342. Merlin and the Round Temple [Journals] [SIS Review]
... than Stonehenge. Two Ancient Mysteries The island of Britain lies at the centre of two of the most enduring mysteries of antiquity. At the southern end of England, on Salisbury Plain, stands the greatest pre-Roman monument in all of western Europe, indeed in the whole of Europe outside of Greece. Stonehenge has now become, along with the pyramids of Egypt, one of the photographic icons of our age. Virtually every publication dealing with a whole range of topics - from straightforward ancient history, to mysteries of the past, to the occult in all its forms, to life on other planets - will feature an image of Stonehenge. Yet in contrast to that other wonder of ...
343. Kronos by Robert de Telder (Reviewed) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Ethiopian 25th Dynasty. Essentially, therefore, this is a combination or synthesis of Velikovsky, Herodotus and the Bible, all of which are treated, more or less, as revealed truth'. In this way the author makes the Amarna Age (late 18th Dynasty), which Velikovsky placed in the 9th century, contemporary with the Pyramid Age, which Herodotus placed immediately before the Ethiopian Shabaka (late 8th century). The Amarna Age pharaohs are therefore identified with the pyramid-building 4th Dynasty. Thus Akhenaten = Cheops; Smenkhkare = Chephren; Tutankhamun = Mycerinus; Ay = Anysis. In support of such controversial identifications the author points to the fact that Cheops, like Akhenaten ...
344. Solving the Exodus Mystery by Ted T. Stewart [Journals] [SIS Review]
... At Beni-Hassan there are tomb paintings showing the governor Khnumhotep storing grain. The same tomb complex has the famous painting of the Canaanite in a many-coloured coat entering Egypt and a cartouche of Sesostris. Sesostris constructed the Bahr Yusef canal, linking the Nile to Lake Moeris and Meri's records of Sesostris' orders to construct the canal, and also a pyramid tomb (for Amenemhet?), were translated by Breasted. 1657-1650 Years of famine. 1649 Khnumhotep, governor, dies. Mentuhotep appointed Vizier. Ameni, the son of Khnumhotep, records that he distributed food in a famine while his father was alive. By selling grain in exchange for property and land Sesostris became very wealthy. ...

... men several years to clear the sand from its base and revealed a six-tiered obelisk against its chest (now missing),... Each time the base was cleared, windstorms filled it in again with sand, indicating that when the Sphinx was originally built the Sahara was almost certainly not a desert."35 One of the great pyramids on the Giza Plateau still retains its facing stones at the summit, but these do not show water damage from rainfall which suggests that it was built long after the Sphinx and after the climate changed. Furthermore, none of the many ancient monuments and temples in Egypt exhibit this form of rain damage, which further suggests that in Egyptian ...

... the catastrophe in two parts: one 3500 years ago and the other 2600 years ago, which makes the final displacement of the Ice Age masses well within documented historic times, whereas the legendary and geological evidence places the termination 6000 - 8000 years ago. 2. "A catastrophe of the scale envisaged would have destroyed such edifices as the pyramids, Stonehenge and other structures already in existence at this time." 3. The main objection is that the catastrophe was caused by a comet and Velikovsky is criticised for crediting comets with more dangerous properties than they actually possess. Mooney states in evidence that "the molecules of the gases and the micrometeorites are so widely dispersed in the ...
347. Chapter XXX: The Temple-stars [Books]
... in the preceding table. For the vernal equinox, so far, I have found no temples besides those directed due E. in which the rising of the Pleiades may have been watched. It is more than probable that the worship of the sacred bull by the Memphitic inhabitants of Egypt may have been connected with this constellation. Certainly in pyramid times Neith and Serk-t were both worshipped, and the goddesses under whose protection the Canopic vases were supposed to be- Isis, Nephthys, Neith, and Serk-t- may have symbolised the two solstices and the two equinoxes. We may next consider the complete series of N.E . temples represented at Heliopolis, Denderah and Thebes. ...
348. The Pentagram of Venus [Journals] [Horus]
... . This series is known as the Fibonacci series. Leonardo Fibonacci learned of it during his travels in Egypt, and introduced it to Europe. It was known and used in Old Kingdom times, as indicated by the frequent use of 0 in the proportions and measurements of Egyptian architecture, such as the Temple of Luxor, and the Great Pyramid of Cheops. The above series is of interest here, since during the eight years required for five synodic revolutions, Venus makes thirteen revolutions around the Sun-and the numbers 5, 8, and 13 are successive terms in the series. The Venus/Earth orbital ratio of 13/8 = 1.625, which is fairly close ...
349. Darkness Over Sinai (Where was Moses when the light went out?) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... sequence of discovery and observation that took place among the peoples of the middle East on this subject. Obviously relatively stable countries, such as Egypt, had a distinct advantage over weaker states, whose cities were often conquered in warfare and their temples and observatories torn down. In Egypt many useful alignments were included in the design of temples and pyramids, such as cardinal points, the solstices, and equinoxes. The ability to refer back to this kind of permanent record was not possible for nomads unless they had a fixed annual pattern of grazing such as exists in Iran, where summer pastures are in the Zagros Mountains and winter is passed on the plains giving the official keepers of ...
350. Prelunar Culture (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... , which according to Solon and Plato were practised in Atlantis, it is widely recognized nowadays that there is a definite `Atlantean' culture complex. On both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, in Europe, in Africa, and in the Americas, are found evidences of culture connections which range from related forms of building (for instance, pyramids) to identical practices (for instance, mummification), as well as similarities of language and symbols. These many striking and related culture evidences, which are found more concentrated at certain places, have led or, rather, misled certain Atlantologists to assert that Atlantis was not lost in space, but only in time, and that ...
