... ) Krupp adds his own touch by specifying the Carlsbad Caverns,(21) though he surely must have known that even Sagan saw through the falsehood of this whole argument.(22) (c ) Krupp claims that a change in the Earth's geographical poles since 1500 B.C . is negated by the accurate alignment of the Great Pyramid at Giza with the cardinal directions. Again, Krupp seems to be unaware that Velikovsky himself had already countered this argument;(23) and though Cardona has not accepted Velikovsky's explanation in its entirety,(24) both investigators have indicated that there is nothing erroneous in the supposition that the Earth's tilt could have subsequently corrected itself. ...
122. Conference: Our Violent Solar System [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Rick Smith's animations of different phases of the polar configuration. The revolving crescent is only the beginning! He's pictured so much of ancient traditions with this one planetary model. The personalities of the gods, the sidelock of the priests, the feather of evening and dawn, the crown of the pharaoh, feathered headdresses, the steps of the pyramids, coils of the serpent, locks of Medusa, the wheel of the sun (the progenitor of prayer wheels, calendar wheels, chariot wheels, etc.) I could go on and on. Some of Dave's recent attachments (see his Kroniatalk post from 9/16 titled "Twins and Conical Crown") give a tantalizing ...
123. Brains Trust - Chronology and Ancient History [Journals] [SIS Review]
... as graves and shelters. Some so-called graves have no evidence of burials, some have adaptations to become burials and there are others which were obviously intended to be graves from the start. It is dangerous to speculate on the purpose of any mound with stone passageways under it. Comment - Brian Moore said that both Velikovsky and Duncan Steel suggested Pyramids were designed as shelters, as did Comyns Beaumont. Len Saunders said the pyramids offered protection for eternity and were designed to keep people dry at a time when there was jungle in the Western desert. They stopped building pyramids when the climate changed to the dry weather we have there today. Q4. Why, in the list of ...
124. Ice Cores and Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 5 ] gives an excellent explanation of how this date was arrived at in a very hit and miss manner. Herodotus, who visited Egypt some 200 years before Manetho invented his list and spoke with the priests, certainly knew that Min or Menes was the first ruler of a united Egypt and placed before Cheops, Chephren and Mycerinus, the pyramid builders. He was also told of a great king Sesostris (of Manetho's 12th Dynasty) whose conquests extended as far as the Danube. Hence the sub-title of my 1978 book - Who was Sesostris I?. Herodotus also visited Babylon and described the great walls of that city with its glazed tiles. When the Germans excavated Babylon before ...

... it yields good agreement with the attested 30-day months of the Hammurabi Dynasty. On the other hand, it is not strictly speaking a solution of the Venus Tablets, because the date of Year 1 will not fit. It may be that a revision of the astronomical tables will remove this anomaly. John D. Weir, Edinburgh Dead Sea Pyramids?On a visit to Israel in 1995 we visited the Dead Sea, which is now shrinking because of falling water levels. The above photograph was taken by another member of our group as we descended from Masada in the cable car. We had just seen the marching camps of the Roman legions and were looking out over the salt ...

... ,000 years, to be so well preserved that they can be used to calibrate radiocarbon datings much earlier than the usual 10,000 years ago. Doubtful datings New Scientist 4.10.97, p. 11, BBC2 Horizon 2.4 .98 In Greece researchers have used the technique of thermoluminescence to redate two small Greek pyramids in the Peloponnese from 400 BC, determined by associated artefacts, back to the third millennium BC, at the supposed time of the Egyptian pyramids! There is even a 500 year gap between the two, which should have alerted their suspicions, but they are convinced that their method, which relies on the theory that the innermost surfaces ...
127. Forum Part Two [Journals] [SIS Review]
... have been organised world-wide. Dozens of astronomers around the globe are now involved in research projects, focusing on past, present and future cosmic catastrophes [7 ]. Above all, it has been argued that both the emergence and the collapse of human cultures, (e .g . the origin of metallurgy, the construction of the Egyptian pyramids, the destructions of the Bronze Age civilisations in the Near East and the Mediterranean, the collapse of the Roman Empire, the rise of Judaism and Islam, etc) should be associated with extra-terrestrial episodes of destruction [8 ]. All these new findings and developments of astronomical and archaeological research seem to verify Velikovsky's main idea: that ...

... Chetwynd). Thus Sargon of Assyria, on my model, did not introduce the scimitar. He adopted it from the Israelite-Hyksos he defeated. (3 ) Although iron technology was available in limited quantities from the time of the Middle Bronze II B-C, which I place around 1000-950 BCE, it was not necessary for the building of the pyramids. Here, I refer Heinsohn to The Pyramids: An Enigma Resolved by Professor Joseph Davidovitz, 1988, with its compelling argument that the pyramids were built of concrete, or "liquid stone," whose secrets were shrouded in the mysteries of alchemy, later recalled in the masonic traditions. Vast numbers of iron tools were not necessary ...

130. Night of the Gods: The Pillar [Books]
... superposed squares at the base of the drawing, show that the pillars are octagonal (which Mr. Colquhoun took for mere corner-bevelling) giving us the Chinese (and Egyptian) sacred number of the KWANN YU Eight half-cardinal points. "A small cap is usually fixed on the top," and about mid-height the pillar transfixes the inverted truncated pyramid shown. Mr. Colquhoun considers them " symbols of Nature worship," but does not define the meaning he here gives the word Nature. There are also timber wei-kan. Some 5 days later, near Mau-kai, " the number of pai-fang, wei-kan, and temples was remarkable." Several primitive types of wei-kan were seen. ...
