... riddled with many caves of a great range of size, from small, dry crevices used for shelter by goats to many-chambered caverns with underground streams and stalactites and stalagmites. Some of the larger caves have yielded rich archaeological treasures, and a picture is generally presented of Neolithic man using such places for dwelling, with later civilisations turning them into religious shrines. I would like to challenge the justification for these views as far as one cave at least is concerned-that above the village of Kamares on Mount Ida. Kamares cave was discovered in the 1890s and excavated in 1913. It yielded Neolithic material and a great quantity and variety of Minoan pottery of the Middle Minoan, Protopalatial period, ...
902. Astronomy As Art [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... 1998:2 (Dec 1998) Home | Issue Contents Astronomy As Art By Amy Acheson, Email: thoth@whidbey.com Thoth Vol II, No. 11 June 30, 1998 Ptolemy's mathematical epicycles were an effort to explain the celestial order as he saw it in terms of the "divine perfect circles" of his mythical/religious heritage. Copernicus' new viewpoint was based on the same assumption that there is something sacred about "celestial spheres". He tossed out Ptolemy's math and painted a new picture using a concept he imagined would replace the cumbersome epicycles with perfectly circular orbits. See? If you put the Sun here, at the center, the planets ...

904. Biblical Plagues 'Caused by Volcano' [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2002:2 (Dec 2002) Home | Issue Contents Biblical Plagues Caused by Volcano'CCNet: 12 Nov 2002 From The Daily Telegraph, 11 Nov 2002, by Jonathan Petre, Religion Correspondent. Fresh evidence that the Biblical plagues and the parting of the Red Sea were natural events rather than myths or miracles is to be presented in a new BBC documentary. Moses, which will be broadcast next month, will suggest that much of the Bible story can be explained by a single natural disaster, a huge volcanic eruption on the Greek island of Santorini in the 16th century BC.

905. Editor's Notes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Professorial Lecture In April 1996, Trevor Palmer gave his Professorial Lecture at Nottingham Trent University on The Fall and Rise of Catastrophism'. This outlined the remarkable revival in scientific interest in catastrophism in the last 10-15 years. In 1986 Dawkins described catastrophism as an 18th and 19th century attempt to reconcile some uncomfortable facts of the fossil record with religious belief and in 1987 Stanley described it as an outmoded belief'. Yet today it is accepted that the Earth's surface is scarred by impact and a huge submerged crater in Yucatan is thought to be the site of the impact believed to have hastened the end of the dinosaurs. In an impressive multi-media presentation, Professor Palmer charted this extraordinary ...

... explosive. Some said it was motivated by political issues, by left- or right-wing causes, by militant pacifism, by integration problems, by sex, its license and deviations; others said that it was a manifestation of nihilism, of hippies' distaste for orderliness and regulation, of teenage drinking, mass drug addiction, or of a religious upsurge. What force, then, was really behind the unrest? It was motivated by all of the foregoing, but more than anything else by students' realisation that in a new age of man, as different from the over-stayed Victorian age as that was from the neolithic, they are being instructed by inadequate methods, from antiquated ...
... ,[20] and read in his works a few years later. I found that in some aspects he was the precursor of Freud and Jung as well as of myself, actually solving the problem Freud and Jung left unsolved. Namely, he understood that much of the behavior of the human species, together with all the heritage of religious rites and much of the political structure of his own and other ages, were engendered in cataclysmic experiences of the past, in the Deluge (or deluges, of which there could have been more than one). After Boulanger's premature death, his works were published by Diderot, but his geological observations were not included in the printed ...

... ) "Osorkho Called Herakles," D. B. Redford (JSSEA, IX: 1-2, 33-36). In this short piece Dr. Redford, Professor of Egyptology at the University of Toronto, offers an explanation for the appellation "Heracles" ascribed to Osorkho in Manetho. Briefly, he suggests that under the pressure of Greek-Egyptian religious syncretism a connection with the Egyptian Khonsu was adduced-by the Greeks. (2 ) " Bronze Age Itinerary in Transjordan (Nos. 89-101 of Thutmose III's List of Asiatic Toponyms)," D. B. Redford (JSSEA, March 1982, 55-74). This contribution is based not only on Redford's research but also on a personal ...
910. Freud's Descent Into Hades. Ch.1 Of Racial Memory (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... culled mostly from Frazer's Golden Bough. Freud endeavored to evince from various rites and observances the surviving traces of patricide practices in the cave of prehistoric man: the grown-up sons used to kill their fathers and possess their mothers, a violent act in consummation of the Oedipus complex, the son's sexual attachment to his mother. Freud "felt that religious ceremonials and individual psychological reactions still bear witness to the unconscious persistence of memories of archaic situations, anxieties, feelings of guilt, and various reaction formations which are beyond contemporary experience".[7 ] Freud came to this understanding rather late in his analytical work. For almost a score of years he ascribed the origin of neuroses exclusively ...
