... , that the vast majority of Egyptologists would claim that there is such evidence and that it is supportive of a nice, neat, uniformitarian pattern, with the 365-day calendar in uninterrupted use for at least several millennia. Velikovsky himself pointed out (Worlds in Collision, page 123) that there are references to "five days" in the Pyramid Texts, said to be older than the Old Kingdom. And I have been aware for many years of the reports of epagomenal days found in the testament of Nekonekh (Old Kingdom) and in the contracts of Hepzefi and the inscription of Khnumhotep II (Middle Kingdom). All of this material needs to be carefully and objectively scrutinized ...

... Lawrence Valley to southeastern Missouri. Scotland as a whole, as well as its Loch Ness/Loch Linnhe and Caledonian Canal "split," along with the Hebrides, Orkney, and Shetland Islands, all display this trending. Dames [1967, 1977] illustrates similar trendings in England, at Avebury and Silbury. At Giza, the pyramids (viewed from above) show both northeast-southwest and northwest-southeast directions, designed, perhaps, to depict ante- and post-diluvian pathways. This double direction is also found in Stonehenge, in the lunar alignments for its standstill moonrise and moonsets. It may also have been the model or precursor for our letter "x " [Stephanos, 1975 ...

... , etc. were supposed to mark the "navel ". The navel was connected with the bowels, and the Japanese hara, belly, is used like our word "heart" for centre, but it is also "mind". Various peoples regard the belly as the seat of life and intelligence. To the Egyptians of the Pyramid Age, the "heart" or the "belly" furnished the chief designation's for the inteiligence.18 The "heart and reins" occur frequently in sacred Hebrew literature19 In ancient times the heart, liver, kidneys and bowels were referred to as the seat of life as the heart alone now is. But each of the separate ...

... . But the influence of Amen (or Amon) was not operative during the early period when the spiral first came into fashion. "Amon", was, as Professor Breasted reminds us, an "old obscure local god of Thebes, whose name is not to be found in the great religious documents of the earlier age like the Pyramid Texts". It was not until the Empire Age that he "gained the chief place in the state theology, owing to the supreme position held by the ruling family of his native town in the Empire. "15 Nor did the Theban god become chief deity until after he had be enfused with the sun god Re, as ...

... known as Taheke-roa to the underworld those who sympathize with Rangi the Sky-Parent ascend by means of the gyrating whirlwind to the heavens, and so pass upwards to the uppermost heaven where dwells Io-matua (lo the parent), and are there welcomed by the company of celestial maids, the twelve mareikura.34 Among the pre-Dynastic beliefs enshrined in the Pyramid Texts of Ancient Egypt is one of very special interest and significance: King Unis goes to the sky, King Unis goes to the sky! On the wind! On the wind! The reference is evidently to a whirlwind which draws skyward the loose desert sand, etc.35 The spiral lore of China and Japan is rich and ...

... . The jars may have doubled as containers and burners. Other jars seem to have contained oils. Asia Science Frontiers No. 112, Jul-Aug 97, p. 5, Scientific American July 97, p. 33, Earthwatch Magazine 1997 expedition guide, p. E1, National Geographic Sept 97, p. 33 There are five small pyramids strung out at 100 metre intervals along a ridge on Mount Kasagi in Japan. They are only seven feet high but skilfully crafted of solid granite. Nothing else is known about them. In the Chinese province of Jiangxi a 13th century BC tomb was filled with pottery, bronze vessels, bells and weapons decorated with an iconography never seen ...

... Piggott in his Ancient Europe. Moreover, radiocarbon dating, corrected through dendrochronology, has recently questioned the dogma of the eastern origin of European civilization. Colin Renfrew describes the consequences for traditional chronology: "These changes bring with them a whole series of alarming reversals in chronological relationships. The megalithic tombs of western Europe now become older than the pyramids or the round tombs of Crete, their supposed predecessors. The early metal-using cultures of the Balkans antedate Troy and the early bronze age Aegean, from which they were supposedly derived. And, in Britain, the final structure of Stonehenge, once thought to be the inspiration of Mycenaean architectural expertise, was complete well before the Mycenaean civilization ...

... . Contemporary with the Inca were the Chachapoya, or Cloud People, who farmed on steep terraces in remote and inaccessible mountain areas. Burial tombs were built high up on cliffs, guarded by stone heads and mahogany statues of virile men. Way before the Inca a civilisation flourished in the Moche Valley from 100 to 800 AD. Mud brick pyramids were built along the coast and carvings depict a decapitator god as part man, part spider. Artwork shows that they engaged in orgies of human sacrifice and a man depicted in a frieze wearing a 5-point crown is thought to represent the planet Venus, which will come as no surprise to anyone who has read Velikovsky. The civilisation came ...

... Internal consistency is one of the crucial tests of a theory, and any suggestion that the "age of giants" could refer to a period of unusually large human beings must be subject to the consistency test. It is certainly true that around the world, folk traditions associated various cultural remains with the activity of giants. They marveled at pyramids and towers and broken walls of former peoples. Popular Arabic tradition identifies "giants" as the builders of Middle Eastern megaliths. The Greeks proclaimed that a generation of giants had built the great fortifications at Tiryns and Mycenae. Scattered megaliths across Europe invited the same idea. Throughout Mesoamerica and South America it was claimed that the massive remains ...

... "Giants attacked the very throne of Heaven, Piled Pelion on Ossa, mountain on mountain Up to the very stars. Jove struck them down With thunderbolts, and the bulk of those huge bodies Lay on the earth . . ." (20) And from the New World: "In Mexico, it is told of the great pyramid of Cholula that once upon a time certain giants aspired to build out of clay and bitumen a tower which would reach to heaven, so that they might enjoy from the top of it the spectacle of the rising and setting sun. When, however, they had reared it as high as they could, the inhabitants of heaven, ...
