... is our current spectral range so limited? I am not even touching on the question of temperature, and how in the absence of solar heating one variant of ape should have benefited by shedding its fur and developed under such circumstances to such a level of sophistication that it was capable of passing on oral traditions about a changed heaven. I write this in the hope that other members are asking similar questions, since in the beginning' is where the Saturn theory looks to be most vulnerable. Paul Standring, Bolton Comalcalco and Olmec Heads Bob Porter [1 ] disagrees with my findings [2 ] that the Old World markings on the Comalcalco bricks were transmitted from Southeast Asia via ...
472. Past, Present, and Future [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of Sumer and Akkad, of Ninevah, of Memphis and Thebes in Egypt, of Syria, of Athens, of the Celtic Druids at Alesia, of China, of Rome (even Rome, 83 B.C .) , Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Tezcuco (Mexico) were burned, unique treasures were lost forever. The ancient writings that survive to this day can be carried on the shelves of a large bookcase. Almost all of the lost works that dealt with astronomy, geology, anthropology, and the history of religions must have treated of catastrophes and possessed a catastrophic viewpoint. I venture this from the fact that the great majority of the works that remain can ...
473. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1997:2 (Apr 1998) Home | Issue Contents Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology Yet Another Inscription From Israel!This one is an ostracon (potsherd with writing in ink) which has turned up in the hands of an antiquities dealer. Its origin is unknown but it appears to be from Jerusalem and to be a receipt for a gift to the temple from a Hebrew king who is actually named. The writing is well preserved and easy to read, and neither scientific tests nor palaeographic inspection have found anything to suggest it is a forgery. It reads (translation from Biblical Archaeology Review Nov./Dec. 1997 pp ...

... of years prior to that ocean water becoming warm. Unlike Mewhinney, Kerr understood that this would be impossible and admitted the astronomical theory would have to be dumped. Mewhinney should tell Kerr he doesn't know what he is talking about. K.R . Ludwig, et al., of the U.S . Geological Survey in Colorado writing in Nature in a letter in response to N.J . Shakleton, also haven't gotten Mewhinney's message wherein they write: "The Devils Hole dates... remain a challenge to the Milankovitch hypothesis"73 Mewhinney knows this is all untrue, and that Devils Hole is not a challenge to Milankovitch. Perhaps he will show Ludwig ...
475. Trisms and Planetary Iconography [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... from the 16th century. The goddess Hope wears a headdress of trismatic reeds. While still retaining their more traditional forebears, allegories such as Love, Hope and Charity became important gods or goddesses of the Renaissance. Figure 6, is my sketch of the Mayan goddess of corn from the Dresden Codex or Codex Dresdensis, a pre-Columbian Maya hieroglyphic writing which illustrates well how the trism form proliferates in certain works of art. Both the ear of corn that the goddess holds and the flame-like apparition on her nose are trismatic. Figure 7, is my depiction of a trismatic Egyptian lotus as it is being offered to the lion-headed goddess, Sekhmet. The lotus serves as a frequent prop ...

... , who received and interpreted countless mythical traditions of nations throughout the Mediterranean and beyond, often drawing on literary sources that were later lost and are now unavailable to us. According to the Greek poet Hesiod, the present age is but a shadow of a former epoch- called the Golden Age of Kronos. "First of all," Hesiod writes, "the deathless gods who dwell on Olympus made a golden race of mortal men who lived in the time of Kronos, when he was reigning in heaven. And they lived like gods without sorrow of heart, remote and free from toil and grief: Miserable age rested not on them. . . The fruitful earth unforced bare ...
477. Quantitative Aspects Of Ancient Cosmology [Journals] [Kronos]
... , I attach no importance to whether or not Herodotus knew the facts we have given about the Khufu Pyramid. In fact, Herodotus did not say that the vertical height of Khufu's Pyramid is equal to the square root of the area of a triangular side. Gillings(12) claims that he cannot even find the relevant quotation in the writings of Herodotus; and he also pretends not to understand the statement of Professor Turnbull (13) that the ratio of a circle's radius to the chord of an inscribed decagon is equal to PHI. By these remarks, he would wish to imply that there is no such statement in Herodotus, and that Professor Turnbull cannot use high school ...

479. Dr C. J. Ransom: Velikovsky Supported by Establishment [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol 1 No 3 (Summer 1976) Home | Issue Contents Writing on the Velikovsky controversy in the August 1963 issue of HARPER'S magazine, Eric Larrabee noted: There is scarcely one of Velikovsky's central ideas - as long as it was taken separately and devoid of its implications - which has not since been propounded in all seriousness by a scientist of repute." If this was true in 1963, it can be no less true today. REVIEW EXTRA Dr C. J. Ransom: Velikovsky Supported by Establishment For those who missed its earlier publication, we are reprinting below, with permission, Dr Ransom's list of scientific claims supporting - but not acknowledging ...
480. The Garden, the Fall and the Restoration [Articles]
... law of god is established in god. Such a one who is self-controlled, in union with god, enjoys undying bliss. The wise who have united their intelligence with the divine renouncing the fruits which their action yields, reach the supreme state." What I would like to submit is that in the consciousness of the one who was writing these words, the word God or Brahma, was a designation of this natural inner compulsion of being, being itself. We find this confirmed in another upsurge of remembrance of the primitive state where Moses goes up to the top of the mountain and the Lord reveals his name to him: (Exodus 3, 13 ff.) ...
