... if no new tests are carried out. 58 The increase in the C14 level is certainly due to the release of large quantities of neutrons by the explosions. We may expect that huge meteoritic impacts will also start nuclear reactions producing neutrons, as explained below. Generalised volcanic outbursts not only occurred in `geological times', but also in prehistoric and proto-historic times (Bronze Age). Climatic changes of global character also occurred in geological, prehistoric, and proto-historic times. Climatic changes and volcanic activity may be the results of the same cause: cosmic catastrophism. 59 The conclusions arrived at by Crowe, and described in Section V, No. 4, of the present chapter ...
192. The Crescent II [Books]
... modern age. Yet so routine is the identification of the crescent-ship with our moon that mythologists give almost no attention to specific imagery suggesting a radically different interpretation. Having observed the "unorthodox" role of the crescent-horn, it is appropriate to note first that ancient symbolism always equates the great god's ship with the bull or cow of heaven. Prehistoric drawings from Egypt continually relate the ship to a horned creature and later Egyptian art continued the theme. (13) 92. The Mesopotamian great gods sail in the horned ship. The same connection occurs in many Scandinavian rock drawings. A rock picture from the Nubian desert south of Kerma shows the ship so placed on the back of ...
193. First Dynasty - pre-Flood or post-Flood [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Egyptologist competent enough to do tackle the task? The idea would be to look the other way (no Manetho's list) while evaluating the existing data on Egypt. Couldn't use carbon dates either, since these have been played with too much. Dwardu Cardona Replies: Egyptian archaeological strata are very rare. In fact, other than for the prehistoric period, none had been known until the last half of this century. Most Egyptian sites until then had been discovered ON the ground, and NOT within it. One early exception was Akhetaton at el-Amarna. More recently, however, new sites have been discovered BENEATH the ground, notably at tell ed-Daba and its environs. The stratigraphy ...

195. When The Comet Fell Ch.11 (The Riddle of the Earth) [Books]
... of the volcanoes traced in the earlier part of this inquiry. But a region closely concerned, where I venture to suggest the residue of the comet may have fallen- although a body like this is necessarily dispersed over a wide area- is Iceland. It is possible also that some day research and investigation in Greenland will reveal remains of a considerable prehistoric civilisation. Greenland, called by the Danes Cronland, or the land of Cronus, appeals dumbly to the attentions of the scientist and the prospector, who might be tempted were he to realise that the Greeks believed Hyperborae was paved with gold! Investigations in recent years by Sir John Murray and Dr. Johann Hjört, confirming the Wyville-Thomson ...
196. Centuries of Darkness? - a Challenge to the Conventional Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... valid. Centuries of Darkness is an important book because it challenges generally accepted attributions, not just in Palestine but throughout the Old World in the late second and early first millennia, from the Western Mediterranean as far afield as Iran. Its authors have brought to their task knowledge and expertise in the archaeology of Western Asia, the Aegean, prehistoric Europe and in Egyptology. Their work has benefitted not merely from the broad base thereby provided but from the exchange and cross-fertilization of information and ideas which has produced the synthesis of a major revision of the chronologies of the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages. Their main conclusion is that accepted dates for the transition from Late Bronze to Early ...
197. The Enigma of Tiahuanaco (Built Before the Flood) [Books]
... very apposite, and would, in fact, be borne out by the name which the Aymara give to the site: Taypi-acala, which means stone-building in the centre' (sic, of the world'). Hence it is not improbable that the name Tiahuanaco' is as clear an echo of the forgotten original name of the great prehistoric city as it is possible to sound across a chasm of time which may be hundreds of thousands of years wide.2 There is one other derivation, which is too peculiar not to be mentioned. The Quichua words Tiya-huanuk mean failing light', and are said to refer to the worship of the god Ka-AtaKilla, the Decaying Moon ...
198. Ancient Calendars [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... almost indisputable significance of most megalithic monuments is a primary solar or lunar alignment. It has become a dogma that the solstices were the most important days in the calendar (midsummer's day and, roughly, Christmas day) and this is assumed by Gallant. Early historical records do little to bear this out. The new moon festival lasted from prehistoric times right through the classical period. The celebration was suppressed in 692 AD at the 3rd Council of Constantinople. The very word calendar' means a count of new moons (Latin Kalendae = new moons). We should note that the age of Methuselah, 969 years, no doubt reflects the correction of a later copyist who found ...
199. New Paper on Bronze Age Catastrophes [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Mediterranean and North Atlantic regions. P. C. Buckland, A. J. Dugmore & K. J. Edwards in Antiquity 273 (1997), pp. 88-105 A first rule of statistics is that the existence of a correlation does not itself prove a causal connection. This is the heart of the recurrent question in later European prehistory whether in the Mediterranean or in the Atlantic northwest about volcanic eruptions, their impact on climate, and then of the climatic impact on human populations. The burial under tephra of the Late Bronze Age settlement of Santorini is proof of a particular catastrophe: but is there evidence of wider European calamity? A search for precision beyond that currently ...
200. Update on Nabta Stone Circle [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... stone structures, six lines of standing and toppled megaliths and two buried megalithic sculptures in southern Egypt's Nabta Playa 100 kilometers (62 miles) west of Abu Simbel. Radiocarbon dating indicated the structures were in 4,500 B. C. sedimentary layers, at least a thousand years older than Stonehenge in England. Nabta Playa is rich in prehistoric remains of the early Holocene age when there was rain and a lake, but no skeletal human remains have ever been found. Nabta circle schematic © Thomas G. Brophy Professor Wendorf and his astronomer colleague, Professor J. McKim Malville, reported that. "Five megalithic alignments at Nabta radiate outward from a central collection of megalithic structures ...
