... , for example, uses it for purely pragmatic purposes: ". .. to abandon 1786 B.C . as the year when Dynasty XII ended would be to cast adrift from our only firm anchor, a course that would have serious consequences for the history, not of Egypt alone, but of the entire Middle East," writes Gardiner, when dealing with "the difficult topic of chronology" (10). The scheme commonly applied is that of a calendar tied to the fixed star called Spdt in Egyptian, Sothis in Greek, and Sirius by the Romans - the English "Dog star" . The star becomes visible in Egypt about the time when the ...
382. Electro-Gravitic Theory (Forum) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 2002) Home | Issue Contents Forum Electro-Gravitic Theory Charles Ginenthal responds to Crew review Having read Eric Crew's review of my Electro-Gravitic Theory of Celestial Motion and Cosmology (C &CR 2001:1 pp. 56-57), I'm sorry he saw little value in it. However he didn't get the nature of the electro-magnetic mechanism correct: I was writing about emitting antennas with radial and tangential magnetic fields, which is a well known aspect of radio engineering. In deciding that celestial bodies were like solenoids rather than antennas, Eric misrepresented my work. The Appendix he mentioned left out the most important fact in the book. There is a test offered that can determine whether magnetism effects motion ...
383. A Hypothetical Ancient Telescope [Journals] [Horus]
... traditionally thought to have been invented around 1608 and first used astronomically by Galileo in 1610. However, there are numerous instances of Renaissance "discoveries" actually being rediscoveries of ancient knowledge. Electroplating, mechanical clocks, steam engines, concentrating mirrors, and the circumnavigation of Africa are certain and sure examples. Since less than ten percent of the writings of the ancient world survive, it is likely there are many more examples of lost discoveries. Archaeological evidence from Pompeii shows that the ancient Romans used water-filled glass globes to magnify words on manuscripts. Later, and independently, the tailors and seamstresses of the Pennsylvania Harmonite Society discovered the uses of glass globes as lenses when these glass globes ...
384. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . 29-33 Inanna, the Venus-star further comments from Ev Cochrane: Although there is much I could take issue with in the recent Forum contribution by Moe Mandelkehr [1 ], I will direct my remarks to the question of the identification of Ishtar/Inanna with the planet Venus, as this cuts to the heart of the matter. Mandelkehr writes: "Clube and Napier explained that Inanna/Ishtar became associated with the planet Venus at a late date in history... Clube and Napier did not invent the idea, which is in the literature and appears to be well established" [2 ]. Here I would like to know which literature is he referring to. ...
385. Tornado. Ch.6 Dreams And Hallucinations (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... the psychological reactions to that experience by the residents of the city and by himself. Tornadoes often endanger that city and warning signals are given, and though he was absent when the tornado hit, it was the reactions of the inhabitants he observed to the warning signals that made the writer of the letter wonder. Over a year after first writing me he wrote again on the irrational psychological reaction, as it appeared to him, comparing it with his own excessive, but opposite, reaction to these signals. Since the correspondent had been, as he described, through analytical treatment, it was instructive to read even in his first letter the realisation that not infantile impressions and fears ...
386. Calibrated Radiocarbon and the 'Methodological Fault-Line' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... He was criticised by J. Weinstein [2 ] and B. J. Kemp [3 ] and withdrew his proposals [4 ] and the exercise was not repeated. But the problem for pre-historians remains: in the third millennium BC and earlier the application of calibrated radiocarbon dates causes horrible problems for chronology. Thus F. Hole, writing in 1987, summarised the 8000-6000 BP period in Mesopotamia and complained of a subsequent 1000 year dark age' created by the application of calibrated radiocarbon dates: "In view of the prevailing lack of sites ascribed to this phase, not to mention the lack of stratigraphic evidence for a substantial gap time [sic], we can hardly ...
387. Years Of Ten Months, Part 2 Mars Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... and the year between 360 and 365 ¼ days, the year must have been composed of only ten months. This was the case. According to many classical authors, in the days of Romulus the year consisted of ten months, and in the time of Numa, his successor, two months were added: January and February. Ovid writes: "When the founder of the city [Rome] was setting the calenda r in order, he ordained that there should be twice five months in his year. . . . He gave his laws to regulate the year. The month of Mars was the first, and that of Venus the second. . . . But ...
388. A Failed Excursion to the Caves of Aquitaine [Books] [de Grazia books]
... windows, I am just above the melee of the railroad station. A paradisiac room for an urban sociologist. I am content. I feel like working immediately. I clear the little mirrored table, pour out a glass of Glenfiddich's whisky, and begin to leaf through my folders, stopping at a point where it occurs to me to write down the kinds of questions I must be asking myself and others throughout the field trip through the country of the famous prehistoric caves. I copy them here. 1) Is superposition the same everywhere? 2) How clear are the separations of "cultures"? Nearly always very sharp and clear? Sometimes very sharp and clear? ...
389. My Challenge to Conventional Views in Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... did not set out to confront the existing views with a theory or hypothesis and to develop it into a competing system. My work is first a reconstruction, not a theory; it is built upon studying the human testimony as preserved in the heritage of all ancient civilizations- all of them in texts bequeathed beginning with the time man learned to write, tell in various forms the very same narrative that the trained eye of a psychoanalyst could not but recognize as so many variants of the same theme. In hymns, in prayers, in historical texts, in philosophical discourses, in records of astronomical observations, but also in legend and religious myth, the ancients desperately tried to convey ...
390. The Weakness of the Venus Greenhouse Theory [Journals] [Kronos]
... " New York Times (Feb. 8, 1974), p. 32: Cp. Popular Astronomy (Jan., 1976), pp. 22-26; Aviation Week & Space Technology (Nov. 3, 1975), p. 19. - The Ed.] V. I. Moroz of the Sternberg Astronomical Institute, writing in the Astronomichesky Journal, Vol. 40. says: "The monochromatic albedo curve contains no features characteristic of reflection from ice crystals. Evidently the clouds consist of neither ice nor water but of dust." Also: "The form of the monochromatic albedo curve in the 2-2.5 micron range contradicts the notion of a greenhouse ...
