32. The Ages of Bristlecone Pine [Journals] [Pensee]
... Velikovsky Reconsidered IV" Home | Issue Contents The Ages of Bristlecone Pine Herbert C. Sorensen A plea for publication of data Dr. Sorensen, a chemist, is scientific adviser to the president of United Medical Laboratories, Portland, Oregon. Figure 1. Photo: U.S .D .A Forest Service For a number of years trees in excess of 4000 years of age have been reported and, quite naturally, there has been widespread interest in anything that could live to such an age (1 ). This interest is further heightened by the beauty of the subject- the bristlecone pines and their surroundings. These trees grow in the White Mountains of east-central California and have ...
33. Decades Of Darkness And Dendrochronology [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... 4 (1999) Home | Issue Contents PART IV Decades Of Darkness And Dendrochronology Charles Ginenthal "And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not" John I:1 In Part 3 of Mewhinney's paper he raises an important issue related to Velikovsky's thesis, namely decades of darkness: `Bristle cone pines are hardy trees but there is not the slightest reason to believe that they could survive such conditions as Velikovsky describes. In any case, it is not just a question of bristle cone pines. `By cross-matching records from nearby sites, dendrochronologists in western Europe have built up a continuous overlapping master chronology of oak trees covering more than 7,000 ...
34. The Queen of Sheba (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... he reigned over all the land from the river Euphrates to the land of the Philistines and the border of Egypt. The kings of Arabia paid him tribute, and presents were brought from near and far, vessels of silver and of gold, garments and spices, armor and horses. He made cedars in Jerusalem "to be as sycamore trees in the vale of abundance". He built a palace with a great throne of ivory, and a house of worship. Vessels therein were of gold; of gold were the drinking cups of his palace. Six hundred threescore and six talents of gold came yearly to his treasury as tribute, besides the income from the traffic of ...
35. The Ring of Truth by Isaac Vail [Books]
... best to speak to truth' ! THE RING OF TRUTH (Part 7) THE GREAT DRAGON, A VENERATED CANOPY SPIRIT by Isaac N. Vail As the question now stands, I feel compelled to make an excursion into the region of mythology, to render more intelligible the connection of the serpent with man's expulsion from Eden, with the tree of knowledge, and with the physical death of man. Among classic scholars, the serpent and the dragon are plainly one and the same, and when we come to consider this subject in all its bearings, it presents a most momentous problem. It has perplexed and staggered the thoughtful mind for centuries. The thought of dragons, ...
36. A Bit Creaky? - Tree Rings, Radiocarbon and Ancient History [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1991 (Vol XIII) Home | Issue Contents A Bit Creaky? - Tree Rings, Radiocarbon and Ancient History by Alasdair N. Beal A graduate of Glasgow University in 1975, Alasdair Beal is a consulting structural engineer based in Leeds. He has had several papers published on civil engineering design and the use of statistics and probability theory, as well as articles on a variety of non-engineering subjects. He became the Editor of C & C Workshop in 1991. Like it or not, students of ancient history, physicists and dendrochronologists (people who study tree rings) are now locked in dispute over their different interpretations of ancient history. ...
37. A World with One Season: Part II [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2001:2 (Sep 2001) Home | Issue Contents A World with One Season: Part II DWARDU CARDONA continued his talk on A World with One Season focussing on tree rings, and whether they always point to there being seasons with which they are associated. Apparently fossilized trees do not always show tree rings. Carboniferous trees lack rings, as do trees found in coal swaps. Trees found in the Permian period, and also in Canada, Europe and Asia often have weak tree rings. South American trees often have strong tree rings. In the Triassic period, and in the Amazon, there are found a mixture of trees both with ...
... of this type was caused by. some presently unexplained gradual change. (This gradual change appears to have occurred rather quickly, as far as geological time goes.) This explanation is not inherently better than other explanations, but does fit the uniformitarian concept. The bristlecone pine is considered the oldest living thing on earth. By using this tree, a calibration curve of real time vs. calculated time can be made for thousands of years. The process is based on the techniques and theories of tree-ring dating (dendrochronology) which have been developing since the early part of this century. Most people are familiar with this process. Anyone who ever chopped down a small tree or ...
39. The Ivory Islands. Ch.1 In the North (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... Ivory Islands The arctic coast of Siberia is cold, bleak, in-hospitable. The sea is passable for ships manoeuvring between floating ice for two months of the year; from September to the middle of July the ocean north of Siberia is fettered, an unbroken desert of ice. Polar winds sweep over the frozen tundras of Siberia, where no tree grows and the soil is never tilled. In his exploratory voyage on the ship Vega in 1878, Nils Adolf Erik Nordenskjöld, the first to traverse this northern seaway from one end to the other, travelled for weeks along the coast from Novaya Zemlya to Cape Shelagskoi (170o 30' East) on the eastern extremity of Siberia without ...
40. The Cosmic String of Pearls [Journals] [Aeon]
... a string of pearls. We should note that all these instances attest to the divergent symbolic expression of a single visual prototype. The string of pearls is invariably associated with the morphology and mythology of the world axis, constituting the segmented phase of the axis. Sometimes the beads or pearls are juxtaposed with the axis: they sit within a tree, climb a mountain, or hang down a rope symbolic of the axis. At other times, the beads or pearls physically constitute the axis itself. The String And The Tree The tree is perhaps the best-known symbol of the polar axis. What is less known is that this same world tree is frequently peopled by a group of ...
