... right, often they are not. None of these experts appear to possess the slightest knowledge of the initial causes which operate to produce sudden and violent disturbances of the elements. Presumably they are aware that both air and water are condensed gases, but why air and sea exist is one of those matters people take for granted, although the moon which is a planet has neither. There is reason to suppose that the oceans and seas are gradually increasing in volume. Where is the water coming from? Nay, where has it all come from? We are expected to believe that the lands on the earth's surface have been thrown up at different periods from a molten interior; ...
822. Weinert's Hypothesis [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 200 km tidal bulge on the open ocean. In addition, an east wind would be blowing with hurricane force in excess of 150 kph, which would help drain the lake and dry its newly emergent surface but hinder the people attempting to cross. The apparent diameter of the celestial body would be about 38 times the present diameter of the Moon, or 20.5 deg of arc, and about 1,400 times the lunar brightness at its closest approach. Furthermore, since Velikovsky had described it as being "candescent", such self-luminosity would make it an awesome sight indeed. Weinert attempted to anticipate some critical questions, which were outside the scope of his project, ...
823. The Date Of The Loss Of Atlantis (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... that may conceivably happen, and the one also that would cry out for a completely new departure in the reckoning of time, would be the transformation of an independent planet into a satellite of the Earth. Now, the Palaeo-Assyrians could not possibly have calculated by months and major lunar periods at the time when the Earth was still without a Moon; but when the unbelievable thing occurred, they might have felt induced to abandon whatever system they had in use and to adopt the convenient new satellite as their time-measure; probably there had already been `anti-solar' trends in their religion'. On the other hand, the Palaeo-Egyptians, who were evidently heliolaters of long standing, would ...

825. In Defense Of The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... as Ev Cochrane told me when we first heard James voice his criticisms at the SIS Silver Jubilee proceedings in September of 1999, he at first seemed to be making our case for us. Little by little, however, James began to introduce his own explanations concerning the prominence of planetary deities in mythology and their elevation above the Sun and Moon. Thus, in the published version of his critique, he writes: "When we compare them to the stars, it is not so difficult to understand why the planets attracted the attention of the ancients. The stars form the fixed' background of the night sky...The planets, of course, are far closer ...
826. The Astronomical Basis of Egyptian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the growing of the crop in the wet silt (November to March), and then the harvesting and so on from March to July. And finally, Sirius was equated with Isis, the goddess of agriculture and fertility. And so, to quote Censorinus: "The Egyptians, in forming their Great Year, do not take the moon into consideration. The Greeks call it [the Great Year] cynic, the Latins call it Canicularis, because it begins at the rising of the Dog Star [Sirius] on the first day of the month which is called by the Egyptians Thoth." Censorinus explains Sothis as the Egyptian name for Sirius, the Dog Star of ...

828. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... on various numbers of discards, but the whole procedure - including his ingenious techniques for establishing with near certainty whether any particular observation is timely or not is generally more complex than may appear from this brief review. Huber's treatment of the lunar data is also very inadequately covered in this review, but the dates of disappearance and re-appearance of the moon are treated very similarly to those of Venus. The "true" position of the moon is computed for each "possible" date and it is thus established which dates can or cannot be accepted as "correct" ones. Even in the case of the -1701 chronology, which gives the best "fit" of any of those ...

... nor destroyed," he tells us, "It's only transformed to a different energetic state." Plus, he's found a new book on meteor craters that added much to the "electrical scarring" scenario. A highlight from this book is a photo taken 30 km from Meteor Crater in Arizona. I swear it's like looking at the moon. There is a sinuous rille, complete with a hairpin bend, wrapped around a cluster of small craters. While shopping in Portland Wal found a plasma demonstration at an electronics store. He videotaped the demonstration. It's amazing how much the stopped frame of a charge shooting across a conducting sphere looks like the surface of Jupiter's moon, ...

... the stone axe which appeared to represent a powerful deity associated with death. This goddess was also often represented by a single standing stone. Pits were often associated with burials, probably as libation receptacles as some also contain evidence of sacrifices. Considering the orientations of the Salisbury plain barrows, Burl concludes that they were basically aligned to the rising Moon. Against this background we see the original mortuary house on the site of Stonehenge become surrounded by a ditch and bank. The building consisted of two concentric rings of wooden posts with the inner ones taller to support the roof. The main entrance was to the NE with a smaller entrance to the south. A single standing stone, ...
