... SIS Meeting 29th October 1983 (afternoon session) Comets- the Cause of Historic and Prehistoric Catastrophes Dr Victor Clube The chairman, Brian Moore, welcomed members and non-members, of whom there were a fair number [10], and introduced the speaker who was already known to members from a previous talk he had given and through his book The Cosmic Serpent which was published a year ago. He is the Senior Principal Scientific Officer, Royal Observatory Edinburgh and has written extensively on catastrophism, particularly with his colleague, Dr Bill Napier. Victor Clube: "Thank you, chairman. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I worry a little that I might say things that ...

... :2 (Dec 2002) Home | Issue Contents World Archive of Rock Art cronus.spaceports.com/~wara/indexe.htm The World Archive of Rock Art (WARA) is a large and fast growing compilation of reports, surveys, slides, tracings and photographs with a data bank and analytical studies for the evaluation of prehistoric messages and the meanings of symbols.

In 1983, UNESCO approved the report on "The State of Research ...
163. Indra and Brhaspati- II (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Indra are doubles of each other" and that "they are manifestations, like Zeus and Jove, of one and the same entity", Ashton meant exactly that. In his reply to my critique,(2 ) Ashton now "explains" that what he set forth in his original article "implied" that the identity was "prehistoric"; that "abundant traces" of that prehistoric identity remain in the sources; and that recognition of that identity was "lost" in later times. His original two-page article, however, does not present this concept and the word "prehistoric" does not even appear once. Small wonder that he finds my own comments to ...
164. Early Historic Man - Catastrophism and Calendars [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... and gentlemen, the first thing I will say is I will ask you to be quite indulgent for my bad English. You will hear a few horrors - I hope they will make you laugh - and if I arrive only at that, then it will already be good. I am going to deal with old calendars in relation to prehistoric man. You will realise that this is a science which is extremely vast, so I am obliged to compress everything: I can only give you the axis of the areas. First, why do we need calendars? Let's begin with some general ideas. We need, in fact, calendars for four different reasons: first and ...
165. The Ship of Heaven [Journals] [Aeon]
... to the primitive experience, in the conviction that they are most likely to suggest the true character of the archetypes. Archetypes in Art In looking at the symbolism of the ship, we must consider the interacting evidences of pictures and words, the one category serving to illuminate the other, and neither standing alone. Pictorial evidence begins in the prehistoric period, and includes as a most vital contribution the simple pictographs incorporated into the first languages. In a later period come more elaborate artistic renderings on papyrus and stone, often removed many centuries, or thousands of years from the primeval experience. Though the central concepts are not lost in the later epoches, the pure forms of the ...

167. The Impact of Impact! Notes on the implications and the reception of "IMPACT! The Threat of Comets and Asteroids" by Gerrit Verschuur [Journals] [SIS Review]
... published. One of the most noticeable changes from the 1980s (which focused primarily on dinosaurs and mass extinctions in geological time), is the growing interest in and risk assessment of the cosmic threat to civilisation. Moreover, a number of archaeologists, climatologists and planetary geologists have begun to search for possible impact events during the mankind's historical and prehistoric periods. This new recognition of historical catastrophism is the result not only of SL9 crashing on Jupiter but also the consequence of new findings of Holocene impact craters (e .g . in Argentina) and recent impact events (e .g . the 1908 Tunguska blast and the 1930 Brazilian event). If major impact catastrophes can happen ...

... two most prolonged controversies in the history of American geology."(20) But the paleozoologists persisted in ascribing the plants to the Age of Reptiles, and finally coerced the botanists into accepting their view. In the redstone wall of Supai Canyon in the region of the Grand Canyon in northern Arizona were discovered figures of animals cut by some prehistoric man. "The fact that some prehistoric man made a pictograph of a dinosaur on the walls of this canyon upsets completely all of our theories regarding the antiquity of man."(21) "The fact that the animal is upright and balanced on its tail would seem to indicate that the prehistoric artist must have seen it alive ...
