... read, or know of, any relevant new book, please send details (title, author, publisher, cost, and brief summary) to Jill Abery – see Monitor' section for address. Hebridean Mummies On South Uist in the Hebrides, a group of round-houses have been investigated by archaeologists. Justin Pollard (p . 44, Seven Ages of Britain), likens the central hearth to the sun, providing light and warmth .. . '. The houses were also divided into 4 sections. The SE quadrant was used for preparing food and storing cooking utensils, grinding stones, and various bone tools. The SW quadrant was used as a working area and for ...
... the temples had been so oriented as to secure this combination. ' "I have just been looking into the number of possible stars which could have been used, i.e ., within the limits of the greatest distance from the ecliptic that could have been utilised. "The stars which could have been utilised in addition to the seven which serve for nearly thirty temples are ten only, viz: Aldebaran Pollux. b Arietis. b Tauri a and b Capricorni as a group b Librae a Librae a Leonis. g Leonis b Leonis. "If the orientations had. been placed at random, would, not our thirty temples have made many misses in aiming at ...
... a time before the twelfth century. . ." [z ~~ 1:278fl4]. On another point of his system of revised dates, Velikovsky also found justification: [Using] the radiocarbon method of dating . . . Wood from under the foundation of the "Hittite" fortress of' Alisar . turned out to be seven to eight hundred years younger than conventional chronology would allow, thus giving full support to my dating.... The age of pieces of wood from the. . . Old and Middle Kingdoms in Egypt also proved to be in harmony with my reconstruction. However, for the decisive period- that of the New Kingdom- no radiocarbon ...
604. The Scenario of Exodus [Books] [de Grazia books]
... would be impossibly obdurate. Pharaoh Thoum guaranteed on three separate occasions the permit, only to rescind it after the occasion for the permit - a plague had passed. So far as the script reads, there were fourteen encounters between Moses and Pharaoh, plus three unsuccessful attempts by Moses to see him. The initiative was taken by Moses on seven occasions and by Pharaoh on seven. The scenario is plausible; an expert on labor bargaining or diplomacy would readily grant this. Most of the initiatives of Moses occurred in the early part and middle of the series, when Pharaoh was apparently incensed and confused. The calls by Pharaoh came mostly later. And in the last stages both ...
605. Atlantis (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... impossible. Many fearless navigators searched the wastes of the Atlantic for the nameless city in the distant sea, white as the changing walls of faery'. Distant visions lured them farther and farther; in the glory of the sunset, high and distinct, but for ever unattainable, rose the embattled walls of Antilia, the Isle of the Seven Cities; the spicy hills of the Islands of the Blest; Avilion the Fair; Brendan's Isle, the Promised Land of the Saints. How delightful are the maps and charts of the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries! The existence of a large continent beyond the western sea had been proved beyond doubt, but while bounded by ...
606. The AAAS Is Alerted To Act. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... important that it changes many laws," and therefore, "naturally enough, the odds favor the assumption that anyone proposing a revolutionary doctrine is a crank rather than a scientist." By the odds I lost. In order to solve the problem whether Velikovsky's is "a revolutionary theory" or the product of a crank, Lafleur established seven criteria for the diagnosis of a crank. Test 1: "Is the proposer of the hypothesis aware of the theory he proposes to supersede?" Applying this test to me, he found: "In one sense Velikovsky is clearly aware of the laws he proposes to replace, and prepared to quote names, dates, and page ...

... citing from it showed 11 Bimson, James, op.cit., pp. 74-75 Charles Ginenthal, Pillars of the Past 249 that Stiebing's errors only multiplied.12 Those interested in the evidence should obtain this material to understand the jejune poverty of Stiebing's handling of the king list materials. As James states: "In conclusion, the seven mis-statements of fact I picked on still remain seven mis-statements of fact, and your [Stiebing's] answer has only multiplied the number. When you accuse other people [who are revisionists of ancient history] of ignorance' it would behoove you to check your own facts', and at least look at the documents you are citing. ...
608. The Changed Calendar: Evidence for a Neat Year of 365 Days [Journals] [SIS Review]
... after the Babylonian Exile which finished post 500BC. Within the Bible commentaries of this time is the statement that God will cause Israel to forget its feast days. The foregoing limitations are anathema to those religions which adhere to the Saturday Sabbath as their basic article of faith in upholding Mosaic Law. Any calendar law which stipulates a cycle of fifty-one seven day Sabbaths with one extra of a double Sabbath must regulate a Sabbath cycle which rotates day by day each successive year: Saturday for one year, Sunday for the next, then Monday and so on, till ultimately Saturday is the start day again. Therefore by using two related cultures we can demonstrate that post-Exodus Egypt and Israel functioned ...
... exhibited shows upon them, and brought thither musicians of all sorts, and such as made the most delightful music of the greatest variety. He also showed his magnificence upon the theater, in his great number of gladiators; and there it was that he exhibited the several antagonists, in order to please the spectators; no fewer indeed than seven hundred men to fight with seven hundred other men (21) and allotted all the malefactors he had for this exercise, that both the malefactors might receive their punishment, and that this operation of war might be a recreation in peace. And thus were these criminals all destroyed at once. CHAPTER 8. WHAT OTHER ACTS WERE DONE ...

... in Palestine, but, as Velikovsky notes, the idea of a "speedy scribe", or one who could write down words as they were spoken, "is a late development in the art of writing."(3 ) Textbook chronology therefore requires us to believe that the language of Palestine remained completely unchanged for the six or seven hundred years separating the time of Hori from the epoch in which scholars would expect to have found written the advanced Hebrew that he used, i.e . the 8th/7th century BC. It is the equivalent of finding a document from the time of Chaucer written in modern English! Yet such an implausible, not to say ...
