... . In looking at Mullen's article, "The Center Holds," in the May issue it will be rather interesting to see what meanings may be given to geological epochs say 20 years from now if the revolution in thought that Velikovsky's work seems to require actually takes place. I am reminded here of a section in Melvin Cook's book, Prehistory and Earth Models, where he discusses fossil wood samples that had been recovered from the iron ore mine at Schefferville at a depth of several hundred feet below the surface (3 ). This material, found in a preCambrian deposit, he says was subsequently described as late Cretaceous rubble(4 ), but two independent and consistent radiocarbon ...
222. NASA Astrophysics Data System Abstracts [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... .. ] Numerous and mysterious geometrical signs of rock art demonstrate an external formal similarity and have a wide territorial and chronological spread. Circles and concentric circles, disks with rays, spirals, different variants of swastikas, spectacle-shaped images (dumbbells) and some other symbols are among them. They constitute a universal set of signs reflecting peculiarities of prehistoric consciiousness.

223. Book Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... various legends discussed in Part I, provides comparable evidence of a great deal of painstaking research on the subject. Part III runs through a fairly comprehensive list of explanatory theories, most of which are probably familiar or at least predictable to the initiated and semi-initiated alike. Briefly, these are as follows: (1 ) The legendary creatures are prehistoric hangovers. (2 ) The stories are political fabrications framed by our enemies such as the piratical Danes in order to create terror and confusion. (3 ) The legends are connected with the Gnostic sect which worshipped the snake as the God of wisdom. (4 ) The symbolic theory in which the dragon = the devil and in ...

... had vision, and what is more he was actually right. Harold Tresman, PRE-SATURNIAN- PRE-SATURNIAN TIDBITS A Note by Dave Talbott For a little over ten years I've been developing notes on a motif (and explanation) bearing on the question: is there PREHSITORIC HUMAN evidence of the Saturnian configuration? I believe the evidence is provided by the prehistoric mother goddess figure. In the earliest-remembered phase of the configuration, as I've noted before, evidence suggests that Earth was EXTREMELY close to Saturn. Visually, there were no distinct cosmic cycles, and the terrestrial sky was filled with what appeared to human witness as a shimmering cosmic "sea". It is out of this ambient " ...

226. Forbidden Science by Richard Milton [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... that physical chemistry, not "cold fusion" is the source of the observed heat', with factors such as tritium contamination in the heavy water and the composition of the glass of the test tube playing important (and predictable) roles in the results. (Cook has recounted his role in the cold fusion affair in his book Scientific Prehistory [3 ]. ) However none of this is mentioned in Forbidden Science - a curious oversight by an author who is so critical of others who suppress or ignore contrary evidence which they find inconvenient to their views. Despite these defects, just as in The Facts of Life, Milton has collected together some good material and much of ...
227. From Myth to Physical Model [Articles]
... transported both the storyteller and the listener backwards to the mythical epoch, which was experienced as more compelling, more "true" than the later age. That's why, among all early civilizations, as noted by Mircea Eliade and others, the age of myth provided the models for all sacred activity. 3 Recurring mythical themes are almost certainly prehistoric. The basis of this generalization is a simple provable fact. All fundamental mythical themes will be found in very early historical sources, and the related signs and symbols will be found in prehistoric settings. This rarely acknowledged fact, which could be easily disproved if incorrect, is of incredible significance. If early man was habituated to making ...
228. The Genie Of The Pivot [Journals] [Kronos]
... (2 ) Fragments of detailed history do not seem to be available from before about 2500 B.C .( 3 ) The earliest version of urban culture, however, commenced millennia before that. A substantial fortress was built at Jericho in about 8000 B.C .( 4 ) After that, there was a succession of developed prehistoric cultures, especially at Catal Huyuk in southwest Anatolia, Halaf in northern Iraq, and Ubaid in all of Iraq.(5 ) The steadily increasing sophistication of the successive nations led to the invention of writing about 3500 B.C . by the Uruk culture of Iraq.(6 ) During these four millennia there was a rise ...

... 1001 x 1101 (b ) = 63 x 13 (d ) = 111111 x 1101 (b ) = 1100110011 (b ) The reasonable presumption that this and other examples, especially as of 365, are not accidental, leads me to suspect strongly that the Maya and Egyptians, as well as others, knew binary positional notation in prehistoric times. Several lines of investigation can open this topic for serious debate, since any measurements or patterns or architectural positionings that employ the powers of 2, namely 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc., or implicit binary notation, can be adduced as evidence. In the 6th century B.C ., ...

... he wrote that he discovered signs of Klimasturz and inundation in Alasia, capital of Cyprus: "I left the deposit in situ to be shown and should like to show it to you if you can come over there. I shall be in Cyprus again next November.... These layers are contemporary with upheavals we know of in prehistoric Europe."(2 ) And the most important portion of the letter for my work was in his note to page 278: You wish that radiocarbon analyses be made of objects dating from the New Kingdom. I offer you gladly the material I have from dated Ras Shamra levels of the time of Amenophis III, IV (Akhnaton ...
