... located only a few thousand miles away from their iron mines in Southern Africa!), got down on their hands and knees and, using stone picks, extracted enough red ochre to smear their bodies pink. Inspired by this obviously superior technology, terrestrial civilisation took a sudden bound forward. More recently I was disappointed to see Kronos devote ... As we know, during these centuries mankind anxiously watched the behaviour of Venus and Mars, and the circular temples reflect the change of worship from Mother Earth to the threatening planets.

The intent of their paper was to demonstrate that differences between the Babylonian measurements of the invisibility periods of Venus and comparable modern measurements might indicate that the orbits ...

... their plasma sheaths overlap. Annis mentions that dinosaurs would be impossible in today's gravity, and is the subject of a talk to be given later by Ted Holden.

Dozens ... end of which was Doomsday, caused by the breakup of the Earth-Saturn system. Critics of the "Saturn Theory" suggest that there is no mechanism that could circularise the planets' orbits. Annis says that Donald Scott points out that plasma physics could help here, electrical attraction and repulsion could be the answer, which become effective when their ...

... , and hare (culled from a reference that I supplied) with finds of the bones of smaller creatures.(57) This, too, is something of a red herring, for no one seriously disputes the fact concerning the existence of skeletal remains of smaller species. It is the paucity of their complete bodies in a frozen state ... etc. because we do not have a clear, unambiguous record of exactly what took place and why. We can only speculate and argue about what would happen if two planets approached each other because we've never observed such an occurrence. Therefore we offer opinions based on our present understanding of physics or on analyses of ancient texts, myths, ...

... furnace, something is very, very wrong with our Sun. Is it possible that our Sun will not peacefully continue evolving as a main-sequence star, until it reaches the Red Giant stage? Maybe our Sun is not, after all, an ordinary star'." And the article concludes: "Perhaps the most frightening speculation along these ... Lowell Observatory astronomer G. W. Lockwood reported (Science 190, 560, 7 November 1975) on measurements of the sunlight reflected back toward the Earth from several outer planets of the solar system. Consistently, in observations extending from 1950 to1966 and renewed in 1972, "Brightness changes of Uranus and Neptune . . . were highly correlated ...
... brigands but failed in his efforts to seize Poltava; however, the "White" army of Anton Denikin succeeded in doing so. Poltava was thus terrorized by alternating "Red" and "White" currents of pogroms.

Hess, to revive and modify the Wegenerian scenario by suggesting plate tectonics (not Velikovsky's errant planets) as the motive force; by so doing, Hess provoked a genuine revolution in the earth sciences, analogous to the Copernican and Einsteinian revolutions in astronomy. But ...

... explanation', being remarkable only in their unusual intensity. But he rejected the usual explanation of the first plague, the Nile turning to blood (i .e . red marl brought down from the mountains of Abyssinia during the inundation). This discolouration was too familiar to cause any alarm, and never had the effect of killing the ... Moses (based on a forced interpretation of Numbers 24:7 ) is unconvincing in the extreme. Velikovsky also tries to link the Mayan 52-year cycle, associated with the planet Venus, with the Old Testament Jubilee, observed every fiftieth year (Leviticus 25:8ff). He explains the difference thus: "The Jews fasted and prepared ...
