... a new deviant celestial force began to play upon the Earth and a new and heavy set of disasters began. Also unlike Schaeffer, Velikovsky wove voluminous legendary, mythical and geological material into the fabric of proof offered by archaeology. Spiridon Marinatos and the island of Thera (Aegean Sea) is another part of the mid-second millennium story. As ... centers. The formation and collapse of natural dams can truly create great destruction; in the State of Washington Scablands case, the scenario has also been well worked out by geologists. However the timing of this special proto-Indian dynamic of catastrophe is significant. Why not later? Why not today? Why were these floods coincidental with a world that ...
522. 094book.htm [Journals] [Aeon]
... to 130 metres (279 to 427 feet) below present levels (Pielou, 1991), the 18-foot rise in sea levels required for an ice-free Antarctic coast posed no geological problem. Although this exercise must be viewed as the minimum melting required for ancient map makers to chart Antarctica, the effect on global sea levels is only a small ... but not as good as the Lescarbot map of 1606. Anomalous early knowledge of Antarctica is conclusively documented by Hapgood, and demands explanation by conventional scholars, both historians and geologists. Figures 49 and 50, dealing with the Oronteus Finaeus World Map of 1532 and its Antarctic portion, respectively, reveal an outline of Antarctica astounding in its accuracy ...
523. The Demands of the Saturnian Configuration Theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ? The small dimensions of this shift indicate the pull was short term (as in centuries to millennia) rather than eons. Furthermore the effect is relaxing, and in geological terms the distorting influence must have been remarkably recent. ' [86]. In a personal letter, Leroy Ellenberger advised me that any tidal bulge that would have ... is often accompanied by preserved, semi-decayed, or fully decayed vegetable and animal matter' [156]. Its depth in some places has always caused even the most open-minded geologists to boggle' [157]. The Russians, who have conducted studies on this muck, have in some places drilled down more than 4000 feet without reaching rock ...
524. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... favoured a late date for the Thera eruption, c.1200 BC because of the size of the disaster: it would have been, he alleges, the "worst geological disaster in historical times and probably since the last ice age". Most of the damage would have come from tsunamis, phenomena well-documented by the Japanese, and these ... . It was all to alter with the Apollo missions, for although the Moon had no field, its rocks bore definite and sometimes strong magnetic imprints. Naturally enough, geologists like Runcorn postulated that the Moon had once been hotter and had had a liquid iron core and had generated a magnetic field by the dynamo method. That the Moon ...
525. The Continuing Evolution of Evolution [Journals] [SIS Review]
... comments: The first theory does explain a lot, but that does not exclude the possibilities raised by the second'. He continues: "Some of the boundaries between geological periods seem to represent mass extinction events whose causes have become a major target of research. Asteroid impacts are a strong possibility, and other suggestions implicate changes in climate ... general, the book is up-to-date and well-balanced. One passage, however, causes the hackles to rise: "At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the great French geologist and naturalist Baron Georges Cuvier proposed what came to be known as the Catastrophe theory, or Catastrophism. According to the theory, the abrupt faunal changes geologists saw in ...

... , born and raised a uniformitarian geologist, finally revolted, proposing to replace traditional doctrines with "uniformitarian catastrophism." His newly released book will surely send tremors through the geological community. Our expanding review of the literature will also include, among others, Dorothy B. Vitaliano's Legends of the Earth: Their Geologic Origins; Y. Kozai's ... and a critique of the claimed experimental proofs of relativity by Dr. G. Burniston Brown (department of physics, University College, London). Professor Jan Terasmae, geologist from Brock University (Ontario), will review The Nature of the Stratigraphic Record by Derek Ager. Ager, born and raised a uniformitarian geologist, finally revolted, ...
... eastwards. It is a geographical oddity that certain well circumscribed mountain systems consist of a number of remarkably straight' parallel ranges. No explanation is usually attempted in geographical and geological textbooks of the causes which led to the formation of these systems, and it seems that insufficient attention is paid to several facts that all these systems always begin in ... America were cradled in a geosyncline more than one thousand miles in width extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Ocean', that is solely the concern of orthodox geologists. Compared with our story of the genesis of these mountain systems, such statements appear extravagant. Water-deposited materials need be regarded no longer as having been deposited in the ...

According to Flint: "The growing opinion among Russian geologists is that the ground now frozen [in Siberia] has reached that condition since the Fourth Glacial Age in direct response to the existing climate."70 What Flint ...

On the drive from Qumran to En-Cedi our guide pointed out the survey ... what appears to be remnants of a delta area 1200 ft below the surface and at least two strange regular anomalies, one in the shape of Orion !! !

... civilizations around the world. And, in Earth and Upheaval, what is left, on the basis of stones and bones, of this testimony of paleontology and archeology and geology. If I will not live to see that it triumphs, I can see that already the seeds of germination and the sprout come out. NICHOL: What was ... that appeared to be local were not local, they were global. And today it sometimes happens to me that, when I speak at some university, I find that geologists at that place would not agree with me. They would say, "Well, it's a very local catastrophe." But if the climate changed all over the ...
