52. O-Kee-Pa: Catastrophe Myths and Rituals of the North American Mandan Indians [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1997:2 (Apr 1998) Home | Issue Contents O-Kee-Pa: Catastrophe Myths and Rituals of the North American Mandan Indians by Benny Josef Peiser Synopsis This paper deals with the O-Kee-Pa, a peculiar catastrophe ceremony among the Mandan Indians, a once famous tribe of North America. Some researchers have tried to decipher ancient mythology in relation to past natural catastrophes. This methodology is applied here to human rituals, since they may convey important information about the violent past of natural and human history. Introduction When the Europeans discovered the New World, they found that the native Indians had their own flood legends. Many Christian scholars and missionaries regarded this ...
53. Sagan's fourth problem: Terrestrial Geology And Lunar Craters (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... Terrestrial Geology And Lunar Craters Earth in upheaval Sagan deals here with the question of whether geology, archaeology, and craters observed on the Moon can substantiate Velikovsky's hypothesis. As shown earlier, Velikovsky wrote a book on these aspects of his theory. Macbeth tells us, "Velikovsky's opponents pointed out that he was talking about events that qualified as catastrophes, transcending anything that is now going on in scale and violence. They declared that this put Velikovsky out of court because the uniformitarian doctrine provided no room for such events. Velikovsky, who .. .was rather innocent as to Anglo Saxon geological theory, was surprised at this reaction and at the violent feelings he had aroused. ...
54. A Maya Record of Two Thousand Years? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History VIII:2 (July 1986) Home | Issue Contents A Maya Record of Two Thousand Years?Nancy K. Owen The Dresden Codex is the best preserved of the four Maya manuscript books. Most of its seventy-four pages are crowded with a mixture of pictures, explanatory glyphs, and groups of numbers. Considered collectively, pages 70-74 are exceptional in that there is only one picture- a large one taking up most of the last page. It presents many elements associated with the weather and its extremes- flood, drought, hurricane, etc. The explanatory glyphs are written just above three lines of numbers which make up two long series ...

... From: Recollections of a Fallen Sky, Edited by Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents Shakespeare and Velikovsky: Catastrophic Theory and the Springs of Art Irving Wolfe Etudes Anglaises Université de Montreal *[ Ed.] Parts of this paper were subsequently published in Kronos: A journal of Interdisciplinary Synthesis, (Kronos Press, Glassboro, N.J .) see 1(3 ): 31-45 (Fall 1975) and 1(4 ): 37-54 (Winter 1976). I must begin with several caveats. First, I do not present these findings as a closed and substantiated set of hypotheses. They are suggestions put forth for discussion, not conclusions, but ...
56. The Catastrophic Substructure of the Samson & Delilah Myth [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop No. 2 (July 1978) Home | Issue Contents The Catastrophic Substructure of the Samson & Delilah Myth Derek P. Shelley-Pearce READERS of Kronos' will be familiar with the first part of the heading of this article which has been borrowed from Irving Wolfe. It seemed so appropriate that it is hoped the writer will be forgiven. There seems little doubt that Hebrew mythology' as contained in the Bible is a later monotheised version of earlier pagan mythologies culled from such sources as ancient Greece, Mesopotamia, Persia and Egypt. We are indebted to Robert Graves and Raphael Patai among others for disclosing the vestiges of these earlier mythologies in their book Hebrew Myths ...
57. The Science of Catastrophic Events [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2000:2 (Dec 2000) Home | Issue Contents The Science of Catastrophic Events www.greenwood.com/praeger.htm Catastrophes are part of Earth's real history. Its grim disasters, acting as a backdrop against which human dramas have been played out, have been recorded in many ancient writings. As Milne shows, doomsday catastrophism, once the prerogative of 18th-century geologists steeped in the Biblical memory of the Great Flood, has now regained respectability. Catastrophism applies to many disciplines such as planetary science, biology, climatology, and evolutionary theory. The universe itself, we now believe, is a product of a giant cosmic catastrophe. Indeed ...
58. Response to Critique by Leroy Ellenberger [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History XII:1 (Jan 1990) Home | Issue Contents Response to Critique by Leroy Ellenberger Donald W. Patten Introduction I wish to express several notes of appreciation. First, I am grateful for the opportunity made available for this forum by Catastrophism and Ancient History and its editor. Mr. Ellenberger's objections and my defense of planetary catastrophism are here elevated from private correspondence to public debate. Second, I wish to express appreciation to my support group. My expertise is primarily in geography, and secondarily in history and astronomy. However, even in the realm of the planets and in history I think like a geographer, with a mind-set to ...
59. The Methodology of Patten's Martian Scenario [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon II:4 (1991) Home | Issue Contents The Methodology of Patten's Martian Scenario Dwardu Cardona 1. Introduction Immanuel Velikovsky is not the only proponent of Martian catastrophes. Donald Patten and his various collaborators have not only followed in his footsteps but, in some respects, have gone a few steps further. To be sure, Patten took his cue from Velikovsky himself even if, in quite a few areas, he ended up by disagreeing with the conclusions of his precursor. On certain issues, however, Patten found himself accepting the same sources, and the events they describe, as evidence of these supposed calamities. Thus, in the main, Patten ...
60. Radiocarbon Dating The Extinction [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... to 2,000 years. The defenders of the older dates supporting a much longer period for the extinction to take place refuse to question these earlier dated materials. This being the case among uniformitarians, one can well imagine the emotions that would be expressed over the views presented here that the mammoth extinction took place in a day by a catastrophe. Although practically nothing else fits their mammoths-in-the-arctic, Ice Age theory, radiocarbon does. Hence, the onus of proof that this dating should be otherwise is on those who deny this. The answer to the resolution of this dating evidence breaks down to two or three questions. How accurate is this dating method, and has the data ...
