... the Earth into an Ice Age. This last aspect underlines the importance of an apparently trivial temperature drop of several degrees. A survey of the climatological evidence from the end of the 3rd millennium BC now follows.

172. Velikovskian Catastrophes in the Revelation of St. John [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... will find familiar words in some passages of Revelation we will discuss: And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.[Revelation 6:12-14] Only one sentence I think will need some explanation: "And the heaven departed as a scroll ...
173. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Four [Books]
... erect the heavens, to fix the courses of the heavenly bodies, and finally to create mankind. All the details of the Seven Tablets conform readily to the same interpretation- viz. a primary creation myth. On the other hand, so far as I can see, at least, V's scenario has no real explanation for the family tree' of gods, and the friction between them, that leads up to the Marduk-Tiamat battle. But more importantly, we are not told in the tablets that this battle (supposedly the visitation of the Venus Comet, if V is correct) wiped out the human race, but rather that the human race subsequently regenerated itself. In ...
174. The After-Effects of Newton's Comet of 1680 AD [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , in 1966 and by 1977 had killed 50% of the elms. The Daily Express carried a story that the reason the elms were so susceptible to the disease was that they were nearly all 300 years old. James II, who came to the throne in 1685, had instituted a tree-planting programme, choosing quick-growing elms to replace the trees that had either been chopped down for the navy, or blown down by the big storm'. I wondered what might have caused the big storm'. As a mathematician then working on orbits, I turned to Manuel's Isaac Newton, Historian [1 ]and found a fascinating sentence: Comets were phenomena in whose progress God had ...
175. Celestial fireworks [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... bird descends from heaven with the first fire. Frame 10/17: the bird of heaven descends to the earth or to the underworld; the bright bird becomes black; the psychopomp leading the souls of the ancestors to the underworld; a giant rising from the waters of the deep or descending from heaven; growth of the inverted cosmic tree; the Hero who circumambulates the sacred place; the deity trapped in the coils of the dragon; the embryonic Hero moving about in the womb; the dance of heaven; a plague or a cloud of death spreads over the sacred place. Frame 11/17: descent of the bird of heaven amid death and catastrophe; the ...
176. Sin and the Control System [Journals] [Kronos]
... behavior that they had brought the catastrophes upon themselves. Is there any scriptural evidence to support this contention of Velikovsky? Genesis 2-3 passim: The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, "You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die.". . . So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the ...
177. A Catastrophic Reading of Western Cosmology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the successive victorious cosmologies, one sees great differences between them, but how different is the difference? Are they really different underneath? That, as Hamlet said, is the question! I think the answer depends on what we see as the ground, or, to use a different analogy: which is the forest and which are the trees? The trees of a forest live and die there. The trees always change, even bristlecone pines. If we concentrate on the trees, therefore, there is always difference. If, however, we look at the forest, we see that it never dies and therefore essentially it never changes. It is always a forest, ...
178. The Legends of the Jews: Volume II - Moses in Egypt [Books]
... Moses that He suffers along with Israel. Furthermore, Moses was taught that there is nothing in nature, not even the insignificant thorn-bush, that can exist without the presence of the Shekinah. Besides, the thorn-bush may be taken as the symbol for Israel in several respects. As the thorn- bush is the lowliest of all species of trees, so the condition of Israel in the exile is the lowliest as compared with that of all the other nations, but as the thorn-bush releases no bird that alights upon it without lacerating its wings, so the nations that subjugate Israel will be punished. Also, as a garden hedge is made of the thorn-bush, so Israel forms ...
... reasons for the belief that the basaltic flow related to that period was also accompanied by the till and boulder-clay. It seems in addition highly likely that this tremendous event coincided with the sinking of forests and the carbonisation of them into coal in certain parts of Britain including Lanarkshire and Ayrshire, and the formation of amber, the petrified sap of trees of the same epoch. Nearly three thousand species of insects, many extinct, are found embedded in amber, having been imprisoned in the sap exuded from the trees, split by fire and electric waves, and into which the insects in a state of panic flew and were caught, the sap itself being rapidly petrified. Amber was ...
180. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... extinct within a few thousand years. Among the many postulated causes, the most likely appears to be associated with huge outpourings of volcanic magma known as the Siberian traps'. The volcanic gases could have led to acid rain and climate change. Fungal remains in sediments from the period around the world indicate that the Earth was covered in rotting trees; traces of ancient river beds in South Africa show that the area changed from being well-vegetated to scant vegetation and in Europe conifers were replaced by primitive lycopods which could only live in wet places. Whereas plants recovered by 100,000 years after the Cretaceous catastrophe, it took 5 Myrs for recovery after the Permian wipe-out. An extra-terrestrial ...
