... supposed to have turned completely over, so that the sun rose in the west and set in the east. Dr Velikovsky argues that between the fifteenth and eight centuries B.C . the length of the year was 360 days and that it suddenly increased to 365 1/4 days in 687 B.C . The orbit of the moon and the length of the month were also changed...[1 ] In short, Velikovsky's research among the ancient records of man - records ranging from unequivocal statements in written documents, through remembrances expressed in myth and legend, to mute archaeological evidence in the form of obsolete calendars and sundials - and his examination of geological and ...
642. Calendars [Journals] [Kronos]
... (The Canopic reform under the Macedonians seems to have met with even stronger resistance than the essentially identical Alexandrian reform under the Romans.) The Egyptian, Julian, Alexandrian, and Gregorian calendars are usually called solar calendars, in that their primary purpose, it is presumed, is to follow the Sun, rather than, say, the Moon. (In the case of the Egyptian calendar, we have already noted that this presumption may be incorrect, and that the Egyptian calendar of 365 days may have been geared to Venus.) By following the tropical year, a solar calendar keeps the same seasons of the year occurring in the same parts of the calendar, year ...
643. Thoth Vol I, No. 26: November 15, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the conclusion of the 52-year cycle (noted in our previous submission)? An examination of the different contexts will show that the entire complex of "darkness" fears always recalls the same comet-like cloud descending upon the world. It should not surprise us, therefore, that the very same fear is seen in relation to the eclipse of the moon. When the moon was eclipsed, his face grew dark and sooty, blackness and darkness spread. When this came to pass, women with child feared evil; they thought it portentous; they were terrified [lest], perchance, their [unborn] children might be changed into mice; each of their children might turn into ...
644. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . Prof. I.yttleton theorises the once solid Earth formed its molten core suddenly, in a matter of hours the radius shrank 100 km. Since this catastrophe, the radius has been reduced a further 300 km. With the resulting squeeze throwing up great mountain ranges. There may be other ways to explain the extra acceleration on the moon, but the idea is notable for echoing arguments in Earth in Upheaval on the formation of alpine fold mountains. Also it is pleasant to renew acquaintance with the idea that Earth's rotation is not unalterable, and may change permanently for one reason or another. Rapid Onset Ice Age?Dr. Genevieve Woillard of the Catholic University of Louvain ...
645. The Birth and Death of Memory [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Disastrous Love Affair of Moon and Mars, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER FIFTEEN The Birth and Death of Memory In Pieria, Memoria, ruler of the hills of Eleuther, gave birth to the Muses out of union with Zeus, son of Chronos, and thus of the forgetting of ills and a rest from sorrow. So writes Hesiod, a contemporary of Homer in his Genealogy of the Gods. The Theogony was composed after 730 B.C ., that is, during or after the era of troubled skies; but it was a mythical work, "reporting" on events that had occurred hundreds and thousands of year before. ...
646. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the constellation Ursa Minor with the start Alpha Draconis as the head of the adze. The north shaft of the Queen's Chamber points to Alpha Draconis [5 ]. The Great Pyramid has now been dated to 2450 BC +/ - 25 years. This date depends on the astronomical phenomenon known as precession [6 ]. The Sun and Moon exert a gravitational pull on Earth's equatorial bulge, causing the axis of rotation to follow a circular path in relation to the fixed stars. This phenomenon takes about 26,000 years to complete. Today, the pole star is Polaris but in 2450 BC it was Alpha Draconis. Thus, the north shaft pointed to what was then ...
647. A Different View on the Chronology of Hazor [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... .. But its true importance lies in its connection with the stelae temple, for the symbol of the crescent, found in the breast of the headless statue of the deity and on the central stele of the temple is also represented here. So the woman on this standard must be the goddess of the temple, the consort of the moon god.6 Before beginning the explanation of this find, we must point out that the proof of the chronology's validity can not come from Egyptian sources or Egyptian-based chronologies like the Minoan, Mycenaean, and Hittite (since the Egyptian scale is indeed better), but only from chronologies that do not themselves rely on Egyptian connections- for ...
648. Venus and Sirius: Some Unexpected Similarities [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. XII No. 1 (Winter 1987) Home | Issue Contents Venus and Sirius: Some Unexpected Similarities Brian Stross Copyright (c ) 1986 by Brian Stross INTRODUCTION Venus and Sirius share the distinction of being the brightest asterisms (heavenly bodies) in the night sky, except for the Moon. But Sirius is a star, while Venus as a planet is a mover among stars. Nevertheless, Sirius in the Old World and Venus in Mesoamerica share a number of attributes quite apart from their shared brightness. Some of these characteristics- such as their color and the sounds of their names - appear to be arbitrarily associated with them, so that the ...

... the University of Ferrara and the Academia Nazionale dei Lincei, he wrote Leonardi about Bolsena and received a disappointingly assured reply: 10 March 1977 .. .I read with interest what you said in your letter about the Lake of Bolsena and the publications of your friend Juergens on the possible attribution of the craters and sinuous rilles' of the Moon and Mars to enormous electrical discharges, but I must confess to you that the arguments of your friend do not convince me, for a complex of considerations shared by almost all planetologists. I am sending you separately a work of mine on the origin of the sinuous rilles' in which you can discern my opinion on the matter. ...
650. Pterodactyls in the Mesozoic: A Flap in Time [Journals] [Aeon]
... of clavicles, convincing many in the scientific community of the close relationship between birds and dinosaurs, prompting at least one researcher to exclaim that the dinosaur legacy is alive today in the form of birds. [18] There's no real argument here, but there is a sizeable range of evidence for further discussion which needs to be addressed. Moon Over Miasma Pangaea During the Early Mesozoic- the Triassic Period- the continents of Earth were collected together into a single landmass now called Pangaea. This is the overriding reason why similar dinosaur fossils dating from that era are generally considered to be found broadly distributed throughout all the continents. By the Jurassic Period, the single continent was breaking ...
