262. Book Review [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 2 No 2 (Nov 1979) Home | Issue Contents Book Review The Twelfth Planet by Zecharia Sitchin Published by G. Allen Unwin, 1977 . Review by Peter James AT FIRST glance this well-produced and, on the whole, pleasantly written volume offers the promise of being a stimulating and serious attempt to reinterpret ancient Near Eastern religion and human prehistory. Relying on Babylonian and Biblical mythology in the main, and displaying some apparent erudition, Sitchin develops a model for the origins of civilisation that reminds one at once of the catastrophist theories of Immanuel Velikovsky and Robert Temple's Claim of extraterrestrial intervention in the ancient Near East. The primum mobile of Sitchin's cosmos is a hypothetical twelfth planet' ...

Catastrophism Review 1998:2 (Mar 1998) Home | Issue Contents Unorthodox evidence from Mexico Impossible 250,000 Year Old Mammoth Hunters Near the volcano Popocatepetl, 100 miles east of Mexico City, lies a region of badlands famous for over a century for its amazing collection of Ice Age (Pleistocene) faunal remains. In 1935 a young prehistorian, later to be Professor Juan Armenta Camacho, came across the bones of a mammoth eroding in a dry valley. Embedded in the huge leg bone was a flint spear point. Over the next 30 years he amassed a collection of over 3000 fossil bones, many with cut and fracture marks indicating human butchering, including a jaw bone ...

... briefly to "certain ritual practices like trepanation (which also developed obsessive proportion in Late Neolithic and Beaker time in Western Europe)." The practice extended in North Africa from the Canary Islands through the Berber lands at least as far as Egypt. It was performed in Mesoamerica as well. George Sarton writes in his history of science of prehistoric skulls that have come down to us with evidences of trepanation (trephination) performed upon them in life. The trepan is a saw for cutting holes in or removing pieces from the skull. It is a dangerous operation, hardly on a plane with piercing the nostrils to hold decorative devices. (But why are these devices so near ...
268. The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... of the first, suggesting an ovoid shape of a massive gas or debris cloud moving around Venus. The third, also represented globally, is presented in so many variations that we will have to approach these variations with a good deal of discrimination. But these three illustrations reflect numerous ancient drawings of the way "heaven" looked in the prehistoric period, when the myths and first astronomies present Saturn, ruling alone, as Universal Monarch, distinguished by the solitary eye, heart, or soul. Conventionally, images of this sort are called "sun signs," which should be the first clue that there is something terribly wrong in the accepted approach to ancient symbolism. As ...
269. Freud's Descent Into Hades. Ch.1 Of Racial Memory (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... parted with Jung, who tended to mysticism, and with Adler, who tended to socialism. In that year Freud published Totem and Tabu, an analytical study of ancient and partly also of modem folklore culled mostly from Frazer's Golden Bough. Freud endeavored to evince from various rites and observances the surviving traces of patricide practices in the cave of prehistoric man: the grown-up sons used to kill their fathers and possess their mothers, a violent act in consummation of the Oedipus complex, the son's sexual attachment to his mother. Freud "felt that religious ceremonials and individual psychological reactions still bear witness to the unconscious persistence of memories of archaic situations, anxieties, feelings of guilt, and ...

... have already predicted. We thus appear to have identified the actual body involved and there is reason to believe we can calculate the broad outline of its evolution, including that of the meteor stream it produced, from the behaviour of the remnants now left in the sky. There can be little doubt that it was the dominant feature of the prehistoric sky and that it would have taken pride of place in any ancient theorist's attempts to comprehend his environment. All the more so when it is realized that the Earth would have run through this exceptional meteor stream at least once a year, perhaps for a period lasting several days, each time producing a veritable cascade of fireballs and shooting ...
