... known whether the uprights were carved or decorated, although Dr. Wainwright believes that they were. "It is very hard to think of a structure like this with nine concentric circles not being carved in some way," he said. He suspects that the carving might have been like that on contemporary pottery, which carries geometrical patterns and spiral motifs. "The patterns are quite stylised and relate to tribal territories, we believe. It would be very surprising if these motifs were not replicated on the timber uprights." A complete excavation of the site is not planned, as it would be unlikely to provide much more information than the magnetic survey. A small dig may ...

... of Triton, whose arrival on the scene must have resembled that of a bull entering a china shop." It is interesting that Tom Van Flandern's model required a slow flyby. It adds weight to my suggestion that the Polar configuration was transient but lasted for a time measured in decades or more likely, centuries as the Saturnian system lazily spiraled in toward the Sun, encountering first Neptune, then Uranus on its way. I will look at Uranus shortly. Wal Thornhill- [Dave Talbott wrote, concerning the obscuration of the sun:] As a complement to this concept Wal Thornhill has shown how a group of planets moving into a new electrical environment will generate a " ...

... (i .e . Bealtaine - Fire of Beal'), while the Irish word for temple timpeall - is the same as the word for circle. It is a well-recognised fact that the burial-mound, or barrow-grave, was characteristic of the Bronze Age/Iron Age Celts and Germans. The megaliths throughout western Europe are heavily decorated with spiral designs, a motif that would later, in a slightly more developed and sophisticated form, come to be regarded as typically Celtic. In Scandinavia, menhir-style standing-stones occur with great frequency and are virtually identical to those found throughout France - particularly Brittany. Yet the menhirs of Scandinavia are decorated with runic inscriptions and Viking Age artistic motifs. ...

... in Jupiter's atmosphere. There will be no understanding of the sunspot cycle until the true first cause of solar dynamics is recognized. I have theorized that it is caused by the passage of the Sun across giant Birkeland current filaments in the tenuous plasma of interstellar space, flowing along the galactic arm. That such currents exist is shown by the spiral magnetic fields wrapped around our arm of the Milky Way. It explains at once the variability of the cycle and the solar field reversal during each cycle.- PLEASE VISIT THE KRONIA COMMUNICATIONS WEBSITE- http://www.kronia.com/~kronia/ Other suggested Web site URL's for more information about Catastrophics: http:/ ...
335. SERVANT OF THE SUN GOD [Journals] [Aeon]
... . It is the specificity of the polar column and its relationship to other forms of the polar configuration that gives the testing of the thesis a straightforward agenda. Not only the warrior-hero's identity with the column in all of its mythical forms, but the required relationships to central sun, enclosure and crescent, arms of the sun cross, and spiralling cometary curl afford a nearly endless opportunity to apply the theory and to challenge it wherever the predicted relationships are not confirmed. What must be clear to anyone reviewing the complex of warrior-hero themes is the extraordinary preponderance of images suggesting a visible column below the domain of the gods (the ancestral "homeland" of the myths). That ...

... (winged star, soul-bird, bright feathers, feathered headdress, shining bird's tail); cosmic serpent, dragon, or similar monster. The remaining general hieroglyphs for the comet could be counted on the fingers of your second hand! They include: a sword, a bundle of grass or straw (whisk, broom), or a spiraling rope (cord, tie, or knot). At what point, then, does a "coincidence" or seemingly irrational use of language (comet-words or glyphs attached to Venus) become an anomaly worth pursuing? Forrest not only sidesteps the implications of parallel cometary images of Venus in other lands, he ignores the convergence of such ...

... from the beginning (20)." The kind of electric discharge I conceive to be responsible for solar radiation must necessarily be driven by an electric potential in interstellar space- a condition to be expected in a galaxy electrified by the separation of charges on a truly magnificent scale. Just such a situation is postulated by Bruce, who explains the spiral arms of our galaxy as electrical discharges initiated by the breakdown of a radial electric field extending through the entirety of galactic space. And just such a situation could provide the enormously high space potential (negative) that the discharge hypothesis requires. As I see it, then, the sun, already negatively charged to an extremely high electric ...

... concentration like the Snake. Dr Morose also thinks that some of the other theories, though they have shortcomings, do not rule out filaments with kinks. If Dr Benford's theory is right, though, it also predicts that the Snake is slowly expiring. The radio signals that make it show up come from electrons flowing in it as they spiral through the galactic magnetic field. But this uses up energy, so the Snake is slowly glowing itself to death. Perhaps only its eventual disappearance will settle the debate." [* * emphasis added ** ] [Wal Thornhill Comments]: Two items stand out: 1. The filamentary nature of "the snake". ...

... way around the planet Neptune. Its moon Triton, even larger than our own, is on a perilously unstable orbit, bringing it down on the planet. The expected impact has been described by Clube and Napier as follows: Triton, the largest satellite of the solar system, is in a retrograde orbit about Neptune and appears to be spiralling in towards the planet on a timescale of 10-100 million years. Should it reach the surface the angular momentum transferred will be sufficient to reverse the direction of the planet, but not before it has transformed Neptune into an incandescent ball of vapour!

... of the energy required to position Jupiter and Saturn much farther out in our solar system. The redistribution of charge amongst objects in a solar radial field also REQUIRES that their orbits will change. 4 - Charged bodies orbiting eccentrically in a radial electric field around the Sun will dissipate energy through electromagnetic induction heating in such a way as to quickly spiral into a circular orbit. For any object with a high eccentricity, electrical breakdown will occur within its Langmuir sheath and cometary discharge phenomena will be seen, regardless of its size (Venus?). 5 - If gravity is essentially an electrostatic phenomenon, the unusual environment of the Saturnian configuration would be expected to have caused a difference ...
