... 5-8 ; xvi: 1-4, 8-18, 20-1; xx. 9) (xv. 1) And I saw another sign in, heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. (2 ) And I saw as it were, a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on [at, or by] the sea of glass, having the harps of God. . .( 5 ) And after that l looked, ...
152. Agronomy and Climatology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Mesopotamian plain is that its soils are made of very fine alluvial silts which tend to hold its water. Water is cohesive in that it tends to hold together and forms drops on surfaces. It is also adhesive in that it tends to adhere to materials with which it comes into contact. This can be seen at the edge of a glass partly filled with water. Around the edge where the water meets the glass, it rises slightly. Therefore, in a plain made up of tiny alluvial particles, adding water by irrigation will raise the water table fairly rapidly since the soil will tend to retain its water. Soil made up of large particles with large spaces between them ...
153. Reexamination of the Foundations [Journals] [Pensee]
... D . degree in physical chemistry at Iowa State University. I then became more interested in the study of science history, with special interest in the presuppositions, including philosophical ones, which have either enhanced or impeded the progress of science. My conclusion thus far is that no one is presuppositionless. In other words, all men wear "glasses" which not only color what they see, but in large measure determine what they see, without altering what is actually there. I believe it is one's predisposition of mind, rather than what others have called paradigms of behavior, which is substantially and significantly involved in the question of why Velikovsky's views are not seriously considered by the ...
154. Chapter XXIII: The Egyptian Year and the Nile [Books]
... days when the rise of the river is much more rapid, and then the quantity of mud. that is suspended in the water exceeds, in Upper Egypt, that which I have seen. in. any other river. On more than. one occasion I could perceive that it visibly interfered with the flow of the stream. A glassful of it in this state was allowed, to remain still for a short time. The upper portion of it was perfectly opaque and the colour of blood. .A sediment of black mud. occupied, about one-quarter of the glass. A considerable portion of this is deposited before the river reaches Middle and lower Egypt. I never ...
155. The 1552 Exodus [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... dated to years 17 to 22 of King Ahmose; Ahmose-ankh is described as "Eldest King's Son of the God's Flesh. " He was coregent, to be succeeded on his early death by second-born Amenhotep I as coregent. This following coregency is suggested by the existence of items inscribed with the names of both Ahmose and Amenhotep I: a glass bead (Gordon 1982), a rectangular amulet in green feldspar, and a limestone stele fragment from Gebelein. From these and further considerations the coregency is virtually certain (Murnane 1977:114-15, 230). The length of this coregency is indicated by an inscription for the "First Occasion of the Jubilee" of Amenhotep I. ...
156. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... by those who, inevitably, knew better' and argued that they were tombs, despite the evidence of a network of pottery pipes and reservoirs. These structures are very recent, yet were interpreted by the fashion of the day – how much more so should we be wary of interpretations of material from thousands of years ago? Egypt – Glass, Boats and Sacrifice (New York Times, June 2005; Focus, National Geographic, April 2005, pp. 106-121; NYU, Spring 2005, pp. 47-49) Evidence for what could be the earliest glass producing factory in Egypt has been found in the Delta and dates from the time of Ramses the Great, although two ...

... His Name be magnified in all the earth." [32] And the waters of the Red Sea divided, and not they alone, but all the waters in heaven and on earth, in whatever vessel it was, in cisterns, in wells, in caves, in casks, in pitchers, in drinking cups, and in glasses, and none of these waters returned to their former estate until Israel has passed through the sea on dry land. [ 33] The angel Gabriel was eager to drown the Egyptians during the same night, but God bade him wait until early the next day, until the hour of the morning watch, when Abraham had made himself ...
158. Controversy: Catastrophism and Evolution, The Ongoing Debate, by Trevor Palmer (Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... : some of it points to protracted extinction episodes, some of it suggests sudden extinction. Evidence adduced in favour of fast extinctions includes the association of impact-event signatures within boundary layer sediments, which strongly suggests that impacts occurred contemporaneously with boundary-layer clay formation. Some boundary clays contain organic chemicals with a composition indicative of a cosmic origin and some contain glass spherules of probable impact origin. To be sure, some geochemical signatures do change suddenly at boundary events. An example is the carbon-isotope ratio at the Permo-Triassic boundary in British Columbia, Canada [6 ]. Nevertheless, although the geochemical evidence may point to instant environmental changes associated with impact events, the fossil record almost invariably shows that ...

... Luni, which on account of their inscriptions are unanimously dated to early Etruscan times' [10]. Possibly some of the most spectacular evidence of all has come from one of the megalithic mounds at New Grange in Ireland, Carn H. Here archaeologists found a whole series of artefacts of clearly Iron Age date. These included amber and glass beads, various iron objects, and bone plaques. It was the latter which caused most disquiet. The ornament on these bone plaques is by very general consent agreed to belong to La Tene art and probably date to the first two centuries AD. The problem presented by these objects of La Tene art together with iron objects was to ...

... words of the text), is associated with the mysterious ferryman, Nibiru (Nebiru), which can be directly compared to the Assyrian Nebo, who is Hermes. As to the physical phenomenon I have in mind, the reader can easily observe a microcosmic- and hence more prosaic- instance, by violently stirring a tall, clear glass of water with a spoon, and then by looking through the glass to observe the mirror-like silvery vortex on the undersurface of the air-water interface. (Under more controlled conditions, where the vortex is mechanically maintained by a magnetic stirrer, the effect is more pronounced, showing a constantly changing convoluted series of "paths.") The ...
