... the Highlands on May Day until early last century."7Admittedly the old pagan customs died hard in these parts, and the Applecross district especially maintained a superstitious regard for the Underworld cult and its rites. The Rev. Dr. Macleod says that in the seventeenth century the Gaels in these very parts had to be compelled to abandon "strange ~ for the propitiation of the spirit of the place", rites which included "incantations and material sacrifices of heathendom", otherwise wizardry and witchcraft when actually human sacrifices were performed.8 Loch Torridon, above Applecross, has a suggestive name, implying torrid, heat, fiery, burning, the loch itself having the aspect of ...
612. Physics, Astronomy and Chronology. Part One: Radiometric Chronometry [Journals] [SIS Review]
... other 35% via the decay of tellurium-208. Other branches exist in each of the common radioactive decay series. Excursion If I may digress for the moment into the realm of fable, a tale was told to me on my travels to a far-off land: "The Zanani, savants and explorers of the finest rank, once discovered a strange species of surlaw whose dietary habits confused their ecneics-caste members (whose job it was to understand and interpret erutan). Their leader ecneics, the eminent Nagas, had gone so far as to declare the behaviour of the surlaws to be suoladnacs, their equivalent of un-natural (the translation is far from exact for their language does not readily ...
... represented on Egyptian wall-paintings bearing polygonal stripes on the threshold of Amenta itself. They were the Northern Pillars, marking the columnar regions, in whose midst, and crowning all others in stark significance, stands the phenomenal isle Staffa. When the manes had reached Amenta and was tried in the Hall of Maati, it will be recollected that the strange conundrum was put to him, "Who is he whose roof is fire, whose walls are living serpents, whose floor is a stream of water?" The reply, it was also stated, was, "Osiris." I said then that it seemed an irrelevant question, and so, indeed, it appeared, for ...
... she slid down into the following trough, her decks partly submerged. Almost everything movable was washed away but the timely warning by the watch proved the salvation of the crew. "The sea was observed to be in a phenomenal state of commotion. It appeared literally to boil and in many places miniature waterspouts shot into the air. A strange roaring, due to some submarine disturbance, could be plainly heard above the general din. The water from some of the spouts fell upon the Cadillac's deck, and was found to be distinctly warm. In a few minutes the wind died almost completely away, whereupon sulphurous fumes filled the air and made breathing difficult. Subsequently thousands of ...
615. The Rites Of Moloch [Journals] [Kronos]
... only through the works of Philo Byblius. Thus William Albright wrote: " . . . in Carthage Ba'al-hammon (= El) [the same as Elus/Saturn] was honored down to the third century A.D . by having children sacrificed as burnt offerings . . . That El should be the patron of human sacrifice may seem strange, in view of the fact that he appears in early sources as the Merciful One' . . . "( 78) And also: "Among classical authors who have transmitted details about the burning of children as sacrifices to Kronos (Saturnus) are especially Diodorus Siculus . . . and Tertullian . . . " (79) ...
616. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... were based on linear mathematics but new modelling based on chaos theory does produce monster waves every so often. Meanwhile measurements of radioactivity in sand falling in Greece from storms over the Sahara; indicate that material from Chernobyl, 15 years ago, is still being washed from the atmosphere and that contamination can be spread between continents. More examples of strange happenings which were probably the result of self-igniting methane burps form the sea, or natural gas emanations from land include a 17th century episode in Wales when a fiery exhalation from the sea repeatedly set fire to buildings and vegetation on land and caused disease in cattle, later luminous phenomena in the same region in 1904 associated with religious revival, ...
617. Thiele's Assyrian Reliance [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , Tuhana*, Ishtunda*, Hubishna* and from the queen of Arabia. (Those cities with asterisks are unidentifiable. They are not Judaean cities or locales.) Once we remove Samerina, Tyre and Gubla from the list, the remaining 10 places are a long way from the unrepresented Judah. Samerina/Samaria.It is strange that up to and after this first mention of Samerina, the area of Israel is always called Bit Humri or Omri Land or similar. It is also strange that a city so far away from the centre of hostilities should send tribute. Even given the continued use of Samaria after Samerina, I suggest that Samerina is some other place ...
618. The Organization of the Solar System, Part II: A Galactic Capture Hypothesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Our model of the precapture era has Venus revolving around Earth (out of plane from Mars) and like the Moon, Venus showed the same face to Earth at all times. When Venus was captured by the Sun, it tried to keep showing its same face to Earth and for a while it succeeded. Today, Venus rotates strangely backward in a period of once per 243 days. This reverse rotational period of Venus is in 3:2 timing (or resonance) with the Earth's orbit. The dynamics of the capture scene, as Venus was divorced from the Earth and was adopted by the Sun, determined both the slow rotation of Venus and the backward direction ...
619. Anomalistics - a New Field of Interdisciplinary Studies [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... seem not merely to have survived but to have flourished immediately before their geologically sudden disappearance.4 A good example of a social science anomaly is the archaic megalithic complex, of which the best known specimen is probably the great stone circle at Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England. In an apparent effort to contain (since they cannot eliminate) the strangeness of this complex, in which both the methods and the motives of construction remain obscure, archeologists have written about it as though it were confined to pre-Roman Europe. In fact, however, it is found on every continent but Australia and dates from any or all of the last seven millennia. Associated with it, furthermore, are ...
620. Were the "Sumerians of the Third Millennium" in Reality the Chaldeans of the First Millennium? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of these similar ideas. The existence of similar concepts earlier than we anticipated or would like to see is not a valid criterion for chronologically juxtaposing them. * Heinsohn-Marx state that "This greatest of all Assyrian kings [Sargon] gains his greatest victory against the never yet defeated Chaldean king Merodach-Baladan [about 721-710 B.C .] . Strangely enough, we hear about this feat only from Merodach [Baladan] while the Assyrian annals of Sargon himself remain silent about his greatest deed (cf. Oates, 115)." Oates (115) says nothing about Sargon and Merodach-Baladan, but talks about Merodach-Baladan paying tribute to Tiglath-pileser III (745-727 B.C .) . ...
