It was due to the earthquake in Los Angeles that destroyed our offices there. It has caused us to be in transition to find another site. In this issue, our first article is by Jeremy Goldberg. It is a continuation of his fine work on the highly complicated revision of Ancient Egypt. The other is by John Hand. He discusses the important age of Moses. Again we want to apologize for being late with this issue. We are having difficulties to find a good place for ...

... the throne; "And the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God. "Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth; and there were peals of thunder, loud noises, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake."(2 ) Before analysing this passage, let us make an enquiry concerning the Hebraic institution of offering "incense" upon the "golden altar": "The offering of incense, or burning of aromatic substances, is common in the religious ceremonies of nearly all nations (Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Phoenicians, etc ...

He thought also that the "most probable" explanation would be that the coast level, with "whole and perfectly preserved shells," was "at one blow uplifted above the future reach of the sea," following an earthquake.1 In the Hawaiian Islands there is a 1 200 foot raised beach. On Espiritu Santo Island in the New Hebrides in the southern Pacific, corals are found 1 200 feet above sea level.2 Corals do not grow high above the sea or in the depths of the sea; their formation is limited to levels close to ...

Is K/A a test of the amount of argon in atmosphere at time of deposit? 11. Couldn't argon 40 be exuded from K 40 by earthquake and intruded into volcanic lavas and kept there as these cooled, giving them long ages? Yes. If "trace elements" rise to the top of the Earth's crust, and if "daughter" concentrations follow suit; if "trace elements" are essential to methods of measuring rock ages; if rocks are igneous; if igneous ...

Dr. Velikovsky finds evidence of new planets appearing in the sky and for the earth being struck by . . . the tails of comets, and also for the existence of... a giant planet with a fifteen-year period with which a fifteen-year cycle in earthquakes and other calamitous events was associated. Some different interpretations undoubtedly will be assigned . . . by astronomers and physicists Dr. Velikovsky's work, as yet unpublished, presents a stupendous panorama of terrestrial and human history which will stand as a challenge to scientists to frame a realistic picture of the cosmos.

... one single bit of evidence that would tie the planet Venus to the event. All that can be said with SOME certainty, is: (1 ) that a comet does seem to have made its appearance in the sky during the Exodus; (2 ) that this comet was NOT the comet Venus; and (3 ) that an earthquake also occurred just before the Israelites left Egypt. At this point, I dare not say more. Kevin Weinhold wrote: Velikovsky wrote that he at one time was not sure if it was Venus or Jupiter that was the cause of the catastrophe. I suspect he connected Typhon-slain-by-Zeus via the confused connection in mythology: some reported that it ...
