... or even originally from a granite sarcophagus, thus saturating for many generations an undisturbed, entombed mummy, finally discovered by Egyptologists or robbers? In 1999 Jaime Bigu of Ontario and researchers with the Atomic Energy Authority of Egypt (Cairo) looked at seven ancient monuments. Three had potentially hazardous radon concentrations, the highest being in one of the pyramids at Saqqara and also in the Serapeum. Bigu suggested improving ventilation at all three sites to safeguard the health of the guides who might spend many hours each day enclosed with visitors. One can only advise working Egyptologists to wear a face mask for protection during an underground excavation period in their dust-filled environment. Histoplasmosis The wearing of a protective ...
412. Velikovsky's "The Tomb of Ahiram" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... was probably the first pharaoh to be buried in the Valley of the Kings, for whose workmen the village was founded. Deir el-Medineh: view looking north along the main street of the village. In the distance the wall of the Ptolemaic temple Deir el-Medineh: view looking south showing the terraced forecourts of the workmen's tombs and with a reconstructed pyramid visible in the centre of the photograph There is just one thing I would like to observe about that last paper from an Egyptological point of view. I think the first half of it was the continuation of a very bad piece of archaeology in the form of Montet's excavations at Byblos. If you look at the Montet report, there ...
413. The Saturn Thesis: Questions and Answers [Journals] [Aeon]
... characteristics of the first civilizations. But why should we believe that the sky has changed so drastically? The best I can ask for is a willingness to consider an argument. I could show you, for example, that certain celestial images preoccupied ancient man to the point of an obsession. A great cosmic wheel in the sky. The pyramid of the sun. The eye of heaven. Also the ship of heaven, a spiraling serpent, the raging goddess, and four "winds" of the sky. The problem for conventional perspectives is that these images are far, far removed from anything we see in the heavens today. But that is only the beginning of the ...

415. The Method of Science [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . This makes the whole paper quaintly obsolete, a time machine detour to an intellectual world long past. In my view, the argumentation style of the paper shows the classic form of pseudoscience in the following way: facts are selected to fit agendas, rather than conclusions derived to fit facts. Proper science has the metaphorical form of a pyramid in which base facts serve as foundations for further research and deductions placed upon them, relying on them for support. This assembly of interlocked evidence and reasoning leads to higher and higher structures culminating at the apex with the hypothesis, which is supported by the structure. But my experience is that pseudoscientific reasoning mimics this form with a false ...

... views and the many misleading comments about them which are given publicity, while sensible and responsible replies are generally ignored. Eric Crew, Broxbourne [Eric Crew informs us that he sent a similar letter to the SUNDAY TIMES but feels that it is unlikely to be published! - Ed.] Earth-flipping Catastrophe?Dear Sir, In THE GREAT PYRAMID DECODED (Trowbridge & Esher 1977) Peter Lemesurier makes a quite interesting offhand suggestion: - If, then, we accept that the construction of the Great Pyramid (as dated by Cayce) may have been associated with some cataclysmic event, the possibility arises of a direct link between that event and the magnetic reversal referred to. And ...

... its setting. But why should the sun at its setting be regarded as a deity different from the morning sun? The identity of the rising and the setting sun is seen by everyone. The inscriptions do not leave any room for misunderstanding: "Harakhte, he riseth in the west."(11) The texts found in the pyramids say that the luminary "ceased to live in the occident, and shines, a new one, in the orient."(12) After the reversal of direction, whenever it may have occurred, the words "west" and "sunrise" were no longer synonyms, and it was necessary to clarify references by adding: ...
419. Discussion Questions From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... power established in Anatolia? And how? 3) What is the nature of the "Kassite" names, apparently from a language which is not Semitic or "Sumerian?" If the native language of the Kassites was "Sumerian," why did they assume names in a (possibly) Indo-European language? 4) To place the pyramid age late begs the question- when was it? In the iron age? Post-Ramses II? I can't see pyramids being raised under Ramses' immediate successors or Persian domination. They already existed in the time of Herodotus (5th century), who reports that they were built long before Amasis (which is important, if Amasis follows ...

... in 1889, was published in 1898 by F. Ll. Griffith under the title Hieratic Papyri from Kahun and Gurob.( 5) The second find, still unpublished, was made in 1899. In quantity of papyri the second was some seven to eight times larger than the first. Both finds were made in the precincts of the pyramid temple of Sesostris II, who evidently founded the town of Illahun when he built his pyramid. From neither find has there come to light any papyrus dated to a pharaoh earlier than Sesostris III. Besides him there are papyri dated to Amenemhet III and Amenemhet IV (though none to Queen Sobek-nefru, the last of the dynasty), ...
