... is a "white dwarf" and although it emits light, is masked by its brighter partner) and that the period of rotation is 50 years. (They also appear to have known that Saturn has rings and that Jupiter has four moons.) This discovery led Temple into a study of the importance of Sirius in ancient myth and religion, particularly in Egypt and Greece, and also of stories which refer to the 50-year cycle (for instance that of the 50-oared Argo , a ship). He establishes a route by which the Sirius-lore could have reached Mali by the migration of the tribe of the Garamantes from Greece via Libya. And he picks up from Stecchini and ...

... to take place in the future, were really past events impressing themselves in all their awful reality on psychically receptive minds. C. Marystone, whose address is: Box 41112, Minillas Station, Santurce, Puerto Rico 00940, replied to our letter mentioning that there were still a number of copies of the book available to those studying ancient religious catastrophism and Velikovsky's ideas and that anyone wishing to have one would be welcome to write for a free copy. It is stressed that the work is partly an interpretation of Velikovsky's theories from the supernaturalist viewpoint, i.e . one which believes in a personal God and the ensuing possibility of prophecies and miracles and C. Marystone acknowledges ...

... "he is sometimes represented with four heads ( Janus quadrifrons ), because he presided over the four seasons" - so maybe the seasons were still felt to be in need of attentive handling? For myself, however, I would not clutch at this straw. (M . L. OWEN ) Scarborough Sir, Prehistoric art and early religious belief As an art-historian and anthropologist by training, I should like to rescue the Altamira bison, staunch creature though he is, from the weight of interpretation resting on his shoulders as a result of Mike Rowland's contribution (Newsletter, 2, p.7 ).

Anyway, I have recently been reading Sandman, which is a comic series written by Neil Gaimon. In his tales, he appropriates deities from the Greeks ...

A Book by Ev Cochrane Earthlings have long been fascinated by the planet Mars. Well before modern science fiction speculated about advanced civilizations upon Mars and the dire threat of invasion by little green men, the red planet was regarded as a malevolent agent of war, pestilence, and apocalyptic disaster. In an attempt to appease the capricious planet-god, various ancient cultures offered it human sacrifices. What is there about ...

... offended at this but I prefer to remain amused. I do not remember stating anywhere in my letter that I believed or disbelieved Velikovsky, or, for that matter, Enever. It is a curious phenomenon that, even among modern scientists who are supposedly trained to be objective, there is a great tendency to treat theories as of almost religious significance, and to commit a great act of faith either for or against, and Velikovsky's theories seem particularly prone to this lack of objectivity. I try to keep my scientific training in objectivity exercised, and my letter was merely pointing out that, as Gribbin himself admits in his diatribe, the Velikovsky theory did precede Enever's. I ...
