... convulsion is supplied by the following. To the south of Mexico City there is an extensive lava-field, called the Pedregal, which is considered by geologists to have been ejected by volcanoes in the Ajusco Mountains in a short, sharp eruption `between 7,000 and 13,000 years ago. A step-pyramid of four stages, the `Pyramid of Soncuicuilco', was found sticking out of this lava field, and when the volcanic cover was cleared away in its neighbourhood it was found that a hitherto unknown culture was buried underneath it. From the `date' of its extinction this culture (which is not yet much explored) must have been contemporaneous with that of Atlantis ...

... the liquid fire in the central district of our earth," is merely puerile. Even assuming, for argument's sake, that such liquid fire existed, and were expelled to relieve some unexplained pressure, how would it be possible from beneath the earth to arrange a solid plateau of black clay with augite and basalt, six cones, or pyramidal mountains, also one of considerable height, and thousands of hillocks? On the argument of the Interiorists (to give them some name), the earth is contracting and reducing, and here was Jorullo increasing the plain to 550 feet over 4 miles, and building up all these heights in addition. Even if all this materia had ...
594. Ramesses II And Greek Archaic Sculpture [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . 135-138]:'?The inspiration to be more creative and ambitious with [limestone] possibly came from Egypt. The opening of Egypt by King Psamtek I (Psammetichus) (664-610BC) encouraged the first major incursion of Greeks [who] inevitably .. . came into direct contact with its vast array of stone monuments. The pyramids of Giza, for instance, were only 120 kilometres from the Greek trading-post of Naucratis .. . It is interesting that the majority of Greeks who settled Naucratis were Ionians, and a taste for monumental art seems to be found largely in the Ionian cities. The temple of Artemis at Ephesus with it double row of columns may be ...
... god, who appears to possess traits similar to Saturn, and a deity at Palenque, accepting a sacrifice offered him by a high priest, accompanied with descriptive symbols which point to Aidodo. When the Conquistadores first overthrew Mexico they gazed open-mouthed at great cities with streets, canals, ornate temples, courtyards, teocallis towering on artificial heights, pyramids, and sprawling rococo adornments mainly of the crowned serpent intermixed with delicate Celtic designs. They found religious observances, despite the hecatomb of human sacrifices, so akin to Christianity m many ways that the Vatican in its wisdom pronounced them to be the artifices of the Devil. The Aztecs of Mexico preserved memories of mysterious beings who visited them ...
... to the Cassi themselves, whose monarch Cassi-Belaunus or Cassi-Belin was elected to the supreme and royal command of the British states at the time of Caesar's invasion, may we come to a better comprehension of Britain's illustrious history and ancestry so long concealed. I have one passing observation yet to make of the Lion emblem. The builders of the Great Pyramid and others at Gizeh concealed their personalities and names with one exception, the Sphinx, placed as a guardian genius over all. It is the figure of a Lion couchant, but the head is that of a man wearing a wig, a Rama, a Judge, as was customary among the Egyptians. Many have attempted to penetrate ...
597. Megalithic Astronomy and Catastrophism [Journals] [Pensee]
... . A New Interpretation The correction backwards of the five C-14 dates by the tree-ring calibration has two implications for the history of Stonehenge. In the first place it requires that the construction of Stonehenge I took place at about 2800 B.C ., during the early part of the Old Kingdom of Egypt and probably before the great age of pyramid building (the same would be true of the great earthen mound of Silbury Hill). The second implication is that a clear gap of about five centuries has to be inserted between Stonehenge IIIa-the sarsen circle and horseshoe of trilithons- and the final rearrangements of the site described as phases IIIb and IIIc (4 ). The sarsen ...
598. Book Shelf [Journals] [Aeon]
... and the fantasy of space-time has blossomed into a pillar of modern physics- and mass and energy are interchangeable (E =MC2), and reality is incomprehensibly interwoven with virtual reality, where is the boundary between physics and metaphysics? The boundary is blurred; and the blur is caused by theorizing being substituted for observation. Theorizing has produced pyramids of mathematics that mask reality with esotericism. Esotericism is knowledge which is only comprehensible to an initiated few. The Graneaus will have none of this hokum. The authors have worded their work in a masterful way for lay readers, without talking down to the science-illiterate. The clear English is a pleasure to read and, lacking any diversionary ...

... be more unambiguous than was thought. Cultural Events in the 20th century bc We may now consider various sets of C14 dates which bear on the dramatic cultural changes visible over wide areas at this time, the equivalent of which in calendar years might be the 25th century BC. (a ) EGYPT The Old Kingdom (the age of the Pyramids) disappeared into the chaos and anarchy of the First Intermediate Period after the long reign (over 90 years, according to some sources) of Pepi II at the end of the VIth Dynasty. The nearest reliable C14 dates I could find are from two contemporary tombs of the time of Teti, the first pharaoh of the VIth Dynasty ...

... sea blessed with great abundance, destruction by fire caused by stars, and the disappearance of the island beneath the waves. In the 19th century, Ignatius Donnelly tried to show that Atlantis had really existed in the Atlantic Ocean by collating supposed similarities in customs, art and archaeology on both sides of the ocean, such as the occurrence of pyramids and mummification in Egypt and South America, along with similarities in flora and fauna and so on. Later proponents of this theory argued that the Azores, which are volcanic tops of the "Mid-Atlantic Ridge", which runs down the centre of the Atlantic, could have been the remains of a much greater land mass. Unfortunately, ...
