512. The Cosmic Origins Of Arthur (Book review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Garden of Eden, the Ark of the Covenant, the Treasures of Solomon, sacred mountains etc., including, of course, the places associated with Arthur's birth, castle of residence and various glorious battles. Neither of our authors has any doubt that Arthur is largely a mythological figure, dressed and accoutred by those who first tried to write of him as an historical character, so for any reader hoping for a final revelation of a human Arthurian reality these books are not for you. Even less are they for those hoping to indulge in anything remotely mystical such as arise from the Christianised trappings of the search for the Holy Grail. The Grail itself is shown by both ...
513. Acknowledgments [Books]
... rather clumsily, the Theory of Impact. His unshakable faith, his solid common sense and his calm lucidity were precious tonics at times of doubt and waning courage. To Dr I. W. Cornwall I owe an equally great debt. Without his support this book would never have come into being. Not only did he encourage me to write it, but, with unfailing generosity and patience, he tailored' my imperfect English to make it comprehensible to English readers. With him must be associated Dr Edward Pyddoke, whose inquisitive criticism drew my attention to many special aspects of the different problems involved in the work. My gratitude also goes to Dr D. Belorisky, specialist ...
514. Night of the Gods: The Pillar-Axis as Tower [Books]
... position in his eyes of the Druid. Irish Druidism absorbed a certain amount of Christianity; and it would be a problem of considerable difficulty to fix on the point where it ceased to be Druidism, and from which onwards it could be said to be Christianity in any restricted sense of that term. "The gods or heroes, ' writes M. J. Loth, "who were not too much compromised in the pagan Olympus, or whom it would have been hopeless or dangerous to blacken in the minds of the Christianized Breton populations, were generally converted and in Wales passed over to the ranks of the Saints. The list of them is thus, too, interminable ...
515. A PERSONAL MEMOIR [Journals] [Aeon]
... so far as to rest his case on this advanced claim. So unexpected was the news in the Times that Einstein asked Velikovsky how he could be of assistance. Velikovsky, no doubt, surprised him by asking that he use his influence to have radiocarbon tests done on some Egyptian objects of antiquity. Thus it was that Einstein agreed to write a letter requesting the aforementioned test. When I again wrote the museum I sent a copy of the letter Velikovsky had provided me. I then received a lengthy reply explaining that they had indeed received that letter but their certainty of accepted Egyptian dating did not warrant the expense of such tests. Nothing more was forthcoming at the time. ...
516. 'No Impact': René Gallant (1906-1985) [Books]
... Gallant then discussed the reactions of the Earth's crust to meteorite impact. From his demonstration of the widespread evidence for such impact structures on Earth, Gallant now advocated that must have had some biological and geological consequences'. One of these was to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. Here Gallant quoted H. Linger, a Swiss palaeontologist writing in 1961, in his support. Finally Gallant wrote that the survivors of such events would not be the fittest' merely the luckiest' [66] . This was an obvious allusion to his life in Dachau. Gallant also accepted Continental Drift but Velikovsky's theories, he thought, had only "limited value" [67] . ...
517. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 4 No 2 (Sep 1981) Home | Issue Contents Monitor Life on Uninhabitable Islands source: AMERICAN JOURNAL OF ARCHAEOLOGY vol 85:2 , April 1981, p. 195 This is a piece of writing by T. E. Gregory of Ohio State University on waterless (and therefore uninhabitable) islands off the coast of southern Greece. Pottery has been found there, and excavations have revealed that they were inhabited for at least four centuries. These islands were not merely places of refuge but ". .. are generally more comprehensible as part of a complex of coastal settlements which appear to have flourished in Greece in late antiquity". Jane ...
518. "Limited Fusion" and "Anode-Stars" [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , with Earth as one of its satellites, was the invading star to a Sun-Jupiter binary. Juergens saw no conflict between this theory and his electromagnetic model, and neither do I. In the same article, Juergens discussed Saturn as an electrically-fuelled star within the context of his electromagnetic theory.(2 ) In the 3 ˝ years since writing my "Father of the Gods" draft, I have come to accept Juergens' model of Saturn (with Earth as its satellite) rather than Jupiter as the invading star. Dwardu Cardona(3 ) has published mythological evidence - to my mind conclusive - that Earth orbited a Saturn primary, remembered as the golden Cosmic Egg of ...
519. Early Historic Man - Catastrophism and Calendars [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... - as you know, this needs the intervention of higher mathematics! So in one direction they were unable to measure the exact length of the year and on the other hand they were more acquainted than many people nowadays with higher mathematics and astronomy. So man, in my opinion, could perfectly in prehistoric times even when there was no writing, and in historic times when writing begins - he was perfectly able to measure the exact length of the solar year. How could that be, though? There are many ways of doing it. The ways we have to look for are simple ways, almost natural ways which do not involve mathematical knowledge, because at that time ...
520. Settled Sky and Unsettled Mind [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of humans about them. Homer and other dramatists might also have agreed to a convention not to portray the gods in this manner. On the subconscious level, Homer may have written of the gods in such a way as to display their natural histories, even knowing of their history in some part and consciously, without realizing that he was writing the history of the gods. He could describe Ares as Ares, actually appreciating that he was doing so, protesting (as writers accused of libel or of autobiography sometimes do), "I am only writing fiction," and furthermore they will believe it and so will their hearers. This is no more than happens with children ...
