... had realised as early as 1940 that there was something wrong with Ancient Chronology [2 ]. My friend Claude Schaeffer, the excavator of Ras Shamra and of Kition, had also realised that there was a problem gap of some 200 years at about 1700 to 1500BC in the Near East, which he suggested might have been due to an earthquake or other natural event. He uncovered a thick layer of dust at Ras Shamra. In my study of ancient technology I found similar gaps with, for example, tin bronzes in Mesopotamia a thousand years before they reached next door Syria. Since the beginnings of archaeology some two hundred years ago, the dating of the sites and the ...
432. The Oera Linda book [Journals] [SIS Review]
... fields not only barley, oats and rye but wheat (grew) .. . the years were not counted, for one was as happy as another'. Then came the bad time', a cataclysm involving a year-long blocking out of the sun by clouds and a perpetual calm and damp mist covering the houses; this ended with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Land sank, mountains rose; Atland was buried by the sea. The forests of Germany burnt for three years; rivers changed their courses, new islands being laid down at their mouths. So ended Atland. Compare with Spanuth's description of the neoglaciation of the 13th century BC - a fall of 3/4 ...
433. New Physics Supports Planetary Catastrophism [Journals] [SIS Review]
... race? Velikovsky blazed this particular trail by showing that when world-wide records imply a sequence of causally-related phenomena, that is a powerful argument for their factuality, since the causal connections would not have been known in ancient times. For example, a disturbance in the motion of the Sun across the sky would be expected to be associated with global earthquakes and massive tidal waves. David Talbott, who has extended the use of Velikovsky's technique, has argued that one can be highly confident in a historical reconstruction when a number of unrelated sources, even unreliable' mythic sources, provide corroborative evidence of the same highly unusual motifs. Extending the rules of evidence to scientific data, Dr. ...
434. Ancient History Study Group Report on meeting of 6th March 1999 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... natural events occur? Were there really 10 events, as there were Ten Commandments? How could such natural events occur within such an unnaturally short period of time - and if the events were supposed to be natural', why were not the more common natural disasters, such as a high Nile flood, destruction of buildings by fire, earthquakes, or even a plague of a killer disease, brought down upon the heads of the offending Egyptians? My hidden agenda for this meeting was therefore to try to find out the extent of the beliefs of those attending, including whether or not they believed in the literal truth of the Biblical narrative. I had armed with myself with ...
435. The Electro-Gravitic Theory of Celestial Motion & Cosmology, by Charles Ginenthal [Journals] [SIS Review]
... inside stars (p . 9) leads him to what he calls the surprising conclusion that the stars are not radiating by fission and fusion of atomic nuclei, but by electromagnetic radiation'. This is certainly surprising, as the radiation produced by piezo-electricity seems sufficient to keep a quartz watch accurate and to produce brief flashes of lightning above active earthquakes but not to keep the enormous energy output of the Sun for billions of years. It is like comparing a candle to a nuclear power station. Ginenthal does not attempt to specify any quantitative values of piezo-electricity to justify his sudden rejection of the generally held view of the source of internal heat in stars and perhaps it arises mainly from ...
436. Society News (AGM 2000) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... but the ash layer sits above the carbon layer, which is the wrong way round and no one has yet tried to verify that theory by looking for pumice particles in the carbon layers in England. Han reported that there are also layers in South Africa, India and Australia, so a reasonable explanation could be a cometary impact followed by earthquakes and volcanoes. Alvarez (the father) had written about the possibility of massive wildfire' at the KT event shortly before his death, so Han had written to Alvarez (the son) to enquire if any work had been done to detect an iridium layer associated with the carbon, but had so far not received a reply. ...
437. The Ring About The Earth at 2300 BC [Journals] [SIS Review]
... configuration. This much colder environment in the Arctic did two things: (i ) it affected climate all over the Earth and was the principal factor in cultural disruptions and migrations and (ii) the colder environment caused glacial growth. The differential crustal loading from the glacial growth and loss of oceanic water to the glaciers caused crustal movements and earthquakes. The crustal movements and earthquakes in turn caused widespread geomagnetic transients. What was it that caused the dust over the north Polar region that started all the geophysical effects? There are two possibilities: the more mundane one would be a volcanic eruption; the more dramatic one would be an encounter between the Earth and a massive meteoroid stream ...
438. Meetings with Shulamit Kogan in Israel, March 2001. C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Testament. After the Exodus and the wandering in the desert, the Israelites fought Arad's obstructive king. Then they went round Edom, Moab and the Dead Sea to attack Canaan from the east. Arad is essentially a one period Early Bronze Age Canaanite site, which is significant for those who believe that the Conquest, along with the earliest earthquake damaged walls at Jericho, date to the end of the EBA. This is a beautifully situated site with stunning views only a few miles from Arad, which has a modern urban shopping centre and museum. The Tell is being developed by the excavator, Yehuda Govrin, as a site where visitors can join in the excavation and become ...
439. Confusion Breeds on Assumptions [Journals] [SIS Review]
... two rivers, b) 3-4,000 years ago – the area further from there through the swamplands, which are in an eutrophic state, to the coast. The absence of lateral coastal currents in the gulf has enabled the sedimentation process to proceed without the usual coastal erosion that affects most other deltas. As in the case of most earthquakes, there may be one or more small preliminary tremors followed by several after-shocks, as the disturbed mass settles and returns to equilibrium with its environment. A preliminary quake may loosen the first material deposited, with the bulk coming from the damage caused by the main quake. While after-shocks continue, material will be loosened for transport, with ...
440. Independent Confirmation of a Catastrophic Event [Journals] [SIS Review]
... have occurred at 2300 BC. My review will mainly discuss the items that support my own thesis, relating the conclusions of Iyengar's work, with his agreement, to mine. Dr Iyengar is a professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science at Bangalore, southern India. His background is in Mechanics with specialisation in Earthquake Engineering. He also has had formal training in Sanskrit, which allows him to read ancient texts directly; and he has also acquired a good understanding of the historical structure of these texts. He is consequently eminently qualified for interdisciplinary investigations, which have resulted in the paper under consideration. The information for his paper comes primarily from a ...
