... . The arch was in use both in Egypt and Mesopotamia from Early Dynastic times - though like iron, it was apparently then forgotten for almost 2,000 years. Its early use in Egypt, both in the temples and tombs of the pyramid-builders, is discussed at some length by various of the early archaeologists. In fact, so strange did the occurrence of the arch and other advanced features appear that some scholars of the late 19th and early 20th centuries began to wonder whether most of these Pyramid Age structures were either built, or at least extensively reconstructed, in the Late Period. Flinders Petrie noted this idea but rejected it because, Not a hieroglyph, not a ...
542. Diluvial and Prelunar Culture (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... save a distant gleam in their old tales, myths, traditions, customs. Most of them are only settlers, the descendants of chance survivors of the great cataclysm which changed the face of the Earth some 13,500 years ago, chance survivors, not the pick of their race, who came in proas and dugouts and settled on strange islands which no man had known before. For many of the islands of the Pacific Ocean are only the peaks of a lost continent. The teeming race that inhabited its wide plains and pleasant slopes is lost, as is their land, lost in the waters of the capture tide of our present Moon. ...
543. On "The Year -687": A Postscript (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... about 50 days) and that the morning and evening star intervals are represented as being unequal." Then in a footnote (which references Antonie Pannekoek, A History of Astronomy, 1969, p.33) he states: "It is curious that the Babylonians also counted a three-month disappearance interval. . ." This is certainly a strange state of affairs, but what about the other intervals? The Venus table in the Dresden Codex consists of five pages (pp. 46-50). Each page represents one synodic revolution of Venus, and consists of four columns. The bottom line contains the number sequence 236, 90, 250, 8 - the intervals of visibility and ...
544. Atlantis (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... wrote in his logbook, There is no Atlantis, ' and so too the captain of the cable steamer. But the former had cruised, perhaps, hardly two miles from the ruined hails of the royal castle of Atlantis, and the latter may have laid a cable across the very market-places of the Seven Cities. It would be very strange if there were only one report of the destruction of Atlantis, and it would cast a very unfavourable light upon the veracity of Plato. The vast island must have been densely populated, and out of its teeming millions quite an appreciable number must have survived the catastrophe. Besides, Atlantis was a colonial empire, and many of her ...
545. Summary and Closing Address [Journals] [SIS Review]
... I think we all owe a great debt to the two ladies at the back Val Pearce and Jill Abery, whose efforts have been absolutely crucial to this conference taking place and in such a positive fashion and that most of the arrangements have actually worked. We can't blame Jill and Val for difficulties in finding our rooms, and the rather strange idiosyncrasies of the hotel. Without any question, it has been a great conference, so can we thank the two ladies [tumultuous applause]. A pleasant journey home for everybody, it has been a pleasure to meet all of you and I hope we will meet again in the not-too-distant future. Acknowledgements Thanks are due to all ...
546. Cosmic Catastrophes and the Ballgame of the Sky Gods in Mesoamerican Mythology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... first human sacrifices who, according to the Popol Vuh, were beheaded. We shall come back to this interesting association of natural catastrophes and human sacrifices later. In the middle of this situation, both pair of twins One Hunahpu and Seven Hunahpu as well as the son of One Hunahpu, Hunahpu and Xbalanque appear on the stage of this strange sequence of events. Both pair of twins are the first heavenly gods who are contesting the powers of the underworld in a cosmic battle which also involves ballgame matches [33]. On the way to Xibalba, the underworld, One Hunahpu and Seven Hunahpu throw a heavenly ball' at one another. The impact of this ball is ...
547. The Legends of the Jews: Volume I - Jacob [Books]
... his income.[144] God had promised him almost all that is desirable, but he feared he might forfeit the pledged blessings through his sinfulness,[145] and again he prayed earnestly that God bring him back to his father's house unimpaired in body, possessions, and knowledge,[146] and guard him, in the strange land whither he was going, against idolatry, an immoral life, and bloodshed.[147] His prayer at an end, Jacob set out on his way to Haran, and the third wonder happened. In the twinkling of an eye he arrived at his destination. The earth jumped from Mount Moriah to Haran. A wonder ...
548. Exodus Or Exile. Ch. 7. (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... his army and his nobles, and "then spake the chief of the land of Hatti to his army and his nobles" and explained to them the advantages of giving a daughter to Ramses for a wife. "His majesty [Ramses] received the word- in the palace, with joy of heart . . . when he heard such strange and unexpected matters. . . ." At that time many princes and rulers of foreign countries were gathered in the residence of the pharaoh. But when they heard that the Great King of Hatti was coming, awe seized them. "The great chiefs of every land came; they were bowed down, turning back in fear, ...

... part of the crust of India actually involved. But this means India is a truncation, does it not? Santos Plateau is the case of a shear of the granitic crust about half way down to ocean bottom; Rio Grand Rise, and the long Walvis Ridge are apparently part of the top layer, and a nemotath involved in this strange occurrence. Batholiths Some dimensional changes in the crust (usually exaggerated according to Bucher) may be attributed to uplifts like those along the Cordillera of North and South America. Batholiths are prominent along the massive uplifts as seen by the Cordillera of Canada west of the Canadian Rockies. They may also have caused some overthrusting of the Cambrian and ...
550. In Defence of the Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... " Day counters, "Nowhere else in Egyptian records is Jerusalem called Kadesh." Why, then, was Jerusalem "Kadesh" (holy) in Egyptian terminology in the time of Thutmose III?. (4 ) Velikovsky explains: "In the latter part of his reign the builder of the Temple in Jerusalem became a worshipper of strange gods and a builder of high places to them .. .. ln erecting shrines to strange gods, he thought that Jerusalem, as the abode of the deities of foreign nations, would .. . become the gathering place for various religions and cults. .. ..
