13. Poleshift [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Dunbavin explains: "In recent decades, much evidence of Holocene climatic history has been accumulated from the study of ancient pollen.... The sequence of changes in the vegetation cover has been derived from analysis of the pollen preserved in the layers of ancient peat bogs.... "If in one layer we find that deciduous trees were the dominant vegetation, then it can be assumed that the climate was temperate and wet. If the layer immediately above is dominated by grasses than this probably indicates a transition to a drier climate. If the layer above that contains predominantly evidence of coniferous forests, then this would indicate a move to colder climate."16 The ...
... slenderness of their legs, and the agility and elegance of their forms. The camelopard was not gifted with a long flexible neck because it was destined to live in the interior of Africa, where the soil was arid and devoid of herbage ; but, being reduced by the nature of that country to support itself on the foliage of lofty trees, it contracted a habit of stretching itself up to reach the high boughs, until its neck became so elongated that it could raise its head to the height of twenty feet above the ground. Another line of argument is then entered upon, in farther corroboration of the instability of species. In order, it is said, that ...
15. Evidence of Careenings of the Globe [Books]
... not contain water. The grasses were dry. Therefore, it is reasoned, the beast was not drowned but perished in the super-hurricane and dust and dirt storm caused by the rapid movement of the earth's surface against the air in that particular area. The same winds, by their force and pressure, would have fiIled the air with the trees, animals, top soil, sand, gravel and debris, in which the animals were buried alive. Physicians have corroborated Mr. Tolmachoff's conclusion of suffocation; this conclusion, in turn, helps to establish the fact that these animals died through sudden mass extinction, and not by slow or individually separate deaths. Tolmachoff also states that ...

... are talking about the same thing, when actually they are talking about something different. He then builds up to some sweeping statement which is not justified by the facts.156 To drive home the point he adds: "Ginenthal has culled passages from several sources - Borisov, Pielou, and Charlesworth - on the northern limit reached by the tree line in Russia, Canada and Norway... He makes it sound as though there was a continuous strip of forest fronting on the Arctic Ocean right around the globe, which is not correct, and that the forest zone included such high Arctic Islands as Spitsbergen (from 76.5 to 80 degrees north latitude, which is ...
17. Maya Cosmos: A Saturnian Interpretation (Part II) [Journals] [Aeon]
... these continents for many millennia before the European peoples happened upon them and changed their lives forever." Maya Cosmos: Three Thousand Years on the Shaman's Path This essay is a continuation of my earlier paper about Maya beliefs of former world ages (creations) and some very specific imagery concerning those times, such as their sun gods and World Trees. [1 ] Freidel, Schele, and Parker's Maya Cosmos forms the major source of this essay, as it brings together some of the latest findings of Mayanists combined with excellent illustrative material. From this, it has been possible to augment what has become known as the Saturnian, or Polar, Configuration model. The basic facts ...
18. Ladder to Heaven [Journals] [Aeon]
... a kind of ladder on which all of them climbed up. They remained in the sky, to one side of the sun." [24] The Sikuani disclosure that the ancient sky was radically different in appearance from the one we are accustomed to viewing will be confirmed again and again during the course of this study. The World Tree Sacred narratives everywhere describe a previous World Age in which a colossal tree dominated the celestial landscape, joining heaven to earth. [25] By climbing this tree, primeval heroes were able to visit heaven and converse with the gods. A few examples should suffice to illustrate the fundamental affinity between the World Tree and ladder-to-heaven motifs. The ...
19. Tree Rings. Ch.11 Klimasturz (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... From "Earth in Upheaval" © 1955 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Tree Rings The annual rings of trees reveal whether in some particular year or period growth was stimulated or inhibited. The oldest trees on record are among the sequoias of California. Some of them measure ninety feet in circumference. Of all the specimens whose rings were counted, the most ancient started life after the year 1300 before the present era. (The age of the General Sherman tree in Sequoia National Park is not known, since it has not been cut down.) Thus it appears that no tree has survived to modern times from the days of the great catastrophe of the ...
20. Eden's Flaming Sword by Isaac Vail [Books]
... bands and belts, then, as we see today sailing forth in Jupiter's canopy, if seen in a favorable place from the planet's surface, would seem to be giant world "pillars of cloud", standing point downward on the east and west horizons. Each one, if seen as it passed overhead, would appear like a great tree stem made up of countless other stems that diverge and branch toward the zenith like a great celestial tree. We have seen something similar to this in the fanlike rays of the rising and setting sun. Now a canopy is simply made of bands, belts and lines, and it matters not from what part of a planet's surface one ...
