... , which we have already noticed, is that they are built of stone not found on those islands at all. Not only Polynesia, but also Micronesia and Melanesia feature cyclopean remains. On the islands of Ponape and Kusaie, belonging to the Carolines, the ruins of extensive groups of buildings were discovered. They are constructed out of large columnar blocks of basalt on artificially enlarged reefs protected by sea-walls, and are intersected by canals. We also find terraced or pyramidal structures or platforms. The most enigmatic remains on Ponape are the ruins of the dead city of Nan Matal, which cover eleven square miles. On the Marianas the remains are stranger still: we find groups of ...
362. The Weakness of the Venus Greenhouse Theory [Journals] [Kronos]
... 1, 1966 issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research, W. Ho and I. A. Kaufman of Columbia University Radiation Laboratory and P. Thaddeus of NASA Goddard Institute of Space Studies discussed the visual infrared, and radio-frequency observations of Venus, and found: "An enormous mass of dust - many tens of grams per square centimeter column - would have to be suspended in the atmosphere to account for the microwave observations . . ." Also: "There is now abundant evidence that the centimetric radiation from Venus originates at the surface of the planet and is thermal in nature." It is, however, possible that some water vapor is present above the envelope of ...
363. The Alphabet and the Saturnian Configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... however, is that, judging by the few photographs so far published, the proto-alphabetic script appears in conjunctions with various oversized symbols that would gladden the heart of any Saturnist. There, plain to see, are pictures of a disk underlined with a stylized crescent or, as in one example, uplifted arms, from which descends the tapered column of the axis mundi. One of these symbols is also thought to represent the precursor of the Semitic "h " and Greek "e ." ...
364. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... title Velikovsky Reconsidered'; this is scheduled for publication in the U. K. in summer, 1976. We shall report on this as we learn more. The role of prophet for American catastrophism has now been taken over by Kronos. On the whole, the new journal has so far adopted a less critical stance, but its columns are being shared by a growing number of writers familiar to readers of Pensée, and it is becoming increasingly important to those interested in Velikovsky's theories. Two particularly noteworthy contributions to No.3 , just published, are Robert W. Bass's summary of his findings originally published in Pensée, which is more easily understood by the non-specialist, ...

... ' assumption that the early Bronze Age Culture around Mount Ararat is the culture of the Hurrians. Dr. Donovan Courville, in our final selection, continues his work on the reorganization of Egyptian history. He disagrees with Dr. Velikovsky on the reorganization; therefore, this article should give us material for discussion and debate.

... of any correlation of the dates of observations of meteors or meteorites and the formation of circles and he replied he was sure there was no correlation, but did not say why. Another possibility briefly mentioned in Circular Evidence is that some characteristic of or emanation from the ground might cause increased flow of electrons into the atmosphere. A descending rotating column of air acts as a gyroscope and if it contacted the ground at an angle to the vertical at the site then the pressure increase at the first zone of contact would produce a torque tilting the axis of rotation at right angles. This would increase the pressure at ground level and produce a gyroscopic chain reaction, concentrating the energy of ...
368. Devil's Advocates [Journals] [SIS Review]
... at the majority of sources used by Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision. Rarely has an individual book been subjected to such obsessive scrutiny and Velikovsky's Sources will be the definitive statement of the anti-Velikovskian viewpoint for some time to come. We look forward to publishing further extracts from the work, critical commentary upon it and a lively debate in our correspondence columns as the argument develops. Identifying the flaws in Velikovsky's work is not, of course the whole story. The discarding of inconvenient evidence and the massaging of data to fit theory have been time-honoured practices throughout the development of science from Ptolemy in the 2nd century through Newton in the 17th to Millikan in the 20th; such behaviour need not ...

370. Isotopic Anomalies in Chronometric Science [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in palaeoclimatology. More recently, the natural fractionation of sulphur isotopes, giving variations in the S32/S34 ratio, has been used by Holser (21) to characterise catastrophic events in ocean history. Holser has established a number of S34 excursions (sudden discontinuities in the S32/ S34 ratio in sulphates deposited in evaporate basins in the geological column) which he explains in terms of catastrophic mixing of S34-rich evaporate deposits with surface oceans. He has identified three catastrophic events in this way: at the Permo-Triassic boundary (the Rot event); at the Carboniferous-Devonian boundary (the Souris event); and at the Proterozoic-Cambrian boundary (the Yudomski event). A further category of " ...
