... 23), he surmised that the charge on Pluto must be very high in relation to its mass to account for the perturbations of Uranus and Neptune. In 1981 Pioneer 10 confirmed that the solar proton wind, or current flow, and its magnetic envelope extend an enormous distance, and probably out to the orbit of Pluto. It is strange that with the evidence in favour of a solar system of charged bodies immersed in a current-conducting plasma (magnetic stars have also been observed), some, if not most, astronomers are still in the pre-Space Age by their insistence on Newtonian-type gravitation as the only force governing heavenly bodies. - W. G. Shannon, Edinburgh COMMENT ...
522. The Search for Sethos [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Peter James and I have undertaken. It is my view that the Florentine MS marginal correction is genuine and that we are actually dealing with a co-regency between Seti II and Ramesses III. The details of the argument are too long to go into, so I will only mention here the main point which led me to this conclusion. The strange fact is that Ramesses III appears to have no administrative records before his Year 12! This matches the reign-period of the last three rulers of the 19th Dynasty - Seti himself, Siptah and Tausert. I am therefore suggesting that the country's administration was under the control of the last descendants of Ramesses II, while Setnakht and his son, ...
523. The Enigma of Tiahuanaco (Built Before the Flood) [Books]
... climate in the Andean Altiplano must have been tropical. NOTES 1. According to a wide spread popular ancient belief the world' is surrounded by the great sea'. 2. Another peculiar echo' is worth recording. That part of Lake Titicaca which extends to the north of Tiahuanaco is called the Lagoon of Huinaymarca. This is a strange name to give to a sheet of water, for it means, in the language of the Aymara, something like Eternal Land'. The only possible explanation is that this name harks back to the time when the sacred' region of Tiahuanaco was a peninsula in the waters of the Inter-Andean Sea of the Intermediate Level, that it ...
524. Baal-Manzer the Tyrian: A Reappraisal [Journals] [Aeon]
... 1008-975 Baalbazer 7 975-969 Abdastratus 9 969-961 Methusastartus 12 961-950 Astharymus 9 950-942 Phales 8 mo. 942 Ethbaal 32 942-911 Baalazor 8 911-904 Mattan-Baal 29 904-876 Abimilki 47 876-830 It is worth noting that in Shalmaneser's sixth year, at the Battle of Karkar, he faced a coalition which included a king Matinu-Ba'lu who came with troops from Arvad. Tyre is strangely absent from Shalmaneser's list of opponents at this battle. Since Mattan-Baal was king of Tyre at this time (883 BCE), it might be argued he was in a position to levy troops from Arvad. References 1. Fuad Safar, "A Further Text of Shalmaneser III," Sumer VII (1951), pp. 3-21 ...
... more or less regularly is no proof that it is the same individual body, and the explanation of this is that comets are projected into the solar system in certain cycles, as also that they having been once projected into it, circumscribe temporary orbits of short periods (134A). 127. There is also the general consideration of these strange orbits of both periodic and long-distance comets to be examined. The three types of orbit defined by astronomers, namely, the ellipse, parabola and hyperbola are, on the face of it, entirely opposed to the laws of gravity. Satellites of the Sun, like our earth, maintain an equilibrium based on gravity at a certain distance ...

... old chestnut of Santorini. There is certainly no hint here to back up the rumour of a Russian expedition supposedly finding evidence of ruins in the Atlantic. The Flood mythology is eventually dismissed as due to local phenomena, which is a lame finish to discussions and maps showing how widespread and similar are the flood myths from around the world. Strangely, Rezanov follows this immediately with an interesting description of the history of the Mediterranean basin, with its drying up and subsequent catastrophic reflooding about 10Myrs ago. He refers to this as a deluge, though perhaps the translation is a little misleading, but hastens to add that man had not evolved at that stage. As a collection of ...
527. Rehabilitation Of Censorinus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... does not mean that the star and the Sun are both at the horizon at the morning of the heliacal rising. Firstly this is a very improbable event, secondly it will be unobservable. The heliacal rising is the first visibility of a star (after a period of invisibility) shortly before sunrise. This is not my guess or a strange idea of modern chronologists. It is the basic idea behind Ptolemy's "Phaseis aplanoon asteroon",(8 ) a sort of almanac giving the dates of the heliacal risings and settings, the acronychal risings and cosmical settings of a number of stars. The meaning of these terms and the calculation of the phenomenon is given in the Almagest ...
528. The Riddle of the Earth [Books]
... Bergedorf, at the end of October, I924, and pronounced by Greenwich to be a " minor planet," which Dr. Crommelin discovered complacently had an orbit that brought it nearer to the sun than any planet except perhaps Eros. (Morning Post, October 3Ist, 1924.) Dr. Crommelin may be right, but a strange round cometary object implies something coming towards us, and while the meteor will probably go nearer to the sun than Eros it apparently came near to putting a great part of this earth out of business for a considerable time. As it was it left behind as a New Year's gift some of its gases which were attracted into our atmosphere ...
... or two, the relics of unlucky wretches who perished in the last stages of the cataclysm, the Great Flood or Deluge, or at the time when Luna became the companion of our Earth. We must rather ask the biologist about man's extremely delicate and complicated body, full of atavisms and bud-organs; we must ask the psychologist about the strange working of his mind, his dreams, his fears, his hopes; and we must go to the mythologist, the quiet collector of cosmic fiction', who has not been taken seriously up till now, for the true meaning of the reports that have been handed down to us from time immemorial. Though many attempts have been ...
530. The Tertiary Satellite immediately before its Cataclysmic Breakdown (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... in his mind. The Chinese say that it is only since the new order of things has come about that the stars move from east to west. After the breakdown of the Tertiary satellite its debris, like a great shooting-star stream, had rushed over the heavens from west to east. Moreover the signs of the Chinese zodiac have the strange peculiarity of proceeding against the course of the Sun, but in the direction of the former satellite. In one of the myths of the Jews we read: In those days [a time of great upheaval] the Lord caused the Sun to rise in the west and to set in the east. ' This is physically impossible. ...
