... From: Horus Vol. 2 No. 1 (Winter 1986) Home | Issue Contents On Number As Artifact (Part 1: Introduction)Fred Fisher Music was still a science when a medieval monk drew this diagram of the relationship between the seven Liberal Arts. Musica is at lower right "Culture," an archaeologist once observed, "is highly perishable and therefore cannot be excavated. "( 1 ) This is not an attitude most today would find encouraging, especially perhaps those who consider themselves students of man's cultural evolution. If culture is what makes us human, then (according to this view) archaeology is not going to be able, in the final ...
352. Let There Be Darkness: An Archetypal Analysis of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich [Journals] [Aeon]
... Eminence". (90) Returning to Hitler, a further note of interest has to do with the fact that he was given the number 7 as a board member when he joined the German Workers' Party in September 1919. (91) "An occultic legend has arisen from the fact that Hitler noted his membership card was number seven, a sacred or lucky number in many of the world's cultures. In fact, his membership number was 555; the party membership list began at 501. The number seven refers to his membership on the party's executive committee. "Coincidentally, under the Hebrew system of numerology Hitler is linked to the number seven through his name: ...
353. Legends and Scripture [Books] [de Grazia books]
... true and severe narrations, whence mythos, fable, was defined as vera narratio (a true account)..But because they were originally for the most part gross, they gradually lost their original meanings, were then altered, subsequently became improbable, after that obscure, then scandalous, and finally incredible. . . These are the seven sources of the difficulties of the fables..." One of many debts that we owe to Plato is his respect for myth and legend. He, too, fulminated at those who dismissed or, worse, corrupted history by their misuse of legends. In my skeptically minded exploration of the story of the destruction of Atlantis, ...
354. Collapsing Tests of Time [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , have dated the present ocean basins at nowhere more than 200 million years, incomparably younger than by former calculations [8 ]. The sediments were found to be astonishingly meager. Yet, contrary even to this new dating, the ocean sediments could be provided readily from catastrophic sources in a thousand years after the basins formed, as Chapter Seven will show. Furthermore, the ocean bottom, which is under enormous pressure, contains only unconsolidated sediments, a sign of newness [9 ]. And if the oceans had once been land and the land ocean, then certainly great rock formations should line the bottoms. In addition, at the rate at which uranium is now flowing ...
355. Velikovsky's Martian Catastrophes [Journals] [Aeon]
... of Mars as it repeatedly brushed past the Earth in its close encounters during the 8th and 7th centuries B.C . (84) In a recent paper, Charles Ginenthal mentioned "Mars and its Maruts'"- but only once, en passant- as an accepted postulate without qualifying the term. (85) As I indicated seven years ago, however, the flight of the Maruts cannot be dated to the 8th and 7th centuries B.C . since the seven-fold phenomenon of which the Maruts consisted can be better interpreted as the concentric rings that once surrounded the primeval Saturnian orb. (86) Needless to say, no one is bound to accept my interpretation ...
356. The Calendar of Coligny [Journals] [Horus]
... but at regular and specific points throughout the entire span of the calendar. The designers of the calendar were able to attain such accurate Sun-Moon correlations by use of the following devices: Assigning values to each month on an alternate 29, 30-day basis, Equos and Cutios being calculated exceptions. Giving Equos the variable values as shown. Making the seven 30-day intercalations at 2.5 and 3-year alternating intervals. By these devices they were able to fine-tune the scheme of the calendar to the chronometric realities of the celestial mechanics behind it. Two important results were achieved: Close approximation of the average length of their calendar month as calculated to the actual length of the lunar month as observed ...

... bark painting by Binyinuway from Dipirringurr) Morning Star From an Australian Aboriginal bark painting Compare with schematic view of Saturnian configuration on opposite page Note also the additional object in the middle of the central column precisely where theory would place the planet Mars in its sliding up and down the axis mundi. Schematic outline of the Saturnian configuration showing the resultant seven rings-in-crescent. (Illustration by David N. Talbott) Among modern Aboriginal paintings there are quite a few which depict the Morning Star, of which I present but two while taking this opportunity to thank Allan Beggs who first brought them to my attention. The first comes from a bark painting by Binyinuway from Dipirringurr and depicts what, at ...

... contributions from them." (81) This is a very damning assessment. In the face of Bauer's testament, what are we to make of Asimov's version of the Affair? We know that many of the sources detailing the repugnant events in the first phase of The Affair, as I listed them a page or two ago, plus seven or eight subsequent issues of Pensée, were available to Asimov in 1974 had he wanted to consult them, for this is a major part of the material Bauer himself used, yet there is not a single scintilla of evidence of them in Asimov's article. In my opinion, therefore, only two possibilities arise: if Asimov did not ...

... pharaohs, the level of the Nile had been far higher. Later, however, the great African lakes began to dry up and consequently the level of the Nile diminished too, after those pharaohs. The capital was then moved from Thebes to the Delta. Thus, in the time of Hatshepsut the Nile level would have been six to seven meters higher than at the beginning of our century. Today's level does not really count, because of terrible recent droughts in Africa. Herzog tells us that the Nile cataracts are not waterfalls, as I thought. They are rapids many kilometers in length. With a water level several meters higher, these rapids would have been far easier ...
... , Teutonic Mythology (1907), p. 320.] The Latin text (Rydberg, p. 422) uses the classical familiar name of Euripus. The Euripus, which has already come up in the Phaedo, was really a channel between Euboea and the mainland, in which the conflict of tides reverses the current as much as seven times a day, with ensuing dangerous eddies-actually a case of standing waves rather than a true whirl [n5 We meet the name again at a rather unexpected place, in the Roman circus or hippodrome, as we know from J. Laurentius Lydus (De Mensibus 1.12.), who states that the center of the circus ...
