352. Evidence From the Moon, Newgrange and Stonehenge Indicates Lunar Disturbance [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the full moon is carved on the rock there; at certain times this is illuminated by moonlight shining down the eastern passage [1 ]. Martin Bryne has reported alignments related to the moon in tombs at Carrowkeel in the Bricklieve Mountains, County Sligo [2 ]. These associations with the moon prompt further consideration of its role in prehistoric times. This paper seeks to bring together possible answers to three hitherto unconnected puzzles: characteristics of the moon which are contrary to expectations; neolithic glyphs or carvings on stones, including so-called cup and ring' marks; and the functions of stone circles and henges. A model is proposed based on evidence from astronomical and archaeological sources, ...

354. Jung's Archetypes. Ch.1 Of Racial Memory (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... unaware of psychological problems in this sense. Almost the entire life of the collective unconscious has been channelled into the dogmatic archetypal ideas and flows along like a well- controlled stream in the symbolism of creed and ritual...Before the Christian Church existed there were the antique mysteries, and these reach back into the grey mists of neolithic prehistory." The Church created a protective wall of sacred images. "People had long since forgotten what they meant. Or had they really forgotten? Could it be that men had never really known what they meant?...actually we haven't the remotest conception of what is meant by the Virgin Birth, the divinity of Christ ...
355. Sea Level Changes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... East, possibly in response to a crisis. As the Sahara began to turn from grassy savanna into desert, the Nile valley became important as a food producing area and came to support a large sedentary population with advantages over the surrounding semi-nomadic groups which still practised transhumance. The spread of farming after climatic change is also a feature of European prehistory. It was adopted as a means of controlling food resources, it has been argued, in desperate times. The shoots of grasses and cereals were the first thing to emerge in a fire blackened landscape - and important if game had suddenly become scarce. The severing of Britain from the continent is glossed over in most textbooks: an ...
356. Guidelines To The Saturn Myth [Journals] [Kronos]
... portrait has also been clouded somewhat by disagreements on some fundamental issues, several of them concerning my proposed "polar configuration". In 1972, while serving as publisher of Pensee, I presented to several of the journal's associates an unusual idea, one which (to the best of my knowledge) had no theoretical precedent. I suggested the prehistoric existence of an apparition towering above the Earth and centered upon an ancient sun god of the north celestial Pole. This old god, I believed, was the planet Saturn, the now-distant body which Velikovsky - for one - had claimed once ruled the Golden Age. Specifically, the suggested configuration involved a number of separate components, several ...

... hundred times greater than that which astronomers .. . are presently prepared to admit." Only nine months earlier- in November 1949- Professor Maurice Ewing of Columbia University had published a preliminary report of an expedition to the Atlantic Ocean.(1 ) In it he spoke of "new scientific puzzles.... One was the discovery of prehistoric beach sand .. . brought up in one case from the 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 1,200 miles from land. Professor Ewing saw a dilemma: "Either the land must have sunk two ...

359. Casa Grande-Another Indian Astronomical Site [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the summer solstice; but there is much more at Casa Grande. It will be desirable to describe the site and the people. According to the handbook, Indians began farming the Gila Valley of Arizona more than 2000 years ago. Their knowledge of farming techniques came from Indians who lived farther to the south, in Mexico. Today these prehistoric Indian farmers are called Hohokam. The language of the Hohokam is similar to the Hopi and the Aztecs. The culture of the Gila Valley Indians was distinguished by several characteristics. They lived in small scattered villages of separated single-room houses constructed of mud and brush. "Probably their greatest achievement was the development of an irrigation system in the ...

... ] would go back utmost to 700 B.C . or 800 B.C . They do not realize (even though the original synchronism is broken) that a fresh determination is necessary and that it is not necessary to cling to 600 B.C . anymore. This is chronological inertia', and it has particularly overtaken the prehistory of India and Iran. It is therefore very necessary to remind the scholars that Once the original synchronism is broken - the date becomes open: it MUST be determined afresh on fresh material, if available. It should also be recognized that all the other dates woven round it merely give a relative chronology, and would have to be ...
