... Andrews, in his 1966 survey, states that One of the major questions under consideration at the beginning of the project was whether the use of brick facing for structures at Comalcalco represents a localized adaption to a region where limestone, or any other type of stone, is not readily available, or whether it represents the intrusion of a foreign tradition of construction' [8 ]. Admittedly, Andrews is guarded in his use of the word foreign', which is open to interpretation (later in the text he substitutes the phrase parallel culture'). He eventually concludes that it seems more probable that the development of brick masonry is a logical adaptation to a local situation involving ...
362. Changes in the Times and the Seasons, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... , so as to distinguish orient and occident, nor did he bring back the seasons in order."(6 ) In another work of his, Plutarch ascribes these changes to Typhon, "the destructive, diseased and disorderly," who caused "abnormal seasons and temperatures."(7 ) It is characteristic that in the written traditions of the peoples of antiquity the disorder of the seasons is directly connected with the derangement in the motion of the heavenly bodies. The oral traditions of primitive peoples in various parts of the world also retain memories of this change in the movement of the heavenly bodies, the seasons, the flow of time, during a period when darkness ...
363. Thoth Vol II, No. 3: February 15, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... on these symbols are attached to each other and to the planet Venus. On their own, the symbols do not provide any basis for the observed merging. But grant the proposed history of a COMET Venus, and all of the enigmas are removed in a single stroke. In support of this conjunction, we have also cross-referenced the Mesoamerican traditions with more general traditions about comets in other cultures, and found an underlying consistency far too broad to be explained by chance. Additionally, we have seen that the deepest fears of Mesoamerican culture turn out to be the specific fears which ancient astronomies associated SIMULTANEOUSLY with the arrival of a comet and the risings of Venus, as we should ...
364. Pompous Asimov [Books]
... by a German-dominated intellectual milieu. My conclusion takes all of these considerations into account. In the face of this complicated analysis, Asimov's puerile contention that Velikovsky merely concocted his historical ideas to enhance the Jews is not only inept but it may pathetically miss the point, which is that the ideas might nevertheless be true. If an Afro-American rewrites traditional U.S . history to show what really happened to the Blacks in America, or if a native of India re-writes traditional accounts of how the British treated the Indians, these new theories might certainly be "non-conventional" and "radical," and they most certainly would enhance the stature of Afro-Americans and Indians, but they may ...
365. Ezra and Nehemiah in Recent Research [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... on intimate contexts as the memoirs suggest. The memoirs would represent the daily intimate contexts, and the documents, the official contexts. I have argued based on the understanding that Darius bore the title Artaxerxes, i.e , having just rule, ' that this is a reflection of his reign and his interest in local legal and religious traditions as independently exemplified in Egypt and elsewhere. Thus a change in the type of source- personal, and subject matter, concerned with cultic matters and other legalities also entailed a change in the form of address from royal name to title and honorific. None of these matters should cause us to forget that there are literary themes at work ...
366. The Ring of Truth by Isaac Vail [Books]
... a broad band of dark vapors, nearly 10,000 miles in width. At times it is very strangely marked. Great streamers of light run parallel with it at times, reminding one of huge serpents coiling around the planets. This belt would entirely over-canopy our Earth, with almost impenetrable darkness which reminds one of the Old Night of tradition. On the north side of the equatorial band is a dark band, about 3,000 miles wide, and at times I have fancied I could see great bridgeways built across the equatorial band to it, over which streamers passed. These two dark bands revolve in almost exactly equal times, while the poleward bands revolve perceptibly slower ...
367. On the Survival of Velikovsky's Thesis in 'Ages in Chaos' [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... modify certain points in my thesis, but on these two points there has been no change of opinion over the twenty years since publication. It is here contended that this is the only feasible placement of the Israelite conquest and that there is little hope of attaining solutions to related problems short of first correcting these mistakes made in setting up the traditional chronology of the early dynasties. Placing the Hyksos in Dynasty XIII Even prior to adoption of this sothic dating scheme in the late era of the nineteenth century, the problem of placing the Hyksos invasion in relation to Dynasty XIII had become a "bone of contention." The view had long been entertained that the Hyksos invasion marked the ...
... to refer to astronomical facts past all dispute. It is well here to give Naville's remarks upon it. It will be seen that they strengthen my view. [4 ] "La 363me année de son règne, le dieu part avec son fils pour Égypte. Voilà donc une date prècise de l'un de ces rois qui, selon les traditions égyptiennes, avaient occupé le trône de l'Égypte avant les souverains indigènes. Cette année-là, Horhut chasse Typhon de l'Égypte, et s'établit en roi sur tout le pays. Cela concorderait donc avec ce que nous disent Manéthon et Eusèbe, que, dans la première dynastie des dieux, Typhon précéda immédiatement Horus. La succession se serait faite par ...
369. "Nemesis" -- A New Idea as Old as the Bible? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the existence of "Planet X" and its catastrophic effects have shifted to an examination of a grand cycle of earthly extinctions every 25 million years; and that grand cycle too appears to conform to ancient knowledge- Sumerian, biblical, and even Hindu. That ancient peoples applied "astronomical" numbers to celestial movements is well known from Hindu traditions.[l ] There, a "Day of the Lord Brahma" (a kalpa) was defined as an eon comprising 12 million Divine Years (devas); each Divine Year equalled 360 Earth Years. Thus, a Day of the Lord Brahma equalled 4,320,000,000 Earth Years. A study of the ...
370. Heretics, Dogmatists and Science's Reception of New Ideas (Part 2) [Journals] [Kronos]
... as the contention that there are no truths save those of science is not itself a scientific truth, in affirming it, scientism contradicts itself. It also carries marks of a religion- a secular religion, resulting from over extrapolation from science, that has seldom numbered great scientists among its votaries. Huston Smith, Forgotten Truth: The Primordial Tradition (Harper & Row, 1976), pp. 16-17. Western thinkers accepted Newton's theories with such gusto that they committed. . . the intellectual error of believing that they had finally captured ultimate reality. Whitehead labelled this belief the "fallacy of misplaced concreteness," and he contended that it was responsible for the periodic roadblocks that ...
