... . 1 Diagram showing the production of Carbon 14 and its distribution. It is assumed that only 7.5kg of C14 is produced globally each year by cosmic ray activity and that its rate of disintegration equals the rate of production. The variations in this rate of production give rise to the correction curve - but this has been calculated on tree rings growing at an altitude of 10,000 feet. A further problem is that of fractionation - i.e . the incomplete exchange of C14 between the atmosphere and the oceans. Bien et al (1963) showed that ocean water between 40 S and 40 N had an age difference of about 400 years. Neither is the ...
102. On Dragons and Red Dwarves [Journals] [Aeon]
... called "the liberation of the Sun-God from his Mountain Grave." (14) Occasionally the motive of the sun's deliverance from darkness may be divorced from the context of the dragon-combat. In Southern India, for example, Murukan replaces Indra as deliverer of the sun, (15) although there the eclipsing agent is depicted as a great tree: In the Tamil myth of Cur, the cosmic tree is not a Tree of Life but a Tree of Death, a dangerous embodiment of uncontrolled power which has upset the proper workings of the universe. Like Vrtra in the Vedic creation myth, it is a force opposed to order, filling and blocking the space necessary for creation ...
103. Basinger's Lecture on the Eocene Forests of the Canadian High Arctic [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... volcanics, with deposits often right on top of Palaeozoic rocks. Fossil plants are most abundant in mid to late Palaeocene to possibly early Eocene strata. The botanist looks for coaly layers interbedded with rocky ribs'. In this region's early Tertiary forests, the Metasequoia was dominant. The plant community was akin to today's cypress swamp in Florida. Trees were deciduous, with the plants often forming coal deposits. Plant life was similar from Alberta to Ellesmere Island; there was remarkable uniformity on both sides of the Arctic Circle. Fossil plant discoveries included birch-like plants, members of the elm, walnut, sycamore, and ginger families, cedar, rare pines and horsetail ferns. As for ...
104. Arctic Muck [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 4 No 1 (1998) Home | Issue Contents Arctic Muck Charles Ginenthal The muck deposits of Alaska and Siberia are made up of gravel, soil, clay, tiny particles of many minerals, and organic matter made up of grasses, mosses, trees and vast numbers of extinct and extant animal bones.120 It appears quite clearly to be a flood sediment because it lies directly over gravel beds. That is, the heaviest materials tend to lie at the bottom of the muck beds and the lighter ones tend to lie above it. Henry Howorth long ago understood that the nature of this ring of material encircling the Arctic Ocean was indicative of ...
... to make a strong resistance on all occasions of war; for the Galileans are inured to war from their infancy, and have been always very numerous; nor hath the country been ever destitute of men of courage, or wanted a numerous set of them; for their soil is universally rich and fruitful, and full of the plantations of trees of all sorts, insomuch that it invites the most slothful to take pains in its cultivation, by its fruitfulness; accordingly, it is all cultivated by its inhabitants, and no part of it lies idle. Moreover, the cities lie here very thick, and the very many villages there are here are every where so full of ...
106. Making Moonshine with Hard Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... a discus awfully £ar.) Excerpts from The Spurious Journal of Kakrates Tablet A. My friend Mikelson and I were drinking a bit heavily last night and I bet him that I could produce a good all-purpose calendar without the resources of a holy temple at my disposal. From a window of my house, I can see a skinny tree on the eastern horizon that I can use for orientation. Tablet B. I have observed the sunrise every day. I noted that after 365.25 days (or was it 365.24 or 365.26?)* the rim of the sun peeks up at the edge of the tree again from the left or north ...
107. Evidence for the Marine Deposition of Coal [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a catastrophist theory of rapid coal formation, graphically described in Earth in Upheaval (1956), chapter xiii, "Coal": "Apparently the coal was not formed in the ways described. Forests burned, a hurricane uprooted them, and a tidal wave or succession of tidal waves coming from the sea fell upon the charred and splintered trees and swept them into great heaps, tossed by the billows, and covered them with marine sand, pebbles and shells, and weeds and fishes; another tide deposited on top of the sand more carbonised logs, threw them into heaps, and again covered them with marine sediment. The heated ground metamorphosed the charred wood into coal . ...
108. KA [Books]
... a statue of Attus, with his head covered. [12] Cicero mentions a rather similar occurrence. Numerius Suffustius of Praeneste, acting on a dream, split open a flint rock. Oak lots with carvings in ancient letters emerged, "sortes in robore insculptas priscarum litterarum notis." Honey is said to have flowed from an olive tree at the same place [13]. The authority of the augur was great. "Quae augur iniusta, nefasta vitiosa dire defnerit, irrita infectaque sunto." What the augur marks as unjust, impious, harmful or inauspicious, let it be invalid and of no effect [14]. The names of the augur Attus Navius ...
109. Ice Cores and Common Sense (Part II) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... et al. comparing features in the oxygen isotope profiles from Dye 3 and Camp Century (" A New Greenland Deep Ice Core." Science, December 24, 1982, pp. 1275-76). The citation follows this assertion: . . . it would at first glance appear that ice cores are free of the correlation problems that beset tree rings and glacial varves. There are indeed some correlations between different cores; but there are also so many non-correlations that certain features of the individual ice cores have had to be attributed to local conditions of various sorts.9 The comparison with tree rings and clay varves is really not particularly apt. Dansgaard et al. were comparing major ...
110. The Celestial Tower [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... points to the Orkneys as the original setting of the Gorgon/Balor myth. If the plasma pillar emanated from the North Pole, an observer on the headlands of northern Scotland would have seen it as being situated in the archipelago. Since the dragon Lotan is also the same as Ladon, the serpent which entwined itself around the sacred apple tree in the Garden of the Hesperides, this would indicate that the Tree of Life, or World Tree, is another manifestation of the tower. It could be that at certain times the uppermost parts of the plasma pillar put forth great branch-like sparks, and it seems that even the words tree' and tower' (Old English torr ...
