... due to local phenomena, which is a lame finish to discussions and maps showing how widespread and similar are the flood myths from around the world. Strangely, Rezanov follows this immediately with an interesting description of the history of the Mediterranean basin, with its drying up and subsequent catastrophic reflooding about 10Myrs ago. He refers to this as a deluge, though perhaps the translation is a little misleading, but hastens to add that man had not evolved at that stage. As a collection of descriptions of most types of natural catastrophe the book has some value, enhanced, I feel, by the author not being a disciple of NATURE. Despite the mainly orthodox approach, some less ...

... , which he hopes will soon appear in an English language version. Professor Tollman and his wife are Austrian geologists who are describing Lyellism as an obsolete thought pattern. In the light of the recent discoveries of cataclysmic asteroid and comet impacts they are advocating a return to Cuvier's catastrophism. They suggest that the most recent catastrophe has been the Universal Deluge around 7552BC, caused by oceanic impacts by fragments of a great comet. The scenario of after effects of the impact are just those described by Velikovsky for his world-wide catastrophes. New World - Old World Contacts Books based on the theories that ancient Europians and Asians had had colonising or trading contact in the New World thousands of years ago ...
304. Mercury and the Tower of Babel [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... I take this to indicate that not only did Mercury resemble a monkey or ape in the sky, but that some children born after the cataclysm were deformed in such a way that they resembled apes. I see no reason why the human species should be exempt from mutation especially in view of the fact that the human life-span shortened after the Deluge. The giants of Canaan described in Exodus may also have been mutations. Mercury's constant association with writing may indicate that the human memory deteriorated after the Tower of Babel disaster.(9 ) Notes and References 1. Larousse World Mythology, pp. 340-2. 2 cf. the conviction of Dr Velikovsky that ". .. Jupiter ...
305. Preface (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... narrated in documents and traditions were indicated only here and there, when I felt that the immediate testimony of the rocks must be presented along with the historical evidence. I closed that description of cataclysmic events with a promise to attempt, at a later date, the reconstruction of similar global catastrophes of earlier times, one of them being the Deluge. I had intended, after piecing together the history of these earlier global upheavals, to present geological and paleontological material to support the testimony of man. But the reception of WORLDS IN COLLISION by certain scientific groups persuaded me, before reviving the pageant of earlier catastrophes, to present at least some of the evidence of the rocks, ...
306. The Evolutionist-Creationist Battle: A Threat to Catastrophist Evolution (Focus) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... evidence that radiometric dating is invalid, coprolites, the sudden appearance of forms in the fossil record - all these facts we are long familiar with as evidence of world-wide catastrophes. In the hands of the Creationists, however, they are rapidly becoming inextricably mired in the slough of religious bigotry because they are presented as evidence of a unique Noachian Deluge catastrophe in a world created during six days only a few thousand years ago. In such a context they can be faulted as unbiassed scientific observation and the religious motivation behind them can be detected. Chandra Wickramasinghe, a prime witness for the defence, helped to lose the case for them by admitting that no rational scientist could believe that ...

... of the sea, and that subsequently this dry land, with its upright trees, had been let down into the depths of the ocean. In these depths, the formerly dry land was covered by sedimentary beds, and these again by enormous streams of submarine lava, one such mass attaining the thickness of a thousand feet; and these deluges of molten stone and aqueous deposits five times alternately had been spread out. The ocean which received such thick masses, must have been profoundly deep; but again subterranean forces exerted themselves, and now I beheld the bed of that ocean, forming a chain of mountains more than seven thousand feet in height. . . . Vast, ...
308. Plato. Ch.2 To Know And Not To Know (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... once more, after the usual period of years, the torrents from heaven sweep down like a pestilence, leaving only the rude and unlettered among you. And so you start again like children, knowing nothing of what existed in ancient times here or in your own country. .. .To begin with, your people remember only one deluge, though there were many earlier; and moreover you do not know that the noblest and bravest race in the world once lived in your own country. From a small remnant of their seed you and all your fellow-citizens are derived; but you know nothing of it because the survivors for many generations died leaving no word in writing. ...

... black waters, the steeples and debris on which survivors cling, the burning cities, the oil droplets descending, the forced witnessing of charred bodies, the bits of corpses hurtling through the air, the labyrinths which the survivors fled into beneath the earth (part of the unconscious obsession of the spelunkers), the fantastic scaffolds built above the deluge, the flying and soaring through the air when gravitational forces changed, the obsessive worshipping and propitiation of the violent comet gods, the goon squads picking the doomed and carrying out of terrible sacrifices, the decimations of other tribes in the name of comet divinities- the cruel tortures inflicted on those breaking the covenants and comet-cult taboos. How ...

... high over the continents? "It was conceived that somehow and somewhere in the far north a series of gigantic waves was mysteriously propagated. These waves were supposed to have precipitated themselves upon the land, and then swept madly on over mountain and valley alike, carrying along with them a mighty burden of rocks and stones and rubbish. Such deluges were styled waves of translation'; and the till was believed to represent the materials which they hurried along with them in their wild course across the country."(19) The stones and boulders on the hilltops and the mounds of sand and gravel in the lowlands were explained by this theory. Critics, however, maintained that ...
