... the midst of them and expounds the Torah to them.[90] As for the seven divisions of Paradise, each of them is twelve myriads of miles in width and twelve myriads of miles in length. In the first division dwell the proselytes who embraced Judaism of their own free will, not from compulsion. The walls are of glass and the wainscoting of cedar. The prophet Obadiah,[91] himself a proselyte, is the overseer of this first division. The second division is built of silver, and the wainscoting thereof is of cedar. Here dwell those who have repented, and Manasseh, the penitent son of Hezekiah, presides over them. The third ...
142. The Dragon in China and Japan by M. W. VISSER [Books]
... The dragon of the festival, persecuting the moon, might be carried along the streets in order to cause rain by sympathetic magic. The Chinese themselves, however, mostly call the ball a "precious pearl". We find it explained in this way in BOERSCHMANN's highly interesting work on P'u tu shan,52 where a gilt ball of glass is said to hang from the centre of the roof of the Great Hall of the Buddhist temple Fa(h ) -ya-sze (symbols, "Temple of the Rain of the Law"), while eight dragons, carved around the surrounding "hanging pillars", eagerly stretch their claws towards the "pearl of perfection." ...
143. Shamir [Journals] [SIS Review]
... carefully. The moor-hen takes the shamir with her to the mountains which are not inhabited by men, splits them by means of the shamir, and injects seeds, which grow and cover the naked rocks, and then they can be inhabited. Solomon sent one of his servants to seek the nest of the bird and lay a piece of glass over it. When the moor-hen came and could not reach her young, she flew away and fetched the shamir and placed it on the glass. Then the man shouted, and so terrified the bird that she dropped the shamir and flew away. By this means the man obtained possession of the coveted shamir, and bore it to ...
144. Mars in Upheaval [Journals] [Aeon]
... the innermost Galilean satellite of Jupiter. Io is a body continually being subjected to enormous tidal stresses by Jupiter. Michael Zeilik describes Io's volcanos thus: "Io's volcanos have a different shape from those commonly found on the Earth, Venus and Mars. They resemble collapsed craters." (13) (Emphasis added.) Billy P. Glass thus writes of Io's craters: "There appears to be a complete absence of impact craters at least down to 5-10 km in diameter. . .The surface is dominated by volcanic features. . .More than 100 caldera-like depressions up to 200 km in diameter have been observed. They are much larger than terrestrial calderas, but very ...

... after the Hyksos, making Dynasties XII and XVIII contemporary; in Ur, Woolley had found Chalcolithic pre-flood pottery similar to Syrian Early Bronze II. Gunnar said that underneath the Greek stratum is to be found: in Persepolis, Persian; in Mari, Hammurabi; in Athens, early Greek; in Tel el Daba, Ramesses III. The glass of Ramesses III had identical chemical composition to that of the Persian in Persepolis. Also mentioned was a paper by John Strange in the American Journal of Archaeology 1993:3 , pp. 484-485 re. Tel el Fukhar in Jordan: We have to reconsider chronology' because Iron Age pottery (normally -800) was found in a Hellenistic ...
146. The Lion Gate At Mycenae Revisited [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Petrie's position did not go unchallenged; Cecil Torr vigorously questioned and debated his methodology and conclusions but to no avail. Petrie's solution' to the problem of the absolute dating of Mycenaean chronology prevailed [20]. However, the influence of Gurob was not finished. Only a few years later, a parallel and related art historical problem involving glass vases developed at Enkomi, a possible site of Cyprus's ancient capital. In 1974 Velikovsky published a meticulous exposé of this controversial situation [21]. Under the direction of A.S . Murray, the British Museum conducted excavations at Enkomi in 1896. Among the many objects of art that came to light were vases of variegated glass ...
... or grey-black. The lighter lavas are composed mostly of feispar, or of an aggregation of crystals, and even scoriform dust is crystallised, which is an indication that it has not been so completely fused in the crater as might be expected, for if such a lava is reduced to complete fusion even by artificial heat it hardens into a glass without a trace of lithoidal or crystalline structure. As the heat in the interior of a volcano in eruption is far beyond any human ability to equal, the inference is that the rocks (or some of them) have not been completely fused, and this leads to the further inference that so far from having been in a molten ...
148. The Ten Points Of Sagan [Journals] [Kronos]
... the last thermal event on the Moon was as recent as 10,000 years ago; however, the presence of radioactive elements in the lunar regolith could reduce the result by a factor of two or three. S. Tolansky, in a paper in Science (Vol. 176, 12 May 1972), discusses interferometric evidence of lunar glass and arrives at the conclusion that the glass, and thus the lunar surface in general, must have undergone some shock, most probably thermal, at a temperature near 700 C. (The melting of the rocks requires, depending on their structure, temperatures of over 1200 C. However, many metals have melting points below 700 C ...
149. Nemesis for Evolutionary Gradualism? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ones, with some exceptions, which survived the Late Triassic extinctions [100]. One of the most persistent critics of catastrophism, or rather of some of its adherents, is Leigh Van Valen, best known for his Red Queen hypothesis of evolution [101]. This is named after the Red Queen in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, who spoke of running very hard to stay in the same place, and argues that both predators and prey need to evolve continuously to maintain the status quo. As far as the Cretaceous-Tertiary event is concerned, Van Valen points out that selective use of the evidence can appear to prove or disprove the impact hypothesis, according to one's ...
