... could not be so continuously loaded. Recalling, however, the simple rule of potential difference, we would be able to judge the new conditions if we knew whether the earth was still releasing charge regionally as the lithosphere sought electrical equilibrium. Indications of disequilibrium could be obtained if we knew whether volcanism was still raging in many places, if earthquakes were frequent, if St. Elmo's fire were common on higher places, and if the state of all such activities were changing not only in the Palestinian area but in the broader areas with which Palestine was connected, such as the great Syro-African-Mediterranean rifts, the Danubian region, the Upper Nile, the Anatolian mountains, and so on ...

... Aral Sea is now only a fraction the size it was due to modern water usage and is already having local climatic effects, but it and the Caspian Sea shrank considerably during the period AD 200 – 600 due to drought; the water all over western Europe deteriorated dramatically during this time. During this period there was also a spate of earthquakes; one in 262 AD destroyed the cities of Menouthis and Herakleion in the Nile Delta and one in 365 AD damaged Alexandria and Crete. It was felt up to 1,500 kilometres away, around the Mediterranean and appears to have occurred as the eighth of eleven quakes occurring over a period of twelve years. Member Peter Fairlie-Clarke notes ...

... is more ash that you get just burning down a house, a lot more ash. And when this occurs, it is usually just shovelled out. But Schaeffer made a series of charts, the ninth puts them all together, and the interesting thing is that he compared the stratigraphy, he compared his dates, and he got simultaneous earthquakes along from one city to another in many places. But the really interesting thing on chart 9 is what he calls the 16th century BC. There is a total hiatus all the way across the board, in all these digs. Something happened at that period.- This is his explanation which fell on absolutely deaf ears. It's ...

... ruling class rather than huge numbers of people, which would indicate semites remained behind. Before locating the Exodus, we should first establish what legendary material has become attached to the story - and a lot of it is evident, i.e . Moses in the bulrushes, circumcision, a massive natural disaster. Nothing more unusual than an earthquake may have occurred etc., etc. Phillip Clapham, High Wycombe, Bucks. Centuries of Darkness?Dear Sir I have just completed reading Peter James' recent book, Centuries of Darkness, and found his arguments for a reduction of approximately 250 years in the dating of the end of the Late Bronze Age, from about 1200 ...

... the South Shetland Islands at 274 metres above sea level, and comments that this is too high for comfort and creating a host of difficulties of interpretation. ' Equally difficult of interpretation by conventional means are the many ancient legends of massive floods which submerged islands and mountains completely. A South American legend claims that the flood was a result of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. In Africa, in the lower Congo, the flood is stated to be the result of the sun meeting the Moon and throwing mud at it. Pacific Island myths claim that the islands were fished up out of the sea for the benefit of the survivors of the flood. Gold has indicated that the plasticity of ...

... the AIC synchronisms, extending them back to redate the Sojourn, Famine and Exodus and forwards to revise the Third Intermediate Period (TIP). He started his historical studies when Biblical archaeologists made claims contradicting the scriptures. The most famous of all the Conquest sites was Jericho, whose walls fell before the invading Joshua as a result of an earthquake. Excavating there in 1930-1936, Garstang found a double line of walls thrown down, apparently by an earthquake, since the outer wall base had tipped outwards. From biblical chronology he dated this event c. 1400-1385BC but in the 1950s Kathleen Kenyon worked at the site and redated these walls back to the end of the Early Bronze Age ...

... bring its own forces to bear upon the crust, with the result that the one-side bulge would disappear and an equatorial bulge develop instead. The land mass upon the bulge would therefore be shattered as the radius of curvature of its underlying mantle increased, causing rifting and thinning. Massive flows of molten magma would ensue, together with volcanoes and earthquakes. The shattered plates of what once was Pangaea would be redistributed under the new rotational forces, to form separated continents. Where crustal plates or sections of continental mass were forced together, compression and uplift would result in the rapid formation of high mountain chains; where there was rifting between plates, trenches would be formed, for example ...

... . Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 13 Deluge Warnings The period immediately before the Great Flood must have been eventful and ominous. The impending catastrophe cast its shadow before. With the complete disintegration of the satellite and the waning of its powers, the comparative stability of the distorted lithosphere had come to an end, and the earthquake shocks, increasing in number, duration, and strength, told everybody that something was going to happen. The state of the atmosphere, too, must have announced a great change, for endless cloudbursts or hailstorms descended from the dark, low, tempestuous clouds. The meteor-swarms of the core material lit the nights with a lurid glare ...

... .05, p. 32) The largest recorded flood in Britain happened in AD 1607 when water rushed up the Bristol Channel, killing thousands of people and devastating a huge area of land. Investigations now indicate that it could not have been caused by a storm surge; it was more likely to have been a tsunami caused by an earthquake or landslip in the seas to the west. Interestingly, reports at the time mentioned that sparks' were seen above the waves, a phenomenon reported elsewhere with tsunamis. A reader of New Scientist points out that tsunamis caused by the now popular idea of methane burps would disturb sediments and give rise to landslips of unprecedented proportions. All ...
