... had rule over the whole island and several others, and over parts of the continent, ' in Europe reaching Libya and northern Italy. V: An accurate description of the sphere of Minoan political and economic influence. J: It is by no means certain how far the Minoan empire' extended. 5 End of Atlantis There occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune the island of Atlantis disappeared in the depths of the sea. ' V: Describes the eruption of Thera. J: Or any earthquake or volcanic eruption anywhere. 6 Mud shoals The sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable, because there is a shoal of mud ...
122. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... appear to be strong fluctuations in its magnetic field but would-be forecasters are bewildered by the complexity of solar events and have few answers to the many questions about electromagnetism in the Solar System. Colourful quakes New Scientist 17.2 .96, p. 16 and 23/30.95, p. 15 Flashes of light seen shortly before earthquakes are often reported as red and blue. This is probably due to a phenomenon known as fractoluminescence, which occurs when quartz fractures. Quartz, the most common mineral in rocks, is a form of silica, which has been shown to emit red light, changing to blue as it begins to fracture. Another researcher has twice picked ...
123. A PERSONAL MEMOIR [Journals] [Aeon]
... have been greater, the volcanic activity must have been greater (both of which is true) and the surface temperature of the Earth would have had to have been higher, which can also be proven from the saurian anatomy (Boston study). (3 ) Nieper also explains that: Turbulence in the Tachyon-Field may be the mechanism causing earthquakes. During a strong turbulence, upper stories of the houses are the first to be destroyed, while the last to be destroyed is the part where the house touches the ground. For a shock which takes place exclusively at the Earth's surface, the destruction would have to proceed exactly the opposite, due to the inertia of the mass ...
124. Paleo-Calcinology: Destruction by Fire in Pre-historic and Ancient Times Part I [Journals] [Kronos]
... of the ecology, cuisine, and religious ceremonies of early human groups. Overall calcination has sometimes, with less than complete evidence, been interpreted as the work of torch-bearing invaders. For example, James Melaart uses the convenient phrase "whether by accident or by enemy action" to describe the destructive combustion of Troy IIg.(3 ) Earthquakes, too, are invoked with some frequency, although a determination that a fire is an effect of an earthquake is by no means simple. On rare occasions, where there exists a historical record such as Pliny the Younger's description of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D ., volcanism is admitted and may lead ultimately to ...
125. Volcanism And Catastrophic Mythology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... inflicted by an active volcano might seem more than sufficient for a catastrophic mythology. The most common view of volcanic lava flows destroying everything in their path is in fact a very limited one. In addition to, or instead of lava, volcanoes produce broken rock, ash, dust, superheated gases and steam. They may be preceded by earthquakes and be so violent that they blow the top off their magma chamber, subsequently collapsing to form a caldera. If caldera collapse occurs in the sea then tsunamis, or huge tidal waves, are generated. The immediate destructive effects of lava flows and ashfalls are often accompanied by torrential rain or hail storms and massive lightning discharges from the ...
126. The Oceans [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... " But of course, Velikovsky is still damned in spite of evidence of sea-floor sediments that suggest sudden catastrophe. suggested. G. V. Middleton shows that sedimentation need not be the gradual process Gould earlier "Rare events: throughout geological time, events that are rare by human standards but common on a geological time scale, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and storms, produced widespread sediment deposits. This is increasing evidence for a few truly rare but significant events such as the . . . collisions between the Earth and large meteoric or cometary bodies."28 If a large meteorite or comet landed in the ocean it would cause the sediments in it to be re-deposited in ...
127. Crazy Heroes of Dark Times [Books] [de Grazia books]
... and ten years of life also to his palace. It could not have been destroyed when the city of Troy was. Supposing Pylos to have been consumed by an atmospheric disaster, and Troy VIIA by the same (for it was indeed incinerated), it is possible still then that the end of Troy VI, which was wrecked by earthquake, might have marked the end of the Trojan War and the departure of the Greeks. We recall two stories of the war: Poseidon battered down the famous Achaean defensive wall near the sea after the Achaeans departed; further, the breech in the Trojan Wall was made to admit the Trojan Horse, which may have been the symbol ...
128. The Climatic Breakdown (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... covered with soil was washed bare, in one single night, by a terrible deluge' (112a) and was now little more than `a mere rocky skeleton' (111b), or that the onrushing waters had buried the rich plains under great deposits of shingle (111c). Nor was it due to the fact that the earthquakes and various tectonic tiltings caused in the lithosphere by the capture deformations, and the losses of moisture-storing soil, brought about great changes in the hydrography of the `world' of the Greek forefathers (111 d, 112d). No, the chief reason for the catastrophic loss of `fertility' was that whereas formerly the country had ...
129. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... association with spreading centres was first put forward in our pages by member David Slade (see Workshop 1988:1 , pp. 42-3). Slade postulates not only that decompression melting is powered by the action of tides upon the Earth's crust, but also that it is this ceaseless repetitive action which causes the rifting in the first instance. Earthquake Electrics?source: New Scientist 28.10.89, p. 71 As we have reported before, scientists have correlated the timing of earthquakes along the San Andreas Fault with the height of the sunspot cycle, the peak of the Moon's 18.6 year cycle, and the maximum tidal shearing effects at dawn or dusk produced ...
130. Ice And Tide. Ch.9 Axis Shifted (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... Tidal waves traversed continents, moving by inertia when the daily rotation of the earth was disturbed; the ocean water also retreated from the equatorial to the polar regions, returning to the equator with the adjustment of the diurnal rotation. These tidal waves, augmented by others produced by the extraneous fields of force, and by tides generated by submarine earthquakes and hurricanes, were the main agents that dispersed erratic boulders, distributed marine sediment over the land, covered the ground with drift. Invasions of the land by the sea, torrential rains, prodigious snowfalls, floods caused by the melting ice cover, and multitudinous icebergs sliding into the sea, all contributed to the readjustment of the mantle ...
