... when it was either warmer or colder there. Then I will explicate the evidence in terms of Velikovsky's poleshift theory. To give credit where credit is due, Howorth fully understood that large mammoths and other megaherbivores could not have lived on tundra vegetation stating: "The larger portion of North Siberia is now a naked tundra, on which no tree will grow; swept by terrible icy winds, and covered with moss, sprinkled with a few humble flowers. On such feeding-ground it is physically impossible, as has been said, that elephants and rhinoceroses could exist. They cannot graze close to the ground like oxen. They live on the foliage and small branches of trees, and ...
42. Anomalous Occurrence of Crocodilia in Eocene Polar Forests [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Flora der Polarlander. Heer identified 136 species of fossil plants from Spitsbergen (79 degrees north latitude [NL]) which he ascribed to the Tertiary Age, including pines, firs, spruces, cypresses, elms, hazels and water lilies. There were Tertiary fig palms blooming within the Arctic Circle; forests of Sequoia gigantea, the giant tree of California, grew from Bering Strait to north of Labrador. The dilemma posed by these fossils was noted some time ago: "It is difficult to imagine any possible conditions of climate in which these plants could grow so near the pole, deprived of sunlight for many months of the year." [4 ] Even the geophysical ...
43. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Six [Books]
... dark, and evil spirits ran riot throughout the world. Now eight millions of gods, embarrassed and confused, assembled in front of the cave, and consulted among themselves how the light might be restored. As the result of their consultation, many things of divine efficacy were produced, such as mirrors, swords, and cloth offerings. Trees were set up and decorated with jewels; cocks were brought that they might keep up perpetual crowing; bonfires were lighted; and a dance was performed by a goddess called Uzume, with merry musical accompaniment. The curious dance of Uzume so amused all the assembled gods that their laughter filled the air and made the earth tremble. The ...
44. Coal. Ch.13 Collapsing Schemes (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... From "Earth in Upheaval" © 1955 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Coal Coal is found in layers that are ascribed to various ages mainly on the basis of fossils found in them. Brown coal is a compacted mass of plant remains. Lignite is made chiefly out of trees only partially converted into coal. Soft or bituminous coal is brittle and of bright lustre and contains sulphur; its organic nature can sometimes be seen under a lens, and the plants that participated in its formation can be recognized by leaves in the shales on top of the coal bed. Anthracite or hard coal is metamorphosed bituminous coal. The plants that went into the formation of ...
45. Carbon 14 Dates and Velikovsky's Revision of Ancient History [Journals] [Pensee]
... that the samples, not the tests, must have been at fault. The first set of samples was from short-lived material and the outer part of a log, while the second set consisted solely of wood from constructional beams. An explanation for their "erroneously old C14 dates" was required. The wood was studied, the species of trees involved were determined, the growth rings measured and counted, and the answer finally became obvious. A " physical' problem" was now recognized and "emphasized": "only the outer growth layers of a tree will represent the time of the cutting of the tree and usually the date of construction of a building" (40 ...
46. Anno Domini Anomalies [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... another solar eclipse – and specifically states that in that year the stars were invisible. As modern calculations show that no eclipse took place in northern Europe in those years it has become common to suppose Bede borrowed the tradition from a Byzantine source. However, a problem remains as the years between AD 536-545 are defined by a series of narrow tree rings. The most obvious reason for restricted growth during summer months is a dust laden atmosphere – obscuring the sun and its warmth. Hence, we have two opposites – and the mystery deepens as these two are the only eclipses recorded in the Anglo Saxon Chronicle [1 ] (or portentous natural events of any kind). At ...
47. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1992 No 2 (Jan 1993) Home | Issue Contents Letters Double Tree Rings Dear Sir, Following his request for information on trees on p. 4 of last Workshop, Bob Porter has asked me to write up what I remember of a phenomenon that occurred in my early childhood, although I am afraid it may not be sufficiently scientific to be of use. At Aldershot (Hants) there was an avenue of horse chestnut trees between the barrack squares and leading to the military church known to me only as the Red Church', alongside which was an equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington, after whom the avenue was named ...

He distinguished between marine formations and those of a fluviatile char- * Osserv. sugli Animali aquat. e terrest. 162fi. . 24 STENO. SCILLA. [Cn. ITI acter, the last containing reeds, grasses, or the trunks and branches of trees. He argued in favor of the original horizontality of sedimentary deposits, attributing their present inclined and vertical position sometimes to the escape of subterranean vapors heaving the crust of the earth from below upwards, and sometimes to the falling in of masses overlying subterranean cavities. He declared that he had obtained proof that Tuscany must successively have acquired six ...

... evidence for and evidence against the concept. In essence, the Milankovich theory is becoming another entrenched scientific dogma. There is another method of dating the past: carbon-14 to carbon-12 ratios in the annual growth bands of corals. However, pre-1950, when atomic bomb tests produced additional carbon-14 in the atmosphere, it was found that coral ring and tree ring data disagreed substantially with one another. Even coral ring carbon ratios from close contact areas, such as Bermuda and the Florida Keys, differ substantially with each other. It has been suggested that deep sea, non-atmospheric upwelling of deep ocean water could account for these discrepancies. However, there is no upwelling of deep ocean water at ...
