202. Plato's Atlantis and Prehistoric Europe [Articles]
... we'll have an insight into what a Greek thought the Egyptian ideas of prehistory were, or even what they should be. Personally I find Plato's ideas about what the Egyptians thought about history as fascinating as those of our old friend Herodotus- garbled and confused as Herodotus' Egyptian history is, he did manage to get the names of the pyramid builders roughly right; and from that we learn something about Egyptian mentality and their attitude to history- that they still remembered Cheops and company 2000 years after the pyramids were built. I know some of you might argue with that date for the pyramids, but they did remember the names of the pyramid builders at least a considerable time ...
203. Solaria Binaria [Books] [de Grazia books]
... they stood. The ancient late Saturnian analogies in legends of the rocking mill, the rocking churn, the ashwood rotating firestick, referred not to the precession of the ecliptic but to the wobbling to and fro of the polar axis over a short period of years upwards to a century or more, following a catastrophe. When later the Great Pyramid of Ghiza was built (ca. 4500 B.P .) , the regular movements of the stars on the celestial plane were known but not necessarily the 26,000 year precession of the equinoxes. Saturn, as god of the North, had been dethroned. The earliest navigation might follow coastal lines, and then the newly ...

... to 10,000 BC, from which he infers that there was a previously unknown civilization and even a connection with Mars. Not surprisingly, his theories are ridiculed by orthodox Egyptologists. However he persuaded geologist Robert Schoch to look at the Sphinx and its surroundings and Schoch was forced to the conclusion that the Sphinx is indeed older than the pyramids, or at least the 4th Dynasty tombs associated with them. The pyramids themselves were protected by dressed limestone and also subjected to atmospheric erosion and so cannot be directly compared with the Sphinx, which was unprotected but buried under sand for much of its later life. The 4th dynasty tombs were similarly buried and, though carved from the ...
... of Upper Hemisphere. PARADISE IN HINDU THOUGHT. 153 Leaving the higher basin of the mountain in which its waters have at first collected the source, Ganga travels seven times round the Meru in descending from the abode of the seven Rishis of the Great Bear, to empty itself afterward into four lakes placed on four summits adjacent to this vast pyramid, and serving as buttresses on its four sides. . . . Fed by the waters of the celestial Ganga the four lakes in their turn feed four terrestrial rivers which flow out through the mouths of four symbolical animals. These four great rivers water as many distinct regions, . . . and discharge themselves into four opposite seas, ...

... . It was written in demotic script and later in Greek characters, except for a few residual demotic signs. It must have been known to the Ptolemies, and may have been related to their own language, whatever Greek dialects were spoken in ancient Macedonia. In any event, the idea that Coptic goes back to the time of the Pyramid Texts is about as cogent as the notion that English is rooted in the language of the Navajo Indians. We transcribe American Indian symbols and words into letters of our own alphabet; we then ask perfectly willing and educated Indian friends to give us the meanings of these terms, and they try to do so. No doubt something of ...

208. Eclipses in Ancient Times [Journals] [Pensee]
... of tidal friction between the Earth and the Moon. The eclipses being so consistent throughout the millennia, there could have been no other changes in the rotation of the Earth nor in the revolution of the Moon during all this time. It is a formidable argument, if it can stand. But does it not remind one of the "pyramidal inch," the minute measurements by which a British scholar once thought to extract hidden meanings from the Pyramid of Cheops? If the observations of the ancients can be fixed in time to the one-thousandth part of a second, then historical documents of the ancients must have very great observational value. Worlds in Collision is full of historical documents ...
209. Underworld: Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age by Graham Hancock (Book review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... contrary. He is exploring new avenues of investigation into the human past, ahead of archaeologists. They are only beginning to investigate the marine environment, in most instances shipwrecks. The mainstream is not at the same point as Hancock and he can't be shot down in flames. Egyptologists, for example, pounced on Robert Bauval's arguments concerning the Pyramid Age with several books refuting his ideas. In spite of this Hancock continues to resurrect the idea that the ancients knew all about precession of the equinoxes and had advanced astronomical knowledge of the kind known today. There is actually no evidence to suggest the ancients knew anything about precession. That is conjecture, a theory hijacked from Von Dechend ...
