... 1998:2 (Dec 1998) Home | Issue Contents The Mapmakers from the ice age http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/jlacroix1/geoAN.html A geodesic net of planetary size has been settled during the 10th millenary before Christ. Its structure has been revealed by the special repartition of a certain number of sacred sites. For a long time, I have been puzzled by the very ancient and accurate maps studied by Charles H. Hapgood in Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, proofs of the existence of a advanced civilization in the ice age. One of those maps includes practically the whole earth: it's a map that belonged in the XVIth ...
112. Shoshenq I and the Traditions of New Kingdom Kingship in Egypt [Journals] [SIS Review]
... completely transformed the existing façade of the temple. At the end of the New Kingdom the approach to the Great Temple of Amun-Ra, Lord of the Thrones of the Two Lands, King of the Gods, led from the east bank of the river Nile by way of a canal, to a stone quayside and jetty, from which the sacred barques of the Theban deities were launched during the Festival of Opet every year. From the quayside an avenue of ram-headed sphinxes, which were originally dedicated by Ramesses II, lined a ceremonial roadway to the doors of the huge pylon at the entrance of the great Hypostyle Hall constructed during the reigns of Horemheb, Seti I and Ramesses II ...
113. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Six [Books]
... "Changes in the Times and the Seasons", V writes: The breath of heaven is out of harmony .. .. . The four seasons do not observe their proper times', we read in The Texts of Taoism'." V here refers to "The Texts of Taoism", translated by James Legge (" Sacred Books of the East", vol.39, Oxford 1891). However, the text in question, which comes from the writings of Kwang Tze, is not a description of a planetary catastrophe in which the seasons were disrupted. Rather it is part of an imaginary conversation between two characters, Yun Kiang and Hung Hung, ...
114. Carl Sagan Exposed [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... mankind and its perceptual frailties. Sagan apparently wishes to accomplish what Peter Berger calls `objectivication, ' the attribution of objective reality to a humanly produced concept . . . with [the theory] no longer regarded as a mere human construct, but now a natural order of the cosmos, . . . [the theory] becomes a sacred archetype against which human actions can be weighed . . . . [It] is a sacred object or process in that it becomes endowed with mysterious and awesome power."2 Thus, what Sagan claims is Science (capital S) has the clothing of a religious creed. It places a sacred, majestic, established theory of ...
115. Suns and Planets in Neolithic Rock Art [Journals] [Aeon]
... need we invoke subjective factors to explain the "solar" petroglyphs? There is a very simple answer to this question: It is simply unthinkable to consider the logical alternative- that the petroglyphs faithfully depict the ancient "sun", albeit one radically different in appearance from the current solar orb. This is not to deny the possibility that sacred images become more abstract through time. Certainly representations of the ancient sun-god became more anthropomorphic as civilization progressed. (17) But the question before us is not whether religious images are subject to evolution and transmutation; rather, why prehistoric images of the sun do not conform with its current appearance? If one is willing to entertain the ...
... in the young and vigorous minds of coming generations. To the end of carrying toward completion the work begun by our father, our lives will be devoted, and as the demand arises we hope to give to the public further evidence in support of annular evolution. We undertake this work not only with the feeling that we are fulfilling a sacred trust, but with a love of the work for itself, and with a profound conviction of its importance to the progress of science. While we may be able from time to time to present to the world even vast accumulations of evidence gleaned from the fields of geology and especially mythology, we can do but little more than suggest ...
117. When the Gods Came Down [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Earth? Why did our ancestors believe that mankind had been created in the image of these Gods? In this book, Alan Alford explains why religion as we know it is a "dumbed down" form of a much older religious truth, which has been carefully hidden from the eyes of the masses. Beginning with 4,500 year-old sacred texts, Alford reveals that God was originally conceived as a celestial body, which exploded and seeded the Earth with its meteorites. And this discovery leads him to unravel the secret meaning of the Flood and the creation of man. By comparing these pagan legends to their later biblical counterparts, Alford demonstrates how the theology of the Old Testament ...
118. The Creation of Woman [Books]
... of the nature of a report-for reports underlie ultimately also the J' material then a very, interesting picture of the world immediately after the great cataclysm is presented to us in this myth. Theologically regarded, the existence of this myth is most awkward, and it is probably to be regretted that it has been accorded the rank of official sacred lore. Outside the canon, as, one of the Myths of the Jews', at would be known only to a very small number of people and thus would not by far cause so much trouble. As it is, the peculiar picture it contains of the creation of woman destroys any impression that the passage, Genesis i ...
119. Thundergods and Thunderbolts [Journals] [Aeon]
... an archaic form of thought in which the god and his weapon were not yet distinguished: "The descending Zeus is the Zeus that descends in the rain or lightning...This naïve belief that the god himself came down in the lightning or the meteor is illustrated by the story which Pausanias found in the neighborhood of Gythium about a sacred stone, a lithos argos...There is much to be said for the view that the term means the falling god, ' .. .We are here touching on a stratum of thought infinitely older than the Homeric." [86] It is probable that such traditions have their original point of reference in the spectacular ...
120. The Crescent II [Books]
... the Mesopotamian Surripak is "the city of the Ship," corresponding to Homer's Mycenae, the "ark-city." The Greek cities of Thebes, Argos, and Berytus are connected by Faber with the ancient "ship" names theba, argha, and baris or barit. (60) The Temple-Ship. Just as the Egyptians conveyed the sacred ship around the wall of the city so did they also pull it around the wall of the temple, in imitation of the cosmic ship which coursed daily around the great god's dwelling. Egyptian illustrations depict the shrine as an inseparable part of the boat. And the texts confirm this connection: "The Sektet boat receiveth fair winds, ...
