... of the sometimes almost filigree-like ornaments. It is certain that the appearance of bronze tools in the culture-strata of Tiahuanaco coincided with the arrival of the new immigrants of superior race and high scientific and artistic accomplishments, who were responsible for the classic period. Copper had been known and used before, but the newcomers mined for tin. Evidences of prehistoric workings have recently been discovered in the Cordilleras about 90 miles from Tiahuanaco. The fact of the exceedingly great age of these workings is firmly established, for they were buried under a glacier and became only exposed a few years ago by the retreat of the ice. At that time also, plenty of good timber must have been available ...
232. Part IV: Conclusions [Ragnarok] [Books]
... elapsed since then the surface of the ground has risen only a few feet-not enough to bury their works out of sight. How long ago, then, must it have been that the race lived there whose pavements and cisterms of Roman brick now lie seventy feet underground?" Mr. Curtis does not mean that the bricks found in this prehistoric settlement had any historical connection with Rome, but simply that they resemble. Roman bricks. These remains, I learn, were discovered in the vicinity of Memphis, Tennessee. The details have not yet, so far as I am aware, been published. Is it not more reasonable to suppose that civilized man existed on the American ...

234. The Celestial Ship of North Vol. I [Books]
... recording of the most ancient classics. It may well be called the "wonder country" of the world. There is an Arab proverb, "Let us know the first, although the followers do better." In the second volume of the Secret Doctrine, page 432, Maspero is quoted as saying, "It is to this prehistoric race that belongs the honor .. . of having formed the principal cities of Egypt and established the most important sanctuaries," while Lenormant also cites Egypt as "the country of the great prehistoric sanctuaries, seats of the sacerdotal dominion, which played the most important part in the origin of civilization." "Egypt has kept her ...

... , a contemporary of Persian kings such as Cyrus. He may even have been a contemporary of the Biblical historiographer. In addition, the name of the god Shalman was discovered in LB age strata and a Temple to him stood in Jerusalem during the reign of Hatshepsut. Phillip Clapham, Haslemere, High Wycombe, Bucks. The Riddle of Prehistoric Britain It was disappointing to find such a lack of interest in the Oera Linda book, particularly in what appear to be parallels in the account to Jurgen Spanuth's hypothesis presented in At/antis of the North [Sidgwick and Jackson 1976]. So be it. The letter by Eric Cooley in C&CR 1999:1 has ...
236. The Stones Of Ballochroy [Journals] [Kronos]
... this star is the same one running to Cara in reverse, it makes the entire supposition a rather incongruous one. Did the builders first align the stones with Castor knowing that 300 years later the same sight line would coincide with the midwinter setting Sun as it brushed the island of Cara in the opposite direction? Or how could the same prehistoric astronomical sight line be allotted two widely divergent dates? - McCreery explains: "Retrocalculation of the supposed construction date of the alignment depends on obtaining as accurate a value of the declination for the alignment as possible. However this declination value depends on the estimation of the apparent altitude' to the indicated foresight which the Megalithic observer would see ...
237. The Great Father [Books]
... the savage. It is interesting that the advocates of the various evolutionary theories, in their fascination with present-day primitive cultures, almost never concern themselves with the oldest religious texts and symbols which have come down to us. The sacred hymns and eulogies of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, reveal a tradition of a "great god" reaching back into prehistoric times. Moreover, a comparison of early and later sources, rather than suggesting a development, actually indicates the disintegration of a once-unified idea into magic, astrology, totemism, and other elements with which the evolutionists associate the "first stages" of religion. 1. Atum, the solitary god of beginnings. There are grounds for ...
238. Sagan's fourth problem: Terrestrial Geology And Lunar Craters (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... , The Cradle of American Man, (1945), p. 15], wrote in a similar vein: At the present time, the plateau of the Andes is inhospitable and almost sterile. With the present climate, it would not have been suitable in any period as the asylum for great human masses' of the most important prehistoric center of the world. ' [On pages 1 and 39 he writes], Endless agriculture terraces' of the people who lived in this region in pre-Inca days can still be recognized. Today, this region is at a very great height above sea level. In remote periods, it was lower. ' "The terraces rise ...

A. Parry has written to tell us of an article by M. H. Voorhies of the Nebraska Museum with the title "Ancient Ashfall Entombed Prehistoric Animals". Apparently Voorhies has discovered over 200 mostly complete skeletons of ancient rhinos, horses and camels which he estimates to be about 10 million years old (approx middle Miocene Epoch) and which died a sudden and catastrophic death. ". .the prodigious ashfall blanketed hundreds of square miles. Herds of rhinoceroses, three-toed horses, ...
240. The Cosmic Winter by Victor Clube and Bill Napier [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ), some active comets (principally Encke's comet), a number of Apollo asteroids (notably Hephaistos), and the dusty solar halo known as the Zodiacal Light. A variety of impacts in historical times (including the Tunguska event) are attributed to the same cause, all the way back to Noah's Flood. The sequence continues through prehistoric times to a hypothetical catastrophe which triggered the last Ice Age - a particularly severe Cosmic Winter. There were still earlier swarms of comets, and their capture from Galactic Clouds is described - with major differences in detail - in both Serpent' and Winter'. It is fair to say that no one who had read both Serpent' ...
