... day? The inescapable fact is that from at least the Greco-Roman era to Modern times both cycles shared 25,920 divisions. Is this mere coincidence or meaningful evidence? Were the ancient Hebrews aware of the precession? Daniel Trifiletti El Toro, California 1. Livio Catullo Stecchini, "Notes on the Relation of Ancient Measures to the Great Pyramid."

... when the same planetary body may have been responsible for several of them. If only the scholars of mythology can be persuaded to examine Velikovsky's thesis, what riches might emerge! In the meantime the field is yours. WHITE, PETER: The Past is Human Angus & Robertson, 1974 (reprinted 1976). (RML) The Great Pyramid; the statues of Easter Island; the "Nazea Lines"; the building feats of Tiabuanaco; cave drawings in Africa and elsewhere, the Mayan calendar; the Piri Re'is Map: were these puzzling relics created by visitors from other worlds? Dr White is Senior Lecturer in Prehistory at the University of Sydney, and would be the ...
... surface crust of the earth forces some portion to give way and "crumples up" into a hill or mountain, and that fissures, usually accompanying an earthquake, allow that part to "contract" into a mountain. (I . Lewin, Earthquakes, p.27.) How is it then that a volcano is invariably of pyramidal form, a base tapering to a summit? By no possible law of nature could a mountain be thrown up in that form. It would be credible if a great vacuum opened up in the earth where a "weakness" occurred and quantities of rocks and lava were thrown out helter-skelter like a gigantic mine which is exploded. Yet ...
234. The Age of Moses [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... this "astronomically" based Egyptian standard. For an excellent debunking of the astronomical foundation of the conventional chronology, you are referred to the Supplement to Immanuel Velikovsky's Peoples of the Sea. In a previous essay, Joseph and Imhotep, I made a case for equating the biblical Joseph with the legendary Egyptian vizier Imhotep, architect of Pharaoh Djoser's pyramid and brilliant physician. Here we will take up the subject of Moses, the Exodus, and the world situation at the time of the transition between the Early Bronze and Middle Bronze ages. I begin with the premises that the sojourn of Jacob and his family began in Egypt in the mid-twentieth century B.C ., that the ...

236. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... system prior to those described in Worlds in Collision . Section 2 is devoted to ancient astronomy, the major article being Prof. Rose's "Babylonian Observations of Venus", which so clearly demonstrates how a Velikovskian view of the evidence resolves anomalies which have puzzled scholars for decades. Other items of particular interest are Velikovsky's "The Orientation of the Pyramids" and "On Decoding Hawkins' Stonehenge Decoded'". With sections 3, 4 and 5, more technical astronomical aspects make an appearance, ranging from the stability of the solar system and the research on possible orbits by Rose and Ransom to Juergens' pioneering work on electrical forces, "Reconciling Celestial Mechanics and Velikovskian Catastrophism" ...

... Iceman downdate Horizon BBC1 8.3 .1993 Although the copper nature of the axe belonging to the frozen iceman' found recently in an alpine glacier enabled historians to place him in the Neolithic, in agreement with the radiocarbon dates, special flanges in its design point to the copper age, which was a few hundred years later. HISTORY Pyramid building Horizon BBC2 22.2 .93 Mark Lehner joined forces with a stonemason in a project to build a scale model of a pyramid using the methods of mud-brick ramps and levers thought to have been used by the ancient Egyptians. They succeeded but the difficulties make one wonder about the construction of real pyramids 27 times larger. Lehner ...

... signifies Venus? Does this convergence of imagery mean that artistic license prevailed, or does it perhaps commemorate some hitherto unrecognized relationship between Venus and the ancient sun-god? (40) The Sun and Venus in Ancient Egypt That the worship of the sun and various celestial bodies belongs to the oldest Egyptian religion is commonly acknowledged. Countless passages in the Pyramid Texts, for example, allude to the King's identification with the ancient sun-god and his intimate relationship to the morning star. (41) In Egypt the star appears amongst the earliest pictographs, being found already upon predynastic pottery. (42) Although both 8-pointed and 5-pointed stars are attested very early on, the 5-pointed star eventually came ...

... the white man. Or more to the point, before the arrival of the official' recorders of Aztec mythology. Many people seem to think that they did have the chance, and the various theories of contact' involve Vikings, Phoenicians, Egyptians and (inevitably) Atlanteans. It has been argued for example, that the presence of pyramids on both sides of the Atlantic implies Egyptian contact. Likewise, the fact that the symbol of the cross was found to be already worshipped by the Indians when the first Spanish missionaries set foot in America in the 15th & 16th centuries, has been taken to imply some forgotten' earlier contact with Christian travellers. However, as stated ...

... approach, commenting that stratigraphy is not everything', yet he concluded that astronomical evidence was consistent with the Hammurabi-Darius I equation [92]. In Britain, Emmet Sweeney developed his own ideas on the basis of Heinsohn's theories [93] and put some of them together in two short books, The Genesis of Israel and Egypt and The Pyramid Age, published in 1997 and 1999 (fig. 1; fig. 2). Sweeney did not believe that the pyramids of the Old Kingdom in Egypt could have survived intact through Velikovsky's'?Venus' catastrophe of 1450 BC and, indeed, apart from those of the 3rd Dynasty, he thought they must have been constructed ...
