... and Mnemonics: A solstice visit to Machu Picchu David Griffard The editor visits the Intihuatana, Machu Picchu. The Intihuatana from the entrance before solstice sunset. The June visit to Machu Picchu for the winter (southern hemisphere) solstice was a perfect follow-on to the Easter Island visit in March for the autumnal equinox. While it was a bit strange to jump from mid-summer to mid-winter in a matter of a few hours, landing at over 11,000 ft. in the Peruvian Andes seemed stranger. Yet, there stood a city surrounded by great mountain peaks that reached higher still. Cuzco once represented the heart of the Inca Empire and the modern city still rests on foundation stones ...

F. J. Miller) An enormous expansion of radioactivity in bygone ages was postulated by various theorists as an explanation of great oscillations in climate in the past; the thermal effect of widespread radioactivity is likewise claimed as a motive force by the author of the modern version of the theory of drifting ...

Viemeister points out that lightning has been known to dig "a furrow-like trench" and even leave "a strange trail of holes in the ground" (40). An "Earth Rille". This trench was blasted out of a baseball diamond by a lightning bolt (UPI) Much more impressive, however, is a photograph reproduced in the National Geographic Magazine for June 1950.

254. Shamir [Journals] [Kronos]
... Immanuel Velikovsky In the Talmud and Midrashim there are many references to Shamir. Unusual qualities were ascribed to it. For instance, it reputedly could disintegrate anything, even hard, durable stones. The rabbinical literature describes it as being employed in engraving the breastplate of the High Priest. Among Solomon's possessions it was the most wondrous. But, strangely, it lost its abilities and became inactive several centuries later, about the time the Temple of Solomon was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar. What was Shamir ? In the opinion of medieval authors Rashi, Maimonides, and others Shamir was a living creature, a worm.(1 ) It was argued that Shamir could not have been a mineral ...

They left without paying their bills, but that is not why the waiters hurried after them. At 22:53 hours of this evening of February 23, 1981 a strange deep bassoon called the patrons of Philippo's Taverna to attention, and seconds later they found themselves altogether swaying like a ballet, their faces turned on in the unique poseidonian awe of earthquake recognition, and some were jostling at the door even before the lights went out. Once outside, there were those who hurried to their children, those ...
257. Assyrian History: the 'Black Hole' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1998:1 (Sep 1998) Home | Issue Contents Assyrian History: the Black Hole'by Eric Aitchison Historical revisions draw their adherents along strange paths. Those who need to stay in touch with the various revisions must also follow these paths but, like Hansel and Gretel, should keep some markings to allow themselves to make their way back to what they believe is sanity. Velikovsky's radical historical revision was and is the impetus for the new and emerging variations. Heinsohn has a revision, Lasken has a revision, Rohl has a revision; whilst Damien Mackey continues to support the basic Velikovsky line (e .g . Hatshepsut is ...

... was in law rather than biology, but around 1960 I began to study Darwinian evolution theory and since that time I have read about three hundred pounds of biological literature. The bulk of this concerned plants and animals, but a good deal of it dealt with theory, with the proper formulation of and attitude toward theory.

The Darwinians have shown that none ...
