... superposed squares at the base of the drawing, show that the pillars are octagonal (which Mr. Colquhoun took for mere corner-bevelling) giving us the Chinese (and Egyptian) sacred number of the KWANN YU Eight half-cardinal points. "A small cap is usually fixed on the top," and about mid-height the pillar transfixes the inverted truncated pyramid shown. Mr. Colquhoun considers them " symbols of Nature worship," but does not define the meaning he here gives the word Nature. There are also timber wei-kan. Some 5 days later, near Mau-kai, " the number of pai-fang, wei-kan, and temples was remarkable." Several primitive types of wei-kan were seen. ...

... or evidence which points to a different conclusion from the one they reach. In doing so, he makes a persuasive case that flawed responses were given to those, including geologists Robert Schoch and Colin Reader, who had argued that erosion evidence demonstrates that the Sphinx at Giza could not have been constructed at the same time as the 4th Dynasty pyramids around 2500 BC, as generally supposed. Instead, it must have come from an earlier period, when conditions were much wetter. [3 ] However, after more than forty pages of finely-detailed argument, confronting those who challenged the contention of Schoch and Reader that the Sphinx had been built before 2500 BC, Ginenthal suddenly changes tack ...

... of the University of Lethbridge. Truly yours, Immanuel Velikovsky A SECOND NASA LECTURE. Velikovsky has accepted an invitation to lecture at the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, on December 10, 1973. Engagements at neighboring institutions may also be arranged immediately to follow or precede the Langley lecture. THE (DIS)ORIENTATION OF THE PYRAMIDS. In 1940 the archaeologist Flinders Petrie, having surveyed the pyramids of Giza, found that their general alignment is four minutes west of north. Now his observations have caught the attention of the physicists. G. S. Pawley (Edinburgh University) and N. Abrahamsen (Aarhus University) have analyzed this shift in light of its ...

... American group. A rethink is now necessary after the excavation of royal tombs at Sipan. The advanced state of their architecture, pottery, weaving and metallurgy show that they were one of the most advanced cultures in the region 1400 years before the Inca empire appeared in the 15th century. The Moche had widespread trade. They erected many flat-topped pyramids, including the 50 metre high Pyramid of the Sun' which is one of the largest structures in South America, and engineered complex irrigation systems. Yet the civilization disappeared. It is suggested that drought followed by flood may have been responsible. In common with other American civilizations the Moche took prisoners for human sacrifice and ceremonial drinking of ...

... present one will continue the search in Sumerian and Mesoamerican sources . MESOAMERICAN ASTRONOMY Sprawling across the modern boundaries of Mexico, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador, the great civilizations of Central America reached heights unparalleled in the rest of the New World. Like their Egyptian counterparts, the Mesoamericans were renowned for their great stone pyramids and religious monuments. Amidst the hieroglyphs and iconography associated with these structures are religious traditions which would appear to be of extreme antiquity. That many of these religious traditions were astronomically oriented seems to be the consensus among scholars. David Kelley, for example, has observed: "It has been clear to all serious students of Mesoamerican culture ...
138. The Mesoamerican Record [Journals] [Pensee]
... , but because, during the flowering of the Metropolitan Zone in Olmec II, it is by far the largest of the centers and thus likeliest to give clues to both the intentions and the misfortunes of its builders. Here are to be found the major Olmec expression of the two features which will continue to distinguish the Mesoamerican ceremonial center: pyramids serving as platforms for temples, and subsidiary courts and mounds all strictly aligned according to a north-south axis. The existence of a ceremonial center at La Venta during Olmec I is far from established; it has only been inferred from the presence of three stratigraphic levels under a layer of sand (Drucker, Heizer, and Squier, 1959 ...
... both Einstein and Runcorn that agrees with Velikovsky's thesis? Fred Warshofsky in Doomsday The Science of Catastrophe, (NY 1977), pp. 164-165 gives proof that in historical times the axis of the Earth did change. He states: "In 1883 a British archeologist named W.M . Flinders Petrie published the first detailed survey of the pyramids of Giza. He found that the Great Pyramid of Cheops and the smaller one of Chephren that flanks it were aligned to within four minutes (of arc) west of true north. Moreover Petrie was able to prove that when they were originally built the Great pyramids were virtually bang on an alignment with true north. "What shifted ...
... Chapter XXXVII The Egyptian and Babylonian Ecliptic Constellations I HAVE already in Chapter 32 pointed out that at Anna we seemed limited to Set as a stellar divinity; so soon as pyramid times are reached, however, this was changed, and we found the list of the gods increased, and the worship of the sun and of stars in the constellations of the Bull and Scorpion went on, if it was not begun, in Egypt, in pyramid tunes. These constellations were connected with the equinoxes; and associated with the introduction of these new worships in pyramid times was the worship of the bull Apis. The first question which now arises is. When were any ecliptic constellations ...
