... though the water of the ocean is almost completely free of these elements.2 The red clay is red because it contains ferruginous (iron) compounds. Meteoric iron differs from iron of terrestrial origin in its admixture of nickel, and it is this characteristic that makes it possible to differentiate iron tools of early ages, for instance of the pyramid age in Egypt, and to decide whether iron pieces were smelted from ore or were worked meteorites. "Nickel is a very rare element in most terrestrial rocks and continental sediments, and it is almost absent from the ocean waters. On the other hand, it is one of the main components of meteorites."3 Thus it ...

333. The Feast Of Light. Ch.3 In Fear And Trembling (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... divergent forms not to contain a considerable element of historic truth", according to Alan Gardiner.[2 ] But what historical truth is it? Could it be that of "an ancient king upon whose tragic death the entire legend hinged"? But of such a king "not a trace has been found before the time of the Pyramid Texts", and in these texts Osiris is spoken of without end. There he appears as a dead god, or king and judge of the dead. Alternatively "he is presented to us as the vegetation which perishes in the flood-water mysteriously issuing from himself..."[3 ] He is also associated with brilliant light ...
334. The Sphinx. Part 1 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... longest and is the oldest, dating from the Old Kingdom. Like all sphinxes, it has a human face with an animal body; in this respect a sphinx differs from other images of Egyptian deities which have human bodies and animal heads. The face of the Sphinx at Gizeh is that of Pharaoh Chephren, successor to Cheops; Chephren's pyramid, a little smaller than that of Cheops, is nearby. . The animal body is that of a lion or lioness. The pbaraoh was thus represented'as a powerful god. In later times many sphinx images were carved, in sculpture and in relief, but smaller in size down to miniature images on cameos, and the face was ...
335. Astronomy and Chronology: An Assessment [Journals] [Kronos]
... ancient Egypt as it is presently understood and accepted. Astronomical retrocalculation - allied to an erroneous astronomical premise - stellar confusion, ambiguous and fragmented source material, conflicting data, a priori assumptions, and highly conjectural interpretations are shown to be the sum and substance of what constitutes the foundational criteria for reconstructing ancient Egypt's historical past; it is a pyramid built on quicksand. The major thrust of "Astronomy and Chronology" is directed at the astronomical underpinning of Egyptian chronology - the so-called Sothic period. Velikovsky explicitly demonstrates the unreliability and incertitude of Sothic reckoning (Peoples of the Sea, pp. 215-233), which is based upon supposed heliacal risings of the star, Sirius, and ...
336. First Dynasty - pre-Flood or post-Flood [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... . I cannot say there are VASTLY fewer Old Kingdom artifacts than Middle Kingdom, though there are fewer. However, they do exist. I think, at this juncture, Ev and Dwardu and Dave could comment further- by virtue of their studies Re: the Polar Configuration- on ancient Egyptian texts from the Old Kingdom, including the Pyramid Texts, and what survived and in what form (on rock walls or on papyrii). We have very little papyrii from any period of Egyptian history because it was so fragile; only the important documents left in tombs or other such structures. But most of the early Egyptian literature sprang from the Middle Kingdom, of which Ipuwer's ...
337. Evidence For Global Climate Disaster in 3rd Millennium BC [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Jan 98, pp.325-326. Archaeologist Harvey Weiss of Yale University proposed that the Akkadians were not to blame for their fate. Instead, he argued that they were brought low by a wide-ranging, centuries-long drought (Science, 20 August 1993, p. 985) that toppled other civilizations too, including those of early Greece, the pyramid builders in Egypt, and the Indus Valley in Pakistan. But now Weiss's theory, at least as applied to the Akkadians, is getting new support from a completely independent source: an accurately dated, continuous climate record from the Gulf of Oman. At the annual fall meeting last month of the American Geophysical Union here, paleoceanographers Heidi ...

Graham Hancock: Fingerprints of the Gods - do ancient relicts point to an advanced civilisation 15,000 years ago? 49 Are the Sphinx, the Pyramids, artefacts in America, old maps and Plato's Atlantis all evidence of a great civilisation long ago, based in Antarctica? The SIS Conference at Braziers College, Ipsden, Oxfordshire, was planned as a tribute to Immanuel Velikovsky on the 100th anniversary of his birth. Benny Peiser had invited speakers on ancient history, ancient monuments and the ...
