412. Applying the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... Not just the fluting was similar. So were the capitals. These "13th-century" ivories "show capitals that vary from the simple prototype of the Doric echinus to the elaborate and sophisticated form of the sixth century Archaic capital from a Treasury at Delphi which indeed is foreshadowed in the Mycenaean ivory models" (63). Since five to seven centuries must separate the ivory models from the 7th-6th century capitals and columns, and during those centuries there is no evidence for monumental architecture or columns or capitals, this "long ancestry" and foreshadowing of simple as well as "elaborate and sophisticated" forms is quite incredible. This will become even more apparent shortly. Leaving behind this ...
413. "Velikovsky's Challenge to Science" [Journals] [Pensee]
... a quarter-century of total ostracism by organized science, had been invited to participate in a symposium on his work at the annual meeting of the prestigious AAAS. "This was the confrontation with conventional science which Velikovsky, the archcatastrophist, had sought since the early 1950's," announced Science magazine. "When it finally came, the encounter lasted seven hours, four on the morning of 25 February and three more in the evening. At the end, each sphere- Velikovsky, and the panel of scientists who volunteered to debate him- declared itself the winner. . ." Science News proclaimed, "It was time for a scientific day of atonement": ". . . partly ...

... wilderness? Was it the bull (calf) of Aaron or the brazen serpent of Moses? "And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole."(40) Of this serpent it is said that it was made with the purpose of providing a cure for those bitten by snakes.(41) Seven and a half centuries later this brazen serpent of Moses was broken by King Hezekiah, guided in his monotheistic zeal by the prophet Isaiah, "for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it."(42) The brazen serpent was most probably the image of the pillar of cloud and fire which appeared as ...

416. Lunar Rocks and Velikovsky's Claims [Journals] [Pensee]
... , therefore provides us with a natural clock. All rocks contain at least traces of uranium and can therefore be dated using the uranium clock. Suppose we had a piece of terrestrial rock whose age we wished to calculate. We would firstly measure the number of uranium and lead atoms it now contains. Imagine that we found in this rock seven million atoms of uranium and three million atoms of lead. Then we would argue that all these three million lead atoms were originally uranium atoms and that when this rock originally solidified (say from molten lava) it contained ten million uranium atoms and no lead. By the time we reach the present, three million (that is 30 ...
417. A Glance at Compartive Mythology by Isaac Vail [Books]
... . In Greek mythology there is the story of Hercules, too familiar to bear repetition; but the Persian counterpart of this hero must not be overlooked, for he is the mighty Rustem, figuring as the chief character in the great Persian epic, the immortal Shah Nameh. The labors of Hercules are twelve, while those of Rustem are seven, the last and crowning act being the slaughter of the White Demon of Mazinderan, a monster seeming to correspond most nearly to the Lernean Hydra of the Herculean story. After performing this exploit, Rustem releases his king, whom the demon held prisoner, and restores him to his throne. He himself continues to accomplish miraculous feats in ...
418. Chapter XXV: the Vague and the Sirian Years [Books]
... Sirius at the solstice took place on July 20 (Julian), in the year 3285 B.C .; and according to Oppolzer it took place on July 18 (Julian), in the year 3000 B.C . But this is too general a statement, and it must be modified here. There was a difference of seven days in the date of the heliacal rising, according to the latitude, from southern Elephantine and Philae; where the heliacal rising at the solstice was noted first, to northern Bubastis. There was a difference of four days between Memphis and Thebes, so that the connection between the heliacal rising and the solstice depended simply upon the latitude ...
419. 1421: The Year China Discovered America (Book Review) [Journals] [Aeon]
... Venetian trader Niccolò da Conti, who arrived in 1420 at Calicut, a major trading port on the Malabar coast of India, just prior to the launching of the four square-masted "treasure" armadas of exploration and commerce by Zhu Di. Da Conti undoubtedly was also able to secure a berth on one of the junks then currently plying the Seven Seas as well as access to navigation charts used by these intrepid traders in the Orient. One is led to think that Venetians had a special place in oriental esteem since the excursions of Marco Polo in the late 13th Century. For, at the time of Zhu Di, the Chinese already had at least eight centuries of seafaring experience ...

... taken to be the remnant binary partner [1 ]. This => quantavolutionary [2 ] conception of a rapidly developed solar binary system is consonant with observations of nearby star systems. To seventeen light-years, or about one hundred million times the Earth-Sun distance of 150 => gigameters, there are forty-five star systems consisting of sixty stars and seven dark => unseen bodies. Among these are many => physical binary systems. Sixty-one percent of the sixty nearest stars are components of a double or triple star system. Inasmuch as we cannot judge the organization of distant star systems, this statistic may or may not characterize the starry Universe. Even within our sample of sixty nearby ...
