... . 1, The Independent 24.3 .99, The Miami Herald 3.1 .99, New Scientist 20.2 .99, p. 22, National Geographic March 99, p. 25 An Iron Age site at Tara in Ireland has just been discovered to be surrounded by a ditch and embankment that dwarfs that of Stonehenge. It is about 1 km diameter, with a series of pits on either side. At Stonehenge itself, stone circle expert Aubrey Burl has declared that the blue stones were never brought all the way from Wales but the builders simply used glacial erratics found nearby in Wiltshire. In America a circular formation of 24 basins cut in the ...
192. The Past Comes Down [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... drastic telescoping of our current chronology has the effect of making the megalithic and Celtic civilizations contiguous, to the extent that we may partly even speak of a quasi-contemporaneity of the Megalitheans' and the Celts, with ethnic intermingling. It is then no cause of wonder that megalithic buildings are frequently connected with Celtic cults - the best known example being Stonehenge (124). Only this shortened chronology makes understandable the transmission of such traditions, allegedly over millennia from people to people without direct contact in time. Similarly we have to see the development of copper, bronze and iron metallurgy as contiguous, even contemporaneous phenomena (129). The Neolithic begins in the 2nd millennium B.C ...
193. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Navels [Books]
... said the Titiensis tribus took their name from Tatius, and they were also called Tatienses. Therefore Titius from Titus = Tatius. An interesting series of conclusions may, I think, be deduced from an Irish instance of the Chinese Middle-Kingdom. I have already recorded at p. 272 how Merlin by his magic transported the pillar-stones of Kilair to Stonehenge, and how that castrum of Kilair (on the hill of Uisnech ?) 49 was called the stone and umbilicus of Hibernia, as if placed in the midst and middle of the land, medio et meditullio. It was a navel, and Stonehenge was therefore a navel also. In the Old Irish mythic tales one may pick ...
194. When The Comet Fell Ch.11 (The Riddle of the Earth) [Books]
... day marks many years in the Precession of the Equinoxes. The feature of the new calendar was that five days were added, for the plain reason that observations showed a lengthening of the days in a year. The inexactitude was no doubt soon perceived, for in six years a month would be thrown out of its place. Observatories like Stonehenge, Avebury, Ben Cruachan (Argyllshire) and elsewhere doubtlessly took measurements of the Sun's position at the equinoxes and solstices to discover if the calendar were correct, or if not how much it erred. Sir Norman Lockyer noted of Stonehenge that it was set up by a race who reckoned time by a sidereal year, like the Babylonians ...
... or idols, were erected for a deeply religious principle, in no way proving that the builders were primitive, for, on the contrary, they appear to have flourished in the Bronze and even the early Iron Ages. It is to be observed in addition that the construction of these prehistoric temples of an astronomical character, like Avebury, Stonehenge, Stanton Drew, Keswick, and others, exemplify celestial knowledge of a high order such as the relationship of Avebury to the solar ecliptic if we accept the testimony of Canon Bowles. The notable regions of ores do not need stressing. Admittedly tin was procured from Cornwall from a very early time-by "early" I mean antediluvian, ...
196. The Hamon-Gabriel-Mars Connection (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... the majority saw him as the angel of the Moon with Sammael allocated to the planet Mars. Moreover, and let Velikovskian scholars take note of this, regardless of what Isaiah 33:3 is made to state, it has absolutely no connection with the destruction of Sennacherib's army as described in Isaiah 36-38. V In a recent issue of Stonehenge Viewpoint, Donald L. Cyr praised Forrest's work with these words: "What we [Vailians] would like to do would be to stir up someone like Robert Forrest. He would then use his considerable talent to show, line for line where Vail went wrong [in his prehistoric canopy' theory] . His six volume work ...
197. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 4 TV,17.7 .00, Science Frontiers 126 Nov-Dec. 99, p. 1, 131 Sep-Oct. 00, p. 1 A 22 foot wooden circle has been found on the North Sea coast of England where it has lain for 4,000 years covered in peat. A bronze axe was found nearby. At Stonehenge a skeleton, found 80 years ago buried in a shallow grave, has been investigated. It proved to be that of a young man who was executed by decapitation using a sword and appears to date from the 8th century AD, over 2,000 years after archaeologists believe Stonehenge was last used. It is suggested that recently Christianised ...

... on and – to a small degree – modify the work begun in Ages in Chaos. The Genesis of Israel and Egypt and The Pyramid Age deal largely with events prior to the period covered in Ages in Chaos Vol.1 , whilst Ramessides, Medes and Persians deals with events subsequent to that time. The other volume, Arthur and Stonehenge is somewhat on its own, dealing – as its name implies – not with Near Eastern history, but with that of western Europe. The reader will find that I hold onto all the brilliant synchronisms and character identifications established by Velikovsky in the Ages in Chaos series, with two important points of qualification. (a ) The Egyptian ...
199. Sirius and Saturn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . There are numerous unexpected but delightful consequences. For example, Aden and the Davis Strait are separated by approximately 90 degrees. We find a string of holy places on or very near the special meridian running north' from the sub-Saturnian point: Eden, Mecca, Sinai, Gizeh, Alexandria, Knossos, Delphi, Dodona and perhaps even Stonehenge. Eden was also centred on a World Mountain. There was an Axis Mundi that ran through the centre of Earth, through both the centre of Eden and the centre of the World Mountain, and through the centre of Saturn. 20 years ago, I published a 35-page paper on this but I cannot repeat all that here. ...
200. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Sacrifice or propaganda?New Scientist 27.3 .93, p. 40 The enemies of Carthage described this city as indulging in the mass sacrifice of children. Analysis of the contents of hundreds of urns suggest that 90% of the human contents were stillbirths or abortions. However, they were interred with sacrificial lambs and kids. Golan Stonehenge National Geographic, December 1992, geographica A huge structure with five concentric stone circles is being excavated on the Golan Heights. It dates from the Bronze Age and has a northeast entrance aligned perfectly to the midsummer sunrise. Star ceiling New Scientist 2.1 .93, pp. 32-34 The oldest Chinese star map has been found on ...
