Velikovsky Ancient Catastrophes. Laird Scranton joins Dr. Rita Louise on Just Energy Radio where they discuss the controversial work of Immanuel Velikovsky and his book Worlds In Collision.

Laird Scranton is the author of "The Science of the Dogon: Decoding the African Mystery Tradition" and "Sacred Symbols of the Dogon: The Key to Advanced Science in the Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs". He's got a new book coming out in October called" The Cosmological Origins of Myth and Symbol: From the Dogon and Ancient Egypt to India, Tibet, and China". Laird has done extensive research on the intriguing Dogon people of North West Africa, their symbols, myths and mysterious origins of their knowledge. Topics Discussed: Dogon, Mali, Religious Tradition, Beta Israel, Ethiopian Jews, Comparative Cosmology, Written Language, Signature of the Parent Tradition, 15-20 Sub Languages, Ama, Amen, Serpent, Walter Van Beek, Symbolism of the Stupa, Sirius, Sbat, Cosmology of the Dogon, Binary Star System, Freemasonic Symbols, Astrological Symbols, Buddhism, Zep Tepi, Göbleki Tepe, Hebrew and Egyptian Hieroglyphs. Don't miss our second hour with Laird Scranton for more about the Dogon People, their Scientific Knowledge, the Cosmological Plan of the Teachers, Symbols and Myth. We discuss Genetic Engineering of seeds and Humans, what ancient cultures say about Prophecy, Catastrophe, and the Return of these "Teachers". What is the relationship to the Myths about the Fish, Jesus, the "Mer-people" or fish people and the symbolism of the Dog, Sirius the Dog Star? We also go into the Symbolism of the Crop Circles, languages that are Vowels, Gematria and more about "The Cosmological Origins of Myth and Symbol".

Laird Scranton at CPAK 2008. The Dogon, an outwardly primitive African tribe from modern-day Mali, preserve a detailed cosmology in ancient form, cast in the themes, symbols and storylines of the classic world mythologies, and couched in the clearest of modern terms, yet expressed using ancient Egyptian words. The cosmology is founded on an aligned ritual shrine that takes the same form and evokes the same symbolism as a Buddhist stupa, and culminates in a religious tradition that expresses itself through many of the signature rituals of Judaism, such as the wearing of skull caps and prayer shawls, the practice of circumcision, and the celebration of a Jubilee year.  This presentation is an introduction to a pivotal culture that appears to stand at the very crossroads of ancient knowledge.

Laird Scranton at CPAK 2007. Many of the glyph shapes used to write ancient Egyptian words are also defined in Dogon and Buddhist cosmology. This presentation announces an alternate method of interpreting Egyptian hieroglyphic words based on explicit Dogon and Buddhist definitions. From the perspective of this alternate approach, Egyptian cosmological words are seen to symbolically define both their own meanings and those of individual Egyptian glyph shapes. These symbolic interpretations produce clear, scientific definitions for concepts of astrophysics such as light, time, gravity, and acceleration, that are often worthy of Einstein himself.
