... less where we now find them. We observe how utterly incapable the average geological attempts are to explain this phenomenon of the Drift by terrestrial origins. I offer the solution to the mystery without the slightest doubt, and on grounds which, from the evidence produced, is overwhelmingly and scientifically correct. This destruction from the north, with its earthquakes and floods, and its volcanic mountains bursting into flame, originated and could only originate through the agency of a visitant from the skies. The event was both violent and sudden. It struck the highest mountains, and the lowest valleys, bombarded the resisting heights from the direction of the north and north-east, rained a storm of the ...
... have destroyed the Minoan civilization in Crete and had profound consequences for Egypt, less than three hundred miles to the south."20 Sagan further tells us that one of the consequences for Egypt was, "The amount of volcanic dust produced is more than adequate to account for three days of darkness in daytime, and accompanying events can explain earthquakes, famine, vermin and a range of familiar Velikovskian catastrophes." 21 Allan Chen's article, "The Thera Theory" in Discover, for Feb. 1989, p. 79, discussed the ash from Thera stating that, ". ..

333. The Rape of Helen [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the battles of the sky gods recited in Scandinavian, Finnish, Hindu, Mexican, Babylonian, and other epics. The Greek gods of the Trojan Wars engage in plain soldiering, hurling rocks and spears, shooting arrows, and driving chariots. They make onslaughts from heaven; they launch disasters upon Earth: plagues, fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, hail of stones and arrows, famines, fogs, and darknesses in the day. The gods negotiate amongst themselves and with humans. They engage in fighting, trickery, argument, and bribery amongst themselves. They build morale and conduct psychological warfare; they provide military intelligence but also distort information for the good of their ...
334. Palestinian Archaeology and a Ramesses VI-Shishak Identification [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... : LHIIIB would have to extend down to c. Ramesses VI. LHIIIC:1b would have to come in this late or else its chronological range would have to overlap with that of LHIIIB. Philistine ware would probably come in c. Ramesses VIII (which would minimize any overlap required above). One further point concerns the possibility of earthquake destruction in this period. This has been suggested for Megiddo VIIB and latest LB Deir Alla. It has been argued above that at Megiddo, at least, this destruction may not precede (nor could it follow by much) the time of Ramesses VI. If so, the latter's identification with Shishak would make it very difficult to ...
335. Letters [Journals] [Pensee]
... rate of growth that Plummer suggests (0 .010 inch every ten years), this trough should be at least 4000 years old, dating it somewhere near 2000 B.C . In actuality that trough couldn't be much more than 150 years old. Areas of highest limestone cave density in the U.S . Areas most prone of earthquakes in the U.S . An even faster rate of growth is to be seen in the so-called Petrified Well at Knaresborough, Yorkshire, England. Not a well in the true sense, one can there see water dripping off an overhang. This water is heavily charged with dissolved limestone (calcium carbonate) and carbon dioxide. Any ...
... yet eccentric in its distribution whereby areas, like those spoken of by Professors Shetelig and Falk in Norway and Denmark, escaped any direct impact of material. It was accompanied by electric storms, the falling of masses of rocks, stones, and other drift material and was followed by immense inundations and rains, such as invariably follow any considerable earthquake but far more prodigious, and caused considerable cold for a limited period. The change in climate-the "extraordinary change" as says Mr. Whitney- which followed this catastrophe can be explained by the effects of the enormous additional weight which the cometary body deposited, what Donnelly terms "continental masses", for the terrestrial orbit round the ...
337. The Dragon in China and Japan by M. W. VISSER [Books]
... cloud gods produce rain, but it seems that this idea, which made them the benefactors of mankind, first rose in the ruinds of the adherents of the Matrayaua school. According to the original ideas, on the contrary, they seem to have only given vent to their anger in terrifying mankind by means of dense clouds, thunder and earthquakes. Highly interesting in this respect is the following story, to be found in the Kathasaritsagara.94 In the Viudhya forest in the northern quarter there was a solitary asoka tree, and under it, in it lake, stood the great palace of a [nighty Naga king, Paravataksha by name, who obtained a matchless sword from ...
338. The Sea Peoples and the Philistines [Articles]
... from the archaeological evidence the following reasons for the fall of Ugarit at the end of the Late Bronze Age: a prolonged drought, that was severe enough to actually change the soil colour at the site from a fertile red to a dusty yellow; then a destruction by fire that was caused, in the excavator's opinion, by a severe earthquake. There were no corpses found in the buried city; as with most earthquakes, the citizens of Ugarit had had the good sense to leave their urban environment before the town crumbled around their ears. Now, this city, in the conventional history of the ancient Near East, was supposedly destroyed by the invasion of the Sea Peoples ...
339. On the Possibility of Instantaneous Shifts of the Poles [Journals] [Aeon]
... doubt that after a while the equilibrium would be re-established around the new axis of rotation, with poles and equator in different positions. It is important to evaluate how long it would take for this to happen. We know that the layers of the crust, when subjected to a force over a certain limit, break suddenly, causing an earthquake. In the situation we have hypothesised, at the beginning only sea water would be displaced, with a very slow and gradual increase of the speed of rotation around the new axis. When the rotational speed reaches a certain critical value, sudden adjustments of the crust would begin to happen and from that moment the process would be sharply ...
340. When The Comet Fell Ch.11 (The Riddle of the Earth) [Books]
... British Isles and yet benefited them by its gifts. Its effects were very intermittent, but it is plain enough that all those regions lying nearest to Greenland and Iceland suffered the worst ravages. The Shetlands were once a very considerable island, but it is evident that they, like the Orkneys, were bombarded by meteors, torn by resultant earthquakes, and large portions permanently were submerged. The Outer Hebrides, as the nearest locality to the actual target or centre of impact, Iceland, the Faroe Isles and Shetland Isles alone excepted, were, like these, literally torn to shreds. The case of Benbecula, lying between North and South Uist, has been previously mentioned. ...
