... engraved carnelian scarab bearing the name User-Maat-Ra, Setep-en-Ra, Ramesses II. This scarab has certainly been subjected to fire, its surface has a greyish patination, and discolouring and fusing is a feature of so many of the decorated sherds in this deposit. It was here also that we collected twenty-five fragments of a small open pottery bowl, inscribed spirally both inside and out." The script was recognized as "Egyptian hieratic of the thirteenth-twelfth centuries." The inscription referred to the year "four," evidently of the pharaoh Ramses II."11 In a layer of pure black ash covering a trench, at the bottom of the foundation, the excavators tried at the end ...
362. Pharaoh Seti the (Great and His Foreign Connections - II [Journals] [Kronos]
... , and the great effort to make them inaccessible, exact, and comprehensive. Even casual observation shows the admixture of human, animal, and celestial elements - a universe which finds its microcosmic compression in human structure. This view is not passed along as a "myth", but as a literal truth. The boundary of the ego spiraled outward to encompass the stars. There is a contrast between Pharaonic Egypt and the Orient, but not in perspective of mechanism. To both, the universe is a mental construction, an emanation of the eye of god as an organ of reproduction. As in Tibetan Yoga, the reproductive energy brought to the head, retention of the ...
... ."], but there is little doubt that it was originally, as Dieterich has claimed [n3 A. Dieterich, Nekyia (1893). p.27.], a stream of fiery light in heaven, as Eridanus was. In any case, the flaming torrent, as the Aeneid calls it, goes down in spirals carefully traced in Dante's topography, until it cascades down with the other rivers to the icy lake of Cocytus, "where there is no more descent," for it is the center, the Tartaros where Lucifer himself is frozen in the ice. (Dante has been respectful of the Christian tradition which makes the universe, so to ...

... be understood, let alone tested. In essence, astronomers have invented a negative form of relativity, energy derived from the vacuum of space to explain a greater expansion rate of the universe that suggests there is a counter force to gravity. But they will also posit cold, dark matter to enhance the gravitational effects seen in the rotations of spiral galaxies to slow the universe's expansion. They are putting both, a heretofore unknown form of energy-zero vacuum energy-and an unknown form of matter-cold, dark matter-into space to speed up expansion and slow down the expansion of the universe. This cannot be good science, good rationality, or any form of insight into the cosmos. This view of ...

... , even the historical reasons why Kepler thought Mars had two satellites, and how his speculations must have been taken up by Swift and Voltaire. Phobos, the inner and larger of the two satellites, orbits its primary faster than Mars rotates, and perilously close to the Roche limit for Mars. Calculations have repeatedly shown that Phobos is gradually spiralling closer to Mars: sooner or later, certainly within the next 100 million years, it will either strike the planet Mars or be disrupted into a ring system. Mariner 9 sent back some excellent high-resolution photographs of the Martian satellites. These showed that Phobos and Deimos I are not even roughly spherical in shape, that they are studded ...

... of its material on the face of Jupiter? Eneke's comet revolves around the sun in the short period of twelve hundred and five days, and, strange to say: "The period of its revolution is constantly diminishing; so that, if this progressive diminution always follows the same rate, the time when the comet, continually describing a spiral, will be plunged into the Sun. The comet of 1874, first seen by Coggia, at Alarscilles, and called by his name, came between the sun, and the earth. It approached within many thousand miles, the earth and the surface of the sun. It travelled through this fierce blaze at the rate of three ...

... 16.6 .83, p. 776, suggest that supernovae occur far more commonly than previously thought), but cosmic dust clouds were accepted. David Raup (University of Chicago) revealed that mathematical studies of the fossil record showed extinction cycles about every 30 Myr, which would relate to the passing of the Solar System through the spiral arms of the Milky Way about every 60 Myr. A hesitation to launch themselves fully into catastrophism was revealed by a suggestion that the dinosaurs were already on the way out by the time of the ET impact; but the summing-up is worth quoting: "Extraterrestrial phenomena are the prime candidates for extensive short-term physical and possible biotic effects. ...

... in G at all in the six years. Triton - A Very Odd Moon source: NEW SCIENTIST 20.10.83, p.177 Triton, the bigger of the two moons of Neptune, is about the size of Earth's moon and circles Neptune in a retrograde orbit. The orbit is calculated to be unstable with Triton slowly spiralling inwards. Recent spectroscopic analyses have shown that this odd moon is even odder - it possesses an atmosphere! In this respect it joins a select band of oddities: Io and Titan. Like Titan, Triton is found to contain nitrogen in its atmosphere. What the scientists are not openly saying, however, is that this oddest of ...
369. The Cosmic Origin of the Swastika [Journals] [Aeon]
... . (54) And with the Ettingshau-sen-Nernst, Peltier, Kerr Electro-optical, Stark-Lunelund, and Tyndall effects, that Jueneman enumerates as having taken place within the whirling confines of the column, (55) might not its ionized gases have also been magnetically "squeezed," thus providing the impetus for the formation of a gigantic fylfot or swastika-like spiral? Had the above really transpired, it would answer the riddle of why the fire drill was associated with the swastika. Needless to say, the swastika in the column would have been entirely separate from the one seen radiating from Venus and/or Saturn in conjunction with the Martian orb. But one thing that we have learned from ...

... a brief enigmatic reference to Velikovsky and Worlds in Collision. The time has to be right for new ideas to be accepted. I am disposed to accept Ziegler's ideas because my computer, powered by electricity, has made it possible. If an electrically charged jet emerges from Jupiter and goes into solar orbit, the cosmic body it forms could spiral in as it discharges, ending in a stable orbit as the planet Venus. On its path near Earth's orbit, first outside then inside, relative to the Sun, it would induce powerful charges on the surface of Earth, periodically rising and falling at inferior conjunctions. These could have been managed by an astute commander, Moses, ...
