This issue of Brevcirkeln presents a collection of articles exploring unconventional theories about ancient history, cosmology, and the nature of the Sun, drawing from various authors and their works.

Article: The Sphinx Dates the Great Pyramid

The first article discusses H. Kjellson's hypothesis from his book 'Forntidens Teknik' (Ancient Technology). Kjellson questions whether the Sphinx serves as a dating marker for the Great Pyramid. The Sphinx, a colossal statue carved from the bedrock it rests on, measures 60 meters long and 20 meters high. Astronomically, it's suggested to be a combination of two zodiacal constellations: the lion forming the body and the head of Virgo forming the head. Kjellson posits that the Earth was on the dividing line between the Leo and Virgo constellations approximately 12,200 years ago. The article also mentions traditions suggesting the pyramids were built as shelters against an anticipated great flood.

Article: The Cosmic Catastrophe and the Great Flood

N.O. Bergqvist's work, 'The Moon Puzzle,' is highlighted for its convincing description of a cosmic catastrophe that allegedly caused the Great Flood and gave Earth its moon. James Churchward's 1930 book, 'The Children of Mu,' is also referenced. Churchward describes how a massive, northward-moving tidal wave swept away a large culture in East Asia, pushing mammoths from fertile plains to northern Siberia, where they were later found frozen. This flood is said to have pushed the ice masses of the Arctic Ocean over Scandinavia and North America, blocking the Gulf Stream and initiating the last Ice Age. According to Churchward's findings from contemporary clay and stone tablets, this catastrophe occurred about 12,000 years ago. Further supporting this timeline, carbon-14 dating in America has dated forests, felled by ice masses, to approximately 12,000 years ago. The article concludes that these three sources—the Sphinx, ancient texts, and carbon-14 dating—converge on this timeframe.

The 'Golden Age People' are described as having experienced the greatest catastrophe in Earth's history, which radically altered human conditions. Their culture, which flourished for about 200,000 years before the flood, possessed advanced knowledge. Writings from 70,000 years ago reportedly show an understanding of the relationship between matter and energy, predating Einstein, and a clear grasp of the endocrine system and psychosomatic effects on human physical reactions, far surpassing contemporary medical science.

Article: The Composition of the Sun and Stars

This section, translated and commented on by Ivan Troëng, presents C.F. Krafft's theories about the Sun and stars, contrasting them with mainstream scientific views. Current science posits that the Sun and stars are hot gas spheres with internal temperatures in the millions of degrees. Krafft argues that a simple calculation based on gas laws suggests that a celestial body similar to the Sun with a density comparable to seawater would explode if heated to millions of degrees internally. He asserts that the Sun is a normal star and its circular, sharp contour contradicts the idea of it being a gaseous cloud. The Sun's periphery is compared to a horizon of seawater, suggesting its density is slightly higher than seawater, implying it primarily consists of water with a solid core.

Krafft further challenges the notion that sunspots are dark areas. He argues that if the Sun's heat came from its interior, sunspots would be intensely luminous, not dark. Numerous photographs, he claims, show sunspots as openings in the luminous surface, revealing a darker interior. He disputes the accepted scientific explanation of 50 million degrees Celsius in the Sun's core, finding it unbelievable. He also dismisses the idea that sunspots are caused by internal explosions, as this would result in mushroom-cloud-like formations.

Instead, Krafft proposes that the Sun's heat is generated by its outer atmosphere being bombarded by cosmic rays, which are subatomic particles attracted by the Sun's gravity. He draws a parallel to Earth's upper atmosphere, where cosmic ray intensity and temperature are significantly higher than at the surface. Using solar gravity, he calculates a surface temperature of 6000 degrees Celsius for the Sun's atmosphere without resorting to extreme internal temperature assumptions.

Counterarguments and Krafft's Response

The article addresses a common objection: that heating the Sun's outer atmosphere would necessarily heat its interior. Krafft acknowledges heat transfer through radiation, conduction, and convection. He argues that convection, in a gravitational field, drives hot masses upward and cold masses downward. He assumes convection's effect is greater than radiation and conduction combined. Therefore, a large celestial body with sufficient water would act as an automatic cooling system, keeping its interior cool despite surface heat generation. While some surface water might evaporate or split into oxygen and hydrogen, the process would reach an equilibrium, resulting in enormous surface vortices but not affecting the Sun's interior.

The cosmic rays, attracted by solar gravity, are primarily composed of protons, electrons, and neutrons. Krafft suggests these particles might be formed by energy vortices created in the interstellar ether through friction from light and heat waves, forming a cyclical process. Energy emitted by the Sun and stars as light and heat radiation returns as particles in cosmic rays, and any matter destroyed in this process is recycled from interstellar space.

Comment by Ivan Troëng

Ivan Troëng comments on Krafft's theory, finding it more plausible than current scientific explanations. He notes that if Earth's outer atmosphere has a temperature of 200°C and cosmic ray radiation behaves proportionally to gravity, multiplying this by the Sun's gravity (30 times Earth's) yields a solar surface temperature of 6000°C (30 x 200 = 6000). Troëng plans to discuss Krafft's atomic model in a future letter, which he believes resolves many contradictions and offers a simple, self-evident solution.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently promotes alternative or fringe scientific and historical theories, challenging established scientific consensus. The articles present speculative ideas about ancient civilizations, cataclysmic events, and the Sun's nature, often citing older or less mainstream authors. The editorial stance appears to favor critical examination of accepted scientific paradigms and exploration of ancient mysteries, encouraging readers to consider these alternative viewpoints. The use of translations and commentaries by Ivan Troëng suggests an effort to disseminate these ideas within a Swedish-speaking audience.
