... added the a' at the front end. (52) Apart from the howler about Punic being the Phoenician language- a misconception I had already corrected for him in 1980 (53)- to say nothing of the utter falsity of "Baal" having been the Phoenician "word" for "Mars," the above is rather strange for it is here, if anywhere, that Patten should have cited McDowell. This is so because, in the interim, McDowell did finally publish a paper in which he presented his basis for the Apollo/Baal equation. To be sure, this was not the same aborted paper that Patten had been referencing in his previous works ...
452. The Burning of Troy by Alfred De Grazia [Books] [de Grazia books]
... to go up. Then the winds blow, the wild animals pass heading upland, the rising sun beckons and the moon waxes nervously full. Off one goes, leaving the finished things, the half-finished work, freeing the pigs, and letting the roots wither. Now it is a new sight very day, a spring discovered, a strange bird and animal, a day fishing, a day hunting, a day in the hollow of a tree with a pain. The wonders of the region spin unendingly with the vault of heaven. One is not fulfilled, but then one was not fulfilled before: such is the curse and its thrilling clutch upon the pioneer. I ...

454. The Synchronistic Chronical: A Critique [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... King of Nations.[23] But who was Dada of Guti? Contrary to Dr. Courville's advice we have a king-list for the Guti,[24] but no name even vaguely resembling Dada is contained in it. Perhaps Dr. Courville means Dudu of Akkad, but his proposed chronology places that king over a century later. Strangely enough the Gutian kings end with Tirigan, but yet under Dr. Courville's proposals they still continue during the later Akkadian period until the time of Gudea,[25] thus placing their last ruler a full century before "their supremacy was brought to an end." The Guti do not appear in the chronology of Mesopotamia until the ...
455. <i>Society for the Study of Egyptian Antiquities</i> Journal (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Policy in Relation to Egypt in the Eighth and Seventh Centuries B.C ., " A. Kirk Grayson (JSSEA, March 1981, 85-88). (8 ) "The Special Features of the Saqqara King-List," Jorommir Malek (JSSEA, January 1982, 21-29). This interesting article attempts to account for some of the strange organizational features of this list. It is especially useful in the light of various new works on Egyptian king lists: (a ) The Palermo Stone and the Archaic Kings of Egypt, by Patrick F. O'Mara, (b ) Chronology of the Palermo and Turin Canons, also by O'Mara, (c ) D. B. ...
456. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... The head, it has been shown, slows down or stops on impact, but the rest of the shaft continues to move. This compression actually shortens the arrow for an instant, then it expands again, several times to be sure, so that the arrow penetrates its target as if driven by a series of hammer blows. Very strange things seem to happen in high-velocity impacts. I have heard of bits of straw being driven into fence-posts by hurricane winds. In London, the pilings that were being driven into the bottom of the river for a new bridge kept exploding. The waves of compression from the blows of the pile-driver went down to the bottom and were followed ...
457. Legends and Scripture [Books] [de Grazia books]
... authenticity of some reported events, thereupon to learn to their surprise that these can in fact be confirmed. One of these was the dropping of manna among the hungry Israelites in the desert. Fitting precisely the details provided in the Bible and legendary sources to the conditions under which manna-like confections could be manufactured - electrical discharges, high temperatures, strange atmospheric gases, molecular compounding, etc. - a considerable degree of confirmation can be accorded to the Biblical story, enough to swing the scientific balance in its direction. Once more, however, I would stress that by proving the capability of natural causes to have produced the Biblical "miracle," ordinary science erodes sacred scripture. ...
458. Thoth Vol VI, No 4: June 30, 2002 [Journals] [Thoth]
... small book, The Logic of Special Relativity by S. J. Prokhovnik. In it he equates the apparent shortening of measuring rods and slowing of clocks when they move away from an observer at constant velocity to the diminution in size experienced by two receding travellers. The effect is reciprocal but no one imagines that the effect is real. Strangely, in effect that is precisely what Einstein did imagine and it has led to continual confusion and argument. Experiments were said to prove the effect was real but when examined closely each brought its own set of preconceptions to the data. The problem was compounded when it was argued that space itself shortened, not the rod. It is ...
459. The Charisma of Moses [Books] [de Grazia books]
... say: "That he has... foretold the incident, and unlike the usual magicians, has done so without any magical conjurations... and that he further knows how to interpret the signs of the incident; these facts have a somewhat weird atmosphere not inviting any too close contact. The unwieldy words, with which a strange God jerkily moves his throat, only serve to enhance the weirdness."[51] If correct prediction is the test of a scientist, then, never mind the sorcery, augury, conjuration or magic; Moses is a distinguished scientist. Moses himself is at the same time interpreted as one who banishes magic, augury, and ...
460. Imaginary Worlds [Journals] [Aeon]
... of imagination to see the Ibn ben Zara outline as simply an exaggerated version of the modern one, and the theory that it would be "helpful to navigators" to portray a delta comprising 50 miles of swamps and marshes as a nice wide estuary is hard to take seriously. Interestingly, this map also shows a submerged Scotland- another strange anachronistic feature which coincidentally corresponds to conditions thousands of years previously, but would be distinctly unhelpful to navigators of the late 15th century. As can be seen, Mewhinney has raised some useful points but he still has a long way to go before he can genuinely claim to have disposed of Hapgood's perplexing maps. I just hope that in ...
