... From: Aeon II:2 (1990) Home | Issue Contents The 108-year Cyclicism of the Ancient Catastrophes Donald Patten Introduction After having read with care the Old Testament and Velikovsky's first and greatest work, Worlds in Collision,(1 ) a certain amount of knowledge of ancient Near Eastern history became imprinted in my mind. In addition, I had achieved a degree in geography from a major university, and that geographical viewpoint influenced every observation, every question, every conclusion. Additional works on catastrophism also read previous to Velikovsky's were Alfred Rehwinkel's The Flood(2 ) and Byron Nelson's The Deluge Story in Stone(3 ). Having read the works of Nelson and Rehwinkel ...
2. The Periodic Cyclicism Of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... CONTENTS From: The Velikovskian Vol. V, No. 1 THE PERIODIC CYCLICISM OF ANCIENT CATASTROPHES By Donald W. Patten THE PERIODIC CYCLES OF ANCIENT PLANETARY CATASTROPHISM "Berossus, interpreter of Belus, affirms that the whole issue is brought about by the course of the planets. So positive is he on the point that he assigns a definite date both for the Conflagration and the Deluge. All that the Earth inherits will, he assures us, be consigned to flame when the planets WHICH NOW MOVE IN DIFFERENT ORBITS, all assemble in Cancer, so arranged in one row that a straight line may pass through their spheres. When the same gathering takes place in Capricorn, ...
3. Forum Part Two [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1994 (Vol XVI) (Oct 1995) Home | Issue Contents Forum Part Two Was the Cambridge Conference a Flop?( Evidence for multiple catastrophes in historical times) the challenge, set by Benny J. Peiser "But the derivative from an impact will give you many local causes which are detectable. The trouble has been that individual workers at individual sites in the world are getting different answers all over the place, and therefore they doubt the reality of a sudden event. Whereas in fact, the only way you can demonstrate a sudden event is by applying Occam's razor to a large number of independent sections where the events are ...
4. Catastrophism and Anthropology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review (1994) "Proceedings of the 1993 Cambridge Conference" Home | Issue Contents Catastrophism and Anthropology The Influence of Neo-Catastrophism on the Interpretation of Flood Rituals and Ceremonies Benny Josef Peiser School of Human Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University Introduction Only 150 years ago, most of Europe's leading scholars were convinced that the ancient flood traditions and festivals originated from natural catastrophes that had occurred during man's early history. Both historians and anthropologists were able to point to a rich variety of catastrophe legends found throughout the world. For more than 2500 years these ancient traditions were generally viewed as historical. Not only did all the famous scholars of antiquity write about these ...
... the Velikovsky Affair has to keep occurring. Lastly I will argue that its origins can be traced back to the very beginnings of rationalism in classical Greece. With these essential backgrounds established, I will then be ready to look at the Affair in its most recent phases, from the 60's to the 90's, and to describe the state of catastrophism today. The subject, as you will see, deserves a book. I will try to do it justice in a chapter. ONE: THE 1950'S There can, of course, be many possible reasons for the original Affair, concurrent or separate, and we will explore a number of them. First, perhaps, is the ...
6. A Catastrophic Calendar [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: Chaos and Creation, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER FOUR A Catastrophic Calendar If nature and human nature were catastrophized by events of the past 14,000 years, a calendar of the events becomes a practical necessity. Hence we conjecture that from an original primeval chaos to the world of A.D . 2,000, the human race and its natural environment passed through eight phases. They are posted on the adjoining chart, Figure 7. The set of cases is too small for statistical treatment, but, for heuristic purposes, the typical phase may be said to have begun in general natural destruction, passed through a period of recovery ...

8. The Science of Catastrophism [Articles]
... The Science of Catastrophism Prof. Irving Wolfe We are here this weekend to assess the current state of catastrophist research. My purpose tonight will be to define what is meant by catastrophism. In its most general sense, catastrophism is the theory that enormous cataclysmic events of continental or even global nature have occurred to the Earth in the recent past, which is to say within the life of humankind on this planet. It also holds that these catastrophes, these vast natural upheavals, (e .g ., immense tidal waves and hurricanes, large-scale volcanism and conflagrations, etc.), have left indelible records on the Earth and in our psyches, records that can be ...
9. Cosmic Catastrophes and the Ballgame of the Sky Gods in Mesoamerican Mythology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1995 (Vol XVII) "Proceedings of the SIS 1995 Braziers College Conference" Home | Issue Contents Cosmic Catastrophes and the Ballgame of the Sky Gods in Mesoamerican Mythology Benny Josef Peiser The ballgame is directly related to the continuous cycle and conflict between Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca, [. .. ] and worldly creation and destruction. ' [1 ] The ritual ballgame was itself a reenactment of the celestial ball-game, played at a time of world-destruction, in which the sun and moon defeated the lords of hell. ' [2 ] Introduction Ever since the Berlin School of Anthropology (Konrad Theodor Preuss, Eduard Seler and Walter Krickeberg) tried ...
10. The Cyclic Nature of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Proceedings of the First Seminar of Catastrophism and Ancient History (1983) Home | Issue Contents The Cyclic Nature of Ancient Catastrophes Donald W. Patten Introduction Join me in imagining the following scene. In a rural setting a car is being driven by a robot across a not-very-busy railroad crossing. The robot neither hears nor sees nor understands oncoming trains. Most of the time the robot-driven car would make a successful and uneventful crossing. On a few occasions, nevertheless, something comes along. That "something" might be a freight train; it might be the occasional passenger train. On such an occasion we have the makings of a catastrophe. If robots were to ...
