... . In other words there is no 600-year gap - everything comes down by that period as do the fine glazes of the Late Bronze Age. There is as John Bimson rightly points out, no question of a sudden regression, and a technique being rediscovered six hundred years later. In the same way, the Phoenicians did not stop making glass c.1400 BC and then start up again 600 years later in 800 BC. Nor do the Etruscans leave the Trojan area c.1150 BC and then suddenly turn up in Tuscany c.750 BC. Aeneas would have been quite an old man by then. These were points made by me then to show the absurdity of ...
122. A Further Response to Marvin Luckerman [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... A necropolis was cleared, and many sepulchre chambers investigated. "In general there was not apparent in the tombs we opened any wide differences of epoch. For all we could say, the whole burying-ground may have been the work of one century." . . . So far so good. But the pottery, porcelain, gems, glass, ivory, bronze and gold found in the tombs all presented one and the same difficulty. From the Egyptological point of view many objects belong to the time of Amenhotep III and Akhnaton, supposedly of the 15th to the 14th centuries. From the Assyrian, Phoenician, and Greek viewpoint the same objects belong to the period of the ...
123. The Nature and Scale of an Exodus Catastrophe Reassessed [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . And natural hail can at times be very destructive. In his diary for 25th June 1652 John Evelyn reported ". .. so violent a tempest of hail, rain, wind, thunder and lightning as no man had seen the like in his age; the hail being in some places four or five inches about, brake all glass about London .. ." (Bray 1907: 281-82) More recently, on 18th September 1992, hailstones larger than golf balls fell on Foulness Island: cars were dented, greenhouses destroyed, and over 3,000 birds, 8 hares and a sheep were killed (BBC 1993: 51). In Egypt such a storm ...

... and Gurney, 1953],one expects heats of activation ? H*oat low pressure to be in the range 20 to 40 kcal/mol or higher. In fact, for viscous flow may it sometimes be considerably higher, e.g . not less than about a third of the cohesive energy. For instance, in some glasses it is about 60 kcal/mol and at times as high as 120 kcal/mol [Brown, 1957].Even in solids condensed by secondary forces, (i .e . hydrogen-bonded solids) ?H*ois around 5 to 10 kcal/mol [Glasstone et al., 1941]. It should be several times ...
125. Velikovsky Symposium- Florida, July 12 [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... geologists, archaeological geologists, oceanographers, and climatologists have studied the geological record of the last 21,000 years, some unmistakable evidence of such impacts should been found, even if comets were involved. This evidence would include A large crater (to young to have been subducted) Ejecta Layer Impact melts and breccias Tektites, microtektites and impact glasses Iridium anomaly (for a large meteorite) Tsunami deposits (if ocean / sea impact) Abrupt changes in regional fauna flora (which would be detectable in the Holocene and Late Pleistocene) These types of evidence are discussed by: http://earth.agu.org/revgeophys/claeys00/claeys00.html When the sky ...
126. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... C14 = 2400 calibrated. However, even before C14 began to make dates older, many archaeologists equated the end of EB III with the end of Dynasty 5, not Dynasty 6 as required by this scheme. But others (e .g . de Vaux 1971, p. 621; Ward 1971, p. 12; Rothenburg and Glass 1992, p. 149) have put it at or near the end of Dynasty 6, so there does not seem to be any conclusive archaeological evidence to decide between Dynasties 5 and 6. Mandelkehr's three major articles (1983, 1987 & 1988) in previous Reviews attempted a worldwide catastrophic link-up corresponding to the ends of EB III ...
127. Fake Martian Meteorites & Nasa Martian Programs [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Origin of SNC "Perfect Match" of Analyses. Atmospheric analyses made by Viking landers were used as the best proof of SNC's Martian origin. The biggest proponent of Martian theory H. McSween in Reviews of Geophysics vol 23, 1985 admits "The ONLY EVIDENCE that ties SNC meteorites directly to Mars is the composition of gases in impact melt glasses of the EETA79001 and ALHA77005" "Martians" by Exclusion. Another main cornerstone of SNC Martian origin is their "young age". It is assumed (the most misleading and widely advertised assumption) that "young" meteorites may be originated only from planetary body and specifically from Mars by exclusion of other planets. By the same ...
128. Lithological and palaeontological stratigraphy [Books]
... . The latter define series of rocks containing identical assemblages of fossil remains deposited in different places at different epochs. It should be noted that, in recent years, micro-palaeontology is used more and more to label and to date sedimentary layers. It consists in the study of fossils that are so small that they can only be identified by magnifying glasses or microscopes. Although the nature and the evolution of microfossils is not yet very well known and understood, great progress has been made lately in their study. It has been recognized that they are the remnants of organisms which have evolved very quickly, and have produced successive species in relatively short times. They seem to have been very ...
129. Velikovsky: A Personal Chronological Perspective of His Final Years [Journals] [Aeon]
... of his own "Challenge," the only display of ostentation consistently noted was that he was habitually tardy. He would walk in with that same regal bearing, usually looking straight ahead toward a target chair, which he apparently "knew" was being reserved for him, with his fingertips barely tucked into his pants pockets. Frequently his glasses would be riding low on the bridge of his nose, and when he arrived at his seat he would briefly look around before sitting down as if to satisfy himself that everything was right and proper. There was nothing ostentatious about his eating habits or choice of restaurants. There was a cafeteria across the street from the side entrance of ...
130. Ethics and the Supernatural [Books] [de Grazia books]
... part of, and will always be part of the child's life. Unless he undergoes heavy secularization he will posses hundreds of ethical views that are connected directly and indirectly with his religion. Almost none of them has come about through autonomous action, reasonable analysis, a survey of cases. The morals collect upon him like fuzz upon a rubbed glass rod. I am saying merely what dozens of writers have said before me. With regard to practically all those who have practiced religion throughout history and today, the whole of religion may be regarded as a generally effective machine to structure a collection of behaviors and bring about their enforcement. The key to the ramshackle edifice is the reduction ...
