... of the sighting possibilities we have discussed were functional. Moreover, our search for significant astronomical events to match the alignments has included only those which seem of obvious importance to us: solar, lunar and planetary extremes and the setting positions of the brightest stars which announce, through their heliacal rising and setting, important dates in the civil, religious or agricultural calendar. ''(5 ) Perhaps Aveni should have pondered the implications of his own statement. Does he not find it surprising that, given this plethora of azimuthal directions, he was unable to correlate all of his alignments? Proponents of archaeoastronomy have offered such a vast number of astronomical events purportedly utilised by the ancients ...
922. Pillars of the Past by Charles Ginenthal (Book Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... historical data about a period. To put it plainly, if Ginenthal's assertions about dating are true, science must now come first in historical analysis and the work of historians must come second, for only after science has established what and when technologically and chronologically can the historians step in to try to explain who and why socially, economically, religiously, militarily or politically. This could become the new hierarchy and division of labour in our attempt to reconstruct and understand the past. The book is not without its faults, for the style can sometimes be ponderous, a bit awkward and repetitive, the presentation is overlong and there may be an inconsistent shifting in Ginenthal's attitude to carbon ...

924. In the Beginning -- A Review [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... in that order, or are more appropriately "planet ages." He discussed these ages in Worlds in Collision as "The World Ages" and "The Sun Ages." Hence, his view is that each of the seven planets affected the Earth at some time in the remote past. As a support for this view beyond legendary religious and astrological texts, Velikovsky points to the days of the week. They are well known to represent the seven planets of ancient time- for example,the Moon represents Monday; Mars in French is Mardi, in Spanish, Martes; Jupiter (Jovis) in Spanish is represented by Jueves. But, more importantly, Velikovsky discusses the ...
925. Horizons [Journals] [SIS Review]
... essentially a response to Dr Hewsen's paper in Kronos I.3 . The overall presentation of this piece will not gain it great credence with Anatolian specialists: Luckerman offers some interesting and in part quite acceptable proposals, but is unable to provide satisfactory supporting evidence, and the article is especially marred by solecisms in the fields of linguistics, comparative religion and nomenclature, as well as by an over-reliance on Hewsen's Kronos paper and a limited bibliography which shows little acquaintance with specialist journals or standard works. - Egyptologists, too, will be justifiably dismayed at the appearance in Courville's paper of such personages as "Hrior", "Namareth", "Harmhab" and "Pani". ...
926. Geology and God [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... au/rn/science/ockham/stories/s63018.htm [From Ockham's Radio with Robyn Williams on 24/10/99 on Radio National, Australian Broadcasting Corporation]. In this talk the authors proposes that the concept of a god arose out of witnessing major catastrophes, and tries to explain the growth and character of some religions. Peter James: In a previous talk on this program, I spoke on the subject of mass extinctions in the geological record. [. .. ] Firstly, we need to establish a basis for cataclysms, and I would approach this from the flanks, starting with the various folk tales about what might be termed instability in ...

928. Early History of the Israelite People: Biblical Fundamentalism in History (II) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , falling as they do outside a fixed dynastic structure, have a weak claim to historicity." (4 ) Because the biblical David was never mentioned outside the Bible, Thompson considered him a character of fiction. What will Thompson do now? Of course, he may consider joining the choir that Jack M. Sasson, professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is part of. The burden of that choir's song goes: "The reference to the House of David did not necessarily prove the man existed." (5 ) The House of David with no David-play gives penny-gaff a bad name. I can only hope that Thompson will ...
929. In Memoriam: Dr Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . But he did not. He glided off to sea. I reflected foolishly that I could not be faulted for not maintaining a hot line. I was even justified - more foolish thought - in being undiscoverable, for in the labyrinthine Princeton libraries, who could find me, and it was Velikovsky's fault; I might be in the religious section, or in archaeology or the astronomy collection, or the art library, or in geology; I might be anywhere in the acres of buildings and shelves, thanks to Velikovsky. Survivor's guilt, compounding the loss and mourning, so tattooed are we by the ancient great losses - Noah naked drunk on the first post-diluvial vintage, ...
930. Editor's Page [Journals] [Aeon]
... Issue Contents Editor's Page This issue marks the sixth year of publication of AEON. Truly it can be saic that the future seems brighter than ever as we look forward to many exciting developments in the next few months. I can hardly count the number of recent books which point to the various celestial bodies as the source of ancient myth and religion. A case in point is Maya Cosmos, which maintains that the key to ancient mythology was a configuration located at the polar heavens! Where have you heard that idea before? This growing trend in scholarly circles would appear to offer vindication of the ideas of Velikovsky, Talbott, de Santillana and von Dechend, Cardona, and myself ...
