... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1994 (Vol XVI) (Oct 1995) Home | Issue Contents A Life's Work?work reviewed: Scientific Prehistory by Melvin A. Cook (the sequel to Prehistory and Earth Models) Cook's 1966 book Prehistory and Earth Models set out radical and challenging ideas about radioactive dating, ice ages, continental drift, geology and evolution, combining original thinking with thorough scientific analysis. Prehistory and Earth Models was only made available on a small print run, with few copies ever reaching the general book trade, and as a result copies are very hard to find. It was reviewed in C & C Workshop 1988:1 . Scientific Prehistory ...

From: The Riddle of Prehistoric Britain by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part One: Britain's Great Antiquity Chapter I The Catastrophe In The North "Surtur from the South wends With seething fire, The falchion of the Mighty One, A sunlight flameth. Mountains together dash, Giants headlong rush, Men tread the paths to Hell, And Heaven is rent in twain." THE VOLUSPA. The British Isles and Scandinavia admittedly comprise one of the oldest land surfaces of the world, and, as there is reason to believe from archaeological and other evidence, one of the first inhabited by primeval man. They form part of an ancient continental surface, the Old Redstone, ...
133. Predicting the Past: An Exploration of Myth, Science and Prehistory by Roger Williams Wescott (Reviewed) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2001:2 (Jan 2002) Home | Issue Contents Predicting the Past: An Exploration of Myth, Science and Prehistory by Roger Williams Wescott by Roger Williams Wescott, Kronos Press, 2000 Reviewed by Jill Abery This book was advertised in C&CR 2001:1 , p. 33 (with purchasing details) as a summation of Roger Wescott's thoughts regarding mythology, human prehistory and catastrophism. For those unacquainted with Wescott's work it remains to be said that he spent his working life mainly in the field of linguistics and his many publications come with a deserved authority in this discipline. In less orthodox fields he was an eager Velikovskian ...

Vail Part 1 – INTRODUCTION The Annular Theory claims that all planets develop along the same general lines. Consequent upon an igneous condition, a system of Saturn-like rings, composed largely of aqueous and mineral vapor, are formed about the planet's equator. Such a system of rings once surrounded the earth, and by their successive collapse produced great changes during the geologic period. Their remnants, ...

... From: The Riddle of Prehistoric Britain by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part Three: The Cult Of The Underworld Chapter I The Hellenic Hades "It is clear that in very primitive ages the cultured nations of the Mediterranean regarded our islands with peculiar reverence and fear. The entrance to Hades lay in these seas, and here apparently Charon ferried the departed souls across the River of Death. The curious basaltic columns of Ulster and the Western Isles, and the awe-inspiring portals of Fingal's Cave, probably had something to do with these extraordinary notions, but it is certain that such stories were common gossip in the time of Homer, and that they were sufficiently credited after the ...

... concerned. Mr. Cardona seems sometimes to lose himself in arguments over details like this and entirely overlooks the fundamentally important features of Ballochroy and Kintraw. This is that both sites have very long alignments- 18 miles for the former and nearly 29 miles for the latter- which are essential if the exact day of the solstice was detected in prehistoric times. Because of the very small change in the solar declination at the time of the solstices the mountain peak against which the edge of the Sun sets has to be many miles away; only then will the edge of the disc reappear at the right slope (at midsummer) on only one day in the year and thus permit ...

CANON GEORGE RAWLINSON on The Phoenicians. THE Ethiopians enter early upon the scene of prehistoric civilization, and are ...
... From: The Riddle of Prehistoric Britain by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part Three: The Cult Of The Underworld Conclusion WITH the claim to the identification of Iona as the true birthplace of the Delian Apollo and all this portends, as well as its relation, including Staffa and Mull, to the Underworld cult of Osiris, Horus, and the Judgment Hall of Amenta, I must terminate this research into Britain's antiquities so far as this volume is concerned. I may venture to observe, however, that herein I have been able to do little more than reach the threshold of a subject imponderable and vast. A dozen volumes might be written without exhausting this theme. ...
