... minimum elevation, inferred from considerations to be given in the subsequent pages, is 12,596 feet above sea-level; the average level of the chief ruins is about 20 feet higher; the highest point of the ruin-field, the fortress-hill, is about 50 feet higher still. Strictly speaking, the ruins of Tiahuanaco are only those of great sacred edifices, and perhaps also of notable civic buildings. The remains of the humbler dwellings of the people have not yet been found-nor do they seem to have been seriously searched for so far; very probably they are situated beneath the present village of Tiahuanaco. Any search for further culture remains in the Tiahuanaco region will have to be made ...

... and myth are authentic accounts of history and that science, religion, and myth can be reconciled within the context of the Prophetic Tradition. The Stele of Narum-Sin. Shamash, Saturn atop his thrown mountain, Venus is to the left The Prophetic Tradition is a system of symbolic types used by the prophets for the transmission of gospel truths, sacred history, and priesthood ordinances. This system is based on the historical cosmology of our universe, particularly the Interdiluvian Saturnian Configuration. The events of the Interdiluvian Period, and more especially those events in the heavens, became the model for symbolic language of the prophets and the scriptures. The Prophetic Tradition serves as a unifying force in gospel ...

... and sacrifice unto Yahweh Elohim." (6 ) This request to journey three days' distance into the wilderness in order to pay homage to their tribal god would not, of itself, have been unusual. This form of ritual, known to us today as a pilgrimage, has its roots in deepest antiquity. Such religious expeditions to sacred places were practiced by various ancient races which included not only the Israelites (or Jews) but the Egyptians themselves. (7 ) The Pharaoh of Egypt would have been quite familiar with the rite and would not, under normal circumstances, have seen anything strange in Moses' request. Since the Israelites formed a foreign contingent in Egypt ...

... (Part II, Book 1) the "Bushel" is referred to as "the pearl-adorned turning sphere with its transverse tube of jade,"2 while the Pole star round which the "Bushel" (" Great Bear") revolves is the "Pivot of the sky". This pivot, which is supposed to be of sacred jade, revolves constantly "carrying round with it all the other heavenly bodies".

... square miles in extent, only one language, their own, was spoken. These post-diluvians were apparently already several generations removed- from the ancestral - deluge heroes. Though none of those may have still been alive among them the report of the great cataclysm was very well known to them it was, in fact, the basis of the sacred lore of their tribe. They naturally kept speculating and wondering whether the flood might come again, and how its possible return might be staved off or counteracted. For a considerable period after the end of the great satellitic cataclysm the earth still heaved and trembled as local tensions and stresses in the lithosphere were being evened out in the further ...
207. Conditioning, Coping, and Concepts [Journals] [Kronos]
... witness is also a perfectly legitimate deductive term. The ancient witness used by Dr. Velikovsky, although methodologically as legitimate as the mathematical witness, brings forth passionate and uncritical rejection. Why? The role of myth in our acculturation experience has a lot to do with this reaction. The ancient witness has, by tradition, been bound into sacred books. Men, operating as scientists, have also been operating as men committed to this tradition. According to these scientists, the ancient witness cannot be deduced from the empirical data of human experience. If this was to be done, then the ancient witness would be torn out of his sacred place. Sacred events would become mundane ...
208. The Sign and the Seal by Graham Hancock [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Covenant from the Temple and they made their way back to Ethiopia where the Ark is still kept. In 1983 Hancock visited Axum, where no foreigner had been allowed since 1974. Here he met the guardian of the Ark, who confirmed the story related above. The guardian was the only person alive permitted access to the Ark and his sacred duty was to devote his life to its protection. However, the first chapter of the book ends with disillusionment as, after discussion with some historians and other enquiry, the author concludes that the story is a compilation of myth and tradition and not reliable history. Six years later, when on holiday in France, his latent interest ...

... world. In his " Atlantis " Plato tells how Poseidon the earthquake or meteor god, associated with the sea, created Atlantis and gave it to Atlas, and this Mount Atlas, a volcano, was the father of the race of Atlanteans from whom, amongst others, the Greeks were descended. There was Mt. Prometheus, so sacred to the former race of men, also a volcano (94, 95), and hardened lumps of clay, preserved in an Arcadian temple, were shown to Pausanias, the historian, as remnants employed by " Father Prometheus " in moulding man. We find Hesiod describing the five creations of man, the fifth being the Iron ...
