... From: SIS Workshop Vol 4 No 4 (Mar 1982) Home | Issue Contents Thoughts on the Cave of Kamares Jill Abery Caves are frequently a source of human artifacts and much prehistory has inevitably been reconstructed from such finds. The underlying limestone formation of Crete has led to the island being riddled with many caves of a great range of size, from small, dry crevices used for shelter by goats to many-chambered caverns with underground streams and stalactites and stalagmites. Some of the larger caves have yielded rich archaeological treasures, and a picture is generally presented of Neolithic man using such places for dwelling, with later civilisations turning them into religious shrines. I would like to challenge ...
282. Catastrophism and Anthropology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ? Do they really go back to a historical natural disaster - as the most renowned scholars of antiquity maintained? And secondly, what could have been their intrinsic dynamics? In other words: Why is it that a terrible catastrophe is commemorated in the form of cult games despite the fact that it was believed to have almost exterminated mankind in prehistoric times? ' Historical reasons for catastrophe rituals New scientific information regarding the cosmos and planets has radically altered ideas of the Universe which have held good for generations. The data regarding our Solar System and the history of the Earth, which has been collected by American and Soviet space probes over the past 20 years, no longer complies with ...
283. Our Universe: Unlocking its Mysteries [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2002:2 (Dec 2002) Home | Issue Contents Our Universe: Unlocking its Mysteries Annis Scott www.electric-cosmos.org/ouruniverse.htm What Kind of Sky Did the Ancients See? Long before there were telescopes, space probes, or shuttle missions, prehistoric man cast his eyes to the heavens. Pictographs and hieroglyphs of a great diversity of early cultures independently depict man's fascination with and fear of what he observed. Myths and lore tell of strange and violent events - terrifying dramas in the heavens and catastrophic changes in the cosmic order itself. Early man built temples to the heavenly figures that he worshipped as gods. The myths and ...
284. The Eye Goddess [Journals] [Aeon]
... Sumerian goddess Inanna, [33] although he remained pessimistic that archaeologists would ever discover their original significance: "The enigma of these unique objects is one that has long exercised the ingenuity of scholars. There is some satisfaction in reflecting that the true answer may never be known." [34] Similar objects have been found all across prehistoric Europe and Asia. At Troy, for example, "Eye-idols" occur continuously from the First Settlement (c . 3000-2500 B.C .) to the end of the Fifth Settlement (c . 1900-1800 B.C .) . [35] The cult of the "Eye Goddess" was very widespread, occurring as far ...

The other excellent material is provided by Alfred de Grazia (" Palaeo-Calcinology: Destruction by Fire in Prehistoric and Ancient Times" - a subject covered on his recent visit to London), Irving Wolfe (part 2 of "The Catastrophic Substructure of Antony and Cleopatra'"), Ralph Juergens (discussing Velikovsky's claims regarding the heat of Venus), Robert Bass and Robert Wood, who supply two reviews of the interesting book, " ...

... , and then _explained_ theoretically the remarkable phenomenon of a fully ionized plasma in the state of a liquid metal (rather than a gas, which is what all conventional plasma theorists believe is the ONLY possibility). Though he is not infallible, he is certainly a genius who has made very important discoveries. And his works on prehistory merit serious study. Cook is the author of the highly-scientific, very quantitative, and very difficult to read book "Prehistory & Earth Models" (PEM) published in London by Max Parrish & Co in 1966, but now out of print. The book is highly condensed, and reading is complicated by use of 3-letter acronyms for ...

... of Sahara, and that, - " In the bottoms of the dry ravines, or wadys, which pierce the hills that bound the valley of the Nile, I have found numerous specimens of flint axes of the type of St. Achcul, which have been adjudged to be true paleolithic implements by some of the most eminent cultivators of prehistoric science." 19 The sand and gravel of Sahara are underlaid by a deposit of clay. Bayard Taylor describes in the centre of Africa great plains of coarse gravel, dotted with gray granite boulders.20 In the United States Professor Winchell shows that the drift-deposits extend to the Gulf of Mexico. At Jackson, in Southern Alabama, ...

... when searching for the truth. Every piece must fit the puzzle. Some of the results are astounding on first meeting - for example that our Sun and all stars are giant balls of lightning - but so obvious and simple when the evidence is presented. That evidence comes from the totality of human experience of phenomena in the skies, spanning prehistoric cave paintings to modern space probes. This is as it must be. According to David Talbott's meticulous research spanning 25 years, the "Saturnian Configuration" was a spectacular arrangement of looming planets in Earth's prehistoric sky, universally remembered and depicted by the ancients. The appearance of that sky beggars even the modern imagination which has been conditioned ...

... .12.03; Daily Times of Pakistan, 20.1 .04; Scientific American, Jan. 2004, pp. 66-73; Current World Archaeology, No. 3, Jan-Feb 2004) Another Japanese forgery has been revealed. A carved rock with an image of a man shooting an arrow, found at the site of a prehistoric Jomon period settlement, appears to have been carved with a knife and not the implements used at the time of its supposed origin, and the lines show no trace of weathering. Cliffs in the Beishan Mountain area of Chinaare covered in carvings of Sun, Moon, animals and axes; also images of hunters and warriors. The first ...
