... Dynasty; the intriguing contemporaneity of the Middle Kingdom with the late Tanitic Dynasty, the Persian occupation, the Sebennytic Dynasty and the final Persian reoccupation; the import of moving an allegedly Bronze Age' society into an Iron Age' context; the consequences for Dynasty XIII, for Dynasty XI and for the Old Kingdom; the possible relevance of radiocarbon and other dating evidence; and, last but not least, a number of apparent references from New Kingdom sources to Middle Kingdom kings. All of these difficulties, except the last, are discussed in the book. The presentation and discussion of all the evidence that led me to move the Middle Kingdom is a complex and tedious task ...
342. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ) A gorge in the English midlands has proved to be a rich source of ice age fossils and human artifacts, which have accumulated in its caves. One small fissure yielded the remains of a wolf among the bones of 33 distinct species, all indicative of the warm period which succeeded the last stages of the last glaciation. Unfortunately, radiocarbon tests on the wolf suggested a much earlier date of 10,000 years ago. The presence of a snail proved that the deposit could not be earlier than 8,400 years ago. It was eventually suggested that the fossils must have been contaminated by water carrying much older carbonate deposits from the surrounding rocks. Problematic coal mine fossils ...
343. Evidence From the Moon, Newgrange and Stonehenge Indicates Lunar Disturbance [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the ground and vegetation. Subsequently these, together with uncarved ones, were gathered up and transported to the site of the structure. It could well be that other carved stones which were not gathered up sooner or later found their way into other structures in the district. A date of c. 3200BC results when R.M . Clark's radiocarbon calibration table is applied to the dates of fig. 4 [6 ]. Seven of the 9 stones artistically carved and located in the passage/chamber were all executed outside in daylight, with plenty of room for working before final positioning. Stone 41 L19 is a case in point, with the distance between the original passage floor ...
344. The Ankh [Journals] [Kronos]
... .C ., he should have absolutely no problem accomplishing this. But then on what basis can his theory be tested? Actually, mining complexes in Swaziland have been carbon dated to such an impossible-sounding date as 26,000 B.C .( 28) But since, personally, I have absolutely no confidence in the accuracy of radiocarbon dating, I will not burden Michanowsky with this added rebuttal. In any case, it is not my intention to take Michanowsky to task on all of this. A general critique of his theory would entail a volume ten times the length of the one he penned. For the present I merely wish to focus on his interpretation of ...
345. "Just Plainly Wrong": A Critique of Peter Huber (Second Installment) [Journals] [Kronos]
... how many texts such people have ignored or discarded or "rewritten" or otherwise misreported just because those texts seemed implausible to them. Some texts that refer to lunar months with more than thirty days have been published, but how many others have been passed over? This information is not available (any more than is information about how many radiocarbon test results have been discarded as unacceptable and never published). It is imperative that scholars open-minded toward Velikovsky's theory reexamine all the relevant texts. When this is done, the evidence may turn out to be not only consistent with, but strongly supportive of Velikovsky's theory. How can we deal with claims that such evidence goes against Velikovsky ...
346. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that over 300 fewer years had actually passed than suggested by the difference in dates. The history of the Jews shows centuries of darkness and discontinuity that support the thesis. For the Carolingian period, historians find only written sources, with no supporting archaeology. The paper also set out objections to the recent scientific' dating methods, such as radiocarbon dating and dendrochronology. Niemitz finally offers answers to the three key questions: 1. how was it possible to insert 300 years into history? 2. why was this done? and 3. how can the problem be exposed to a wider audience for discussion without being labelled a von Daniken of the Middle Ages'? Clark told ...
347. Geomagnetic Reversals? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of mammoths have been found, some with undigested food in their stomachs, some even with grass still in their mouths, and some still standing (Cardona 1976a). The state of preservation of the flesh indicates that they were frozen very rapidly indeed, yet their diet is that of a temperate zone. The recently discovered baby mammoth, radiocarbon dated to 44 000 BP, was found near the Kolyma river in the Yakutsk region of Russia. Both the mammoth discoveries and the re-advance of the North American ice sheet are compatible with the concept of rapid shifts of the geographic pole and polar ice cap along the 60 W, 120 E preferred magnetic polar wander path. Cifelli's observations ...
348. Megalithic Circles and Star Charts [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . The later Druids conducted rites in open circles as well as those marked by stones [7 ]. In 1999, off the coast of Norfolk, a circle of 55 timbers was found, preserved under a layer of ancient waterlogged peat. A large, inverted oak trunk is in the center. The circle, called Seahenge, is radiocarbon dated to about 2000 BC [8 ]. In addition to the megalithic circles, there are a large number of circular henges distributed throughout Britain. Henges are circles marked by ditches and raised embankments of soil rather than stones. The henge circles have approximately the same size and dating distribution as the stone circles, although there may have ...

... and Siberia. They are found in muck pits. They portray instant disaster by tidal and atmospheric forces. Large deposits of bones are found in Baja California (Mexico) cast up by the same kind of forces, uniting elephants and sharks in death. Most species of large mammals suffered extinction in undeniably modern times. (In 1975 a radiocarbon dating of a mammoth find placed it at only 400 B.C .) The species that could betake themselves to high ground or fly quickly from one place to another survived in larger numbers. Humans were among the survivors. Maybe it will be also shown that humans were present when the continents split apart. The implication of such ...
350. Four Faces of Collective Psychology [Journals] [Horus]
... on Crete, an eruption which allegedly destroyed the Minoan civilization and was as forceful as Krakatoa. The authors argue that the soot and ash thrown into the atmosphere was extensive, covered most of the Mediterranean, and that the biblical account of 3 days of darkness over Egypt was a very likely outcome of that eruption. The authors hold that radiocarbon based core samples above and be low the ash support to a more probable date for the Exodus closer to 1500 B.C . Unfortunately no mention was made of the man who predicted this revised chronology forty years earlier!(3 ) While Velikovsky's entire list of scientific prognostications may not all be validated in the course of time, ...
