... jade,"2 while the Pole star round which the "Bushel" (" Great Bear") revolves is the "Pivot of the sky". This pivot, which is supposed to be of sacred jade, revolves constantly "carrying round with it all the other heavenly bodies". That this concept was not necessarily of Chinese Origin is made manifest Chinese Stellar Swastika called Pa-Kni (eight chiefs). Fig. 32. Chinese Stellar Swastika, called Pa-Kui (eight chiefs), it includes stars of Phoenix and Pisces. According to the Mongols, the stars are "Eight Devils" who protect robbers. This evil stellar swastika was opposed to the North, In ...
232. The Mesoamerican Record [Journals] [Pensee]
... ceramics (Bernal, 1969: 106-7). Already in this general scheme readers of Worlds in Collision and Ages in Chaos will recognize a congruence. One of the first consequences of Velikovsky's alignment of the fall of the Middle Kingdom with the Exodus was to allow him to reinstate the roughly 400-year period for Hyksos rule in Egypt which scholars had originally felt reasonable (Velikovsky, 1952: 76). In the revised chronology this corresponds to the 400-year period covered by the Books of Joshua and Judges, and the shaking off of the Hyksos yoke is shown to be the work of a coalition between Saul and Ahmose in the 11th century. The suggestion is that this 400-year period was ...
233. The Carolina Bays. Ch.7 Deserts And Oceans (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... feature of these depressions is their parallelism: the long axis of each of them extends from northwest to southeast, and the precision of the parallelism is "striking." Around the bays are rims of earth, invariably elevated at the south-eastern end. These oval depressions may be seen especially well in aerial photographs. Any theory as to their origin must explain their form, the ellipticity of which increases with the size of the bays; their parallel alignment; and the elevated rims at their southeastern ends. In 1933 a theory was presented by Melton and Schriever of the University of Oklahoma, according to which the bays are scars left by a "meteoric shower or colliding comet. ...

... , and according to modern views, Emperor Yao (Yahou) belongs to the legendary period of Chinese history (which is usually divided into three periods: mythical or fabulous, legendary, and historical). It can hardly be called an argument, still less an "exposure " since in my treatment I deliberately used legendary material of ancient origin. King Yao was not my invention. "Every Chinese schoolboy is familiar with the names of Yao, Shun, and Yu," said the same Latourette in his The Development of China (1917, page 16). There he also said that "native historians" regarded this period in the Chinese past as completely historical. ...

" petroglyphs in the U.S . that are accompanied by what appears to be a Celtic Ogam inscription identifiable as G-R-N, which is readable as Ogam consaine (vowel-less Ogam) for Old Irish grian, which today means "Sun." However, it would be interesting to know the etymology of Gaelic grian to see if it might originally have referred to some other Solar System body. Dwardu Cardona replies: As the Editor of AEON, I must begin first by thanking Mr. Smith for the kudos, hoping that he will find the present issue just as "handsome" and "uniformly interesting and thought-provoking" as IV:6 . As one of the original proponents ...

... Judges) during the united monarchy phase but derived from even earlier material, such as the Book of the Wars of Yahweh (Numbers 21:14). [3 ] Various clues tend to date the pre-Deuteronomist compiler, or editor. The very name Joshua, for example, meaning "Yahweh is deliverance": [4 ] the original name appears to have been Hoshea (Numbers 13:16), indicating the compiler may have belonged to a historical period when Yahweh dominated both the southern (Judah) [5 ] and northern kingdoms- such as the relatively short period of united monarchy, the reigns of David and Solomon. This may explain the superficial indications of ...
237. Letters [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. II No. 3 (Feb 1977) Home | Issue Contents Letters .. . MYERS' "CONTROL SYSTEM" AND THE HOLOCAUST To the Editor: In "Sin and the Control System" (KRONOS 11, 2, 1976, 77-91) John V. Myers convincingly argues the cosmic-catastrophic origins of major religious texts, as well as of notions of "sin" and of certain subsequent historical events such as witch-hunts and pogroms. To summarize, Myers holds that "uniformitarian scholars [who] do not believe in cataclysms and in the cosmic origins of religion... can seldom catch a religion at the precise moment of its inception [ ...
238. The Inconstant Heavens [Books] [de Grazia books]
... how radical is this change that has challenged three hundred years of cosmological thought and has brought us back to the arguments of William Gilbert (1544-1603) and Johann Kepler (1571-1630)[1 ]. The newness of the revolution is evinced by the Einstein-Velikovsky correspondence wherein the former soon accepted as tenable the hypothesis of global catastrophes and, though originally quite opposed, at last became sympathetic even to the hypothesis of a recent origin of Venus as a planet. However, he persistently rebutted to the end of his life all argument that electricity and magnetism affect the motions of heavenly bodies. Whereas astronomers are perplexed at the implication of the new picture of the universe as derived from the ...
... Chapter XXXV The Origin of Egyptian Astronomy (Continued)- The Thebes School THE next question which arises now that we have considered the facts relating to the astronomy of Northern Egypt is one connected with the cults which we have proved to come down the Nile. Were they indigenous or imported? Although I have put it forward with all reserve, there is evidence which suggests that the temples so far traced sacred to the southern cult are of earlier foundation than those to the north, and they are associated with Edfû and Philae, which are known to be of high antiquity. This is one point of difference. Another is that the almost entire absence of Set temples and ...

Stanley (Basic Books Inc., New York, 1981; £9 .50 hardback) TREVOR PALMER Dr Trevor Palmer is Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry in the Department of Life Sciences, Trent Polytechnic. Interdisciplinary science, as readers of this journal know only too well, has its own special problems.
