... the climate of Giza has been exceedingly dry for the past 5,000 years, he said that the Sphinx must have been constructed between about 7,000BC and 5,000BC. As West pointed out, there are no indications that a civilisation capable of producing the Sphinx existed then in Egypt or anywhere else. However, by a strange twist of logic, he went on to suggest that the Sphinx was the creation of an even earlier civilisation, whose traces are buried where no-one has yet looked. Bauval and Hancock use similar logic to argue that because we cannot easily explain how the megalithic pillars and architraves in the Valley Temple of Khafre next to the Sphinx were put ...
... , "The composition of... [Venus'] clouds remain uncertain; ice and mercurous chloride have been proposed, but there are difficulties with either hypothesis." In fact, John S. Lewis of M.I .T wrote in "The Atmosphere, Clouds and Surface of Venus" in The Solar System and its Strange Objects, ed. B.J . Skinner, (Los Altos, CA 1981), p. 93, that there are several different gases being considered as the major component of Venus' clouds. He states, "The clouds of Venus have been a favorite topic of controversy, and here the matter is still in a ...
673. Philologos | The Legends of the Jews: Volume IV [Books]
... . Yet, the grandson of Moses was not an idolater of ordinary calibre. His sinful conduct was not without a semblance of morality. From his grandfather he had heard the rule that a man should do "Abodah Zarah" for hire rather than be dependent upon his fellow-creatures. The meaning of "Abodah Zarah" here naturally is "strange," in the sense of "unusual" work, but he took the term in its ordinary acceptation of "service of strange gods." (132) So far from being a whole-souled idolater, he adopted methods calculated to harm the cause of idol worship. Whenever any one came leading an animal with the intention of sacrificing ...

676. From Venus with Love [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Stephanos had been flirtatiously corresponding with a Southern devotee and, not long afterwards, in a paranoiac mood, came to suspect that Stephanos might even be purloining papers of his. You must remove him from the Board of Trustees of the Foundation for Studies of Modern Science, he told Deg, the President, and others. "Politics makes strange bedfellows," but so does science when it strikes out in new directions. Whoever wants to sleep with the partner of his choice or to sleep alone must give up creative dreams. V. sought hard to deny his bedfellows, but they were with him from the moment his book struck a popular chord, attracting many who were ...
677. Intimations of an Alien Sky [Journals] [Aeon]
... committed such an error? Or, if an error it was not, why would they have perpetuated such a falsity? Of course, one could also ask: Why take the word of Diodorus, a Greek historian, who could easily have been mistaken on matters Babylonian? But was Diodorus the only writer of antiquity who ever reported this strange belief concerning the planet Saturn? And, in fact, were the Babylonians the only ones who asserted this oddity? To give but one other example- and later we shall give others- we note here one of the Sanskrit names of the planet Saturn, that is Grahanayakah. (25) This name is composed of the words ...
... add that Nova Pictoris has disappeared like hundreds of other such "temporary" stars that appear from nowhere, blaze up, and vanish, leaving behind them frequently a trail of disaster culminating with the passage of an enormous meteor, which may wreak destruction in many and various ways. I might cite many more examples, such as the "strange star" seen at Porto Rico on January 6, 1931, from 10 to noon, moving steadily across the western sky, following on earthquakes and deluges in Argentina, a "strange glow in the sky," many earth-quakes in other places, including a vast submarine earthquake in the Pacific Ocean between Chile and the Pacific Islands, ...

680. Thoth Vol V, No 10: August 31, 2001 [Journals] [Thoth]
... WAL'S COMMENT: A sea of neutrinos won't account for galactic rotation curves- the neutrinos cannot be distributed evenly, but must be collected in a halo. Dark matter is not required to explain galactic form and rotation in a plasma universe. The galactic forms and evolution have been experimentally confirmed in plasma laboratories and in super-computer plasma simulations. No strange invisible matter is needed. However, a vast sea of unreactive neutrinos could be the long debated "ether" that permeates space. Space is not a void. We then have an electrically responsive medium for the transmission of light in which the characteristic velocity of an electrical disturbance in that medium is the so- called speed of light ...
