... , to be intelligible, had to be written within the chronology established in the new Cambridge Ancient History. Within this framework, as John Bimson notes, the anachronisms in glazing development (and also in metal technology in general) immediately stood out. The book was finally written in 1976 (and published in 1978), and in the seven years since then the writer has drastically reduced his chronology as set out in Chapters 25 and 26, and his new chronology is in draft form and almost ready for publication. This very low chronology, has been strengthened by recent developments in carbon-14 dating which seriously discredit the value of this archaeological tool. The writer's doubts began with the ...
592. On the Disproportion between Geological Time and Historical Time. Part Two - of Earth, Fire and Water [Journals] [SIS Review]
... CARBONIFEROUS CARBONIFEROUS 360 DEVONIAN DEVONIAN 408 SILURIAN 438 ORDOVICIAN ORDOVICIAN 505 CAMBRIAN TERTIARY 570 PRECAMBRIAN Figure 3. The geological column in theory, compared with an actual section representing the Heart Mountain Thrust at Wyoming. The presence of Tertiary rock below Ordovician rock is due to overthrusting, a not uncommon phenomenon. Even in the Grand Canyon, no fewer than seven of the twelve major systems are absent, including the consecutive Silurian, Ordovician and, in most places, Devonian systems. Carboniferous Redwall' limestone rests on Cambrian Muav' limestone, said to have been laid down 200 million years earlier. It follows that at the contact-line there ought to be unmistakable evidence of erosion. Figure 4. ...
593. The Genesis of Israel and Egypt [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to the Scriptures, the Israelites moved into Egypt after one of them, the seer Joseph, became vizier to the pharaoh. Joseph, we are told, solved the crisis of a seven-year famine by interpreting the king's dream. Similarly, Egyptian history tells us how just a few generations after Menes Egypt was struck by a great famine lasting seven years. The crisis was resolved when the seer Imhotep correctly interpreted pharaoh Djoser's dream. Incredibly, we find that Joseph of the long-sleeved coat was one and the same as Imhotep, the god-like genius who designed the first pyramid at Saqqara and was worshipped as a god by later generations. Once again, scholars had long been aware of ...
594. Comalcalco: A Case for Early Pre-Columbian Contact and Influence? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... stepped pyramidal substructure and rear room of a temple. Both are noted by Andrews himself as being non-conformist and atypical of Maya architecture. Other unusual features are the small window-like openings in the Palace east wall. Although window-like openings are very rare in Maya architecture, they are not unknown - the most notable example being on the Temple of the Seven Dolls at Dzibilchaltun. However at Dzibilchaltun the windows, together with a tall, narrow doorway, form the eyes and nose of a Mask of the Sun for the equinox sunrise, whereas the function of the windows at Comalcalco appears to have been to allow air and daylight into a dark, poorly ventilated room. This is extremely rare ...
... , and in passing through it cuts the snow into innumerable six-sided columns. Lyell mentions that the icebergs of Spitzbergen were full of rents, extending perpendicularly downwards and divided into innumerable columns. Snow itself passed through by this magnetism is cut into six-sided flakes. Bearing on this phenomenon we have the remarkable columnar formation in five, six, or seven faces of the rocks of Giant's Causeway and the island of Staffa, rocks of basaltic origin and clearly thrown down at some past and geologically recent epoch. It may be that these rocks lay along the axis of some former planet, and were therefore cut by the electric current into the mysterious perpendicular columns in which we find them. ...

... the next issue of C&CR. Daniel Kline (1917-2000) I was first introduced to Daniel Kline through his book Thomas Young Forgotten Genius (Vidan Press, Cincinnati, 1993, reviewed in C&CW 1993:2 pp. 31-32). Like his hero, Dan was a man of many parts. He was one of seven children from a poor family in Philadelphia but by hard work made his way to university and then to Yale. There he taught for 19 years and received worldwide recognition in 1954 for his discovery of the process for purifying the blood thinner, plasminogen. In 1966 he was appointed Professor of Physiology at the University of Cincinnati, where he ...

598. A Testing Time [Journals] [SIS Review]
... table). The three columns show the early Ammizaduga date for the Venus Solution which is accepted by most conventional historians (1702) and a new one in 1419 BC found by Mitchell. The grey boxes are the misses' where the month lengths should be 30 days but which do not correspond. There are five mismatches in 1702, seven in 1582, but in the 1419 solution there are only two. (For technical reasons it can be argued that it is actually only one real miss'.) If Ammizaduga's Year 1 is taken as 1419BC, the Babylonian King Lists can be used to date Hammurabi to 1565 in the New Chronology. If Hammurabi of Babylon reigned ...
599. Avebury: The Biography of a Landscape, by Joshua Pollard and Andrew Reynolds (Book review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... again, they appear to be associated with boundaries – between families and farms and between large parcels of the landscape. It is also a fact that long barrows were very often located at places of earlier human activity, very often of a ritual nature, but difficult to define. For example, the Horslip barrow superseded a linear arrangement of seven large pits up to 5 metres across and backfilled with chalk, dark loam, worked flint, antler and charcoal, etc. The axis of the barrow followed the line of the pits, but buried in the lower soil of the barrow were numerous pieces of pig and cattle skulls. Looking at the Avebury landscape as a whole, ...
600. Health Hazards to Egyptologists: Radon Gas [Journals] [SIS Review]
... However, could it have been the radon gas seeping out of tomb walls and floors for years or even originally from a granite sarcophagus, thus saturating for many generations an undisturbed, entombed mummy, finally discovered by Egyptologists or robbers? In 1999 Jaime Bigu of Ontario and researchers with the Atomic Energy Authority of Egypt (Cairo) looked at seven ancient monuments. Three had potentially hazardous radon concentrations, the highest being in one of the pyramids at Saqqara and also in the Serapeum. Bigu suggested improving ventilation at all three sites to safeguard the health of the guides who might spend many hours each day enclosed with visitors. One can only advise working Egyptologists to wear a face mask ...
