... keep them on the right path, like a shepherd with his crook. The basket used in Dionysiac processions is a kalathos. The root lath in Greek means escaping notice'. Is Ka' hidden in the basket? There are some possibilities in Latin. Cacumen means a mountain peak point, or extremity. Pliny uses it of a pyramid, cacumen pyramidis, 36:16. Etruscan katec, head, may be ka+ tego, cover. Livy, I:34, uses culmen of a man's head, on which an eagle deposits his hat. Cacus, a son of Vulcan and a contemporary of Evander, was a giant of great strength, living in ...

... an expert witness in the courts and has written a book and an article (JOURNAL OF GEOLOGICAL EDUCATION 31:2 , March 1983, pp.124-33) attacking Barnes's work. In IMPACT no.122 Barnes makes his brief reply to Dalrymple: we recommend that readers read this in conjunction with the Dalrymple article and decide for themselves. Pyramid Theories source: INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE 16.9 .83, 1.12.83 In September, Dr J. Davidovits proposed his novel theory of how the pyramids of Giza were built: the stones were poured rather like concrete! This is his conclusion based upon chemical tests, X-ray analysis and the finding of a two and ...
213. Firmament & Chaos by John Ackerman (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... changed from 360 to 365 25 days (p . 176), tidal waves swept around the globe, the Mediterranean and Red Seas were drained and north India was inundated to a depth of 5000m and then when it departed, 14 or 15 years later, the process was reversed. The problem is that whilst the Rig Vedas, the Pyramid Texts and Ackerman's other mythical sources undoubtedly contain many strange passages which seem to allude to odd cosmic goings-on involving various gods, they are generally rather obscure and hard to interpret. Ackerman simply asserts most of the details of his scenario, with little attempt at presenting detailed evidence or critical analysis to show why his particular interpretation is correct and ...
214. Ancient History Revisions: the Last 25 years - a Perspective [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to the attention of the outside world was Herodotus (c . 450BC). He reported a brief chronological outline of events under certain kings, which was told to him by the Egyptian priests. Much of this has been verified by subsequent archaeological investigations. His history is partly discredited, however, since within it he implies that the great pyramids of Giza, built by pharaohs of Manetho's Dynasty IV, were actually built after the Middle Kingdom (MK) pharaohs of Dynasty XII. A great compilation of ancient Jewish history was brought to Egypt under the first Ptolemies and translated into Greek as the Septuagint in the early 3rd century. This early version of the Old Testament (OT ...
215. Velikovsky and the Problem of Planetary Identification [Journals] [Aeon]
... .C .E .) to the effect that Osiris is Venus, that Set is Mercury, that Hathor is the Moon, and that Horus is either Jupiter, Saturn, or Mars. (10) Certainly it would be difficult to construct a convincing theory of planetary history out of this mess. The earliest Egyptian writings, the Pyramid Texts and Coffin Texts, although explicitly celestial in nature, are equally equivocable. References to the "sun" and the "morning star" abound, but in those pre-astronomical times what assurance do we have that such terms described the same celestial bodies as at present? The Egyptologists, of course, would reply that we have all ...

... the original amount paid, or deduct that amount from their 1981/82 subscriptions. We trust that this arrangement will be acceptable. ANCIENT HISTORY STUDY GROUP There was a meeting of the Ancient History Study group on January 18th at Mrs Morgan's residence in Dulwich. John Knightsbridge entertained all present by an interesting account of his recent visit to the pyramids. This sparked off a lively discussion on ancient Egyptian history in general and the pyramids in particular, bearing in mind Velikovsky's chronological reconstruction and catastrophic cosmology. In addition, as is usual at these meetings if there is time, members also discussed the latest news or snippets of information on the "catastrophism front". The meeting of ...
217. A Maya Record of Two Thousand Years? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... and so applies to the Western Hemisphere. The question is, was it world wide? All sorts of evidence indicate that global things were happening at this time: the fragmentation of the proto comet Encke (Whipple), magnetic discontinuity (Smith), climatic deterioration (Lamb), ice core anomaly (Hammer), building of the pyramids (Hawkes), two calendars beginning with catastrophe- Indian (Parker) and Maya (Thompson), and the start of the Kish dynasty (Mellart). The geophysical evidence pointing to -1561 is sensational, and generally self-consistent. Daley (1926, 177) and Kuenen (1950,538) arrive at this approximate date for ...

... to the Nile, depending on how you interpret "river of Egypt)." I am preparing an answer to Rose (whose title, by the way, is a bit deceptive since Rose- though opposing Heinsohn's lower dating of the Neo Assyrians- advocates lowering Egypt's Dynasty XII (Middle Kingdom) to the -4th century! and the pyramids to the -8th century) so I won't say more at this point except to note that if the Bible story about David and Solomon is based on genuine events then somewhere within that sizeable realm we should find evidence of them. Ev wrote: It is Rose's contention that the chronologies of Heinsohn, Illig, and Peiser are impossible to ...

... and creation. It provides a convincing argument against Neo-Darwinism without surrendering to fundamentalist creationism. The Celts – Origins, Myths, Inventions – by John Collis. Tempus. £17.99. A controversial, revisionist account of the Celts which challenges many long-standing assump-tions. Did they come from the west and not the east? Voyages of the Pyramid Builders - by Robert Schoch with Robert Aquinas McNally. Penguin Putnam/Tarcher. US$24.95. Schoch pursues his earlier claims that geological evidence shows the Sphinx was carved millennia earlier than its accepted date of 2500 BC. Schoch suggests that the world-wide distribution of pyramids indicates an initial source, which he identifies as Sundaland, ...
