... V's scenario ? Well, of course, there is always the possibility that it might have been, but since there is no repeated mention of anything like a passing super-comet in the psalms, a rather more likely hypothesis is that the various strands of imagery had their origins in the ordinary phenomena of earth and heavens- the storms, the earthquakes, the floods and the volcanoes that would have taken place even without V' s planetary scenario, and which phenomena still impress us even today. As we have seen, the psalms do pile metaphor on metaphor, and draw their imagery from a wide variety of subjects. This being the case, it seems to me that there ...
... , sometimes without any preliminary warning other than a strange stillness and oppressive heat-as in the case of an approaching earthquake-it begins with a sudden and violent crash, a blast which strikes terror in the heart of everyone. The mountain is invariably at such a moment concealed by a great black or sulphurous cloud. Accompanying such a blast there is an earthquake which may continue intermittently for days, but usually earthquakes accompanying an eruption are nothing like so destructive as earthquakes without. The crash opens the crater and by no means the pre-existing crater, or craters, for as likely as not a new orifice is formed, and the eruption begins. A continuous hollow rumbling sound similar to the roaring ...

... bodies. And one can be sure that in the retelling, if not in actuality, the earthly and heavenly climaxes would be brought together for maximum effect and symbolism. Perhaps the new awareness came in intervals of light in darkness or from reports received from the larger world. Nor can one be positive that the reference is not to continuous earthquakes. Then, too, "The land (world) turns round as does a potter's wheel," in Ipuwer's metaphor [19]. And the Psalm sings out: "God, when you set out at the head of your people, and marched across the desert, the earth rocked... The heavens deluged at ...
... meteorological authorities. The explanation offered is that all atmospheric changes or movements are initiated by events having their genesis outside our earth. A passing shower of rain may conceivably be the final culmination of a movement that began long before in some planet in a far-distant solar system, the last expiring gasp of a world which has ceased to exist. Earthquakes or eruptions are invariably accompanied by violent atmospheric disturbances, and these may-and frequently do-Set up a sequence of storms or weather abnormalities not only in the actual vicinity but over a wide area far distant from the epicentre of the disturbance, and these atmospheric upsets may continue until gradually the new atmospherics are distributed and shaken out, are picked up ...
46. A Time of Pestilence and a Shaking of the Earth [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... pharaoh Shishak is Ramses III (reducing the revision still further), [3 ] human agency may have to be discarded completely and a Velikovskian remedy substituted. The biblical narrative is crammed with incidents involving unusual natural phenomena. In the age of Elijah and Elisha (famine, miracles, fire from heaven, the passing by of Yahweh, earthquakes, etc.); the "raash" of Uzziah (an earthquake); [4 ] the minor rotational disturbance of the earth that might be deduced from the shadow on the sundial in the days of Ahaz; and the "blast" from the heavens that decimated the encampment of Sennacherib's army. Velikovsky assumes- it seems ...

48. Pole Shifts Through Impacts: The Debate Goes on [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Closer to home, anybody who has ever thrown a spinning Frisbee disc knows that the Frisbee does not automatically spin about its symmetry axis. Careful observation of a thrown forward-pass (American) football shows that its pointed end also describes a coning motion. I also challenge Barbiero's statement "that the sudden displacement of mass due to a major earthquake is immediately registered by the pole's position, with a jump in the order of meters...[as shown by] the International Polar Motion Service (Ukiah, Ca.)." [6 ] I don't think the daily positions derived from GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite observations during the past 10 years show any ...

... , 761, 760, 759) in addition to the revolt which occurred in the year the sun was obscured. Hall commented: "For six years civil war raged, while pestilence devastated the land" [2 ]. These events fell in the reign of Assur-dan III (772-755 BC), from whose reign we also have an earthquake record from Nineveh. The year is not preserved, but it occurred in the month Siwan, i.e . the same month in which the sun was obscured, so the two events may have occurred together. Plague, civil war, earthquake and a darkening of the sun are all symptomatic of a global catastrophe. It may ...

... contour based on the data of seismologists requires f = 0.68 as computed, for example, from the density data summarized by Kuiper [1954]. That the seismologist's model of the earth, i.e . their p(R ) relations, are likely to be essentially correct was strikingly demonstrated in recent studies of the Chilean earthquakes wherein excellent agreement was found between prediction and observations of the periods of the various modes of free oscillations of the earth [Benioff, Press, and Smith, 1961; Ness, Harrison, and Slichter, 1961; Alsop, Sutton, and Ewing, 1961]. A change in density over the whole earth assumed to maintain the ...
