... Vesuvius, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, has been dormant for periods of over 200 years at a time, with people cultivating the fertile crater; and in May 1788, the Hill of Knocklade, County Antrim, Ireland, which though it is situated on an ancient bed of volcanic activity had been extinct from a prehistoric period, burst into sudden eruption, poured out a stream of lava 60 yards wide for 39 hours, and destroyed the village of Ballyowen and all its inhabitants save four. In July 1927, a volcano in Zarka, on the eastern side of the Dead Sea, which had been regarded as extinct for centuries, began to belch ...
362. The Pyramid Age [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... and the similarity can be extended - just as ley lines tend to be indiscriminate in the matter of time (i .e . neolithic, bronze, iron age, and even mediaeval churches are meticulously dissected by pencil lines in total disregard of the passage of thousands of years). It is probably true that some churches were built on prehistoric mounds (and Edlesborough in Herts and Warmington in Warwickshire spring to mind) but this can rarely be established with any kind of clarity. Likewise, Emmet has rearranged ancient history quite randomly, it seems to me, identifying EB IV Akkadians with Iron II Assyrians and the MB IIB-C Hyksos, and placing Dyn. 4 Egypt in Iron ...

364. Prelunar Culture (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... records of events which took place before the capture of Luna, and it is to be assumed that they did not start keeping their archives only then. Plato's references to a high Greek culture, which existed before the planet Luna became our satellite and annihilated it in the capture cataclysm, are also to be taken as essentially factual# Here prehistorians are ready to supply us with a very valuable support. Of all the pro-selenian cultures of Greater Grecia one survived above all others: the surprising Minoan culture of Crete. It is generally regarded as a `rootless' culture, that is, one which appeared `suddenly' in almost full bloom, without a long period of slow ...
... inscriptions related chiefly to the doings of the kings. When we come to read the story which Naville brings before us, it looks as though the greatest antiquity must be conceded to it from the fact that the god Horus- the rising sun- is accompanied by the Hor-shesu, the followers or worshippers of Horus. These people are almost prehistoric, even in Egyptian history. De Rougé says of them, as I have previously pointed out, C'est le type de l'antiquité la plus reculée. They represent, possibly, the old sun-worshippers at a time when as yet there was no temple of the sun. Now, in this famous myth of Horus, Horus, accompanied and ...

367. Diluvial and Prelunar Culture (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... ravines. How its transport in such rugged and difficult country was accomplished we have no means of telling. The easiest solution would be to suppose that when Ollantay Tambo was built its site was an island in a great Peruvian sea, or a fiord of such a sea, and that the transport was effected by water, just as at prehistoric Tiahuanaco. To the marvellous calendar system of the Tiahuanacans we can only allude here. The culture which must have been behind these remains of culture- that is what takes our breath away. In all the islands east of Tonga and Samoa we find the remains of megalithic structures. Hewn stones, often weighing many tons, carefully squared and ...
368. Palaeontology and Evolution [Books]
... , and logos = discourse) is the study of fossils (or extinct organisms). Initially the word `fossil' (from the Latin fossilis = dug up) could be applied to any object dug out of the ground. Since the eighteenth century, the word `fossil' has been reserved for any object indicating the presence of prehistoric extinct organisms. As such, the word `fossil' means the preserved organisms themselves or any evidence of their existence (for example, paw marks, tracks, etc.). The word is also used for evidence left by some past natural events, such as ripple marks, rain-prints, etc., preserved in rocks. ...

... of the spiritualisation of mana: firstly of how the "emanation" of mana and the course of nature are equated, and secondly of the spiritualisation of such equation: ". .. the principle which effected the specification of mana in spirits and gods occurred in the jugglery of magicians and medicine men. The fatality by means of which prehistory sanctioned the incomprehensibility of death transferred to wholly comprehensible real existence." "With the repression of the unthinkable memory of natural catastrophe, sacrifice increased - implying the recollection in Society of something that was not a primal component of the individual." From the sacrifices of ancient times the author finds irrational domination essential, even in modern science ...
370. The Variables in Climatic Evolutions [Books]
... climatology needs contributions from so many and varied sources of information that it is inconceivable that a single human brain could appreciate all the varied aspects of such an important question. Many books have been written on the subject and many more will yet be published. The geologist, the palaeontologist, the zoologist, the botanist, the archaeologist, the prehistorian, the anthropologist, the astronomer, and many others. all have something to say towards solving the problems posed by palaeo-climatology. Each discipline brings its own criteria to bear on a single aspect of the various problems. The conclusions arrived at by one discipline often conflict with those reached in others. Controversy and long discussions often result in ...
