... by allaying the usual misgivings concerning pole shifts by pointing out that provided such a shift occurred over a period of twenty four hours, the acceleration would be so gentle as to be unnoticeable, and then goes on to describe some of the likely effects of a pole shift which are typical of our own familiar Velikovskian scenario: tidal waves, earthquakes, the raising and sinking of land masses and the perishing of human life. Having mentioned John White's Pole Shift (Doubleday & Co, 1980) as being the most recent book on the subject, the author reviews the evidence for pole shifts as portrayed by the pole shift theorists. Most of the outstanding pointers with which we have ...

... the destruction of Crete in the 2nd millennium BC. Archaeomagnetic studies, on the direction and intensity of the geomagnetic field in volcanic deposits of Thera and the walls of kilns, burnt bricks, etc from sites on Crete lend credibility to a conclusion of a two-stage Thera eruption. It is postulated that central Crete was destroyed by fire caused by earthquakes at the time of the first Thera eruption (slight ash only over eastern Crete), and that eastern sites on Crete were destroyed by fire/earthquake at the time of the second caldera-forming explosion some 10-30 years later. This new theory will not please the archaeologists, as all the Cretan sites are thought to have been destroyed at ...

... proves a disappointment to anyone hoping for a Velikovskian approach to catastrophes. The author, a Russian geologist, rarely strays far from the orthodoxies of his western peers, although one is left with the impression that most geological work originated in the USSR. Nearly half the book is taken up with a consideration of the causes of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones and hurricanes and includes interesting and detailed accounts of many recent recorded such catastrophes and their effects upon man. Rezanov presents us with useful tables of comparison between the present expected frequency of and destructive energies involved in these and impact catastrophes. He finishes on an optimistic note about warnings and preventions, even to the rather ...
374. The Waters that Never Really Parted [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Earth to Moon distance. Even this would have raised tides that in some areas of narrowing channels would have been gigantic. A self extending tide or tidal bore could have rushed up the Indus Valley, which does not seem to be reflected in the archaeological remains. At near lunar distance, the visitor would have had about 60 times the earthquake inducing effect the Moon now has. How this applies to induction of explosive volcanic eruptions, remains to be seen. A deduced limit is set upon such eruptions of the past by biological factors. Ultraviolet and warmth of the present level is needed for the survival of species such as the tree Populus trichocarpa , the giant poplar of the ...

... would suggest a deep source of heat, so the mind leaps to conclude that this would rise from the centre of the Earth; static plumes or hot-spots in this context seem acceptable, but the heat under the mid-ocean ridges stretch for 64,000 kms and migrate as the sea floor spreads. From the seismic analysis of atomic explosions and earthquakes has come confirmation of Beno Gutenberg's suggestion that low density material lay within the mantle [2 ]. From the changed speed of shock waves through the layers below the crust, this region has now been mapped and is known as the Low Velocity Zone or LVZ, where the rock is supposed to be nearly molten and therefore plastic, ...
378. The Knossos Labyrinth - a new view of the 'Palace of Minos' at Knossos [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... that students of catastrophist mythology will accept with a jolt of sudden recognition. Why, after all, in a palace several times violently destroyed, would kings and queens live in idle unconcern? Far more realistic is the picture of the extreme placatory of human sacrifice painted by the find in the sanctuary at Anemospilia of three people killed by an earthquake after they had apparently just sacrificed a youth. The evidence for sacrificial and propitiatory rites to catastrophic gods is all around at Knossos, once the palace image has been rejected. The gods and goddesses and their symbols are all too familiar. Castleden brings them out for an airing in the light of Greek and other standard mythological interpretation but ...

... encountered. "All such memories are loaded with terror. There is usually a continual violent shivering and shaking of the body, sudden sensations of heat followed by intense chills, much confusion and a sense of utter disorientation, sudden shock-like reactions and convulsive spasms, as well as visual images of electrical discharges, high winds, torrential rains, earthquakes and an indescribable pandemonium of noises." Having read the minutes of one of such sessions, complete with every word uttered by the person, partly in response to the prodding of the experimenter, and with the detailed description of the torture-like experience of a groaning and utterly frightened subject of the experiment, I inquired: But why does ...

... Now geographers have found evidence for a tsunami about 40m high hitting the south coast of Australia 100,000 years ago. Dunes up to 50m high were swept away and blocks of rock weighing 20 tonnes were moved. The culprit could have been an enormous submarine land slip off Hawaii, but the researchers concede that it could also have been earthquakes or a meteorite impact at sea. Ice core doubts New Scientist 22.8 .92, p. 15 and 29.8 .92, p. 7 Scientists have been claiming to see a rise in carbon dioxide in air bubbles trapped in polar ice cores in correlation with a rise in temperature as evidence of a recent greenhouse ...
