... of violent, extreme and unpredictable aberrations in the weather. [* See KRONOS V:4 , pp. 3-18, and elsewhere in this issue.] A compilation of evidence, both anecdotal and statistical, reveals that, in fact, the years 1560-1614 (approx.) were marked by an incredible number of unusual meteorological disturbances, earthquakes, unexpected celestial phenomena, famines, and, of course, the recurring plagues. These events increased in number and frequency, reaching their apogee in the years 1594-1606.(11) Among the huge number of disturbances, they cite meteors, rain and flooding, rivers changing their courses, herds of oxen drowned, hail, cold ...
262. Evidence of Careenings of the Globe [Books]
... flood which had been "raised to the heavens." Plato relates through Critias the story, told to Solon by Egyptian priests in 600 BC, that a great war of invasion had occurred about 9,000 years earlier, led by the kings of Atlantis, an island empire of very great extent, which was afterwards sunk by an earthquake and left an impassable barrier of mud to sailors voyaging past what is now Gibraltar. ATLANTIS-The Antediluvian World, by Ignatius Donnelly, contains historical proofs of a great deluge, including details of many written records and legends of Assyrian, Babylonian, Chaldean, Hindu, and North and South American origin. Mr. Donnelly refers only to the ...
263. Hittites and Phrygians [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... clearly a series of three or more such conflagrations of indeterminate time- but perhaps requiring a generation intervening between such incidents- serves to point to a connection with the Mars phenomena. However, it is impossible to attribute such conflagration to cosmic episodes creating crustal stress and strain by site destruction alone, for the Aegean even today is prone to earthquake (and we must remember that earthquake or natural means are not recognized as the cause of those destructions in any case by the majority of historians). It is with the invaders repelled by Ramses III that the "peleset" are recorded, and these Velikovsky sought to identify in Peoples of the Sea with the Persians.58 Georgiev59 ...
264. Schizophrenia and the Fear of World Destruction [Journals] [Kronos]
... shamans led holy wars against the Spaniards, whose rule they announced had ended; and some led the tribe from its home territory to seek the legendary Land Without Evil.(5 ) Near the center of the area over which the Prophet Dance later was to spread, lived the Southern Okanagon. This apprehensive tribelet believed that falling stars, earthquakes, and other anomalous events in nature were all signs of the coming destruction of the world.(6 ) The Modoc greatly feared the world's end. Every year in the fall they danced at the coming of the aurora borealis. This was the sky on fire, set by Kumukamts the Creator, his son, and Red Fox ...
265. The Mesoamerican Record [Journals] [Pensee]
... authorities make different lists of traits common to these cultures but among them the following are agreed upon: 1) the development of a form of urbanism in which large populations were spread around single great ceremonial centers; 2) the belief in cyclical world ages ended by different cosmic agents (jaguar, wind, rain of fire, water, earthquake), and the practice of calculating and recording these and lesser cycles by means of a glyphic system; 3) human sacrifice; 4) a ritual ball game; 5) worship of the planet Venus. In applying Velikovsky's historical method I will try to establish two conclusions following from its two aspects. The first is that recent ...
266. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . The asteroid impact theory of Muller and Morris is also referred to in Kenneth A. Hoffman's article Ancient Magnetic Reversals: Clues to the Geodynamo', Scientific American May 1988, pp. 76-83. Hoffman prefers theories which do not involve extraterrestrial intervention - but notably makes no attempt to debunk the idea. Frost Rings' queried sources: Earthquakes by Bruce Bolt; Scientific American September 1988, pp. 19-20 Our correspondent David Slade queries whether all so-called frost rings' - years of narrow ring growth - are caused by the weather. Shaking of the ground during earthquakes sometimes damages tree roots and causes retarded growth the following year. So how do the scientists distinguish between frost damage ...
267. Solar Eclipses and the Historical Record [Journals] [Horus]
... the death of Roland at the battle of Roncevales, dated August 15, 778, Turoldus (ca. 1100) writes that the following events happened: ". .. great and marvelous trouble: a storm of wind and thunder, of immeasurable wind and hail; lightning strokes came close and fast, and there was truly a great earthquake from Mount St. Michael to Seinz... there was not a house where walls did not burst. About noon there was a great darkness; there was light only when the heavens were rent. . . " The reference to a great darkness "about noon" suggests a solar eclipse. Newton wonders whether the above passage ...
268. Northwest Indian Myths of Catastrophe [Articles]
... concerning the origin of some of these mountains and rivers. At least four tribes relate that mount Rainier was once on the western side of Puget Sound. He got o feeling crowded because other volcanoes were growing too large so moved over where he is presently located. It so happens that some scientists are now trying to trace out the prehistoric earthquake activity of the Seattle area and have found evidence of many large earthquakes. The Bridge of the Gods in the Columbia river has many stories about it which suggest longstanding occupancy of the area by Indians. Some tribes say there was once a great tunnel under the Cascades and they used to go to the sea in rafts with pitch torches ...
269. The Periodic Cyclicism Of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... sick though he did not die. Possibly that incident was due to the collapsing of the building he was in. Or, perhaps he had a heart attack. At any rate, he became incapacitated. Jotham, his son, succeeded him in leading the state. In Old Testament literature this catastrophe is predicted by Amos with the corresponding earthquake damage and fire falling from heaven. It is described in the Book of Joel and also in Josephus. It was also the flyby event about which Jonah warned the capital city of Assyria. Jonah both predicted it and hoped that Nineveh would get zapped, but to his disappointment Nineveh escaped. Fifty-four years later, however, Sennacherib's Assyria's ...
... is termed an abortive eruption. The same volcano is capable of abortive, minor, or major eruptions. 27. In the case of a major eruption, after usually preliminary rumblings and signs of activity the crisis appears suddenly and unexpectedly. The atmosphere becomes sultry and oppressive, which causes apprehension to man, beast and bird. Then an earthquake of considerable force shakes the mountain to its foundations and frequently vast fissures or rents appear in its flank in a vertical line. A terrific blast is heard and through the rent lava flows in a white liquid form which quickly congeals. Often such an eruption produces a new crater and from this and its flanks the gases, steam, ...
