... 1982) Home | Issue Contents Jupiter - God of Abraham (Part III)Dwardu Cardona Copyright (C ) 1982 by Dwardu Cardona 12. The Cataclysm According to Jewish legend, the destruction of the cities of the plain did not come without warning. For quite a few years prior to the calamity, the land had been shaken by earthquakes. "For fifty-two years God had warned the godless; He had made mountains to quake and tremble."(161) A few days before - or possibly even the very morning of - the catastrophe, (162) the day turned "exceedingly hot", for god, it is said, "had bored a hole ...
72. Natural Catastrophes During Bronze Age Civilisations [Journals] [Aeon]
... the flood; Hindu mythology describes a fish with a single large horn. Other myths note the aspect of the Moon and seasonal indicators. Having studied various myths, Masse came to the conclusion that the Deluge commenced on or about May 28, 2807 BC when the Sun was darkened for several days, hurricane-force winds swept the Earth, strong earthquakes shook the continents, encompassing fires swept the ground, while a hot torrential rainfall inundated the land. Tsunamis rose to 200 meters above sea level. Masse is of the opinion that such a devastation can best be accounted for by a comet impacting in one of Earth's oceans. Most Deluge myths, he noted, describe the survival of ...
73. Updating Schaeffer's Destruction Inventory [Books] [de Grazia books]
... extending from the Caucasus in the North down to the Valley of the Nile, where it became one of the causes, if not the principal cause, of the fall of the Egyptian Old Kingdom after the death of Pepi II. In two important sites in Asia Minor, at Troy and Alaca Huyuk, the excavators reported damage due to earthquakes. Under the collapsed walls of the buildings contemporaneous with the catastrophe, the skeletons of the inhabitants surprised by the earthquake were retrieved. However, in the actual state of our knowledge, it is not possible to say to what extent the earthquakes are the direct cause of the disasters which, at a date situated between 2400 and 2300 ...
74. Theophany, Part 1 Venus Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Theophany Earthquakes are often accompanied by a roaring noise that comes from the bowels of the earth. This phenomenon was known to early geographers. Pliny(1 ) wrote that earthquakes are "preceded or accompanied by a terrible sound." Vaults supporting the ground give way and it seems as though the earth heaves deep sighs. The sound was attributed to the gods and called theophany. The eruptions of volcanoes are also accompanied by loud noises. The sound produced by Krakatoa in the East Indies, during the eruption Of 1883, was so loud that it was heard as far as Japan ...
75. Bronze Age Destructions in the Near East [Journals] [SIS Review]
... XIXth-Dynasty artifacts associated with the end of the Late Bronze Age at other sites. Immediately below Late Ugarit III was another destruction level. The buildings uncovered in the stratum underneath - Late Ugarit II - bore traces of fire and destruction, while many of their walls had crumbled and cracked. Schaeffer established that the damage had been caused by an earthquake. Since Late Cypriote and Late Helladic III pottery, known to be contemporary with the late XVIIIth Dynasty, was found in this layer, he concluded that this earthquake probably corresponded with the disaster referred to in the Amarna letter addressed to the Pharaoh by Abimilki, ruler of Tyre, in the following terms: "And fire has consumed ...

... , called the North Atlantic Oscillation. This could have contributed much to the recent warming trend and seems to be tied to long term oceanic current patterns. Such natural climate change was probably responsible for the loss of trees in the Highlands of Scotland between 4000 and 7000 years ago, long before human farming practices could have had an influence.

77. The Sibylline Oracles [Books]
... Book IV. It is a relief, after the intricate disorder of Book III., to turn to the comparative unity and simplicity of Book IV., which dates as a whole from a time not long after the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 a.d . That disaster is clearly described (130-136), as is also the earthquake at Laodicea in 76 a.d . (107-8), while the legend of Nero's disappearance and expected return has already taken shape (76-79, 117-124, 137-139). An atmosphere of distress and gloom pervades the book, with expectations of judgement. It is pessimistic even with regard to the " godly " : yet it looks ...

... . Harold Moldenke of New York's Botanical Gardens: - the bush was a remarkable gas plant' - whose oil glands give off a volatile gas, easily ignited if approached by a naked flame. The parting of the Red Sea is explained in terms of a theory of the American archaeologist Russell Falquet: - it was caused by a massive earthquake, not an "east wind". This earthquake "sent the waters of the Gulf of Suez cascading in to the wider part of the Red Sea, thereby creating a channel in the seabed." So a huge sandbar was caused to rise out of the sea and Moses and followers were able to cross. He estimates that ...

... thickness of between 9 and 45 metres only. This data is derived from studies of the radio signals beamed through Saturn's rings by Voyager 1 in November 1980. Surely this thinness argues for a recent origin? Collective Amnesia, 1950's Style source: NEW SCIENTIST 20.10.83, pp.170-73 We recommend an interesting article by two earthquake researchers who reveal that Britain has been subject to some fairly severe earthquakes in the past, and who argue that the possibility of future quakes should be taken seriously. Three particular areas appear to be at risk - Scotland (due to resettling of land released of the pressure it was under during the last Ice Age), a fault ...
