... still in power-one-eightieth- and though it was hopelessly in the Earth's grasp, its captor was in its clutches, too. A life-and-death struggle ensued. The capture at once caused a terrible succession of cataclysmal changes in the threefold organism of our planet: earth, ocean, and air. The lithosphere of the Earth writhed in the throes of terrific earthquakes. For their violence we have no means of comparison. The Mexicans significantly called the present aeon of our Earth Olintonatiuh, the Age of the Earthquake-Sun. Then too, in the year Ce-tochtli, The First Year of the Lunar Rabbit', the myth says, the New Heaven' was raised up. The gravitational powers of the ...
322. The Battle In The Sky, Part 1 Venus Ch.3 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... through the gases, dust, and meteorites of the tail of the comet, disturbed in rotation, it proceeded on a distorted orbit. Emerging from the darkness, the Eastern Hemisphere faced the head of the comet. This head only shortly before had passed close to the sun and was in a state of candescence. The night the great earthquake shook the globe was, according to rabbinical literature, as bright as the day of the summer solstice. Because of the proximity of the earth, the comet left its own orbit and for a while followed the orbit of the earth. The great ball of the comet retreated, then again approached the earth, shrouded in a dark ...
323. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Hyksos king allied to Solomon. The coup by Jeroboam changed the power base of the Hyksos, blocked their retreat lines and euchred Rehoboam. So we do have a fifth candidate for Major James's list. J. Eric Aitchison, North Lambton, Australia Tidal' Wave and Ocean Surge - the Difference I have lived within 160km of the major earthquake centres of New Zealand - Napier, Wellington, Waiarapa and the Buller Gorge-Murchison area of S. Island. The most devastating was the Napier-Hastings quake at 10.47am on 3rd Feb. 1931. This was the earthquake described by Ruth Park and referred to by Eric Cooley (C &CR 1997:1 , Letters', p ...
324. The Book of Revelation is History [Books]
... special shape which the word employed describes, we can always reconstruct the real meaning. Acoustic impressions are less frequently symbolized, if at all, and chiefly only differentiated as to their pitch: deep, low, rumbling `thunders', and high, shrieking, wailing `voices', or, rather, `sounds'. An earthquake, however, remains an earthquake, for impressions of touch or feeling cannot easily be `likened to' anything similar. The same refers to smell and taste: sulphurous stench and `bitter' water are what they are, and need no interpretation. Once we have grasped this key to the symbology employed in the Book of Revelation-and ...
325. Geological Genesis [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 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 initially 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 would be a secondary redistribution under the new rotational forces. Where crustal plates or sections of continental mass were forced together, compression and uplift would result in the rapid formation of high mountain chains. [* Piezoelectric fields produced by seismic strain in crystalline rocks are probably the cause of earthquake lightning and other light effects ...
326. Thoth Vol III, No. 18: Dec 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... astronomers refuse to look at Arp's display of connections among objects of different redshifts. Now Thomas Gold presents a most clear-cut example of scientific blindness and loss of data in his recent book, The Deep Hot Biosphere [New York: Springer-Verlag, 1999]: "The invention of the seismograph meant that it was no longer necessary to experience an earthquake directly, or to interview someone who had, in order to assemble data on the event.... [Eyewitness reports] were no longer believed to hold any value for the scientific venture." [p . 145] Gold proceeds to describe many eyewitness reports from ancient times to modern. A constellation of recurring phenomena becomes ...
327. Mulholland: "A Celestial Mechanician Whose Name is Almost Synonymous with High Precision" [Journals] [Kronos]
... I encountered. Mulholland admitted that if "a planet-sized object were to pass close by the Earth" then practically all of the phenomena described in Worlds in Collision would be the "unavoidable consequences of the laws of motion as we presently know them". According to Mulholland, "giant tidal waves would be raised, there would be global earthquakes, the north pole would change direction. The day, the month, the seasons, the year would all change." He granted that the verdict on Worlds in Collision depends greatly on historical evidence. He selected from several thousand data and references only one - the change of the latitude of Babylon - and dismissed it without informing ...
328. Thoth Vol III, No. 8: May 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... &T [Science & Technology] page we published a story about Echidna Technologies which operates from a small room in the recycling centre at Hume. Echidna's Dr George Fischer was pictured beside what looked like a huge vacuum flask. This was his first "triaxial testing apparatus" which produces immense pressures and temperatures and was described as "an earthquake in a bottle". It had been sold to the Chinese Government to be used to "get some sort of clue as to what the rocks do just before an earthquake happens so they can predict an earthquake a few weeks ahead", Dr Fischer said. In this week's S&T page we will publish a story describing ...

... manifest. It was second to none upon earth in daring and military skill, at first leading the Hellene Confederation, and finally fighting on single handed when all its allies fell off. [25c] After it had boldly faced the supreme peril the invaders were vanquished and the turning-point came. . . But just then there happened exceedingly violent earthquakes and great floods. [25d] In one terrible day and night all your warriors in a body were swallowed up . . . and in a like manner the Island of Atlantis sank into the sea, and vanished. Even now the ocean at its former location cannot be crossed or explored as there is a great shoal of mud ...
330. Thoth Vol I, No. 27: December 10, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... by Carrasco, the role of cosmic sacrifice in regenerating the world "was at the basis of the extraordinary practice of bloodletting and sacrifice throughout Mesoamerica." The present age was created out of the sacrifice of a large number of deities in Teotihuacan, or elsewhere, depending on the tradition. It was believed that this age would end in earthquakes and famine. What is clear is that cosmic order is achieved in the Aztec universe out of conflict, sacrifice, and the death of humans and gods. In addition to the calendrically ordained sacrifices, there were many other occasions on which the gods themselves seemed to call for sacrifice. For minor challenges in the course of daily life ...
