... and historical evidence for cosmic catastrophes, will be dealt with in detail in a later work.9 3. As we have seen in Part III, Chapter 2, Section III, No. 5, the `astronomical theory of climatic changes' (curves of Milankovitch and others) does not explain satisfactorily the climatic fluctuations which occurred in prehistoric and historic times, as records of Antiquity testify that the `precession of the equinoxes' was not the regular cyclic movement that it is believed to have been. Stars and planets may not, even in quite recent times, have followed the courses (in relation to the Earth) calculated by the astronomers. Until the beginning of ...

... the Dagda. He drove a chariot of white metal (it gleamed) and travelled through the sky. According to Ellis [2 ] the chariot was the sun itself .. . but why was it white ? Mag Ruith carried a wheel which could blind people and he was specifically associated with aerial combat .. . a sort of prehistoric bomber pilot. Phillip Clapham 1.

413. The Chaldeans of Sumer [Journals] [Aeon]
... common phenomena in that complex and treacherous subject, "Ebla" can be read "Eber" or "Hebrew." Finally, as with Mohenjo-Daro and Sumer itself, Ebla-when placed in the third millennium-floats in a vacuum, all its achievements lacking immediate predecessors or worthy successors, a puzzling precocious child, standing out alone in the wilderness of prehistory. Bring it forward, in conjunction with its contemporaries, and the mists clear-the perspective emerges. Ebla fits smoothly as a major part of the great West Semitic Hebrew civilization of the Biblical record. \cdrom\pubs\journals\aeon\vol0102\012chald.htm ...
414. The Avebury Cycle by Michael Dames [Journals] [SIS Review]
... was a region of the sky firmly embedded in the construct of Fussells Lodge long barrow which has been dated at 4235BC. It was also aligned dramatically with the stars Bellatrix and Regel in Orion. However, Waylands Smithy was sighted towards Spica in the constellation of Virgo (the Virgin) and to the Pleiades. According to Professor North, prehistoric Europeans aligned their monuments towards the stars but towards the end of the third millennium BC the focus shifted towards alignments that involved the sun and the moon. This curious fact coincides remarkably with the estimated disappearance of the goddess comet. From around this time, meteoric material, the remains of a defunct god (or comet), arrived ...
415. The Oera Linda Book Again [Journals] [SIS Review]
... erroneously according to Brierley, between the north of Britain and Greenland'. Zeno's Map of the North', in Hapgood's Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, shows an island, Frisland, in a similar position north west of Scotland. May I bring to the attention of SIS members a little known book, Comyns Beaumont's The Riddle of Prehistoric Britain (published by Rider & Co, 1946)? The thrust of this volume, which merits a close study, is that it envisages an entirely new outlook on the past history of the world in which the British Isles emerge as the predominant influence'. Beaumont believed that the Atlantic and not the Mediterranean was the focus of ...
416. Solaria Binaria [Books] [de Grazia books]
... idea necessarily arises that it has developed under time-collapsing conditions. Time measures - radiometric, geological and biological - that have been painstakingly manufactured to give billions of years of longevity to the system - must submit to a review of their credibility. The need to generate a new chronometry is enhanced by current reassessments of legends and knowledge that ancient and prehistoric human beings possessed. The authors would not have ventured upon this reconstruction of the recent history of the Solar System were it not for the fossilized voices whose shouts about their catastrophic early world and sky sound louder even today than the shout heard in contemporary science about the exploding Universe. Those anthropologists, archaeologists, and scholars of ancient humanity ...
417. Sky Dragons and Celestial Serpents by Alastair McBeath (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... had a black aspect to them, including Black Madonnas such as Our Lady of Walsingham, was the simple fact that humans, during a close passing by, could actually see the colour of the nuclei which is jet black. Returning to McBeath, he also says that concentric shells seen near the nucleus of Hale-Bopp are remarkably similar to concentric prehistoric cup and ring markings in NW Europe. However, he also points out that there are currently about 100 different explanations to account for cup and ring marks and some of them are equally attractive. On aurorae he mentions the International Auroral Atlas which is full of colour photographs. On meteors he describes the Leonids and other showers but fails ...
418. The Cosmic Origins Of Arthur (Book review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... interpret Reid's book in this light and therefore it does no service to the stature of British myth from which, as Sweeney ably demonstrates, Arthur truly emerged. In contrast Sweeney gets to the mythological heart of the history of early Britain in an inspiring way. In his preface he states that his aim is to apply Velikovsky's theory to British prehistory and he does indeed fulfil his promise to cast dramatic new light on an epoch previously shrouded in total darkness. Jill Abery ...
419. Possible Ways Forward [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a higher and more perfect state to a lower, baser level. Now if there were more advanced, superior, living and breathing, non-human, beings on Earth to guide and teach mankind, you have an entirely different concept of early human development from the conventional and it would accord with what the Greeks and Egyptians thought had happened in prehistory. Again, when the dating of the Old Kingdom was falling into place, towards the end of the 19th century, my understanding is that Flinders Petrie wanted an earlier dating than that eventually decided on. He wanted things to be older, to be dated further back in time than the agreed consensus. So I think we should ...

... ), a possibility not now much subscribed to. 2. The claim of a 1,000.000 years long Pleistocene epoch has been supported by many writers of whom J. Geikie (1877, The Great Ice Age, 2nd edition, London, p. 318); J. Hawkes and L. Woolley (1963. Prehistory and the Beginnings of Civilisation, London, p. 24; and B. Kuerten (1973. op. cit., pp. 101, 173) are prominent. Names given in Europe to allegedly separate major glacial episodes are Wurm (the latest), Riss, Mindel, and Gunz (the earliest). In America ...
