... offer sacrifice, and that "none besides the posterity of Aaron were permitted so to do." And when they cried out that he must go out of the temple, and not transgress against God, he was wroth at them, and threatened to kill them, unless they would hold their peace. In the mean time a great earthquake shook the ground (21) and a rent was made in the temple, and the bright rays of the sun shone through it, and fell upon the king's face, insomuch that the leprosy seized upon him immediately. And before the city, at a place called Eroge, half the mountain broke off from the rest on the ...
272. Tiahuanaco and the Delug [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... deluge 12,000 years ago. Global doomsdays are conspicuous in the Hopi Indian legends, the Finnish Kalevala epic, the Mayan Chilam Balam and Popol Vuh, and in the Aztec calendar, the last of which predicts that our present civilization will be destroyed by "nahuatl olin" or "earth movement," that is, devastation by earthquake. Due to Aztec cyclic theory this will become the fifth doomsday after the "death of the Jaguars," "the death of the Tempests," "the death of the Great Fire" (vulcanism), and "the Great Deluge." If a flourishing advanced civilization existed on the Peruvian altiplano many thousands of years ago ...
... intended by the deity, whose intention had been to destroy humanity, entirely. He survived the blow, but continued as an emasculated edition of his former glory, the fate of many volcanoes in historical times.8 The universality of this portentous event received full justice from Aeschylus. He paints a grim picture of all nature convulsed, when earthquakes, lightning, violent winds, and enormous waves threatened the very dissolution of the universe. Apollodorus makes Prometheus the creator, or father of mankind-the medium between the celestial heights and Mother Earth-and belief in this lingered until late, for Pausanias says that he was shown a piece of clay in the temple at Panopeus, in Phocjs, used ...
274. The Oracle of Cadmus [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Biblical verses rich in catastrophic imagery are included. After an interval- plausibly, about a week- when Elijah flees for his life from the Northern Kingdom of Israel before Jezebel's wrath, he spends 40 days and nights traveling from the Beersheba wilderness to Mount Sinai-Horeb[15] to experience a personal revelation accompanied by fire, wind, and earthquake. This corresponds to the Pentecost/Shavuot-time second Venus contact at the exodus, seven weeks after the first, according to Velikovsky, when the Children of Israel under Moses were assembled at Sinai.[16] Down to Elijah's time the Earth's orbital path may have similarly been littered with debris from the earlier encounter. Pentecost as well ...

276. The Establishment of Gradualism [Books]
... that the 1680 comet could have made an earlier visit in 2342 B.C ., around the time the Flood was thought to have occurred [3 ,12]. Robert Hooke (1635-1703) was unconvinced that Noah's Flood could have lasted long enough to account for all the world's fossil-bearing strata: to him, the evidence suggested that earthquakes had caused great and sometimes sudden redistribution of land and sea. In Germany, Baron Gottfried von Leibnitz (1646-1716) accepted Descartes' view that the primitive Earth was in a fluid-like state because it was very hot, and he proposed that, as it cooled, a crust formed which later cracked on occasions to release flood water from ...
277. Scientific Dating Methods In Ruins [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... the object, may be affected by ground morphology and inhomogeneities in the ground, caused by the presence of large rocks or other objects [that retain heat], things which are quite common at archeological sites. The assumption is also made that the environment of the sample was not changed over a period of time equal to its age. Earthquakes and other disasters (natural or manmade) may alter this environment. This limitation is also a problem for other methods of TL dating. (55) (Emphasis added.) Even though historians such as Stiebing reject the global catastrophes posited by some modern-day catastrophists, there have been earthquakes throughout the ancient world over the past 5, ...
278. Fire and Ash [Books] [de Grazia books]
... has people rushing into holes and caves when the Lord in his majesty "ariseth to shake terribly the Earth." The lowland Indians of Peru put pots on their heads and run for the hills when the earth quakes. So do Kamchatka Siberians. Against softly reasonable explanations of such behavior stand grimly reasonable ones, that in times past, earthquakes and fall-out and heavy tides came together. Boiling seas have been observed near subterranean volcanos. That large stretches might boil is arguable. Velikovsky adduced legendary accounts around 1450 B.C . Thus, quoting the Zend-Avesta, "The sea boiled, all the shores of the ocean boiled, all the middle of it boiled," when ...

... nearly level coastal plain in Greece is described by Marinates as follows: "in the year 373/2 B.C ., during a disastrous winternight, a strange thing happened in central Greece. Helice, a great and prosperous town on the north coast of the Pelopon nesos, was engulfed by the waves after being levelled by an earthquake. Not a single soul survived. I .. . ) The next day two thousand men hastened to the spot to bury the dead, but they found none, for the people of Helice had been buried under the ruins and subsequently carried to the bottom of the sea, where they now lie." Bolton Seed (1968 ...

... of damaging events that began in 365 AD and continued through the 5th and into the 6th century AD. Our knowledge of this period is sketchy and largely comes from Church records. However, Edward Gibbon, in Chapter 26 of his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire reported that the greatest part of the Roman Empire was shaken by an earthquake on the 21st July 365 AD and that, at the time, some Romans thought the world was sinking. He went on to say that, following the earthquake, people were persecuted for supposedly being able to control the eternal order of the planets and that exiles and fugitives were reported to have formed the greatest part of the inhabitants ...
