... struck the earth, one probably collapsing on the lands of Scandinavia, the other on those of Northern Britain. The residue of the latter, its very core, fell in the Hebridean Sea and part survives as Giant's Causeway, also where is now Staffa and the Garvelloch Isles consisting of these same columnar columns drilled by magnetic currents. The Romans had a legend about an island where Saturn had been hurled, which seems to have been Staffa, and is alluded to by Plutarch. Certainly the British Isles were looked upon by the classic nations as extraordinarily holy, inexplicably full of magic, and the centre of the Underworld faith. Mr. A. W. Whatmore, an ...
302. Cosmic Winter [Articles]
... a period of a couple of centuries and we were now in a sky of foreboding. Then passed another 2,500 years with Zeus in decline and Kronos already barely visible, while the latter's orbit precessed until we come to the next intersection with the Earth's orbit around 500 A.D . when mayhem again ensured. This time the Roman civilization collapsed and the dark age was in place. And it was Plato and the Christians, of course, with their knowledge acquired from the Magi who had predicted this "end of the world." In the medieval society which then emerged, it was natural that they should first invoke the world of demons and foreboding. But ...
... because there are certainly strong reasons for the suggestion that the Drift Age was the Flood Age, the event in question took place in Scandinavia and the British Isles. The subsequent "discovery" of a region in the was a fiction carefully prepared and promulgated at a far recent date when the pagan origins of faith were highly convenient to the Roman Emperors who suppressed the Jews and expelled them from Jerusalem, whose very site was forgotten for they massacred the Druids, and deliberately set to work to destroy all monuments, manuscripts, works of every historian wrote on such subjects, burnt thousands of priceless works, merely vague names, and in a most thorough Roman manner appear to have ...
304. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... peat bog in Switzerland and further details have been obtained from Greenland ice cores. A rise in concentration about 5,000 years ago is put down to the first farmers ploughing and kicking up a dust veil. 3,000 years ago the Phoenicians started trading lead mined in Spain and levels continued to increase during the period of Greek and Roman metallurgical industry. Lead isotope ratios show this came from the Rio Tinto mines of Spain. A decline in the Middle Ages was followed by another rise heralding the Industrial revolution.

305. Did the Sumerians and the Akkadians Ever Exist? [Journals] [Aeon]
... (Guti) played a decisive role in the end of the last Akkadian king Shar-kali-Sharri (dated to ca. 2193 BCE); they then disappear from history, until they are found 1500 later as the very lively adversaries of the Assyrians right up to the time of the Seleucids and they settle in the areas which according to Greek and Roman sources are inhabited by the Scythians. The so-called "Akkadian" iron dagger with a golden handle from Alaca. Hüyük- dated to approximately 2300 BCE- appears 1100 years too early even in the conventional chronology for the Iron Age. For the "Akkadian" kings the umbrella becomes one of the royal insignia; it only reappears 1500 ...
306. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... these people Frissones', i.e . Frisians. It is well known that Frisian is/was the language most closely related to Old English' (another name for Anglo-Saxon'), which suggests that Procopius preserves an important truth missing from other sources. We should also note that Frisians had already been numbered among the garrison of Roman Britain in the fourth century' (Blair [4 ]) . When the newer mercenaries under Hengist and Horsa rebelled, their settled kinsmen rose with them and there was what we might best call a civil war. Phillip worries unnecessarily about the dramatic effects of numbers of the invaders [which] seem to be so small'. ...
307. Avaris and the Land of Goshen [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... which clearly was set up in the Pi-Soped region that- ". .. The evil-doers and of the Red Country (EDOM?) came upon the road of At Nebes invading Egypt at the fall of darkness. Now these evil-doers came from the Eastern Hills (upon) all the roads of At Nebes..." 5 The Romans, military strategists as they were, usually sited their forts at strategic points. Is it then surprising that overlying the ruins of the old city of PiSoped, we can still easily discern a large well planned Roman fortress, and settlement. There is one thing for sure, Sile, though it acted as a border stronghold at the ...
308. Introduction - Ages in Chaos? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... by very few others. There was certainly no dispute between professional archaeologists and historians about the overall picture. Correlations between different sites must, to a certain extent, be subjective and it would be unrealistic to expect the same site to be occupied by every successive occupier of the region. Wroxeter, for example, was a major city in Roman Britain but its remains now lie in a rural area. Even so, stratigraphic evidence had been found which seemed incompatible with some of Heinsohn's conclusions, such as his belief that the Old Babylonians of Hammurabi were the Persians of Darius I. For example, in C&CW in 1988, Lester Mitcham pointed out that excavation reports from ...
309. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... New Scientist 3.9 .94, p. 7, 8.10.94, p. 57, 29.10.94, p. 71 The ancient site of Masada is today completely arid, yet Josephus in the 1st century AD noted that King Herod reserved the top of the mountain fortress for agriculture. When the Romans overcame the Jewish citadel in AD 73 they built a ramp using wood from local tamarisk trees and recent analysis of carbon and oxygen isotopes in this wood, compared to that of modern trees, confirms that the climate there was much wetter 2,000 years ago. It was noted that Josephus has never ceased to amaze archaeologists with accurate ...
310. The Identification of the Biblical "Queen of Sheba" with Hatshepsut, "Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia" (Part III) [Journals] [Kronos]
... The Egyptologists were not the only ones to remark on this unusual combination of nature. Procopius, who lived in the sixth century A.D ., mentions the date palms growing along the coast of Aila (= Aqaba), the fruit of which obviously justified the fact that the Arab Abu Harb gave them as a present to the Roman Caesar Justinianus. And the well-known Arab writer Al-Mukadassi (10th century) describes the place just as it was shown on the mural of Hatshepsut: "There are many date-trees, and an abundance of fish."92 A detail on the murals which seemed to hinder its identification with an Asiatic country consists of the picture of the " ...
