... Book Review section) by W. H. Stiebing, Jr. An Associate Professor of history at the University of New Orleans, Stiebing critically reviews several popular theories and ideas that have gained wide currency. The popular concepts treated by Stiebing are the universality of the Deluge, Atlantis, cosmic catastrophism, ancient astronauts, the mysteries of the pyramids, and early voyages to the Americas. Our comments on Velikovsky's ancient historical revisions will be augmented by Stiebing's recent Biblical Archaeology Review (Vol. II, 1985, 58ff.) article which considers this matter as well as other "restorations" of ancient history and archaeology. In this pursuit I have had the opportunity to present some ...
272. The Saturn Thesis (Part 2) [Journals] [Aeon]
... think it can be shown that it signified a unique form of the Radiant Venus just prior to the emergence of goddess and hero as separate powers.

It is also identified as a "drop of seed" from Atum, and inseparably tied to the virtually simultaneous births of the goddess Tefnut and the warrior-hero Shu. Now I think we can make sense of these things if we will take the discrete ideas one at a time. AEON: Even so, and before we go ...

Douglas Rockville, MD To the Editor of KRONOS: I am writing in reference to Alban Wall's article, "A Calendric View of Stonehenge", that appeared in KRONOS VIII:2 .

Flavio Barbiero analyses soem interesting mechanical models for calendars and suggests this as an explanation for Central American sun discs'. Charles Raspil's analysis of Chinese planetary observations throws up some anomalies of interest to those who are pursuing evidence of catastrophes between 500AD and 1000AD. Emmett Sweeney supports radical revisions of ancient Middle Eastern history and his latest paper (based on his new book) proposes ...

... not out of line for the era of Joseph.17 Supporting Evidence from the Era of the Oppression The subsequent period under the reigns of Sesostris III and Amenemhet III was characterized by an enormous building program in brick,18 a program so vast as to be possible only with the aid of slave labor. Josephus states that the Israelites built pyramids for the pharaohs.19 Pyramids were obsolete in the time of the XVlllth dynasty but every king of dynasty XII had his pyramid using brick save one.

... than that granted by the traditional view, I think it has to he admitted that von Daniken has the edge! Section 2. Isaiah. The Book of Isaiah has been called upon to support a large number of fringe' hypotheses. Pyramidologists, for example, have hailed Is.19:19 as a clear reference to the Great Pyramid, whereas British Israelites have claimed Is.65:9 as an indication that the Anglo-Saxons are indeed one of the Lost Ten Tribes. UFO Buffs, meanwhile, have seen Is.66:15 as a typical chariot of the gods' reference, whilst Alfred Watkins, in "The Old Straight Track", thought Is. ...

... 11 seems reflected in a document of the later New Kingdom which purports to come from the tomb of Antef (whose name is otherwise read as Inyotef).
