... Cardona and Fredrick Lee. Editorial By Dwardu Cardona Magnetic Models of the Polar Configuration Robert Driscoll presents new magnetic models to account for the Saturnian configuration as it might have appeared in Earth's primeval sky. PAGE 5 Janus: Corrigenda et Addenda Dwardu Cardona offers a correction to one of his previous papers while adding new evidence re his contention that the Roman Janus was simply an earlier version of the Saturnian deity. Page 29 Morning Star: II In this additional paper, Dwardu Cardona picks up from his previous contribution on the subject, continuing to argue in favor of Mars as the original Morning Star of mankind, with new evidence from the Ancient Near East as well as Australia.

382. Book Review [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the Uniformitarian thesis as the accepted orthodoxy of geology - that the forces which shaped the surface of the earth throughout its history are the same which we see at work today. Charles Darwin's grandfather, Erasmus, and Jean Baptiste Lemarck are given their full credit as the intellectual forebears of evolution; but evolutionary theories widely accepted throughout the Hellenic and Roman worlds, and recorded by Diodorus of Sicily in the second-pre-Christian century, are overlooked. In scientific theory, as in the Book of Ecclesiastes, there is nothing new under the sun. Richard Leakey is, of course, the son of Louis and Mary Leakey, famous for their work in Tanganyika's Olduval Gorge, where they discovered Zinjanthropus ...
383. The Antiquity of the Egyptian Decans [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... may not yet be practicable to substitute an alternative explanation which is complete in every respect but some progress towards one can perhaps be made. The principal sources of lists of decans are the coffin lids from Asyut (10th - 12th Dynasties) and the astronomical ceilings (18th - 19th Dynasties, supplemented by later versions, down to and including Roman times; some water clocks and other ancillary objects can also be marked with decans). Excellent summaries of the various decan lists have been assembled by O. Neugebauer and R. A. Parker in their monumental work "Egyptian Astronomical Texts" (Brown University Press, three volumes, published between 1960 and 1969). Partial summaries ...
384. Egyptian Chronology: A Solution to the Hyksos Problem [Journals] [Aeon]
... them also figuring as emperor. Temporarily, one of these kings might have controlled portions of a neighbouring kingdom only to lose it again in some future shift of power. If, however, one were permitted by the relics of such a rule to place all of Prussian history prior to all of Austrian history, the chronology of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation might easily match the one of Ancient Egypt. Thus, the conventional textbook habit of placing Old Kingdom chronologies as a compact block before the Middle Kingdom, which in turn forms a similar block prior to the New Kingdom, is not compatible with archaeological evidence. Particularly where Old Kingdom material is found directly underneath ...
385. Hereditary Monarchy in Assyria and the Assyrian Kinglist [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... but disappeared by this juncture in history, but the principle of hereditary monarchy, from this time and even before it, can still be supported, based on cultural and linguistic continuity. This is generally true throughout Europe, a region that also shares a common culture and essentially cognate tongues. But now we pass through the extensive period of Roman rule, and cross the threshold of the modern age and enter the Hellenistic world. Our journey carries on through Persian, Babylonian, Assyrian, and back to ancient Sumerian times. This last sequence represents an entirely different cultural-linguistic continuum. The slender thread of cultural-linguistic continuity with the west has been entirely severed. Can we now be as ...
386. The 360 Day Year: Science and Humanities [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... C &AH II, Part 1). Some years ago I wrote an article about the 360 day year myself; it appeared in Dutch in the Dutch periodical Bijbel en Wetenschap (No. 15, 1977). An improved version of it is being considered for publication by SIS Review. Working only from ancient texts (Greek and Roman sources on Etruscan mythology) and pictures, I reached the conclusion that the length of the Velikovskian 360 day year was equal to about 9 modern months. In my opinion (not included in my article) the earth did not orbit nearer the sun but moved with greater speed around the sun. Fermor's conclusion in Part 1 of his ...

... some of these publications are below here, together with their price (check on postage). Burning of Troy. A host of essays on quantavolution, scientific idiocies, and numerous penetrations of subjects such as the Paleolithic Caves, the exo-terrestrial destruction of Troy, the sacred Irish origins of O.K ., and the 600-year gap in Roman history. ($ 20.00 book, $9 .00 FD.) Chaos and Creation. First of the Quantavolution series, it is a predecessor of many ideas and reports engendered over the past fifteen years. It is a classic overall account of the prehistoric and historical global natural and human catastrophes that helped create humans in ...
388. When Earth Was Not Yet Created: An Account of Sumerian Cosmogony [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... exists from the beginning") stands for the primordial sun. Likewise viewed, MUM.MU means "One who was born"; he is depicted in the epic as the trusted aide and emissary of apsu- an apt description of Mercury, a small planet rapidly running around his giant master, and in line with the Greek and Roman conception of Mercury as the divine messenger. Some distance away was TI.AMAT- "Maiden of Life," who helped bring forth the other planets, only to he destroyed in a later celestial collision. The "waters" (primordial matter) of Apsu and Tiamat mingled in the space between them, giving rise to additional ...
389. Sun, Moon, and Sothis [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... knowledge.co.uk/sun-moon/Sun, Moon, and Sothis: A Study of Calendars and Calendar Reforms in Ancient Egypt. A book by Lynn E. Rose. The history, of calendars is far from cut-and-dried. Almost every topic that this book addresses has long been the subject of heated controversy. Rose sees Hellenistic and Roman Egypt as of unparalleled importance in the history of calendar development. Even the Julian calendar had its origins in Hellenistic Egypt. Very likely, the Julian calendar itself was Sothic- that is, designed to follow the movements of the star Sothis (Sirius), and not just the annual motion of the Sun. Since the traditional Egyptian ...
390. Jericho [Journals] [Kronos]
... of prophets had its seat there, as we learn from II Kings 2:15. Near Jericho or its mound, Zedekiah, the last king on the throne of David, was seized by the pursuing Chaldeans, in -586. Eight centuries after Hiel, in the last pre-Christian century, Herod the Great built his winter palace and a Roman theater close to the site. It was the Jericho that succumbed in the most dramatic circumstances, its great wall tumbling down, that beckoned archaeologists from the very first. A mound, visible from afar, covered the ancient city and its wall; an Arab village grew up nearby because of the clean springs that stream past the mound ...
