... coats. Moreover, the often hellishly-depicted pterosaurs did have fur, and were thus not some kind of cold-blooded "flying lizard." Many sea creatures, such as the Ichthyosaurs, were probably as "mammalian in nature" as modern porpoises, both of these bearing live young. Nevertheless, to modern eyes, it would have been a strange world in many respects. But it belonged to the distant past, and it is gone forever. If a marauding planet was indeed responsible for destroying the Paleozoic world-barring its own destruction or disturbance by a third body-it was almost inevitable that it would challenge the earth again; such is the physics of orbital mechanics. Whether by the same ...
592. The Legends of the Jews: Volume I - Abraham [Books]
... Haran with their households. They found the land pleasant, and also the inhabitants thereof, who readily yielded to the influence of Abraham's humane spirit and his piety. Many of them obeyed his precepts and became God-fearing and good.[45] Terah's resolve to quit his native land for the sake of Abraham and take up his abode in strange parts, and his impulse to do it before even the Divine call visited Abraham himself- this the Lord accounted a great merit unto Terah, and he was permitted to see his son Abraham rule as king over the whole world. For when the miracle happened, and Isaac was born unto his aged parents, the whole world repaired to ...
593. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... mistaken account of the pecking order of the astral gods. Insistence on orthodoxy of belief is clearly one of the more durable traits of Homo sapiens. MICHAEL G. READE Checkendon, Oxon. Cores and Effects Sir, The NASA scientists (" A Core of Truth", SISR IV:2 /3 , p. 72) seem strangely unaware that there is a mass of evidence indicating that a rocky core has been ejected from a gaseous planet in astronomically very recent times. Their computers may tell them that the gravitational field of the sun could strip off the immense atmospheres of some gaseous planets long ago, leaving the solid cores to form the terrestrial planets, but most ...
594. A Holographic World [Journals] [Kronos]
... the life source itself- were these instances of being in harmony with the primary level of reality? Millions are experimenting with the psychotechnologies. Are they creating a more coherent, resonant society, feeding order into the great social hologram like seed crystals? Perhaps this is the mysterious process of collective evolution. The holographic model also helps explain the strange power of the image- why events are affected by what we imagine, what we visualize. An image held in a transcendental state may be made real. Keith Floyd, a psychologist at Virginia Intermont College, said of the holographic possibility, "Contrary to what everyone knows is so, it may not be the brain that produces ...
595. Historical Day Cycles and Ancient Calendars (Forum) [Journals] [Aeon]
... every 64 years of 365 days or 73 periods of 320 days. This is the minimum period because of the use of the prime number 73. There is no equal cycle involving 120 days in this interval of 23360 days. The Maya had other extraordinary calendars of 364 and 819 days. In my Braziers paper I showed how even these strange day volume calendars could be integrated into my Inferred Maya Cycles. The new calendar length from Ashton's article has relevance within my Maya numbers: 320 x 819 = 262080. This number is Maya-relevant as 260 x 1008 = 262080. The calendar of 819 days has to have relevance to the year that had 360 days: 360 x 728 ...
596. The Coming Cosmic Debate in the Sciences and Humanities: Revolutionary Vs. Evolutionary Primevology [Articles]
... a phrase, illud tempus, "That Time", to refer to a point to which all myth connected with the cosmos referred. But he would not venture himself into the real precincts of That Time. He says, in effect, that everyone and everything can be referred back to That Time, but nothing really happened then. Strange indeed. Certainly, much is to be done in the revision of mythology. Better than Freud, Jung and others, the revolutionary primevologist can explain myth in the context of a human mind trying to cope with disastrous ecological experience. Myth-analysis goes hand in hand with a reconstructed natural history to permit great advances in translating symbols and making ...
597. Child of Saturn (Part III) [Journals] [Kronos]
... usually considered to be an Earth god. The fact that he is said to have been a serpent with seven heads or seven horns,(7 ) however, easily identifies him as an aspect of Saturn. What is curious about Mbaz is that he is sometimes spoken of as a goddess "for the sex of these Zapotec deities is strangely unstable".(8 ) Jill Abery, who has mistakenly identified the primeval Mother Goddess as the planet Venus, has also sought to associate black versions of her with "the sinister morning star aspect" of this planet.(9 ) There are, however, no black representations of Venus. The two candidates that Abery proposed ...
598. The Queen of Sheba and the Song of Songs [Journals] [SIS Review]
... "cultic" hypothesis [9 ]. But there are also several puzzles that can be better solved by the "Queen of Sheba/Hatshepsut" hypothesis than by any other theory. 1. "To a mare among Pharaoh's cavalry would I compare you, my darling." (1 :9 ) This direct reference to Egypt seems strange if applied to an Israelite girl, but quite natural if the beloved is an Egyptian. 2. "Black am I and beautiful, O Jerusalem girls, like the tents of Qedar, like the pavilions of Salmah. Stare not at me that I am swart, that the sun has blackened me." (1 :6 ...
599. Mitcham Replies [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... 1982) Dr. Courville had commented: I see no difficulty in making the dynasty of the Sea Peoples contemporary with Dynasty I at Babylon. The Synchronous Chronicle does label these as kings of Babylon, but they were kings of the Sea Peoples ruling the Sea Peoples by permission of the kings of Babylon. This situation is not at all strange in ancient times. Manetho has Persian kings listed as Egyptian kings during the Persian period. Dr. Courville does not explain why he accepts the Sealand rulers' receiving the rank of "King of Babylon" within the SC if in fact they never held Babylon. By doing so he declares the SC wrong in terming the Sealanders as ...
600. Some Implications of Saunders' Lunar Hypothesis [Journals] [SIS Review]
... viscous forces acting at the interface between the plates and the mantle, these would affect the shift of Earth's axes in ways, and to an extent, which are totally unpredictable. Surface Features of the Moon Saunders [1 ] writes: The Moon always shows the same face to us – it appears not to rotate. It has three strange features: the crusta which covers its core is thicker on the side away from us; the maria, or "seas" – craters filled with debris - are largely confined to the face we see; the blanket of fine glassy debris (up to 60% consists of glassy agglomerates called "regolith") which covers the Moon ...
