Under Ancient Skies

Ancient Astronomy and Terrestrial Catastrophism

By: Paul Dunbavin

In all of the world’s myths and religions we find traditions of a Great Flood. There are stories too of a Golden Age: the antediluvian paradise that it destroyed. Might these be real memories of the ancient world? And how can we analyze the subject scientifically? The key to unlock these ancient myths lies in astronomy. Under Ancient Skies will examine the astronomical evidence for a prehistoric cataclysm and in the process will explore a number of related anomalies in prehistory, including: • Was there a single great flood in human prehistory, or have there been many? • Could the workings of ancient calendars and the records of ancient eclipses give us clues about the Flood and the antediluvian world? • Did the Celtic Druids use a calendar based on the orbit of Saturn; and is this the same antediluvian calendar that is described in Plato’s myth of Atlantis? • Do Hindu, Chinese and Mayan cosmology myths recall the years after the Flood when our world wobbled on its axis? • Did these same events trigger the building of astronomically aligned monuments such as Stonehenge and the pyramids? • Was the Atenist religion of the heretic Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten inspired by a series of eclipses during his lifetime? • Do the seven good years and the seven bad years of the Joseph story recall a time when a comet struck the Earth? • Did the British Druids use astronomy to calculate the size of the Earth; and could they have used this knowledge to navigate to America? • Why were the ancient Celts so afraid that the sky would one day fall on their heads? • Are comets and asteroids the only danger lurking in the cosmos – or could there be other dangers as yet unknown to science? In 1994 we watched as a comet struck the giant planet Jupiter. Geologists have recently discovered the crater in Yucatan, where an asteroid impact destroyed the world of the dinosaurs. Scientists and astronomers have stopped dismissing the theory that asteroids and comets could have struck the Earth during prehistory – but any suggestion that a comet impact just a few thousand years ago might have caused the Biblical Flood, remains the last taboo. It is time for this prejudice too, to be washed away. The reader is promised 'a real book: a fully referenced textbook with original content in every chapter and a bibliography of over 300 sources, If you have read Paul Dunbavin's other books then you will know what to expect. First published in 2005 and for a long time out of print, this new edition will make the author's unique research available again to anyone who is interested in mythology, astronomy and ancient mysteries. Now also available in Kindle hard and soft editions.

Atlantis of the West

A Drowned Neolithic Civilisation

By: Paul Dunbavin

In 1995 the author first published his theory that Plato’s Atlantis myth remembers the submergence of a Neolithic civilisation around the shores of the British Isles. He argues that this cataclysm resulted from a change in the Earth’s axis consequent upon a comet impact around 3100 BC The Middle-Neolithic period around 5,000 years ago was a time of dramatic climate and sea level changes all around the world. Welsh legends remember lost cities beneath the Irish Sea; and Irish myths recall an ‘otherworld’, a golden age when the eastern Irish Sea was a flowery plain inhabited by a golden-haired race of men. The author argues that Plato’s Atlantis is the same place that is remembered in these Celtic myths; and in Ancient Egyptian and Greek myths of an underworld known as the Elysian Fields. Bringing together modern scientific evidence and a pattern of ancient myths the author presents a multidisciplinary case for Atlantis as just one among many views of the submerged Neolithic civilisation of the Megalith Builders. Atlantis of the West is an updated second edition of The Atlantis Researches, with an appendix of further evidences and extended notes and extensive bibliography.

Picts and Ancient Britons

An Exploration of Pictish Origins

By: Paul Dunbavin

Few problems in British history have proved as intractable as that of the origin and ethnic associations of the Picts. For although we may find numerous references to them within Roman and Celtic sources they have left us no historical texts of their own. So often we find the early Picts mentioned within histories of Roman Britain as mere opponents of Roman arms -- but who these tattooed barbarians were remains a mystery. First published in hardback 1998 now also available in Kindle hard and soft editions Modern opinion holds that the Picts were Celts, like the Scots and Welsh. This book seeks to demonstrate the scarcity of evidence for this common assumption and follows instead the evidence of native tradition. In a stimulating new study the author offers a view of the Picts that is certainly not the current text book standard. It concentrates on the very oldest traditions of Pictish origins, which together with early historical sources, would suggest that the Picts were not Celts at all, but ‘Scythians’. It will put an alternative case that the Picts were Finno-Ugrian immigrants from the Baltic coast. The author provides an investigation which subjects the traditions of Pictish origin to thorough scrutiny and by offering a viewpoint that does not commence from a Celtic bias, thereby offers some new ideas on a much neglected subject.

