... as a present for Cleopatra; for this Parthian was presently given her, with his money, and all the prey that was taken with him. CHAPTER 19. HOW ANTONY AT THE PERSUASION OF CLEOPATRA SENT HEROD TO FIGHT AGAINST THE ARABIANS; AND NOW AFTER SEVERAL BATTLES, HE AT LENGTH GOT THE VICTORY. AS ALSO CONCERNING A GREAT EARTHQUAKE. 1. NOW when the war about Actium was begun, Herod prepared to come to the assistance of Antony, as being already freed from his troubles in Judea, and having gained Hyrcania, which was a place that was held by Antigonus's sister. However, he was cunningly hindered from partaking of the hazards that Antony went through ...
202. Science Frontiers 1977-1978 [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... RESERVOIR? Thomas Gold, of Cornell, theorizes that a vast reservoir of methane resides in the earth's crust - a left-over from the formation of the earth. This accumulation of methane, he suggests, has been the major source of carbon at the surface throughout geological time. The existence of subterranean methane is manifested when flames shoot up during earthquakes. Tsunamis or tidal waves are probably caused by the release of immense bubbles of methane during quakes rather than by actual motion of the sea floor. [Gold has also correlated with recent offshore booms and luminous displays with sea-floor methane releases. Ed.] (Lewis, Richard S.; "Is the Earth a Giant Methane Store ...

... . Sanctification employed a powerful force that could both move the dead and kill the unwary, or those who acted impiously. There were some accidents in temples, and some occurrences that were not accidents, such as the suppression of the rebellion of Korah, Old Testament, Numbers XVI, where the ark seems to have given warning of an earthquake. The sounds skr' were used throughout the Mediterranean world. In Babylonia there were towers (durr), whose name sounds the same as the Latin turris'; the shrine on a Tower of Babel' is a saharu'. The Hebrew seghor, axe, Latin securis, extends the list. David's dance, wearing a ...
204. Paleo-Calcinology: Destruction by Fire in Pre-historic and Ancient Times -- Part II [Journals] [Kronos]
... Immanuel Velikovsky. In 1948, Professor Schaeffer, who had excavated at Ras Shamra Ugarit, published a treatise on comparative stratigraphy of the near and middle east during the Bronze Ages of the second millennium B. C. He incorporated the work of many predecessors, including the investigators of Troy-Hisarlik, into a theory that a sequence of fires and earthquakes had destroyed Bronze Age civilizations concurrently, several times over, in the vast area stretching from Troy and Egypt to Persia, and even beyond into China. Similar phenomena are recorded for Etruria (Tuscany), Meso-America, and elsewhere(32) and might someday be synchronized. Although he is a catastrophic revisionist, Schaeffer has not gone ...

... or being afraid of each other. So when forests burn, horses and wolves, gazelles and hyenas flee along the same paths, all gripped by the same terror, paying no attention to one another. When prairies burn or jungles are enveloped in flame, wild beasts and tame creatures in mixed herds stampede to save their lives. In earthquake or in flood, animals lose their mutual animosity in a common fear. It has also been observed that in earthquakes and other calamities wild animals will come to the abodes of men. In their great migration animals behave differently than when they travel singly or in small herds; so lemming, which scurry away from a man at the ...

One might add that while Seneca tells us of Thales' theory that earthquakes were caused by fluctuations of the water, the earth rested on (Naturales Quaestiones 3.14 = DK 11 A 15) Cicero speaks of Thales' "pupil" or "associate" Anaximander (who thought the earth rested on nothing but was simply "at the center") actually predicting an impending earthquake to the Spartans ( ...
207. Times And Dates. Ch.12 The Ruins Of The East (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... series of catastrophes occurred in the period that started in 776 BC and lasted until 687 BC, when, in the final act of a protracted drama, Sennacherib met his downfall. In an independent investigation, Claude Schaeffer came to the conclusion that at the end of the Middle Kingdom an enormous cataclysm took place that ruined Egypt and devastated by earthquake and holocaust every populated place in Palestine, Syria, Cyprus, Mesopotamia, Asia Minor, the Caucasus, and Persia;2 previously Sir Arthur Evans had shown that, at the downfall of the Middle Kingdom in Egypt, Crete was overwhelmed by a natural upheaval; also the volcano of Thera erupted prodigious quantities of lava; and the ...

... , the sun begged for mercy and on promising to go more slowly ever after, was released from his bonds." If this describes a variation in the course of the sun that was induced by the passage of a super-comet and accompanied by a monumental upheaval of nature, then I would dearly love to know why the comet, the earthquakes, the hurricanes and the meteorites have been left out of it, whereas drying tapa sheets and cooking bananas have been featured prominently. There is indeed a variation in the course of the sun involved- but it doesn't seem to be quite what V has in mind. I would submit that this myth is no more factual than the ...

... sending out a great trail to the east, which to human eyes looked as if it was three cubits long. 838. The winter was wet and windy, and on 21 January thunder was heard, just as on 18 February loud thunder could be heard. And the excessive heat of the sun scorched the earth, and there were earthquakes in some parts of the land, and fire in the shape of a dragon was seen in the air. In that year a wicked heresy arose. In the same year a great peal of thunder was heard on the fifth night before the birth of our Lord, and lightning was seen, and the distress and misfortune of men ...
210. Sinking and Rising Lands [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Age the Japanese Islands and Indonesia were Asian peninsulas. During the second half of the Ice Age (from 40,000 to 20,000 years ago), vast areas of land subsided into the sea and were replaced by what are the Sea of Japan and the south China Sea. The sinking was accompanied by powerful volcanism and by earthquakes. At about the same time, that is, towards the end of the Ice Age, the ranges of Indo-China and the mountains of Central Asia rose another 2,000 meters. Many generations of Chinese must have witnessed the gigantic geological changes in south-east Asia. It is these events that the myths about the struggle between the gods ...
