... (especially chapters i and x), and Daniel (ii. 31-35; vii. 1-14; viii. 1-14),while references and allusions are scattered through the whole Bible. The primeval Serpent or Dragon appears again and again, and so do the mythical monsters- behomoth, tehomoth, leviathan, seraphim, cherubim; also fire-rain, earthquake catastrophes, the flood, the mountain ofGod, the garden of Eden, and so on. It is as peculiar as it is evident that the apocalyptic fragments are practically foreign to their context. There is something ifthem of the nature of quotations. The appearance in Biblical literature of apocalyptic matter is a very late phenomenon hardly to be ...
402. Part III: The Legends [Ragnarok] [Books]
... Chimtera that breathes resistless fire, fierce, huge, swift. And Typhaon, associated with both these, is the most dreadful monster of all, born of Hell and sensual sin, a serpent, a fierce dragon, many-headed, with dusky tongues and fire gleaming; sending forth dreadful and appalling noises, while mountains and fields rock with earthquakes; chaos has come; the earth, the sea boils; there is unceasing tumult and contention, and in the midst the monster, wounded and broken up, falls upon the earth; the earth groans under his weight, and there lie blazes and burns for a time in the mountain fastnesses and desert places, melting the earth ...
403. On Comets and Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... , whose precise measurements of the parallax of the comet of 1577 provided the necessary proof that comets moved outside the immediate sphere of the Earth, thereby overthrowing the prevailing Aristotelian view that comets were an atmospheric phenomenon and establishing the scientific investigation of comets on a solid footing. Tycho associated the appearance of a comet with destructive winds, floods, earthquakes, famine, pestilence, war, and the death of kings. (17) A glance at any of the encyclopedias of folklore will confirm the archetypal nature of the mythology surrounding comets. Funk and Wagnall's encyclopedia, for example, included the following description under the heading of comet: "Not only in antiquity, but through the ...
404. Editor's Page [Journals] [Aeon]
... to the past," one of the article states that this comet was "last seen in these parts 4, 200 years ago"- although, some lines later, "4 , 210 years ago"- which doesn't jive with its calculated return in another 2, 400 years. Informing us that comets "have been blamed for earthquakes and floods, Caesar's assassination and the death of Charlemagne," we are also told that the last human eyes to behold this particular one "were eyes that saw the Great Pyramids at Giza when they were young," which is contradicted a few lines later where it is said that "the Great Pyramids had already endured 400 years ...
405. A Brief Response to Marvin Luckerman [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the other hand, late within MB II C we find that some cities (e .g . Shechem) "were destroyed several times in quick succession" (W . G. Dever). It seems more feasible to link these MB II C destructions and rebuildings with the effects (and possible recurring after-effects, i.e . earthquakes) of the Exodus disaster, than to look for the appropriate destruction levels at the close of earlier periods. In my article on the Philistines, mentioned above, I have provided further reasons for placing the Exodus during MB II C. I would question Mr. Luckerman's apparent agreement with conventional historians, that "MB II C should ...
406. Mediterranean Basin Catastrophe [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Balearic Abyssal Plain. What today is the Strait of Gibraltar was in those days an isthmus, from which, according to Genesis (7 :11) flowed down streams of water that percolated through the isthmus crevices, with the Atlantic (in Genesis called "The Great Deep") about 2000 meters above the Mediterranean depression. A large earthquake then caused a rift valley that made the Gibraltar isthmus to subside, continuing the rift along the Algerian Basin, the Algerian Tyrrhenian Trough, and into the Malta Trough. This Malta Trough is evidenced by the sheer cliffs of Malta's southern coast, with an abrupt drop of about 30 meters with another 10 fathoms' depth of sea. ...
407. Twilight of the Gods (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... , and by geological, oceanographic, and seismological research by James Mavor, A.G . Galanopoulos and Edward Bacon, and Jürgen Spanuth. [4 ] Increasingly, scientific and reality-based mythological research has been focusing on a 1000 to 1500 B.C . great cataclysm which is well supported by world-wide evidences of volcanoes, tidal waves, earthquakes, and great fires. Baran supports Plato's date with the Çatal Hüyük excavation, the chronology of the Quiche Maya codex, the 11,000 B.C . civilization in Egypt, and other sources, such as North American cataclysmic stories from native American legends. He examines the profound effect on the human psyche from the cataclysm, ...
408. The Animal that Changed the Course of World History: The Mammoth [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... where frozen mammoths were frequently discovered, so it is quite logical that "mammuthus" should be of Finno-Ugric origin. The belief that the mammoth was an underground creature was shared in early modern times. For instance, Nicolas Cornelius Witsen, the mayor of Amsterdam, who visited Russia in 1664, made the ill-considered statement that the riddle of earthquakes was now explained by the movements of this "huge rat" under the ground. Despite the fact that mammoths disappeared thousands of years ago, they have- even posthumously- been extremely helpful to humans. From times immemorial Siberians have traded in mammoth tusks. It was a large-scale enterprise. According to statistical data, before World War ...

... be Brad's dates, when we turn to the Inscriptions of the Assyrian kings we find: Tiglath-pileser I 1060-1022, names an Ashuruballit, a Shalmaneser and a Tukulti-Ninurta, Shalmaneser II 976-965 Tukulti-Ninurta II 920-914 Shalmaneser III 888-854 Ashuruballit I 904-869 Shalmaneser I 814-785 Tukulti-Ninurta I 784-748 Tiglath-pileser I's father, Ashur-resha-ishi I 1078-1061, names a Shalmaneser in connection with an earthquake at Ashur which had occurred prior to one at the time of Ashur-resha-ishi's grandfather, Ashur-dan I 1114-1079. Ashur-dan I's father, Ninurta-apil-Ekur 1117-1115 calls himself, son of EribaAdad; while the Assyrian King List calls him son of Ilu-Hadda, offspring of Eriba-Adad.- Eriba-Adad II was a grandson of Tiglath-pileser I. To this may be added the ...