Towers of Atlantis

Evidence Not Fantasy

By: Paul Dunbavin

Towers of Atlantis: Evidence not Fantasy. Disregard all the fantasies you may have heard about Atlantis and other catastrophes in the ancient world. The real evidence is every bit as fascinating! Here, author & researcher Paul Dunbavin updates his theories, first proposed 25 years ago in his book Atlantis of the West; that the legend remembers the Megalithic civilization of Western Europe and was centered upon Britain and Ireland.Citing sources that anyone can check for themselves, he establishes a multi-disciplinary pattern of evidence showing when, how and where an ancient submergence most likely occurred; and that Plato's narratives are just one among many ancient and modern sources that point to a similar conclusion. For too long, academic specialists have hidden behind the safe conclusion that Plato's myth is a memory of the Mediterranean eruption of the Thera volcano. For too long, unscrupulous authors and their publishers have been able to put out books and television series with fantastic theories that selectively neglect some vital part of the evidence; and in the end you are no wiser. 'Towers of Atlantis' is different. It seeks to follow where the real evidence points us. Further detailed information on www.third-millennium.co.uk

Prehistory Papers

Cross-Disciplinary Studies Into Our Past

By: Paul Dunbavin

This book provides a permanent repository for the various articles or papers originally published on the author's website; together with some older articles; they expand upon the cross-disciplinary research in the author's earlier booksIt is in the nature of cross-disciplinary research that it may fail to find a home in a specialist academic journal; perhaps because it would stray outside their normal subject matter, but more likely, because it may cite evidence that a specialist referee fails to see the relevance. Such broader enquiry may also challenge long-accepted theories or lead to novel conclusions.The articles cover various subject areas to shine a new light on events in the recent human past, including, but not limited-to: astronomy, geophysics, geology, archaeology, mythology, folklore, calendars, climate history, sea-level changes, ancient history, DNA, linguistics and others. There are no constraints on where useful evidence about the past may lie, to fill the cracks between the academic disciplines. There is not even a suitable classification to describe a book such as this one !The primary focus of the author is to examine prehistory, mythology and legends. Often within legends and the fragments left by ancient historians, we may find details that are not strictly needed, or which contain precise numbers and descriptions where such would not be necessary to give background for a fiction. These are the 'mythological fossils' that can be taken-out and separately analysed with the latest science. The articles themselves are presented in their original form in a 'top-down' sequence, with those of mainly astronomical and geophysical content coming before earth-based subjects such as climate, sea-level and archaeology, moving on to human prehistory. All the articles propose original conclusions and hopefully will serve to stimulate specialists to look at the evidence from a different angle.

Paul Robeson For Beginners

By: Von Blum, Paul

Paul Robeson, despite being one of the greatest Renaissance figures in American history, still remains in relative anonymity. An exceptional scholar, lawyer, athlete, stage and screen actor, linguist, singer, civil rights and political activist, he performed brilliantly in every professional enterprise he undertook. Any serious treatment of civil rights history and radical politics as well as American sports, musical, theatrical, and film history must consider the enormous contributions of Paul Robeson. And yet, Paul Robeson remains virtually unknown by millions of educated Americans. People typically know him for only one, if any, of the major successes of his life: the concert singer best known for “Old Man River,” the star of Shakespeare’s Othello on Broadway in the early 1940s, the political activist blacklisted for his radical views and activism during the era of McCarthyism in the 1950s. Paul Robeson For Beginners demystifies and bestows light and long overdue credence to the life of this extraordinary American.

The Paul Goodman Reader

The Paul Goodman Reader

By: Paul Goodman

A one-man think tank, Paul Goodman wrote more than 30 books, most of them before his decade of fame as a social critic in the 1960s. Goodman in those earlier days thought of himself mostly as an old-fashioned man of letters, and to do justice to his wide-ranging interests and growing activism, this compendium provides excerpts that span his entire career, from the bestselling Growing Up Absurd to landmark books on anarchism, community planning, education, poetics, and psychotherapy. Goodman's fiction and poetry are represented by The Empire City, a comic novel; prize-winning short stories; and poems that once led America's most respected poetry reviewer, Hayden Carruth, to exclaim, "Not one dull page. It's almost unbelievable.
