... cosmic or celestial rhythms. Therefore we should expect to find evidence that the earliest peoples were deeply interested in astronomy, as well as in the plants and animals which surrounded them. And this is precisely what we find: the most ancient surviving monuments are astronomical in orientation and function and the examples which could be named are extremely numerous: Stonehenge; American Indian medicine-wheels; Egyptian, Chinese and American pyramids and temples; and neolithic earthworks in Europe, America and Asia. And when the ancients' concern was not with the heavens, it was with the flora and fauna of the natural world - witness the cave paintings of Altamira, or those of the Bushmen of Africa, ...
212. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... models which predict that the collision with a planet the size of Mars would suffice: Earth would have been still in the liquid phase, and the debris of collision would have created a ring round the Earth during its first few million years of history. Coalescence of material from this ring could have created the Moon. Forrest's Sauces source: STONEHENGE VIEWPOINT 65, pp.3-6; 66, pp.9-17 The one man crusade to prove that Velikovsky was wrong on everything he wrote continues apace. In issue 65 Forrest deals with more of Velikovsky's source material, on Ishtar, Athene, Aphrodite and the ILIAD. Noting that Ishtar was a goddess of love he argues that " ...

... things and have thoughts which were not always very far from those we have nowadays). It is generally accepted that prehistoric and early historic man was unable, and I underline unable, to measure the exact length of the solar year of that time. Notwithstanding the fact that on the other hand early historic man had constructed megalithic monuments (Stonehenge, among others) and that they apparently have constructed them as observatories and could even foresee solar eclipses - as you know, this needs the intervention of higher mathematics! So in one direction they were unable to measure the exact length of the year and on the other hand they were more acquainted than many people nowadays with higher mathematics ...

... numbers, habitat and/or genetics of all animal species - including humans; and in the ecosphere that world-wide disaster drastically affected the condition of human settlement everywhere, evidence from SCHAEFFER having been augmented by BIMSON and from research in other regions. A corollary of this last proposition referred to changes in the astral orientation of ancient temples, including Stonehenge. Proposition 6, dealing with the historosphere, referred to human documentation of the period - oral and written records, including myths: "All .. . mention a general and national disaster." For the anthroposphere it was proposed that "every culture complex in the world changed radically in the mid-second millennium", this referring to ...
215. A Personal Report on, and Irreverent Look at, the World Conference 'Planetary Violence in Human History' Portland, Oregon, January 3-5, 1997 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... I do not hold with a culture 10,000 or more years ago that was advanced enough to build ships and a string of supply stations so as to make war with the Greeks from near the South Pole. However, there is plenty of evidence that a sophisticated Megalithic culture existed at the time of the early Greeks; they built Stonehenge, Carnac, Callanish and all the other splendid sites along the Atlantic Coast (and in Europe - there are dolmens even in the Swiss Alps). These people could have had enough practical knowledge of sailing by the stars to move all over the world, feeding out of the ocean. Whether they would have indulged in large-scale warfare ...

217. Notes [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... Doubleday, 1976. 27. It J. C. Atkinson, Nature 210, 1302, 1966; New York Review of Books, 1966; 28. Antiquity, Sept., 1966. Science News 104, 28, July 14, 1973. It is interesting to observe Velikovsky's description of Hawkins. In 1967 when Velikovsky's article about Stonehenge was written he had undergone 17 years of libellous abusive namecalling. Four years earlier Hawkins had presented a theory which was used repeatedly, although Incorrectly, as a "proof' that Velikovsky was wrong. With all the unwarranted and unethical personal attacks on Velikovsky, what did he call the author of an opposing Idea? He said ' ...

... , in regard to the real significance of the linga-lingam principle, is not on a sufficiently high plane to realise its significance. Those who knew and understood the science of these questions were the ancient Aryans, whose pillar-stones, sacred rocks which no chisel might profane, were anointed with oil, and whose altars and temples, like Avebury and Stonehenge, erected for astronomical purposes, were built of such meteoric stones. They knew, they understood, not because they were primordial, but because they had delved farther into the scheme of the Infinite than some of our scientists of the present day. They worshipped Nature in the manner science must discover that Nature manifests itself, the meteor ...
