... the limbs of Phyllis.15 And Festus, some 500 years before, said teres meant that which is in longitudine rotundatum, as Nature furnishes us asseres, which must here be understood as timber, straight tree-trunk, firpoles. The meaning given by Festus is most classic; and the connexion of the tower, the pillar, and the tree is not to be missed here. But fetes is always referred to tero (rub, here plane?), and turris is put with Anglo Saxon tort = rock. Tor, says Skeat, is in Devonshire a Celtic word for a conical hill, and it is soused in Limerick for Tory-Hill (see Tory-Island). This ...
132. Mythic Mountains by Isaac Vail [Books]
... that had not even the shadow of a peer on earth. "My Sanctuary" was a supernal thing. Ye shall reverence My sanctuary . . . I will bring your sanctuaries into desolation". (Leviticus 26: 2 and 21.) God's sanctuary was reared without hands and over it was hung the divine branches of the world tree - "the oak that was by the sanctuary of Jehovah". (Joshua 24:26.) We will have frequent occasion to refer to this heavenly tree and under many names, but in the end we will find that the canopy was the universe tree, whose roots were in the under world and whose branches sprung from ...
133. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... about the validity of currently accepted dating methods and their relevance to the many problems of both the orthodox chronology of the ancient world and revisionist schemes. Dr. Newgrosh ran briefly through the history of radiocarbon dating and how the first measured dates proved to be a little low but then the seemingly more accurate later datings, after calibration based on tree ring ages, proved to be high. Historians of European prehistory tended to accept these but Egyptologists etc. found reasons to reject them. Ironically, one such reason was that acceptance of the older dates would create an artificial 400 years Dark Ages at about 2300 BC'. However, rejection of bristlecone pine calibrated dates became more difficult ...

... flood would also have rushed southward. "I , on the other hand, would like to offer a different explanation for the conditions found in the Arctic area. Despite the supposed, and conflicting, dates of the remains in question, it is my honest opinion that the vast fields of broken bones mixed with sand, uprooted and smashed trees, and stones of various sizes, all frozen in muck, owe their occurrence to the same polar column which Jueneman himself had elsewhere described as a churning vortex of planetary proportions. [4 ] Although Jueneman did not mean his hypothesis to apply to the Saturnian configuration, it can easily be made to do so. And, in ...
135. The Norfolk Forest-bed. Ch.5 Tidal Wave (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... stratigraphic research has encountered exceptional difficulties," writes R. F. Flint, professor of geology at Yale University.1 In Cromer, Norfolk, close to the North Sea coast, and in other places on the British Isles, "forest-beds" have been found. The name derives from the presence of a great number of stumps of trees once supposed to have rooted and grown where they are now found. Many of the stumps are in upright positions, and their roots are often interlocked. Today these forests are recognized as having drifted: the roots do not end in small fibres, but are broken off, in most cases one to three feet from the trunk. ...
136. Thorium Enrichment in Crater Rims: Earth and Moon [Journals] [Aeon]
... Resources Department scientist, Richard Grieve:"On average I would say that one quarter of the known impact structures on the Earth have some sort of deposit associated with them." [17] The second anomaly is biological and recent. It concerns possible genetic anomalies associated with the Tunguska blast of 1908. [18] Research shows that trees, insects, and possibly even people, have been genetically changed near the center of the blast in question, as well as those who were living under the path followed by the devastating fireball. It has, for instance, been observed that trees which sprouted after the blast, as well as those which survived it, have grown ...
137. The North Sea. Ch.11 Klimasturz (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... along the Scottish and Norwegian shores, and also through the Channel that had been formed only a short while before. Human artifacts and bones of land animals were dredged from the bottom of the North Sea; and along the shores of Scotland and England, as well as on the Dogger Bank in the middle of the sea, stumps of trees with their roots still in the ground were found. Forty-five miles from the coast, from a depth of thirty-six metres, Norfolk fishermen drew up a spearhead carved from the antler of a deer, embedded in a block of peat.1 This artifact dates from the Mesolithic or early Neolithic Age and serves as one of many proofs that ...

... pressures rapidly and weakening the rock to cause a slippage and earthquake. This would start a chain reaction of the process, causing deep quakes at frequent intervals. One stretch of Oregon's coastline shows signs of repeated activity; raised sea levels due to the El Nino washed away sand and revealed an old forest floor of 2,000 year old tree stumps while further along the coast are stumps dated at 4,000 years, indicating large earth movements. The big chill New Scientist 14.8 .99, pp. 42-45, 24.7 .99, p. 6 Ice shelves around Antarctica are disappearing fast but, far from being an indication of global warming, this ...
... or polar sky-hole would be more or less oval or egg-shaped, or even top-shaped, according to the latitude. It would be an inverted mountain feature; a mountain standing on its apex. 5. From such a cosmic system of arches the falling vapors streamed inward and downward, during times of canopy declension. This process would make a tree figure, in a spinning attitude, its branches like the spokes of a giant wheel reaching out to a fiery rim. This tree would bear "golden fruit" or stars. As the enclosure in which it grew, gave humanity the first glimpse of the outer universe, the sky-hole became a source of information, a "fountain ...
140. An Unexplained Arctic Catastrophe – Part II: Some Unanswered Questions [Journals] [SIS Review]
... consistently chaotic composition of the permafrost deposits throughout its observed extent. 3. The preceding questions highlight further problems. For example, despite being well within the overall permafrost deposition region', the New Siberian Islands [10] must have remained partly if not wholly in statu quo during this traumatic disturbance, since the frozen upright trunks of unfossilised trees have been discovered there, still rooted to the equally refrigerated ground [11]. Similarly, perpetually frozen in situ tree-stumps, in some instances still accompanied by undecayed leaves and cones, were also noticed on Maloi, one of the Lyakhov Islands 100 miles or so to the south [12]. If massive water-action like that just ...
