... also in subsequent planetary electrical encounters where both exogenous dust and endogenous excavated surface material falls to the surface. The surface may be glassified by electrical discharges leaving a softer soil beneath. It is significant that the best match that the Surface Science team could come up with for the soil at the Huygens landing site was a simulant made of tiny glass particles, with a layer of solid glassy material on top. However, the Huygens probe may have struck a rock before being deflected into the soil. Some liquid methane may be expected in the soil but there is no requirement for a huge subsurface reservoir. The brighter material, like that on Io, may be the original surface ...
232. Metallurgy and Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... itself; even for this reviewer, well-steeped in the concept of Velikovsky's revised chronology, some of Dayton's conclusions are positively frightening. Definitions Most of Dayton's claims are based on the "hard" facts of chemistry and geology, and to make it perfectly plain what he is talking about he begins the book with a series of definitions, of glass, glaze, frit, faience and the other materials discussed in his study. Chapter two treats pigments and "Egyptian blue" (moulded objects of a chalky blue material) or kyanos as he prefers to call it, since it is one of Dayton's conclusions (Appendix I) that its manufacture was probably a Mycenaean invention. The ...
233. The Recency of the Surface [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the fall of a fiery metallic mass of unusual dimensions. This legend is also an integral part of the cosmogony of many other West African peoples, such as Mandingoes and Bambaras. Many priests make a pilgrimage to the Lake or to the nearby town of Kumassi, and also many blacksmiths visit the Lake before initiation to their sacred profession. Glass from the impact rim around the Lake has been radiometrically dated at 1.3 to 1.6 million years, a period when Africa was inhabited by Australopithecines. The moment is opportune for some scholar to compile such victories of oral traditions. No less than eight hypotheses of this book are combined in and supported by this single story ...
... . He simply made Odysseus land on a flat shore far away. But what of the dreadful Styx which seems to be the core of the mystery? A river of death, even to gods, who can at least expect to come out of their coma at the appointed time. 201 It is inimical to all matter: it cracks glass, metal, stone, any container. Only a horse's hoof is proof against it, says the legend [n8 Pausanias 8.184-6; ed. J. G. Frazer, Pausanias' Description of Greece 4, pp. 248-56; also O. Waser, Roscher 4, cols. 1574, 1576. Pausanias leaves it ...
235. Chapter VII: The Earth [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... Tarling notes that polarity reversals sometimes last only for short times, and as a result their detection and analysis are difficult.42 He claims that these events result from short-lived geophysical processes, but he also claims that the processes must occur at the core-mantle interface of the Earth. He does not consider the possibility of external influences. However, Glass and Heezen have suggested that an encounter between the earth and an external body could have mechanical or electromagnetic consequences on the magnetohydrodynamic motions of the earth's core.43 They speculate that encounters of this nature may have caused some of the geomagnetic reversals on the earth. Velikovsky made this suggestion in Earth in Upheaval.44 In line with the ...
236. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... the sanctuary of the Jews, and many of them were converted through the grand impression that the life in the holy city made upon them. Moses furthermore blessed this tribe by giving them an estate by the sea, which might yield them costly fish and the purple shell, and the sand of whose shores might furnish them the material for glass. The other tribes were therefore dependent upon Zebulun for these articles, which they could not obtain from any one else, for whosoever attempted to rob Zebulun of them, was doomed to bad luck in business. It is the "Sea of Chaifa" also, within Zebulun's territory, where all the treasures of the ocean were brought ...
237. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... corresponded to the ten words of which this blessing consisted. The tow oxen point to the two blessings which Moses bestowed upon Zebulun, as the three small cattle, the ram, the goat, and the lamb, corresponded to the three things which gave Zebulun's possessions distinction before all others, the tunny, the purple snail, and white glass. [391] After the tribes that belonged to Judah's camp division had brought their offerings, followed Reuben and the tribes belonging to his division. The gifts of the tribe of Reuben symbolized the events in the life of their forefather Reuben. The silver charger recalled Reuben's words when he saved Joseph's life, whom the other brothers wanted ...

240. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Schliemann's treasures of Troy' have at last surfaced in Russia, where they were taken in 1945 from Berlin. That they were fraudulently discovered' by Schliemann is the most likely interpretation, so perhaps now some more investigation of the treasure can be undertaken to find out its true provenance. It includes ceremonial axes of lapis lazuli and jeweller's magnifying glasses cut from rock crystal. How old these are is anybody's guess. Dead Sea oil factory The Times 15.2 .96 An ancient fortified village has been found overlooking the Dead Sea oasis of En-gedi. It appears to have been the centre for production of valuable balsam oil, used to anoint kings, and operated from as early ...
