... , and southeast of Reno another, Walker Lake. South of Salt Lake, near Provo, Utah, is Utah Lake - another freshwater lake. Since this area, at valley level, is almost all at the same elevation, I like to think that Bonneville Lake once filled the entire basin as one lake, rather than the two prehistoric lakes as postulated. There is a lot more I have wondered about, but the thing about it is, Dr. Velikovsky was the first person who offered me a small glimmer into all these things I was wondering about. He gave me an idea about all those red pebbles, about how those ridges could look the way they ...

... motif to be found in a great many paintings and is referred to in many prayers. The cult of the Sacred Heart of Jesus originated in the Seventeenth Century with the counter-reformation texts of the ecstatic nun, Marguerite-Marie Alocoque. In searching for the origins of this shape, the heart, one is led ultimately to a most common symbol of prehistoric man, the female vulva. The sign is often an inverted triangle. As such, it abounds in ancient caves and collections of ancient artifacts. That the ancient vulva had religious significance as great as that of the Christian heart is relatively certain. An abstract of a recent article reads "A carved limestone object found in the East ...

... provide a lot of evidence to show just this. There is a photo of beach rock forming on Heron Island, Australia, displaying much the same features as those of "Atlantis Road" in the Bahamas. This piece then regresses into a tirade against fringe interests, religions, "cult worship", and sadly against the idea of prehistoric trans-Atlantic travel. LIZARD IN AMBER - Nature 286, p.486-7 (31/7 /80) A descriptive account is given of the finding in the Dominican Republic in 1979 of a "lizard of the iguanid genus Anolis enclosed in amber". This amber is thought to be of Miocene or Oligocene age following the definitive paper ...
435. Culture Heroes (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... Coastal cultures are always higher than inland cultures, so we need not wonder that such groups of survivors were soon regarded as minor deities. We do not know the names of the peoples that inhabited the Mediterranean Basin or the shores of the small seas which were to be found there, but Greek mythology tells us of several groups of such prehistoric' artificers, some of whom were confessedly non-Greek. There were, for instance, the Dactyli, who knew the properties of iron and the art of working it by means of fire; the Telchines, who had changed their seats several times because their successive island homes were submerged, and who were workers in brass and iron as ...

... a ] magnitude up to that of the 1912 eruption of Mount Katmai, are simply one among many classes of environmental phenomena... that bring about intermittent and relatively short-range and short-term displacements of human occupants... and that affect material culture - if at all - only so indirectly that causal connections are imperceptible." Indeed, prehistoric Alaskan cultures appear to have been affected by factors much more widespread than local volcanoes. About 2200-2000 BC people of one culture spread across northern Alaska, through northern Canada to Greenland, but this Small Tool culture then ended, rather suddenly, all over Alaska between about 1500 and 1000 BC. A hiatus of several centuries occurs before reoccupation ...

... over an island. When her subjects rebelled against her she drove them all to a corner of her island which she broke off and pushed out into the sea. Wind and waves tossed the floating island about till all the refugees except two died. From this couple the Okinagans are descended. ' On the pottery of Tiahuanaco, that enigmatic prehistoric city in the highest Andes, the Moon is frequently found depicted. It is significant that it is always drawn as a tiny disk and never with its much more characteristic sickle forms. It is generally accompanied by the pictograph of the puma, a personification of evil; an indication that the people of that place feared the Moon. ...
