BC

Edenic culture of
17,400 Sagittarius ends, Scorpio begins.
Beginning of Tletonatinh Age of
15250 Scorpio ends, Libra begins.
14500 Fall of Mene the
13100 Libra ends, Virgo begins. Maximum intensity of the Ice Age
finishes. Tachelithic Interglaciel begins in

11542 Beginning of Egyptian and Assyrian calendars.

century)
10000 Giant Sloths living in Texas (Carbon 14 dating)
Volcanic Eruptions in N. Atlantic and Mediterranean.
Warm Atlantic streams in Arctic
Peat on the bottom of Lake Michigan
Niagara Falls formed
eventually reaching the Andes.
Allerod Climatic oscillation in Ireland (C14)
Aachen Climatic Oscillation.
9050 Gulf Stream changes direction (Ionium Disintergration)
(4010 years) astronomical Observations begun in Central Asia.
Beginning of Altonatinh Age in Mexico, (4008 years). This cycle was
one of water and flood, its beginning may have coincided with the Caribbean
valleys being flooded when the sea finally
broke through the earth walls between the islands.
Presented by Sykes in Aug. 1965 Vol.18 No.4 of the Atlantis Research
Journal.
Webmasters note- You can see under the date of 3,961 a very prophetic
statement by E. Sykes that a part of the Gulf stream and Caribbean broke up and
this may explain a crucial date when that Cuba pyramid and monuments were
destroyed, which if that is the case then the pyramid is older then 4,000 B.C.
which right in line with my theory that it is not older then 6,000 B.C.
monuments in Cuba. This is Ironic how close Sykes got it right on in the light
of the western Cuba find ,absolutely amazing!!!!!
The Islands Visited By Sinbad the
Sailor, By E. Sykes
An endeavor is in habd to identify the islands visited by Sinbad the
Sailor in the course of his voyages.
The problem is complicated by the fact that the text of Sinbad as we
now know it was put together about 1300 A.D., while the sources from which it
was drawn stretch back to Egyptian Antiquity (The story of the Shipwrecked
Sailor, etc. ), to the Classical period (Homer and others), as also to the
Celtic Travelers (Maeldune, O’Corra, Braden, etc.).
The Arabian Nights represent the sum total of fairy and magical lore,
plus the various travelers tales. They have nothing to do with Islam, except
that this furnishes a framework, plus the various items of erotica.
Our task is to see how many of the placers visited by Sinbad are
actually in the Indian and Chinese seas, as also whether any of the more
striking early centers such as Ponape or Yap are actually mentioned. If any of
our readers have ideas on the matter I should be most grateful if they would
get into touch with me. E.S. (as you know E.Sykes passed away in 1983 so you
can pass info. along to this webmaster at runnymeade@aol.com)
Two Myths of the Greek Islands, Egerton
Sykes
The Island of Santorin, the destruction of which by a volcanic
erruption in B.C. 1450 or 1,400 destroyed the Minoan Civilization, formed the
subject of an interesting myth, told in the Argonautica. It appears that
Euphemus, one of the heroes of the Argo, received from his brother Triton a
clod of earth. He was instructed to throw this clod into one of the chasms of
Taenaron, but by accident it fell into the sea while the Argo was passing
Calliste (Kalleste), also known as Therea, and it grew into an island from
which came the people who colonized Libya. The present name of Calliste is
Santorin, and it may be taken from the story that it was originally an undersea
volcano, which erupted and created a large island, which was peopled by
Euphemos and his kindred. This would indicate that this story of the creation
of Santorin preceded by some considerable time the arrival of the Greeks in the
Mediterranean and, as it is a part of the story of the Argonauts, it would also
put their journey back by a long period. I wonder if Professor Galenpoulos
has by chance obtained the datings for the arrival of the people who lived on
santorin before it blew up?
The sources of this story are in Pindar, Apollonius Rhodius, The
Orphic Argonuat, Diodorus and Herodotus. There are possibly several others. At
some early period a large meteor or a small asteroid was reported to have
fallen on the island of Delos. The story goes that Asteria, daughter of Coeus
the Titan and Phoebe, in order to escape the embraces of Zeus changed herself
into a quail and plunged into the sea becoming the island of Asteria/Ortygia,
which later became Delos. This may well have been a portion of a comet, a real
asteroid, or even a chunk of the moon. Oddly enough a similar story is told of
Leto, sister of Asteria, who sought refuge from Zeus in Ortygia, then a
floating island, and there gave birth to Artemis and Apollo. It may be taken
that Asteria and Leto are one and the same, but one wonders whether any
geological investigation have been made at Delos to find an explanation for the
twin legends. E.S.
1965 here ends, and E. Sykes in 1966 visits North America and the
A.R.E. Cayce site.
In light of the Cuba find I have decided to include an article by
called
The Caribbean, E. Sykes 1966 begins go to that year on
