... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 6 Dragons and Serpents The figure of the dragon or serpent is peculiar to mythology, it is probably the most puzzling of all the creatures with which this science has to deal. The serpent or dragon myths are not confined to any people, nor to any clime. Everywhere the creature would seem to be indigenous. It is familiar in north and south, in east and west, and everywhere its distinct reptilian me is emphatically stressed. This has been taken as the chief evidence that all dragon myths came from some common original story of remote antiquity. In ...
132. A Review of Wells's Review of Sun, Moon, And Sothis [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon Volume VI, Number 5 Home | Issue Contents A Review of Wells's Review of Sun, Moon, And Sothis Lynn E. Rose From Solana Beach, California, writes: In the Journal of Near Eastern Studies, Volume 61, Number 4 (October 2002), pages 311-315, Ronald A. Wells reviewed my book, Sun, Moon, and Sothis: A Study of Calendars and Calendar Reforms in Ancient Egypt (Deerfield Beach Florida, 1999). Wells lists the book as "vol. 11" of the Osiris Series; it is in fact Volume II of that series. This is but the first of many errors in the review. ...
133. Mars in Upheaval [Journals] [Aeon]
... left many craters as well as a series of grooves that run parallel to each other. It is well observed that both Deimos and Phobos are highly cratered bodies for their small size. In Astronomy for 1977 is presented evidence of the grooves: Viking has discovered another mystery in the most unexpected place- on one of the two small Martian moons. Mariner 9's mapping of both Phobos. . .and Deimos. . .showed many craters and left the investigators with the impression that they were merely rocky chunks that bore the scars of meteorite impacts. There was a puzzling feature on Phobos that a few analysts noticed but without better data could say little about. At the limit ...
134. Stonehenge - A Calendar? (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... as markers, what is the significance of the cremated remains that were in many of the holes. These remains are apparently from the same time period attributed to the holes, not from a later date. Concerning the Sarsen Stones, Wall states the purpose of the 30 stones as a means of "continuous synchronization with the phases of the Moon during each lunation" (p . 38). As the author stated, a lunation is 291/2 days. Wouldn't it have been easier to make one stone half the size of the others to keep exact count? In fact, one of the stones is noticeably shorter than the others but I find no indication of this ...
135. Noah's Vessel: 24,000 Deadweight Tons [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the side on your left when you face forward; "STARBOARD" is the side on your right when facing forward. "MAIN DECK" is the top surface of the hull in our case and "HULL" is the "board part" of the vessel, as opposed to the superstructure or "house part". A "MOON POOL' is a vertical hole clear through the vessel (rectangular in the Ark), from the main deck down through the bottom (most commonly found in modern drill rigs). "DRAFT" is the hull depth below water line. "FREEBOARD" is the distance between deck and water line. "METACENTER" is an ...
136. The Cosmic String of Pearls [Journals] [Aeon]
... to a new theory of mythical origins. The Great Conjunction One of the great enigmas in the science of antiquity is the widespread notion of the great planetary conjunction. According to an age-old tradition attested in cultures as far ranging as ancient Greece and China, there was a time when all planets- usually counted as seven including the Sun and Moon- were positioned in absolute conjunction, so that a single straight line could be drawn between the centres of all of them. This occurred in the beginning of time, the moment of creation if you like, and, considering the cyclical motion of the heavens, will occur again at the end of time. Both of these events ...
137. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 94, p. 18 and 14.1 .95, p. 15 The asteroids proper lie in a belt between Mars and Jupiter and have been the subject of study by a recent space probe. The rendezvous with Gaspra was interesting enough but now we have pictures of a larger asteroid, Ida, and it has its own little moon. Both asteroids have magnetic fields and parallel grooves similar to those seen on Mars' moon Phobos, which may have been caused by impact fracturing, as indicated by cratering. They also have deep, loosely fragmented surfaces, which is another surprise as their gravity is not supposed to be sufficient to hold such loose material. The grooves ...
138. Are the Moon's Scars Only 3000 Years Old? [Journals] [Pensee]
... summoned for revision. In celestial mechanics, all new evidence has conjured against the concept- basic in science until very recently- that gravitation and inertia are the only forces in action in the celestial sphere. The new discoveries are the interplanetary magnetic fields centered on the sun and rotating with it; the solar plasma; the terrestrial magnetosphere that caused the moon to rock when entering and leaving the magnetic funnel; the enormously powerful magnetic envelope around Jupiter through which the Galilean satellites plow, themselves influencing the Jovian radio signals. Who is the physicist that would insist that Jupiter, traveling with its powerful magnetosphere through the interplanetary magnetic field, is not affected by it? Or that the Jovian satellites ...
139. A Record of Success [Journals] [Pensee]
... which have confirmed Velikovsky's advance claims. (Velikovsky claimed in 1950, on the basis of a hypothesis concerning Venus, that that planet is far hotter than scientists expected. When Venus' 1000 F temperature was discovered, another scientist put forth the purely ad hoc suggestion that the heat may have been caused by a collision between Venus and a moon.) "Seldom in the history of science, " Ralph Juergens said of Velikovsky's predictions, "have so many diverse anticipations- the natural fallout from a single central idea- been so quickly substantiated by independent investigation." (" Minds in Chaos," American Behavioral Scientist, 7, September, 1963) Why then, have scientists ...
140. The Primordial Light? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the satellites of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn was also chronicled by Job, as is argued by Sieff (44), this being his interpretation of the phrases "Arcturus with his sons" and "the bands of Orion". There exists amongst the Pygmies of the Éfé tribe a tradition that calls Saturn "the star of nine moons" (45). The Maori also possess considerable astronomical knowledge, including that of a planet that wears a circlet or headband (46). The Chinese records tell of Saturn as "génie du pivot" (47), which connotation implies that the property of having satellites was well known long before the time of Galileo. ...
