... still visible, and its > rising and setting would determine day and night.Actually, there is no question about Saturn being regarded as the ancient sun-god. This is very well-attested and all serious scholars agree on it. What they don't agree on is how to explain it. Here's a brief quote from a recent book on Mesopotamian astronomical traditions: "[ Saturn] was known as the night sun, or star of the sun. Parpola suggests that this identification may be due to an association of Saturn's Akkadian name, derived from the root kun, with kittu, justice', which is of course an attribute of Shamash. Another explanation offered by Pingree is that the ...

Artapanus: "But when the Egyptians .. . were pursuing them, a fire, it is said, shone out upon them from the front, and the sea overflowed the path again, and the Egyptians were all destroyed by the fire and the flood."(2 ) The great discharges of interplanetary force are commemorated in the traditions, legends, and mythology of all the peoples of the world.

583. Red Earth, White Lies, Native Americans and the myth of scientific fact, by Vine Deloria, Jr. [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Indians as it has been handed down in myth and legend. By so doing the author exposes the European ethnocentricity which led to the Bering land bridge theory and its follow-up theory that the first Americans were responsible for the extinction of a large variety of the ice-age megafauna by overkill. Neither theory holds up against either the physical evidence or Indian traditions. It seems that the supporters of the Pleistocene hit men' theory persist in ignoring all the evidence of the Alaska muck deposits, filled with the bones of these animals, because they do not want to accept a possible world wide flood. Many Indian traditions indicate that most tribes lived while the megafauna fauna were still around and these ...
584. The Velikovskian Vol. IV, No. 3: Contents [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Ginenthal) Hard cover, 154pp, ISBN 0-9639759-0-3 Electro-Gravitic Theory of Celestial Motion & Cosmology presents a revolutionary explanation of celestial motion which challenges Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity and Isaac Newton's view that gravity and intertia are the only forces which generate celestial motion. Employing Electro-Gravitic Theory, Charles Ginenthal maintains that celestial bodies exhibit systematic behavior not explained by traditional theory. This theory posits the concept that electromagnetism is a counter force to gravity which can be fully tested in space. This cosmological theory challenges nearly all the established explanations for the birth, evolution, and death of galaxies, as well as the birth, evolution and death of stars. The hallmark of the theory is that is ...
585. The Tang-I Var Inscription [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Ethiopians, I came across references to the above inscription and was amazed at the implications for the alignments of two ancient people; Sargon II and Shebiktu. The web-site related to my search and which I found most interesting was'[ANE] Meluha and Tang-I Var'. The question posed there appears to sum up the dilemma of the traditional chronologists when faced by this inscription: How do we explain the reference to Shabataka (Shebiktu) in an inscription of Sargon II discovered at Tang-I Var and dated by Assyriologist, Grant Frame, to 706 B.C ? The Tang-I Var relief also records an Assyrian campaign against Karalla - a land in the Zagros Mountains that, as ...
586. The Oera Linda Book Again [Journals] [SIS Review]
... narrative being fairly detailed at that point. The chronology of the book takes the sinking of Aldland as its starting-point, and the visit of Ulysses to Holland is dated precisely 1005 years after that event, i.e . in 1188BC; his visit is specifically said to have occurred after the fall of Troy. This fits well with the traditional date for the fall of Troy, but in Velikovsky's chronology the fall of Troy (and hence the wanderings of Ulysses, if we accept the latter as historical) belong in the 8th century BC. A supporter of the revised chronology must believe that the forger has betrayed his hand here. If the chronology of the Oera Linda Book ...
587. The science of meteoritics: Stones of Heaven [Books]
... large metallic inclusions (mainly iron-nickel). Siderites and siderolithes are easily recognizable by their high magnetism and the characteristic pattern the metallic portions show when polished (Widmanstatten pattern). Meteorites are now known to have fallen on our planet at least since the appearance of man. This had been denied for many centuries, although many historical documents and traditions of Antiquity refer directly or indirectly to the fall of meteorites. It was generally believed by the scientific world of the seventeenth, eighteenth, and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries that `stones of heaven', `sky stones', or thunderbolts' were terrestrial stones thrown into the air by volcanoes and which, after travelling in ...

589. Fomenko is right! [Journals] [SIS Review]
... then they need not bother with the linguistic and other interpretations. Their disagreement is expressed quite vividly and forcefully when they claim that Fomenko and Nosovsky are undoubtedly guilty of circular reasoning over the question of AD dates'. One of the basic conclusions of Fomenko's work is that the theologians and chronologists of the 16th-17th century AD' created the present traditional' chronology of the western world' and they did this from chronological material which covered no more than the previous 500-700 years. Thus, as Fomenko claims, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle could not have been written before the 16th century AD' precisely because it uses the AD' system of the Christian' Calendar which first came into use at ...
590. Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time [Journals] [Aeon]
... of Copernicus. [1 ] As Arthur Koestler observed, this was hardly a novel situation: "The inertia of the human mind and its resistance to innovation are most clearly demonstrated not, as one might expect, by the ignorant mass- which is easily swayed once its imagination is caught- but by professionals with a vested interest in tradition and in the monopoly of learning. Innovation is a twofold threat to academic mediocrities: it endangers their oracular authority, and it evokes the deeper fear that their whole, laboriously constructed intellectual edifice might collapse. The academic backwoodsmen have been the curse of genius from Aristarchus to Darwin and Freud; they stretch, a solid and hostile phalanx ...
