... do is back-calculate the orbits of the planets and confirm these with ancient observations." Well, firstly, strange as it may seem, every ancient civilisation kept a year of 360 days down to around 750 BCE when they all got it into their heads, independently, to change it, and modifications continued everywhere till after 700 BCE. Stonehenge was repeatedly wrecked and rearranged. And, strangely, ancient star and planet observations DO NOT CORRESPOND to back-calculated positions. In China, Babylon, and elsewhere the very movements that were recorded of the planets were erratic. We have no eye-witness confirmations of any eclipse before 687 BCE. Many of the ancient philosophers, most notably Plato, ...
152. The McMaster University Symposium - June 1974 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and stars on uniformitarian assumptions (retrojecting mathematically the modern celestial order into the past) it is clear that the megaliths pose a problem for the concept of a catastrophic cosmology. The whole phenomenon of the standing stone observatories - their apparent relatively sudden appearance in large numbers in the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze periods at about the same time that Stonehenge was converted to a stone temple and the great Wiltshire ceremonial centres like Durrington Walls were built - has never been satisfactorily explained. A disturbance in the celestial order late in the 3rd millennium BC would certainly provide a plausible motive - that of understanding the new order - for this immense investment of manpower and intellectual skill. The stones themselves ...

154. The History of Britain Revealed by M. J. Harper (Book review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... tackles this propen-sity for a people to manufacture their own creation myths with particular reference to the British and the history of the English language. His style is humorously acerbic with a no-holds-barred attitude towards bastions of academic orthodoxy whom he regards as brainwashed almost from their cradles. The author sets out the accepted version of the history of Britain (unknown Stonehenge people followed by Celtic speakers, then conquering Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Normans); and then asks us to consider the anomalies involved if just one, the Anglo-Saxons, had left their langu-age as universal and supreme. No other European country had its language changed by one of its invading groups. Only when invaders basically replace the ...

... to be found among the ranks of alleged heretics and cultists. In addition, FRED JUENEMAN's continuing efforts deserve mention. In 1978 he devoted nine of his "Innovative Notebook" columns in Industrial Research/Development to Velikovskian subjects. His January-June and August-October musings cover a wide range of subjects, discussing magnetism thrice, radiohalos, radioactive dating, Stonehenge, celestial dynamics, the Hymn to Aton and the temperature of Venus. The December issue has a letter from an astronomer at the University of Delaware protesting the celestial dynamics column in June together with Jueneman's undaunted reply [l0]. That column collected the evidence from celestial dynamics supporting Worlds in Collision which CARL SAGAN had entirely "overlooked ...

... sea-level rises, with drowned forests, whereas in S. America and China, the land appeared to rise. The geology of Britain indicated that before this, there was a land bridge between Ireland and Scotland – could this have been the source of the Atlantis legend and the megalithic peoples who were spread around the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts? Stonehenge and other monuments appeared to have different stages of construction, with changed alignments. After the initial catastrophe and the realisation that a 7 year changing rhythm of sunrise positions indicated when to expect climate change, monuments were built in order to predict events, but after the Earth's wobble' died down, this was no longer necessary and building ...
