... travel very far?). Imagine: a 1,000-km-long "ice rink" as smooth and unbroken as the Cafe de Paris dance floor, over which skate huge rocks (on their way to becoming erratic boulders) pushed along by an unceasing wind (of presumably great velocity). (Note: if the wind failed for just ... being fixed to fourth-century events, hampers the transference of the "Peoples of the Sea" to the Martian epochal interface. While we talked, Catherine de Grazia, an art historian and my daughter, was glancing at the work and commented, looking at the figures in the murals about Ramesses III, that she had never seen Greek warriors ...

... reign of Saul; cf. Judges 6:2 for the time of Gideon): "the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits."

One difficulty here is the possibility of a too decidedly Egyptian influence now. In particular, what may be questionable is the Egyptian administration of ...

... of ammonia and water-ice clouds. Below is a seething "surface" of liquid hydrogen, then hydrogen compressed into metallic hydrogen, and centrally there may exist a core of rock or iron.[14] Jupiter emits continuously streams of charged particles that penetrate deeply into space. Radio emissions of trapped charged particles of the magnetic field of Jupiter ... well-known in the earliest times. THE LIGHTNING GOD The mythical aegis of Zeus, which was occasionally lent to Pallas Athene (planet Venus), and which is depicted in art and sung of in poetry, was known to be the clouds of Zeus from which lightning came [11].

... "angels": "The angel Michael laid hold upon the hand of Lot, and his wife and daughters, while with his little finger the angel Gabriel touched the rock whereon the sinful cities were built, and overturned them. At the same time the rain that was streaming down upon the two cities was changed into brimstone" [ ... . Yet another Venus symbolism here, too, [in] "mounting the back of Leo". This idea evidently appealed to the collective unconscious for in the so-called art of many Near Eastern lands we find the Venus deity (as a female human form) standing on top of a lion: thus Hathor on top of a lion ...
478. An Empirical Approach to Collective AmnesiaA [Journals] [Kronos]
... variously erased by trauma-induced storage failure. [* What must have been a common source of collective memory "loss" was the characteristic behavior of hiding in caves, under rock overhangs, or other protected areas- the celestial events simply were not directly witnessed- but here we are concerned with memory loss for observed events.] The emergence ... of earth-sky parallelism, the whole culture reflected the observable physical order. Marshack has already demonstrated that a quantitative analysis of the presumed exclusively symbolic and decorative aspects of prehistoric visual arts is justified, revealing strong evidence for prehistoric astronomy and calendrics (see KRONOS II:4 , pp. 37-42).

In Egypt, there existed the problem that ...

There are communities and networks of haute couture, work, skills, fraternity, "rock and roll," sexual practices, diet, outer space communications, sports, and many other special areas that go far beyond occasional meetings and informational exchanges into the ... secular institutions, the trademarks of modern corporations, and the escutcheons of government agencies. Such modern references are very weak, it is said; this is true, and art designers and public relations experts will invent trademarks and other symbols for a price, using scientific techniques for determining how readily the public will recognize and accept the symbol. ...
