... Venus did pass close to the Earth, then, as you quite rightly say, the effects would have been disastrous. However, you have attacked Velikovsky by attributing to him things he did not say. What he claims is that the approach was near enough to cause tidal and probably electrical effects which explain the reported observations, namely, earthquakes, tidal waves, and volcanic eruptions, the latter no doubt obscuring the sky by emission of vast amounts of smoke and ash. Your assumption that this could not have happened because the Earth was not completely destroyed does not make sense, unless it is simply because you are a member of the anti-Velikovsky cult, prepared to believe any ...

... up to C. A. Newham's article on Stonehenge in Nature (1966). (Thom does not appear in this volume). The two volumes of Strange Phenomena (which are not to hand), are uniform with the above and cover curious geophysical events, including giant hailstones ball lightning, falls of fish, luminous portents of earthquakes, the Andes glow et al. Full bibliographical details are given for each item and the sections of each book are classified and thoroughly indexed by author and subject. The books are in ring-binder format to allow further sections to be added as they are published. The editor has cast his net very wide to collect his strange fish, ...

424. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... topics covered, for in addition to EM phenomena the authors also investigate gravitational forces and the effects of infrasound (intense very low frequency acoustic waves). The relationship of all these forces to the biosphere is explored, leading to a fascinating guided tour which takes in acupuncture, dowsing, biofeedback and biorhythms, mitogenetic radiation, animal behaviour in earthquakes, beneficial - and other - effects of ionised air (come back WILHELM REICH, all is forgiven!) and chronopharmacology. The latter subject originates in a growing understanding of the importance of time in the administration of healing drugs; and this in turn is part of a wider picture, the study of cyclical processes which encompass everything ...

... of Velikovsky's use of source material, presents a case against Velikovsky's identifications, followed by responses from other scholars. A report on new archaeological work in Israel that appears to confirm Velikovsky and Bimson's link between the Israelite Conquest of Canaan and the end of the Middle Bronze Age in Palestine. Geophysical evidence from Israel for the "commotion" (earthquake) in the reign of the 8th-century king Uzziah. How valid are the claims that Claudius Ptolemy faked his data on ancient eclipses and his list of Babylonian kings; and how much does Assyrian chronology depend on Ptolemy and other astronomical data? Swedish ancient historian Carl Olof Jonsson assesses the evidence for the basis of ancient Mesopotamian chronology. Dr ...
426. A Response to Forrest [Journals] [SIS Review]
... noise" emanates from human throats [3 ]. Velikovsky, writing as late as the 1940s, may thus be accused of Egyptological dilettantism, but not (in this instance, at least) of the flight of fancy imputed to him in this book: on the basis of Gardiner's original translation, the inference that the text refers to earthquakes is not so outrageous [4 ]. Nor is it fair, in this same example, to accuse Velikovsky of a "context transplant" whilst ignoring the fact that the use of the "edited" version by Wilson results in just as much dyscontextualization. (Forrest claims to be "treading cautiously on the admitted incompleteness of the ...
427. Velikovsky: Hero or Heretic? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... happened once. Probable or improbable, did they happen? Geological and climatological evidence The answer lies in the geologic record of the Earth's past. If a collision occurred with another planet, it must have left its mark in that record, because the pull of the intruding planet's gravity would have fractured the Earth's crust, raising mountains and causing earthquakes and other catastrophes on a global scale. If the Earth's crust shows evidence of these disturbances in the fifteenth or in the eighth century BC, around the time Dr Velikovsky suggested for the planetary collisions, that would be strong evidence for his theory. What does the geologic record show? The formation of a new mountain range would stand ...
428. The River of Ocean [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to represent the ocean (e .g . the serpent of Midgard), both in the way in which the ocean was thought to encircle the land and as an explanation of the eternal rippling motion of the waves, so similar to that of a snake. Similarly it was used to explain the ructions of the earth's surface during an earthquake: snakes live in holes in the ground so what could be more logical (to the primitive mind) than that the rippling motion of a great subterranean worm was causing the surface movement? Snakes can be purely phallic symbols on occasion; or merely symbolic of fear itself, as powerful unconscious glyphs associated with darkness and chaos." ...
429. Some 'New Chronology' Issues [Journals] [SIS Review]
... peoples that were formerly refugees from outside Palestine, without any tribal affiliation. The Amarna Habiru were likewise employed as mercenaries by the various rival factions, and an interesting point is that Amarna coincides with a phase of environmental fragility that would certainly have contributed to Habiru numbers, viz economic hardship derived from famine, warfare, disease and even an earthquake is recorded in the Letters. On at least one occasion after Amarna large numbers of refugees entered Palestine - recorded at Medinet Habu by Ramesses III. These included sea-borne invaders (the so-called Sea Peoples') and an invasion influx halted at the borders of Egypt - in this instance, the border between Hittite and Egyptian Syria. They ...
430. Out of the Desert? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... conquest, peaceful infiltration and internal revolt. There are clear problems in simply applying the biblical accounts of the Conquest to all the archaeological periods mentioned above. One alternative is the model of peaceful infiltration developed by Albrecht Alt and Martin Noth, who point out that site destructions are not conclusive evidence for conquest. In this context, they mention earthquakes, fires and hit and run' attacks, such as those of the Sea Peoples. Another alternative developed by George Mendenhall was of internal revolt by people who had already settled in the country. Finally, Joseph Callaway developed the hybrid model of a frontier society', involving settlements in the hill country by refugees from the coastal plain ...
