. . '. Elsewhere, place-name evidence has been recently published to show that Loch Maree could have been stranded' sometime not later than the 17th century AD. The present lake surface lies just below 10m OD [11]. A glance at OS maps covering the west coast of Scotland reveals several other lochs stranded' at the same level, some of which provide similar place-name parallels. As with the raised beach along the Applecross section of the west coast, the isostatic altitudes are not as pronounced. This is in marked contrast to Loch Brora. Today, this is a fresh-water loch ...
345. The Road to Iron: 8th and 7th Century Metallurgy and the Decline of Egyptian Power [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... iron technology. Just as British industry rapidly developed chemical, electrical, aeronautical, and metallurgical industries in World War I to make good its previous dependence on Germany,12 the lesson had been learned. From the reign of Seti I, who successfully refounded Egyptian power (c . 842-810, Glasgow dating), comes "the oldest geological map we possess . . . the Turin papyrus. It is the ancestor of all our early geological maps, all drawn for economic purposes."13 This indicates a renewed, aggressive, enterprising search for metallic ores, the source of national strength, at the beginning of the 19th dynasty. "I am your wall of iron, ...
346. The Importance of Outsiders in Science [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , mechanics, engineering, astronomy, geology and anatomy - in which fields he was entirely self- taught! Moving to Milan at the age of 30, he entered the service of Lodovico Sforza primarily as a military and naval engineer, sculptor next and painter only incidentally. He was employed by Caesar Borgia from the age of 50, mapping the country, planning canals, harbours and other works. I have stated that the remit of this work will necessarily be confined to the related spheres of science and technology but I make no apologies for beginning the survey with Leonardo. His notebooks anticipate great inventions such as the aeroplane, the armoured vehicle and the submarine - and indeed ...
347. Can There be a Revised Chronology Without a Revised Stratigraphy? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the Upper City at Hazor (= Str. Ib of the Lower City) [21]. The wealth and international trade attested by these levels certainly reflect the age of Solomon far more accurately than the Iron Age cities normally attributed to him, from which we have "no evidence of any particular luxury" [21a]. Map showing sites discussed in the text The above-mentioned strata at Megiddo and Gezer have both yielded remains of very fine buildings and courtyards [22]. The Late Bronze strata on the tell at Hazor have unfortunately not produced a clear picture, because of levelling operations and extensive looting of these levels during the Iron Age; but the LB II ...
348. Atlantis (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... lured them farther and farther; in the glory of the sunset, high and distinct, but for ever unattainable, rose the embattled walls of Antilia, the Isle of the Seven Cities; the spicy hills of the Islands of the Blest; Avilion the Fair; Brendan's Isle, the Promised Land of the Saints. How delightful are the maps and charts of the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries! The existence of a large continent beyond the western sea had been proved beyond doubt, but while bounded by these lands of fact the expanse of the wide ocean is strewn with the lands of fable. And their names are music: Atanagio, Bellicosa, Brazil, Frislanda ...
349. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... man migrated southwards past the North American glaciers at the end of the last ice age has long been a subject of debate. The ideas of archaeologist Knut Fladmark that the Pacific coast was the likely route were dismissed in the 1970s by other archaeologists, who postulated an ice free corridor east of the Rockies. Now marine geologists who have been mapping the coastal region between the British Columbian mainland and the Queen Charlotte Islands have come to the conclusion that it was a rich area of diverse ecosystems as recently as 10,000 years ago. When the glaciers melted, immense floods drowned the area, peaking in height at 9,500 years ago. Human artifacts dating back over 9000 ...
350. A Personal Report on, and Irreverent Look at, the World Conference 'Planetary Violence in Human History' Portland, Oregon, January 3-5, 1997 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of other interesting bits about when certain, now essential, food plants developed. Apparently 99% of the world's food (I assume he means food plants) developed at 1500m altitude 12,000 years ago. Where he gets those 12,000 years, I don't know. Rand Flem-Ath postulates slippage of the Earth's crust and cites Hapgood's Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings. He shows problems none of our theories appear to resolve. I do not hold with a culture 10,000 or more years ago that was advanced enough to build ships and a string of supply stations so as to make war with the Greeks from near the South Pole. However, there is plenty ...
