... substantial alteration that occurs to me as possible, or even desirable, is one that deals with the psychological scars of human evolution - in addition to the physical scars with which the author has so ably dealt. Broadly speaking, I believe that our anxiety-ridden and irrationally destructive behaviour requires explanation and that the explanation is to be found in our prehistory rather than our history. Going further, I suspect that the emotional trauma which is manifest in human behaviour is not unique to our species. The xenophobia, hierarchicalism, and territorialism that characterize other highly developed animals seem to me to almost equally biopathic. Specifically, I would cite despotism among gorillas, cannibalism among chimpanzees, and rape ...
452. Palaeo-Egypt (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... Egyptian priests guarded in carefully kept archives (22e, 24e, etc) are based neither on Egyptian boasts nor on Platonic compliments, but contain simply factual and unbiased statements# In antiquity Egypt was still the guardian of most of the world's wisdom and science, and there is no reason to doubt that much of this was derived from `prehistoric' and even from exceedingly ancient sources. ...
453. The Descent Into Barbarism (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... `city' re-established, or the region repeopled, by the survivors of the cataclysm, is referred to in the following passages: (111a) `[ In the deluge much soil had sunk out of sight [but] in the remnant of Attica [23d] Gaea and Hephaestus, [about] nine thousand years ago;`prehistoric' Athens out of the mists of Ire-established the race [23c] from a small number who survived [23d] and Athena [re-] founded the city. [109d] They raised its population to the status of a great nation. ' The direct or inferential references to the Athens and Attica of Solon's, and Plato's ...
... Rome. In Britain the Cimbri were the once rulers and appear as the Gaelic peoples whose descendants still preserve their individuality as the Cymry of Wales, and other parts of the west where they were driven by the Romans and later by the Danes and Saxons. Tin is found in Europe only in England and was worked in Cornwall from early prehistoric times. Amber from ancient times came mainly from the North Sea and the Baltic. With these traces I should place the destruction of Atlantis by "Phaeton" as in the British zone. In addition to this the destruction of Atlantis or the destruction of the Cimmerians by the river Eridanus, which lay far in the north and corresponds ...
455. Earth In Chaos by Peter M. James [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... due to unbalanced continents temporarily altering the gyroscopic motion of the Earth is more acceptable than hypotheses involving cosmic bodies that have since disappeared without trace. Peter James has packed a lot of material into a small book. The contents cover Ancient Solar Observatories, Earth Wobbles, Megalithic Intent and Architecture, Precession, Cause and Effect, Global Catastrophes, Prehistory - a basis for reconstruction, Extinctions and Climate Change. It is an excellent springboard for all SIS authors researching Catastrophe and Chronology. David A. Slade \cdrom\pubs\journals\workshop\w1995no1\36earth.htm ...
456. Ishtar, Isis, Baal and the Aten [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... I particularly commend the comments of the authors of the Penguin Dictionary of Archaeology (Warwick Bray and David Trump), first published 1970, under the heading of Three Age System':'... Stone, Bronze and Iron, first formulated by C Thomsen 1816-1819 .. . as a system it was vastly superior to the undifferentiated prehistory which had gone before .. . has consequently largely outgrown its usefulness, and will doubtless be replaced as soon as some better one can be found and we can break the ingrained habit of glibly using the Three Age terminology. ' I trust that contributors to SIS publications will at least try to avoid glib' quotation of Three Age ...
457. Observing the Moon on the Horizon during the Early Bronze Age [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... .[2 ] To the controversial literature that has grown around this subject a new dimension has recently been added by McCreery[3 ] and Ellegard,[4 ] who draw attention to the difficulty of seeing the moon in daylight and in bad weather, and throw doubt on the possibility that the perturbation could ever have been discovered in prehistoric times. Neither author, however, quantifies the effect of these difficulties for the operation of specific sites at specific times in the past. Ellegard discusses the mathematical probability of a prehistoric discovery of the perturbation, but does not allow for the fact that climatic conditions in the past must have varied throughout the geographical range of the sites, ...
458. The Olympian Rulers [Books] [de Grazia books]
... enemy of Horus and even replaced him briefly in the Second Dynasty, probably as the result of a calamity. He is called Set or Seth. He has a peculiar dog-like appearance that, with his other traits, makes him comet-like. The Romans called a sea-monster whale "cetus", and a cetus appears upon some carved stones of prehistoric Scotland that represent catastrophes [7 ]. (See the Golspie stone of Figure 28.) The Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology [8 ] carries this description of Seth : "Set is represented as having the features of a fantastic beast with a thin, curved snout, straight, square-cut ears, and a stiff, forked tail. ...
459. The 'Unconscious' as a Literary Revolt Against Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Marxists and capitalists). The criterion most commonly attributed to U is that it held man and nature to be forever undergoing a constant slow rate of change. Even if no other features of the U paradigm were unfriendly to literature, this one would be fatal to amiable concourse between science and literature. Literature has undergone great transformations from its prehistoric origins onwards, but one crowning trait has persisted: literature depends upon erratic and sudden rates of change; it demands them; its humanistic quality says, "Give me surprising and revolutionary change - I must have such concepts as the Greek catastrophe, ' the turning down point, ' and only then can I give you a story ...
460. The Hunting Or Blitzkrieg Theory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... elephant hunting tribes of the recent past."13 Richard Carrington, a naturalist, has outlined the various methods by which primitive men in our recent past hunted elephants. But there is absolutely no evidence that proves ancient man used these methods. The entire overkill theory is based on the assumption that these more modern hunting techniques were used in prehistoric times. "The simplest and most effective of all elephant hunting methods, widely used in Africa until recent times, is the pitfall.... A pit with smooth sloping sides is dug across a path frequented by the quarry, and covered with branches and a layer of earth. One of the favourite places is at the ...
