... at Cambridge's Cavendish laboratory stood on a stool upon a bench to adjust his apparatus. His foot touched a 5,000 volt line and his leg muscles galvanised, hurling him 30 feet through the air. Some DIY enthusiasts were killed or injured by touching charged condensers in 1940s TV sets. The first condensers, called Leyden jars' – glass jars partly coated inside and out with tinfoil - injured their inventors and killed at least one. I consider it likely that the ark was a huge Leyden jar'; a wooden jar' in which gold replaced tinfoil. The two cherubim on its lid were insulated from each other; one connected to the inner gold-plate, the other ...

113. Icebergs. Ch.3 Uniformity (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... parapet on the roadside, a flock of sheep jumped down into the road, and frightened the horses [of the other carriage]. Away they ran, and with the chaise, man, horses and all, disappeared clean out of sight, over the brae in an instant." There was a rescue through the broken pane of glass, a little blood ran, and somebody fainted.1 It left the first and strongest impression of his childhood in the memory of the author of the theory of uniformity.

114. Introduction (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... reconstruction, first of all, by reading Ages in Chaos; and possibly this will provide the impetus for the release of many carbon datings that have never appeared in print because these results diverged by half a millennium or more from accepted dates. As time goes on, other methods of age determination (such as thermoluminescence of inorganic material-tiles, glass, pottery) may bear witness in the contest of a reconstructed history with the enshrined version of history. Thus the tiles from the palace of Ramses III (discussed in Chapter I) could provide excellent material for the thermoluminescence testing of their age. The readers of this volume will find a number of surprises. The "Peoples of ...
115. Falls of Blood from Venus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... a comet and to obtain from them a deep red coloured liquid is a typically Velikovskian scenario. Miller wrote: "During the run the water in the flask became noticeably pink after the first day, and by the end of the week the solution was deep red and turbid. Most of the turbidity was due to colloidal silica from the glass. The red colour is due to organic compounds absorbed on the silica."(8 ) The details of Miller's experiment need not concern us here for other workers used different methods and obtained similar results. The amount of heat and the duration of the electrical discharge are not critical to the argument because thunder, lightning, meteorites, ...
116. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... tsunami produced by the eruption would have been puny by the time it reached Egypt and most unlikely to destroy armies as in the Exodus account. Archaeology 41:2 carries a different message. "The effects of this catastrophic event would have been felt in the Nile Delta region about 35 centuries ago..." Some several hundred volcanic glass shards and ash grain were found embedded between layers of sediment from the Delta, and chemical analysis shows that the ash grains are identical to those found in the ruins of Santorini. It is surely of interest, however, that the age of the ash in the Delta sediments is given as 3500 BP (also reported in Workshop 1986 ...

... each with four legs' or handles, a mould for which was found at Ugarit, and examples of which are known from Egypt and as far west as Sardinia. Tin was also found on the vessel - a vital ingredient in the manufacture of bronze. An ebony-like wood grown in Africa south of Eygpt was also recovered, blue cobalt glass from Tyre and amber deriving from the Baltic lands; also elephant and hippopotamus tusks of probably Syro-Palestinian provenance, and ostrich eggshells. The tools and weapons of bronze recovered are similar to those of Mycenaean, Egyptian and Canaanite manufacture, the jewelry typically Canaanite. Mesopotamian cylinder seals bearing winged griffins and dated to about 1400 BC were among the ...
118. The M.I.T. Earth Sciences Building [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... , the building spurns the natural light, which comes to it unobstructedly on both sides, and protects the heating and air-conditioning systems by shutting out the aaylight with bronzed windows. On the few sunny days of a Cambridge winter, the sun is blurred, and on the brightest noon of summer electric light can be seen burning behind the darkened glass. It is an experience to stare upward at the building, but for two years it has also been a dangerous one. The ambitiously calculated stresses have caused the costly dark windows to crack, and M.I .T . has had to suffer the ignominy of having to rope off the courtyard to protect its students from the ...

... in the pages of C & C Workshop and Review, and the ISIS Journal [JACF]; the rest we look forward to reading in future publications, but I doubt they will completely recapture the Sherlock Holmes enthusiasm which came across at the meeting as David darted with his audience around Egypt and the Near and Middle East, his magnifying glass at the ready to illuminate some little strand of argument as he pursued his way inexorably towards an exciting conclusion. Even the one or two dissenters to the conclusions will, I am sure, have enjoyed the journey.
