... one to deduce their great age". Map showing relative positions of Ica, Nazca, Cuzco and other Peruvian sites. If the stones are genuine antiquities, any description of the scientific importance would be a clear understatement. With regard to their origin, Afford follows Cabrera's surmise that they may be the work of survivors from a surprisingly advanced prehistoric culture, otherwise completely annihilated by a global catastrophe along Velikovskian lines. The cause of such a catastrophe, Afford feels, is most likely to have been one of the comets depicted in fearsome dimensions on many of the stones. While a "lost" Ica civilisation would hardly be the first forgotten society to be rediscovered by archaeology - ...
392. In Belated Memoriam: Charles Raspil (1947-2002) [Journals] [Aeon]
... by the theories of Immanuel Velikovsky and, later, to a certain extent, by the studies of the so-called Saturnists, he soon struck off on his own tangential interests which centered on recurring electrical discharges within the Solar System as witnessed from Earth. While he agreed with Velikovsky in that planetary orbits had not been consistent during man's historic and prehistoric past, he disagreed with him concerning the timing of these events. Likewise, while he respected the methodology of the later Saturnists, he distanced himself from their theory of planetary linear formation as expressed in their Saturnian configuration model. Instead, in studying early Chinese and Medieval records, as well as an encyclopedic amount of ancient art depicting ...
393. "In Search of Ancient Astronomies": A Review [Journals] [Kronos]
... Astronomy and Hawkins' Beyond Stonehenge. Let us be mischievous and quote Eddy's opinion on both these works. Concerning Hawkins, Eddy was quite blunt: "In his latest popular account, Beyond Stonehenge, Hawkins takes to the air again, this time on a largely undocumented, take my word for it, aerial tour of known or suspected prehistoric alignments, beginning and ending with nostalgic stops on the plains of Stonehenge . . . It is a book written for Chariots of the Gods and Secrets of the Great Pyramid aficionados (though not so well) in a style that will make astronomers wince and archaeologists groan."(11) As for Lockyer, Eddy had this to ...

396. Shifting Poles. Ch.8 Poles Displaced (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... of the history of the globe."11 He thought that a series of geological changes could, by their cumulative effect, step by step, destroy the equilibrium of the earth, on condition that the earth is not an absolutely rigid body. "The possibility of great shifting of the pole is an important element in the discussion of prehistoric climates and the distribution, geographic and chronologic, of ancient organisms. If this possibility is admitted, it will open new horizons for the study of great mechanical revolutions that the crust of the earth underwent in the past. We cannot imagine, for instance, that the terrestrial equator could take the place of a meridian, without great ...
397. The End. Ch.16 The End (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... of other world-wide phenomena. As important as the "world catastrophes" conclusion is, it grows in significance for almost every branch of science when, to the ensuing question, "Of old or of recent time?" the answer is given, "Of old and of recent." There were global catastrophes in pre-human times, in prehistoric times, and in historical times. We are descendants of survivors, themselves descendants of survivors. We read here a few pages, from the logbook of the earth, a rock rolling in space, circling with its attendant lifeless satellite around a fire-breathing star, moving with this its primary and other revolving planets through the galaxy of the ...

... a Ph.D . program compatible with her research. She has also published some of her poetry, together with short fiction non-fiction pieces. James Strickling is an engineer in the telecommunications industry. His avocation, however, ranges far beyond the sphere of his profession. Long engaged in independent research in natural science, ancient history, and prehistory, he has published various philosophical and analytical papers dealing with creation and evolution. He is also the author of Origins: Today's Science, Tomorrow's Myth. Martin Sieff, State Department correspondent for the Washington Times, has twice been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting. He is one of the four founders of the British Society ...

... member. Especially abundant were total casualties among mammals, and also among birds, amphibians and fish. The lesson learned from the history of the globe is that it passed from one condition to another- changed position in space, changed climate and order of seasons, with different distribution of water and land- and that throughout the pre-human and prehistoric periods there occurred even greater cataclysms than exist in the memory of man, as the geological and paleontological records teach us. Yet some of the animal forms, like the tiny foraminifera in the ocean, succeeded in surviving, at least in part, without going through complete metamorphosis. From the fact that in a matter of merely ten ...
400. Vishnu Born Of Shiva [Journals] [Kronos]
... offspring of Shiva. A Vaishnava would counteract by claiming that Brahma was born from Vishnu's navel(18) - and so, from a Velikovskian point of view, could it be said that Saturn was ejected from Venus? Be all this as it may: The term purana itself signifies "old" and it was originally applied "to prehistoric, especially cosmogonic, legends".(19) In other words, regardless of how late these "legends" were put into writing, they still derive from great antiquity. The question is: In view of their obvious sectarian bias, how much should they be relied upon? In this instance - whether we see Brahma ( ...
