... if Spitsbergen, almost one thousand miles inside the Arctic Circle, for some unknown reason had the warm climate of the French Riviera on the Mediterranean, still these thick forests could not have grown there, because the place is six months in continuous night. The rest of the year the sun stands low over the horizon. Not only fossil trees and coal but corals, too, were found there. Corals grow only in tropical water. In the Mediterranean, in the climate of Egypt or Morocco, it is too cold for them. But they grew in Spitsbergen. Today large formations of coral covered with snow can be seen. It does not solve the problem of their ...
192. The Myth of the Goddess, Evolution of an image by Anne Baring and Jules Cashford [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of a butterfly looks to me more like the Cretan double axe and a fish goddess could just as well be a disillusioned owl. It is when the authors cannot resist fast-forwarding into later Egyptian or Greek examples that their Neolithic interpretations seem most inadequate. By the time the book turns to the megalithic cultures the goddess is seen associated with the tree of life, bulls' horns and sky worship. The last is still viewed only in terms of Moon cycles and the regular rhythms of the heavens associated with vegetation cycles on Earth. Already the images of the goddess are becoming far too complex to be explained in the simple terms of an earth mother so the authors have to resort ...
... could awaken to activity. MOUNT SOUFRIERE, SHOWING CRATERAL LAKE MONTE SOMMA, VESUVIUS, WITH CRATERAL WALLS MT. PELEE, MARTINIQUE. SHORTLY AFTER THE ERUPTION, 1902 Vesuvius, during the period mentioned, lay in like condition. Its cavity or crater decomposed, it was highly fertile, was largely cultivated with farms, vineyards, and fruit trees, when an eruption broke out and the crater collapsed, together with all or nearly all living on it. Again it relapsed into solfatara, and was again cultivated, all memories of its past were effaced and so continued for 232 years, until 1538, when a portion of the old crater erupted, or rather a new crater ...
194. Pole-Shift [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... muck is packed with bones and debris- in trainload lots. Bones of mammoth, mastodon, several kinds of bison, horses, wolves, bears, and lions tell a story of rich faunal population. The Alaskan muck is like a fine, dark-gray sand. Within this matrix, frozen solid, lie the twisted parts of animals and trees, intermingled with lenses of ice and layers of peat and mosses. It looks as though, in the midst of some cataclysmic catastrophe of ten thousand years ago, the whole Alaskan world of living animals, plants, and humans was suddenly frozen in mid-motion- a grim charade. Throughout Alaska the gnawing currents of rivers have eaten into ...
195. The Hail of Stones, Part 1 Venus Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the field" (Exodus 9:21). Similarly, the Egyptian eyewitness: "Cattle are left to stray, and there is none to gather them together. Each man fetches for himself those that are branded with his name."(3 ) Falling stones and fire made the frightened cattle flee. Ipuwer also wrote: "Trees are destroyed .. . .. No fruits, no herbs are found," "Grain has perished on every side," "That has perished which yesterday was seen. The land is left to its weariness like the cutting of flax."(4 ) In one day fields were turned to wasteland. In the Book ...
196. Monitor. C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the tropics but now some studies have shown that life went on as normal, casting grave doubt on the theory. The simple solution to glaciers in the tropics' is, of course, pole shift (see below). Other evidence for pole shifts are all the Arctic anomalies, which are parallelled by Antarctic ones. Stumps of deciduous trees found in Antarctica, related to those which grew in South America, Africa, India and Australia, are dated to 270 Myrs ago when Antarctica was supposed to be as far south as it is now but the nearest living trees are 2000 miles away. Even closer in time, ocean floor sediments and lake sediments indicate that Antarctica was ...
197. The Temple in Jerusalem (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... , were transplanted to Egypt: All plants that grow, all flowers that are in God's land which were found by his majesty, when his majesty proceeded to Upper Retenu.46 As in the Punt bas-reliefs of Hatshepsut, this land is called God's Land (Divine Land). Following the peaceful expedition of Hatshepsut, when only thirty-one almug trees were transferred to the soil of Egypt, the tribute-collecting expedition of Thutmose III transferred entire botanical collections. These collections are reproduced on the walls of the Karnak temple, showing various and peculiar shapes of the flora of Palestine some twenty-eight and a half centuries ago. A zoological collection was also taken along; no inscription mentions it, but ...
198. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... III A1 is contemporary with Tuthmosis III, then Amenophis III is also his contemporary, which does not make any sense, since their accessions were ninety-three years apart." Eocene Climate Puzzle source: New Scientist 10.12.87, p.28 The Eocene Period was an unusual one, with subtropical climate at the poles (subtropical trees and the presence of alligators) and a much cooler than present climate at the tropics! One explanation put forward was that the oceans transported far more heat to the poles than they do now. The atmospheric circulation required for this depends on a good temperature differential, which there was not. And the lack of wind speed has been ...

... it white sandstone, some red Nubian sandstone. This was taken in August, the hottest time of the year, but even then some vegetation manages to grow, there is water trapped just beneath the surface.- These Nubian sandstone pillars are a feature of the area, they are known traditionally as "Solomon's Pillars".- Acacia trees and camels are quite common, so even though it looks quite dry, it can sustain life.- A closer view of these strange sandstone formations which are really quite impressive. Glueck found these traces of copper mining which consisted of mines themselves and slag piles and on a combined basis of historical probability and the pottery that he found ...
200. Quantalism: The Big Picture [Journals] [Aeon]
... internal to the individual as well as external, occurring between individuals within a group. Among mammals, one of the conditions most widely accepted as being pathological is musth among elephants. Musth is a state of agitation, commonest among mature adult males in the rutting season, in which some become "rogue elephants," attacking other elephants, trees, houses, and even locomotives. [23] All felines, but especially smaller cat species, exhibit a jumpiness out of keeping with their prowess as predators. This hypersensitivity is well expressed by the common locution "nervous as a cat." ". .. it is quite appropriate to speak of maternal, filial, and ...
