... considered as actual historical accounts, could explain much of the geological evidence. A catastrophic model of causation suggests a massive impact north of Madagascar. Accounts in the Bible would seem to indicate this and ancient maps confirm that continental movements have taken place within historical times. Considering the evidence of the ice-ages, climatic change and the evidence for violent earthquake activity in the Early Bronze Age, Steven concluded that the early Cambrian period should be considered to be only thousands, not millions, of years ago, at the time of the Flood, the Cretaceous/Tertiary event marked the division of continents and that the end of the ice-ages occurred around 2,300 BC, caused by an ...

... studied by Clube and Napier is now becoming accepted. David Rohl: Is there any way that an astronomical event of that kind can cause the sorts of things that occurred in biblical stories in the Old Testament- we don't actually have nuclear winters, but we do have site destructions throughout the whole area that are thought to be caused by earthquakes- what could have caused that? Archie Roy: Do you mean earthquakes all over the globe at the same time? David Rohl: At the end of the Bronze Age period there are dramatic destructions at the different citadel sites where the whole thing is levelled through earthquake and fire. There is no mention anywhere about nuclear winters for ...
153. Planet in Crisis: the Earth's Last 12,000 Years [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1997:2 (Apr 1998) Home | Issue Contents Planet in Crisis: the Earth's Last 12,000 Years By J.B . Delair Summary Earth's geological record is sporadically punctuated by well marked catastrophic signatures, caused either by limited activation of internal planetary mechanisms (e .g . earthquakes) generated by Earth itself, or by powerful external agencies (e .g . impacting cosmic objects) interacting with Earth to cause global disruption. Purely terrestrial catastrophes can mostly be ascribed to crustal dislocation generated by more deep seated phenomena. They exhibit anomalous juxtapositions and reactions relative to theoretically ideal planetary behaviour and appear to be legacies of an ...

... the crust to cause the plates to slide apart and tear the land asunder? This is catastrophism captured in a broken mould, mute testimony of paroxysms in nature - but is it evidence of internal pressures in the earth, or is there a cosmic dimension? A piece of comet hitting one part of the earth could have caused volcanism and earthquakes in other parts and possibly even crustal movements. In other words, worms and dragons (comets and meteors) may have influenced plate movements as recently as the 6th century AD. Rising sea level in the North Sea, originally the flood plain of the river Rhine and its tributaries, has affected all sides of the basin. In ...
155. The Cyclic Nature of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... 450,000 miles approaching perigee to 450,000 miles past perigee. The astronomical zone of interaction with Mars is thus estimated at about 500,000 miles, a distance we need to keep in mind for further phases of this model presentation. The figure is about right for our calculaions. This paradigm therefore reflects the following events: Earthquake activity and the delay in temple construction.14 The cycle dating of 972 B.C .; Thiele says David died in 971. The October 25 timing- apparently in the autumn. The anniversary theme, "even to the time appointed." The cosmic thunderbolt striking Ornan's threshing floor, located on what became the temple mount ...

... like to answer specifically. 1. He asks: "Why, in the past and to this day among primitive tribes, are animal and human sacrifices made so that the gods will not inflict such hardships upon them?" and implies that the answer to this question lies in their perennial fear of "famine, flood, fire and earthquake...." However, these commonplace occurrences (which are so tragic for their victims) do not seem sufficiently world-shaking to have inspired such heinous practices or to have given rise to the various mythologies handed down through the centuries. The Velikovskian scenario has been offered as a much more likely explanation: I would draw the reader's ...

... the Temple to burn incense.7 The priests opposed his appropriating their functions: "Suddenly the earth started to quake so violently that a great breach was torn in the Temple. On the west side of Jerusalem, half of a mountain was split off and hurled to the east."8 Flaming seraphim leaped in the air.9 Earthquakes act suddenly, and the population has no means of knowing about them in advance in order to flee. But before the raash of Uzziah the population escaped from the cities and fled into caves and clefts between the rocks. Many generations later, in the post-Exilic period, it was remembered how the population "fled from before the raash ...

... Madhupur block has been suggested. In short, some lengthy gradual process is usually a prerequisite for catastrophic movements. A second aspect of abrupt events is the triggering mechanism which finally releases gravity-driven movements of material, snow, or water. Again either exogenetic or endogenetic processes could be responsible as either the result of unusual atmospheric disturbances or due to earthquakes in tectonically unstable areas. In situations of chronic discquilibrium the energy released by the triggering mechanism need only be small. In Hokkaido. Japan falls of rain of only 50-100 mm are sufficient to release landslides. In many areas man unintentionally has become the main triggering geomorphological mechanism. A clearly defined third aspect of catastrophic change is endogenctic the ...

... , and its ambient temperatures as it passes through the air rise to 2000 degrees centigrade or more. When it strikes, a crater of several kilometers in diameter would be excavated. Atmospheric shock-waves, capable of blowing down Manhattan, would occur, but if that would not suffice to destroy it, the heat would vitrify the city and the earthquake would shake it down. The remainder would be ravaged several times over by crosscutting tsunamis. The Siberian Tunguska body of 1908 that penetrated the atmosphere and exploded just short of contact would have done this kind of job at St. Petersburg, the capital of Czarist Russia, if it had continued to travel for a few hours longer. ...
