562. Exploring The Saturn Myth [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of Meldi has been compared by O'Rahilly with Gaelic Milheadh (and Gaul and Gael is interesting) and he sees a link with a deity called Meldos which also has the meaning of thunderbolt. The same name reappears in Welsh mellt (lightning) and Irish Singmell (= powerful or extraordinary thunderbolt) and in the Sons of Mil' (meteors)(?), those legendary invaders of Ireland and specifically associated with the Gaels whose arrival in Ireland O'Rahilly places at about 50BC (shortly before or shortly after the Roman annexation of Gaul). Lugh (of the Long Arm) put an end to the rule of giants by blinding their terrible leader with a carefully prepared sling ...

564. The Dust-up Over Ice Cores [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... called Ferrel Cells', whose ceiling lies at the base of the tropopause at 12-14Km, intermediate between the Hadley and Polar Cells. Dust Transport All the cells described above have the ability of transporting dust longitudinally within the troposphere. Some dust may be carried into the upper parts of the Ferrel and Polar Cells in the overruns. However, Meteoric dust from space, Siliceous dust from volcanoes, Salt from ocean spray and Aerosol molecules from various sources can all act as precipitation nuclei in the troposphere, where the larger particles are either quickly washed out or pulled down by gravity. Fine dust measured in microns that has entered the stratosphere by an explosive eruption or from outer space evidently ...
565. SIS Silver Jubilee Conference: Abstracts [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... words: I'm not a physicist. ' And neither am I. All I will do here is add a reminder to the effect that many were the things once thought impossible which were eventually found to be possible, and that many of these ended up becoming dogmas of science. Easily coming to mind in this respect are the occurrence of meteoric falls, the non-illusory nature of comets, and continental drift. But let's put all that aside for the time being. Allow me instead to concentrate on the demands which the Saturnian configuration theory itself raises, and whether or not these can be met. (Those interested may consult my two papers, "The Road to Saturn" ...
... Instead of un-hewn monoliths we have an avenue of austere, recumbent, ram-headed sphinxes, but can we doubt that the underlying principle was the same? In the prehistoric west they were erected of immense and powerful entire stones in accordance with the earlier religious belief or superstition, but at Luxor they employed sculpture, and in place of sacred or meteoric stones, not procurable, they overcame the difficulty by representing the deity Ammon by his emblem of the Ram. Perhaps by then they regarded it as more reverent. Yet, I suggest, the underlying idea was identical, for if Avebury were sacred to the Sun it was Hermes or Ammon who was the inspiration and who first proclaimed ...
... in the world. Melcarth is represented with his two Pillars, the Pillars of Strength, and on her coins Tyre used the symbol of the two Pillars round which were entwined serpents to represent celestial fire. It was Hercules or Melcarth who, by his act, threw the Giants into Hades or Tartarus, and here his adoring galaxy represent meteors, his angels or acolytes, each with a flaming pillar to dispose of. The Peruvians called the god Viracocha or Pachacamac, but the god was not in any way theirs. He belonged to their conquerors, and those, as the evidence shows, were the Phoenicians, whose ships sailed to all parts. Peru was surely the ...
... completely inaccurate. Then there is the question of the use of flint to which archaeologists attach so much importance. Flint is a stone of silica and chips easily when heated to a high degree. As I have shown, numbers of chipped flints have been deposited us areas innocent of human occupation and are explicable as the product of cometary or meteoric bodies. We possess, for example, the so-called Ice Age deposits at Kid in Holstein. This region contained flints "rolled and ground like all other loose pieces in the same stratum", simple fragments with a little rough chipping, some with one side shaped like a cutting edge, others pointed like weapons of war or other ...
569. The Day the Sun Stood still [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... day the Sun stood still. Even more suggestive is Herodotus' account of Minerva's yearly festival in Libya, which apparently coincided with her "birthday party" at Rome.9 In this ritual, the young virgins of each tribe divided themselves into two teams and proceeded to pelt each other with stones. (This was probably reminiscent of the meteor shower which occurred on the day the Sun stood still- Minerva's first "birthday.") Many of the young women actually died in the mock conflict. The Libyan tribes also believed that Minerva was in some way connected with Lake Tritonia, which lay nearby. Perhaps an unusually large meteorite fall into the lake during the catastrophe, ...
