... . Antiquity LIV, 37-43, 1980). Misidentification of archaeological monuments has resulted in Thom's describing hut circles and enclosures as stone circles of megalithic type, and some of the lines of foresight suggested for certain sites are shown in the field to be below horizon level, difficult to see without binoculars or blocked by natural features not obvious from maps."(30) Although Thom can be discounted on archaeological grounds alone, other recent literature corroborates this.(31) In his diatribe against Velikovsky, Krupp mentions in particular three megalithic sites Kintraw, Ballochroy, and Temple Wood- obviously subsumed in the general rejection of Thom's work. It is worth noting, though, that ...
502. Thoth Vol V, No 3: Feb 28, 2001 [Journals] [Thoth]
... have proposed the names Himeros and Psyche. In the early images Himeros appeared saddle-shaped, and we could not be sure if it was indeed an impact crater, but Psyche displayed from the start the classical bowl shape of an impact crater. Although it was not immediately apparent, Himeros was actually not saddle-shaped at all, but bowl-shaped. Careful mapping of its topography by the NEAR Laser Rangefinder and by the imager shows that as far as Eros' gravity field is concerned, its depth is consistent with impact excavation. Still, if it is an impact crater, it is oddly shaped. Another mystery is that the interior surface of Himeros is relatively smooth and much less heavily cratered ...

... fulgamites" - the kind of raised blisters found on lightning arrestors after a lightning strike. The movement of Io's so- called volcanoes of over 100km in a few years is also more easily understood as a travelling arc. Features on Mars are similar because they too were caused by interplanetary discharges in the recent past. Galileo's camera and near-infrared mapping spectrometer measured the temperatures of the lavas during the eruption and found that they were hotter than any known eruption on Earth in the last two billion years. .. . It was the temperature of the cathode arcs that was being measured, averaged over a large area. Better resolution will show that Io's hot spots are far too hot ...
504. Heretics, Dogmatists and Science's Reception of New Ideas (Part 4) [Journals] [Kronos]
... letters criticizing Gribbin's embracing Sagan will remain unknown because their publishing was soon thereafter interrupted by a labor dispute. When publication resumed in June, no further word on this incident appeared.(207) However, New Scientist did not forget about Velikovsky. In the 26 June 1980 issue two drawings of Venus's surface appeared based on Pioneer Venus radar mapping. The larger picture showing the lone "rift valley" detected on Venus was labelled "Venus not a comet!".(208) In pushing their interpretation of the pictures further than any other publication, the caption stated: "The radar pictures must be taken as convincing evidence not just that Venus is indeed a rocky, ...
505. The Shrine of Baal-Zephon [Journals] [Aeon]
... , unfortunately, made the mistake of having the Via Maris (or Way of the Land of the Philistines) proceed along the Bardawil sand-spit, (101) whereas, in fact, the route of the Via Maris proceeded, as it still does to this day, along the southern shore of the Bardawil lagoon. In one of their maps, Neev and Friedman show what they call the "older coastal route" across the northern Sinai, (102) but it is precisely this older coastal route that was, and is, the Via Maris. Even so, since it is my belief that it was across the sand-spit that the Israelites were eventually able to escape ( ...
506. Morning Star* [Journals] [Aeon]
... 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 was co-ordinated in accordance with these astronomical observations as so, also, was the timing of their religious rites. (22) Moreover, Ellenberger notwithstanding, the greater part of the Pawnee deities were ...
507. The Nature and Origin of Comets and the Evolution of Celestial Bodies (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... efforts have been attempts to account for the unexplainable in the Laplacian scenario. There is a great deal of speculation in today's "accepted" theory .) 9. B. A. Smith, Science, 204 (1979), p. 969. 10. In 1983 the Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS) was launched and has since mapped infrared heat sources much more accurately and with greater sensitivity than could be done previously from mountain top infrared observatories. Almost immediately, wide publicity was generated stating that the birth of stars had been recorded. This is a great overstatement of the facts. It is true that new infrared sources have been recorded near magellanic clouds where traditional astrophysical ...
508. Guidelines To The Saturn Myth [Journals] [Kronos]
... emerges through a sequence of dramatic events and undergoes certain tumultuous and earth-shaking transformations. How this configuration evolved, and what happened to it must eventually be considered - and in fact these aspects of the "model" will contribute heavily to the most crucial tests. But even the simple outline below will provide the serious researcher with a sufficiently concrete map to begin independent investigation. DEFINING THE CONFIGURATION Because the north celestial Pole was its pivot or center, I called the proposed Saturnian form the "polar configuration". To a terrestrial observer, the apparition stretched upward from the northern horizon and filled the circumpolar sky with a nightly display, an interplanetary light show against which our night sky ...
509. The End of Mitanni and Some Related Problems [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Ages in Chaos (p . 320) and later in Ramses II (p . 217) he accepts Suppiluliumas I (Sapalulme of Shalmaneser III) as the el-Amarna correspondent. The question is- would any letters not part of the el-Amarna collection have been among or later mixed in with the collection? 63. Hewsen, I, see map, p. 29. 64. While general reference should be made to Luckenbill, I cite Section 236, in which Tiglath Pileser I pursued the kings of Nairi even to the Upper Sea. See also note 66, below. 65. Hewsen, II, p. 65, footnote 4. 66. Piotrovskii, Urartu- ...
510. Is Venus Younger Than Earth? [Journals] [Kronos]
... the large Y features which apparently move in the direction of rotation with speeds up to 100 m/sec.(37) Recent photographs of these features(38) show certain similarities to the Walker circulation of the Pacific,(16) a circulation also characterised by a Y opening towards the direction of rotation. According to the topographical maps(39) there is a large elevated feature near the equator which may produce an elevated heat source somewhat analogous to the Himalayas. Does this instigate travelling waves in the cloud regions above? The dynamics of a possible moving Walker circulation on Venus presents a substantial theoretical challenge. Finally, the fact that Venus does not have substantial spin ...
