... though the water of the ocean is almost completely free of these elements.2 The red clay is red because it contains ferruginous (iron) compounds. Meteoric iron differs from iron of terrestrial origin in its admixture of nickel, and it is this characteristic that makes it possible to differentiate iron tools of early ages, for instance of the pyramid age in Egypt, and to decide whether iron pieces were smelted from ore or were worked meteorites. "Nickel is a very rare element in most terrestrial rocks and continental sediments, and it is almost absent from the ocean waters. On the other hand, it is one of the main components of meteorites."3 Thus it ...
332. First Dynasty - pre-Flood or post-Flood [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... . I cannot say there are VASTLY fewer Old Kingdom artifacts than Middle Kingdom, though there are fewer. However, they do exist. I think, at this juncture, Ev and Dwardu and Dave could comment further- by virtue of their studies Re: the Polar Configuration- on ancient Egyptian texts from the Old Kingdom, including the Pyramid Texts, and what survived and in what form (on rock walls or on papyrii). We have very little papyrii from any period of Egyptian history because it was so fragile; only the important documents left in tombs or other such structures. But most of the early Egyptian literature sprang from the Middle Kingdom, of which Ipuwer's ...

... divergent forms not to contain a considerable element of historic truth", according to Alan Gardiner.[2 ] But what historical truth is it? Could it be that of "an ancient king upon whose tragic death the entire legend hinged"? But of such a king "not a trace has been found before the time of the Pyramid Texts", and in these texts Osiris is spoken of without end. There he appears as a dead god, or king and judge of the dead. Alternatively "he is presented to us as the vegetation which perishes in the flood-water mysteriously issuing from himself..."[3 ] He is also associated with brilliant light ...
334. The Sphinx. Part 1 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... longest and is the oldest, dating from the Old Kingdom. Like all sphinxes, it has a human face with an animal body; in this respect a sphinx differs from other images of Egyptian deities which have human bodies and animal heads. The face of the Sphinx at Gizeh is that of Pharaoh Chephren, successor to Cheops; Chephren's pyramid, a little smaller than that of Cheops, is nearby. . The animal body is that of a lion or lioness. The pbaraoh was thus represented'as a powerful god. In later times many sphinx images were carved, in sculpture and in relief, but smaller in size down to miniature images on cameos, and the face was ...
335. Evidence For Global Climate Disaster in 3rd Millennium BC [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Jan 98, pp.325-326. Archaeologist Harvey Weiss of Yale University proposed that the Akkadians were not to blame for their fate. Instead, he argued that they were brought low by a wide-ranging, centuries-long drought (Science, 20 August 1993, p. 985) that toppled other civilizations too, including those of early Greece, the pyramid builders in Egypt, and the Indus Valley in Pakistan. But now Weiss's theory, at least as applied to the Akkadians, is getting new support from a completely independent source: an accurately dated, continuous climate record from the Gulf of Oman. At the annual fall meeting last month of the American Geophysical Union here, paleoceanographers Heidi ...

... than Stonehenge. Two Ancient Mysteries The island of Britain lies at the centre of two of the most enduring mysteries of antiquity. At the southern end of England, on Salisbury Plain, stands the greatest pre-Roman monument in all of western Europe, indeed in the whole of Europe outside of Greece. Stonehenge has now become, along with the pyramids of Egypt, one of the photographic icons of our age. Virtually every publication dealing with a whole range of topics - from straightforward ancient history, to mysteries of the past, to the occult in all its forms, to life on other planets - will feature an image of Stonehenge.
