... 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 ...
242. In Defense Of The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... , I do not much blame him. Even so, if one is going to criticize a theory, one should at least familiarize oneself with its basic tenets. With all due respect, I cannot quite see that James has. X In a different vein, James accuses us of having "ignored the mounting evidence for global disasters in prehistoric and historic times." [105] Among these he mentions the Alleröd conflagration at the end of the Ice Age, the catastrophic flooding of the Black Sea during the Neolithic, the massive upheavals which destroyed the Early Bronze Age civilizations, and the "mini-catastrophe" which ended the Late Bronze Age. To which he adds: " ...
243. Part III: The Legends [Ragnarok] [Books]
... , "is direct proof that men lived in England prior to the last inter-glacial period."5 The evidences are numerous, as I have shown, that when these deposits came upon the earth the face of the land was above the sea, and occupied by plants and animals. The accompanying cut, taken from Sir John Lubbock's "Prehistoric Times," page 964, represents the strata at St. Acheul, near Amiens, France. The upper stratum (a ) represents a brick earth, four to five feet in thickness, and containing a few angular flints. The next (b ) is a thin layer of angular gravel, one to two feet in thickness ...

245. The Newark Holy Stones [Journals] [Horus]
... researches in Ohio mounds shows relics of a vanished race. We are so accustomed to think of America as a New World, the assertion of a recent writer that America is an Old World, as compared to other countries is this respect, comes upon the reader as something of shock. But when we find how lavishly the remains of prehistoric races are scattered over the length and breadth of the North American continent, we realize that ancient monuments are no more numerous on this side of the Atlantic, than over there. When we consider the work left by the lost races we are constrained to admit that the prehistoric relics of America are as interesting as any yet discovered within ...
246. The End of a World (Built Before the Flood) [Books]
... in the heavens, the waters of the Pacific (and all the other oceans of the Earth) swelled, and great tidal waves washed far beyond the wonted shores. Such encroachments occurred again and again, and with greater and greater vehemence, at every conjunction of the Earth with the small outer planet. At last the authorities of the prehistoric realms which then flourished in the regions affected by the tides grasped the real meaning of these phenomena, discovered their cause, and became aware of the terrible danger which was threatening. Then it was found that the traditions, sagas, and myths of the great time of stress in the past, which had become little more than indistinctly ...
247. Quantalism: the Big Picture [Articles]
... have treated the adverb trís as a conventional numerical, in the tradition of (pre-Christian) religious trinitarianism, with the result that the entire compound, shorn of verbal extravagance, comes to mean little more than "very great." Quantalistically speaking, however, this epithet may be taken at face value to indicate that, on three separate prehistoric occasions, the planet Mercury approached the earth so closely as to appear to be the largest object in the sky. During the 3rd century of our era, the leading deity of the Roman Empire was Sol Invictus, "the unconquered sun." Its cult was promoted by the Syrian- born emperor Elagabalus, whose Semitic name meant ...
248. Volcanism [Books] [de Grazia books]
... either that a local rock crisis has been settled or that the global volcanic system has been shutting down its ramifications and further extensions. Many hills and uplifts, whence gases and lava have never escaped, are in the same fossil status. A major exoterrestrial encounter, the only event that can excite general volcanism, would reinvigorate the pattern of prehistoric and present volcanism insofar as the force vectors of the encounter prescribe, and would excite new volcanism wherever new stresses were imposed. Ultimately, geophysics should be able to locate as a set of overlays the total historical series of exoterrestrial encounters in fossil and live volcanism and go so far as to discover or substantiate the detection of their avenues ...
... of the end of an old state of things and the beginning of a new age has never yet been attributed to the human intellect. Nevertheless, helped, perhaps, by ideographic devices, the stories have come down untold centuries many thousands of centuries, perhaps, in certain instances. The static character of early historical, and therefore also prehistoric, culture will have been very instrumental in this. It is the introduction of artificial memories, of books, that has given us a wrong idea of the storing and recording power of the human brain; it is the use of writing that has destroyed much of this most primitive and important capacity of man. Such views will also ...
250. Thundergods and Thunderbolts [Journals] [Aeon]
... study of the sun in ancient rock art, Miranda Green documented the prevalence of this motif: "In Egypt, Greece and many other literate cultures of the ancient world, the all-seeing role of the sun gave it an association with the eye." [49] Figure 8 It is instructive at this point to review the evidence from prehistoric rock art. Consider the pictograph shown in Figure 7. As we have documented [50] , this image was commonly thought to depict the sun-god's "eye." This very image, in fact, is depicted on countless cylinder seals from ancient Mesopotamia, where it serves to symbolize Shamash, the Semitic sun-god. Closely related forms ...
