... the time of Assuruballit I. Although the task is a difficult one, some promising indicators are coming to light which make us hopeful of a satisfactory solution, certainly more so than within the shorter revised chronology proposed by Velikovsky given the constraints of Assyrian chronology. It is also noteworthy that the revision suggested here accords extremely well with the uncalibrated radiocarbon dates for the Egyptian New Kingdom which are on the whole too high for the Velikovskian model, and too low for the conventional chronology. Finally, we would like to remind the reader, once more, that the above proposals are very much the result of speculative "work in progress" and subject to reassessment - we hope, ...
392. A Philosophy for Interdisciplinary Studies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of some five to six hundred years, in which nothing seems to have happened, in the history of these places; archaeologists have, with quite monotonous regularity, found articles in adjacent levels in these places which have strong indications of coming some from the beginning of this "dark age", some from the end; surprises in the radiocarbon dating of relevant material have been numerous and bewildering, the more so when one takes into account results whose publication has been withheld; and perhaps above all, there appears to be no correlation whatever between the histories of Egypt and Israel, for all that each of them is apparently very well documented. One is inclined to say that ...
393. On the Pendulum Experiment (Vox Popvli) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Cardona, focuses on the range of C-14 ages for mammoth remains of from about 2,600 to 40,000 years which strongly suggests that no single event exterminated them. However, as White reports, Juergens' radiohalo work in KRONOS III :1 may provide a clue for narrowing the alternatives.(15) Apropos the controversy surrounding radiocarbon dates is a new method which dated Dima, the baby mammoth discovered in Siberia in 1977, to 27,000 B. P. compared with the conventionally determined circa 40,000 B.P .( 16) Whether problem, riddle or mystery, when we know the reason for the mammoths' extinction we will likely have ...

396. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... .85, p.35 Tropical rain forests with a large annual rainfall are usually considered unlikely to suffer destruction by forest fire. However, a large percentage of soil cores taken in the Amazon Basin in Venezuela show charcoal layers. Human occupation of the area is dated back to only 3700 years ago, whereas some of the charcoal gives radiocarbon dates up to 6300 years BP. The fires which formed the charcoal cannot therefore have been started by human slash-and-burn cultures, and their cause is a subject for speculation.

397. For the Record. . . [Journals] [Kronos]
... Supernovae are abundant sources of cosmic rays and "if, indeed, life evolves primarily because of mutations induced by cosmic ray particles we might say that the development of life depends on the death of stars."- (As an aside, it should be noted that in the Spring-Summer, 1973 issue of Pensee, "The Pitfalls of Radiocarbon Dating," p. 13, Velikovsky stated his earlier belief that ". . . in the catastrophe of the Deluge, which I ascribe to Saturn exploding as a nova, the cosmic rays must have been very abundant to cause massive mutations among all species of life. . ." [emphasis added].) On the ...
398. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the dates before they had the final link-ups, by comparing it to the American ones. Bernard Newgrosh says that some people have come up with different results but have fallen into line after discussions with Baillie. Bob said there is an article in the JNES, which makes quite a plausible attempt to tie all this together. Although the Thera radiocarbon dates suggest 1650 or 1670 there is a significant probability that it could be c.1540 BC, which would let the radio-carbon date off the hook because that could then be combined with the storm stela of Ahmose as description of the effects of the Thera eruption. The Late Minoan 1A, which is the archaeological period in which the ...

... for massive slaughter of large animals, as in the driving of herds over cliffs, the animal concerned was the America bison which survived in huge numbers despite this, until the advent of Europeans with modern weapons. The final blow to the theory was the recent discovery of a rock shelter in north-east Brazil containing many hearths with the charcoal giving radiocarbon dates back to 31,000 years ago. The sediments also contained numerous tool fragments from a succession of cultures, and pieces of painted rock which indicated that man was "starting" to paint in America at the same time as his fellows in ice-age Europe. It is significant that indications of man's later settled agricultural existence also appear ...
