... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1997:1 (Oct 1997) Home | Issue Contents Pyramids of Tucume, The quest for Peru's forgotten city by Thor Heyerdahl, Daniel H. Sandweiss and Alfredo Narvaez Thames and Hudson, London, 1995 The greatest complex of prehistoric pyramids in South America lies on the coastal plains of northern Peru, yet until Thor Heyerdahl resolved to mount an archaeological study after his first amazed impressions in 1987 they lay virtually unremarked since viewed by the Spanish conquistadors over 400 years ago. This copiously illustrated book is the story of Heyerdahl's research, together with archaeologists Sandweiss and Narvaez who write their own chapters on the cultural and historical background and archaeological details ...
272. Moons, Myths and Man [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1993 No 1 (Aug 1993) Home | Issue Contents Moons, Myths and Man by H.S . Bellamy (Faber and Faber, 1936) This book appears to remarkably pre-empt both Velikovsky (catastrophe and the use of world wide myths) and Clube and Napier (a giant satellite breaking up in the prehistoric sky and being responsible for dragon and serpent folklore etc). It is a read I recommend to Society members and I wonder to what extent Velikovsky was influenced by catastrophic tomes such as this and others by authors such as Hoerbiger, Vail etc. From Bellamy's use of myth it seems to me that Clube and Napier are much nearer ...

... his extraterrestrial contact theory. It should probably be read in conjunction with Rudgley's book and his own Crystal Sun (See above). If Stone Age knowledge had led to the development of accurate optical equipment 5000 years ago then the astronomical knowledge of the Dogon may not be so mysterious after all. The Settlement of the Americas: A New Prehistory by T.D . Dillehay (2000, $25 50) Dillehay's team excavated the Monte Verde site in Chile, which showed that people were in South America perhaps 30,000 years ago and has led to a reassessment of how and when mankind entered the Americas. The book details discoveries all over South America but the author ...
274. On Models and Scenarios [Journals] [Aeon]
... Mesopotamia, Velikovsky might have avoided the most pronounced weakness of Worlds in Collision. Unfortunately, in seeking to confirm a 1500 B.C . catastrophe, Velikovsky cited mythical themes clearly discernible in texts composed perhaps a thousand years or more before the proposed event. It can be shown, for example, that the Bull of Heaven is a prehistoric motif, as is the battle of the light-god and serpent-dragon and the ambrosial "food of the gods." In fact, while Velikovsky's ground-breaking work substantiates a number of key hieroglyphs for celestial events, all of these symbols (hair-star, serpent-dragon, torch-star, sword-god, wolf-god, etc.) are present at the dawn of civilization ...
275. The Selection of the Site (Built Before the Flood) [Books]
... been able hitherto to give a satisfactory explanation, is the choice of the locality in which Tiahuanaco is situated. The problem is really a two-fold one: Why was Tiahuanaco built in that region? And why was its site just in that spot? The former question is less difficult to answer than the latter. The present environs of the prehistoric metropolis are disappointing, not to say forbidding. There seems to be practically nothing which might help to explain the flowering of so strangely high a culture in that region. The ruins of the great city are surrounded by a desolate waste with hardly any vegetation except rough grass; where no cereals grow except barley, and even this frequently ...
276. The Bottom Of The Atlantic. Ch.7 Deserts And Oceans (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... about the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the mountainous chain that runs from north to south, following the general outlines of the ocean. The Ridge, as well as the ocean bottom to the west and to the cast, disclosed to the expedition a series of facts that amount to new scientific puzzles."1 . "One was the discovery of prehistoric beach sand . . . brought up in one case from a depth of two and the other nearly three and one half miles, far from any place where beaches exist today." One of these sand deposits was found twelve hundred miles from land. Sand is produced from rocks by the eroding action of sea waves pounding the coast ...

278. Cosmic Catastrophes and the Ballgame of the Sky Gods in Mesoamerican Mythology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... also recognised that the two ballplayers created the condition for a less threatening world with this final victory over the chaos monsters [41]. The circumstances in which these heavenly events took place between legendary cataclysms is the essential part of the Maya traditions regarding the origins of the ritual ballgame. These catastrophes led to the end of the two last prehistoric world ages. Thus, for the Quiche, we have three races of man created and two destructions of man in the past, with a third destruction and a fourth creation promised for the future' [42]. With the victory over the threatening gods of the underworld, the prehistoric age is effectively terminated. Only after the ...

... lasted 30,000 years after the impact. But now evidence shows that the impact caused giant tsunamis, which jumbled debris from the impact together with fossils from different environments. Shades of the Arctic muck? First Settlements (Reuters, 19.8 .04; New Scientist, 13.11.04, p. 10) A prehistoric town, found in the western Sahara, is claimed to be 15,000 years old, 8,000 years before the Berbers. However, it had a complex organisation, with houses, a necropolis and a shrine and such an early date is based only on the style and themes of engravings, a dating method fraught with ...
