... of a fugitive tribe, alien to the region, who employed the methods either of the Old or New Stone Ages, does it necessarily prove that they actually lived in those remote periods? Mrs. Dobson, discussing the overlap between the various archaeological periods, makes this remark: "It is not easy to tell the implements of the Megalithic from those of the full Bronze Age, for in spite of the advantages of metal, flint tools were used even down to Roman times."14 At Stonehenge, in the Disc barrows, a foreign and later development of the Long barrows, are found weapons of bronze and stone together. Perforated and un-perforated flint axes and sometimes ...

... measure longitude - and hence must have had a transoceanic navigational capability and an awareness of the earth as a sphere and of the heliocentric nature of the solar system. By the "Worlds in Collision" model, the originals of these maps could have been drawn before the Exodus catastrophe. 15. Thus, for example: Alexander Thom: Megalithic Sites in Britain (OUP, 1967); F. X. Kugler: Sternkunde und Sterndienst in Babel (Münster, 1907-35); and the works of Hapgood, Tompkins and Gordon cited above. 16. W in C, II, iii: "Yuddha". 17. Robert K. G. Temple: The Sirius ...
293. Ebla Reconsidered [Journals] [SIS Review]
... then Chairman of Princeton's Geology Department. Item No. 5 of Velikovsky's list proposed the following: An analysis of the magnetic inclination (dip) in the clay of the pottery of the Old and Middle Kingdoms in Egypt may disclose substantial shifts, actually reversals of the magnetic field of the Earth; similar tests could also be performed on various megalithic pottery." [1 ] Thirty years later, Dr Ken Games of Liverpool University commenced such an analysis of the Egyptian material, and his intriguing results were published recently in New Scientist [2 ]. Dr Games' major finding from the material, which covered a 3,000-year time span, was: Clearly the geomagnetic field ...

... .S .R . & D. Associates, New Scientist). 28. Meteroid impacts (5 to 10 km diam.) may have created various large basaltic oceanic plateaus. (Nature.) 30. Comets now observed frequently to impact on Sun. (New Scientist). 31. High anomalous magnetism and radioactivity detected at megalithic sites may indicate ancient man had sensing devices for astronomical constructions. (New Scientist.) 32. Lunar rock magnetism without lunar magnetic field raises questions of origins of rock. (New Scientist.) Most of the items were culled from conventional scientific sources such as the New Scientist and Nature. A much more extended, regular survey ...
... They had, moreover, kings before Israel and were among the most highly civilized of the early races in the most distant Prehistoric times. In Cornwall evidence points to their having been the Cassi or Cushites of the south, with Tyre and Sidon near by, Sidon where is now Sidmouth and Scaton. The Edomites were also renowned for their Megalithic stone. In all these products Cornwall and Devon supply, or formerly supplied the needs. I have drawn attention to the great stone idols set up by the giants of tradition in these parts, which reveal a relationship with Ireland, the "gods of the Domnu", or of Edom. A parcel of their ancient gold coins ...
296. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , if Knowth has astral alignments that measure out the predictability of that particular full moon event, then, because of its age, and date of occurrence, such alignments are more probable than the current happening that predicts Easter. This first dramatic Passover occurred about 1500 BC, putting it within the range of the measurable construction dates for these megalithic structures. The Passover of Moses' day does not mean there was a singular event. There could well have been prior incidents that allowed for the predictability of this particular event's catastrophic nature. There could well have been continuity of Passovers, but with lessening drama. Thus, those who constructed Knowth could well have been desirous of watching ...
297. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The North [Books]
... . When a death take's pace in Japan, the body is at once turned with its head to the North and in Japanese inns, as Mr. Aston informs me, a circular card showing the cardinal points is nailed to the ceiling of each seeping room so that lying down with the head to the North may be avoided. The megalithic tombs of Japan also all open towards the South, so as, it may be presumed, to have admitted of burial in the North. The Ainu, on the other hand, who appear to be aborigines who were driven off by the Japanese, bury with the feet to the North and the 2,000,000 of ...
298. Collapsing Tests of Time [Books] [de Grazia books]
... world, nothing in the order of skies is taken for granted, and, for calendar anniversaries, for festivals, and for public policy decisions, expert moon-watchers of the priesthood decide precisely when a moon should be termed full or new. Practically all human constructions that have survived from earliest times are temples, temple-connected, or astronomical. The megaliths, found in many the age of surviving records, that is, the Middle Bronze (Mercurain) and Late Bronze (Venusian) Ages, scientific observations of solar, lunar, stellar, and planetary movements were recorded in several countries; they differ from the observations that scientists today would make of the same movements. The ancients numbered ...

... has been investigated by Dr. B. VAN DER WAERDEN (SISR III:2 , 1978, p. 40) looks to be to the point; if such a discontinuity can be confirmed, it will have a significant effect on the dating of a great many earlier events, including the dating of the Phaeton episode and the various megalithic monuments so thoroughly studied by DR A. THOM. APPENDIX VI - IDENTIFICATION OF THE HOUR STARS The implications of the choice of particular hour stars can be extensive. We have confirmed that it was rising stars which were being observed - whether this was "true" rising (i .e . time of rising through a sea horizon ...

... reported by John Michell in A little history of Astro-archaeology (Thames & Hudson, London, 1977). A tolerance of plus or minus 200 years on this date is cited, together with a comment that Thom's most recent survey brings the date back to about 1600 BC. Douglas C. Heggie, in a summary statement included in his Megalithic Science (Thames & Hudson, London, 1981), p. 151, reports that the Thom survey produces outer limits of 1500 BC and 2100 BC (mid-point 1800 BC) for the dating of the solstitial axis of Stonehenge. 19. Explanatory supplement to the Astronomical Ephemeris and the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac (HMSO, 1961 ...
