... is clear that even if the projection of Venus itself on the ecliptic plane coincided with Earth, so f = 0 or g = 0, then perigee distance was s, which could have been zero or small only at or near the line of nodes (the intersection of the orbital planes). Thus the Richter scale magnitudes of the earthquakes of the catastrophes could have been in the range of, say, 7 to 10 per temblor rather than in a higher range. Of course the quakes would have been numerous at each encounter and spread along the fault lines of the globe, so their total energy would have been great compared with that of any single temblor. The ...
... in tears, and they held their lips closed, (revolving) future things. Six days and as many nights passed; the wind, the water-spout, and the diluvian rain were in all their strength. At the approach of the seventh day the diluvian rain grew weaker, the terrible water-spout which had assailed after the fashion of an earthquake, grew calm, the sea inclined to dry up, and the wind and the water-spout came to an end. I looked at the sea, attentively observing, and the whole of humanity had returned to mud; like unto sea-weeds the corpses floated. I opened the windows, and the light smote on my face. I was ...
473. Changes in the Rotation Axis of Earth After Asteroid/cometary Impacts and Their Geological Effects [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... to be greater than a "threshold" value, equal to the stabilizing torque developed by the equatorial bulge. A rough calculation shows that such threshold value can be reached during an impact of asteroids the size of one km. A sudden shift of the poles like this would provoke: immediate destructive phenomena all over the world, due to earthquakes, hurricanes and tides of exceptional magnitude and to a temporary freezing of the climate; a violent burst of volcanic activity in all areas interested by the "reshaping" of the equatorial bulge; perturbation of the magnetic field; change of the Coriolis component acting on all continental masses displaced in latitude, making it possible the starting of new ...

... To fulfill a talmudic legend, he traveled to Rome and fasted for thirty days and nights among the infirm beggars outside the papal palace- Velikovsky's poem was a month's worth of day-to-day descriptions of events and Molcho's impressions, only the first week or so being completed in Kharkov. Molcho was credited with foretelling the 1530 Roman flood and the great Lisbon earthquake of 1531, and was instrumental in preventing the Inquisition from being established in Portugal. Condemned to death for "judaizing," he was saved from the flames when the pope substituted another victim in his stead. But Charles V managed to have him rearrested and burned. (7 ) In the late summer of 1920, in connection ...
476. Before the Flood, There Was No Moon [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... orbited far away from the Earth. A space object flew near the Moon, which caused the moon to change its orbit. The Moon moved closer to the Earth and became "imprisoned" by the Earth's gravity. Then, the Moon became the master of Earth's waters. The Moon's approach resulted in immense tides, volcano eruptions, and earthquakes. Waves were the height of mountains, volcanoes were erupting, and water was boiling. Probably, the new satellite was the reason for the Great Flood. [. .] ©1999 by "Pravda.RU".

477. The Celestial Clock [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... and John used the same Celestial Clock symbology as other prophets of varying faiths. The snakes, the dragons - sometimes with seven heads - are present in the legends of every ancient culture from India to the Middle East, Europe to Egypt, and to the Mayans. The book explores the possibility of a major polar axis shift with severe earthquakes followed by a Noah type flood happening between the year 2000 and the year 2012 to herald the beginning of a new ice age. Contets: Ch. 1: The Milankovitch Theory; Ch. 2: Analyzing The Data; Ch. 3: The Role of Oceans and Volcanism; Ch. 4: Sacred Symbols and the Celestial ...
478. Facing Many Problems, Part 2 Epilogue (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... near collisions. We believe we came close to solving the problem of mountain building and the irruption of the sea; the exchange of place between sea and land; the rise of new islands and volcanic activity; sudden changes in climate and the destruction of quadrupeds in no rthern Siberia and the annihilation of entire species; and the cause of earthquakes. Furthermore, we found that excessive evaporation of water from the surface of the oceans and seas, a phenomenon that was postulated to explain the excessive precipitation and formation of ice covers, was caused by extraterrestrial agents. Though in such occurrences we see the origin of the Fimbul winter, we are inclined to regard the erratic boulders and ...
479. Biblical Pentapolis or Midianite Cities? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... 14] As pointed out in my former reply to Vaninger, the destruction levels of EB III sites throughout the entire ancient Near East have been extensively studied by Claude Schaeffer, who found them to have been anything but "reaped by human agency."[15] Time and again throughout his 600-page work Schaeffer stresses the role played by earthquakes and other natural disasters in bringing to a close not only the Early Bronze, with which we are presently concerned, but earlier and later ages as well. Schaeffer did not ignore the cultural changes brought about by migrations and downright conquests; but these he saw as the result and not the cause of the destruction. Thus he wrote ...
480. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... research, which is of fundamental importance to Velikovsky's thesis will thus reach a very much wider audience. Followers of Eric Crew's essays in this journal will find much to interest them in "Strange Phenomena", as about half the articles in this collection are devoted to various types of electromagnetic events such as ball lightning and Auroras. Meteors, earthquake phenomena and Fortean falls of odd materials also figure largely in this volume. THE HITTITES: People of a Thousand Gods by Johannes Lehmann Collins, 1977: £5 .75. Dr Lehmann's short book on the Hittites makes a useful introduction for non-specialists to that problematic people. Of particular note is a discursive account of the mythology and ...
