... eau Ciroulus eanotornm Apostolorunt, John the Baptist fitly taking the place of Aquarius to complete the circle. Sir William Drummond, in the 17th century, turned its constellations into a dozen Bible patriarchs; the Reverend G. Townsend made of them the twelve Caesars; and there have been other fanciful changes of this same character. Indeed, the Tree of Life in the Apocalypse has been thought a type of the zodiac, as bearing twelve manner of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. Probably every nation on earth has had a solar zodiac in some form, generally one of animals. Even in Rhodesia, the aboriginal Mashona 7 Land of South Africa, there has recently been ...
62. From the Death of David to the Death of Ahab [Books]
... above those who were most eminent among the Hebrews at that time for shrewdness; those I mean were Ethan, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol. He also composed books of odes and songs a thousand and five, of parables and similitudes three thousand; for he spake a parable upon every sort of tree, from the hyssop to the cedar; and in like manner also about beasts, about all sorts of living creatures, whether upon the earth, or in the seas, or in the air; for he was not unacquainted with any of their natures, nor omitted inquiries about them, but described them all like a philosopher, ...

... he spoke the language (an African interpreter to go to Israel?). In a wooden hut he lays out trinkets which are exchanged for the local goods that are shown to be loaded on to the ships. Where is there any evidence that Punt is a land with cities? The goods they bring back include (apart from 31 trees that have been translated as incense trees) incense in bags, ivory, ebony, precious metals, precious stones, furs and even living wild animals (leopards and monkeys). All these things would probably have also been available in the Holy Land, because they traded with the countries that produced them, but would the Phoenicians, ...
64. Still Facing Many Problems [Journals] [Kronos]
... scientists have opposed him so tenaciously. Unfortunately, many of these reasons, often based on information developed since Velikovsky wrote his books, have never been discussed in Velikovskian forums or have never been discussed in a fully informed manner. Examples of the former include the Worzel Ash, ice cores, and plate tectonics. Examples of the latter include tree rings, ice age dynamics, geomagnetism, and cosmic electricity. Most often, spokesmen for mainstream science such as Sagan, Asimov, Gardner, and Oberg have not expressed their criticisms using valid arguments but, rather, tend to substitute polemic, ridicule, and caricature for serious discussion. The resulting performances are riddled with errors and are ...
65. In Alaska. Ch.1 In the North (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... AVAILABLE Contents CHAPTER I - IN THE NORTH In Alaska IN Alaska, to the north of Mount McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America, the Tanana River joins the Yukon. From the Tanana Valley and the valleys of its tributaries gold is mined out of gravel and "muck." This muck is a frozen mass of animals and trees. F. Rainey of the University of Alaska described the scene1: "Wide cuts, often several miles in length and sometimes as much as 140 feet in depth, are now being sluiced out along stream valleys tributary to the Tanana in the Fairbanks District. In order to reach gold-bearing gravel beds an over-burden of frozen silt or muck ...
... these representations of the Swastika have relation to a human cult indicating a supreme being filled with goodness toward man, The sun, stays, etc., indicate him as a god of light, This, in connection with the idol of Venus, with its triangular shield engraved with a Swastika (fig,125), and the growing trees and palms, with their increasing and multiplying branches and leaves, represent to him the idea of fecundity, multiplication, increase, and hence the god of life as well its of light. The swastika sign on funeral vases indicates to him a belief in a divine spirit in turn which lives after death, and hence he concludes that ...

68. Isotopic Anomalies in Chronometric Science [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , since the surge is indicative of a sudden enhanced neutron flux, which is characteristic of a thermo-nuclear event (8 ). Similar measurements on 1909 tree-rings from Trondheim in Norway, geographically nearer the site of the blast, show no such surge, however. A further geographical divergence is apparently evidenced by tree-ring Cl4 in the New Zealand Kauri Tree (Agathis Australis) (9 ), where rings from ca. 1000 AD have been analysed. The Kauri results show an older age than the Bristlecone pine ages by about a century (that is, they contain even less C14 than the Bristlecone Pine rings, which contain less than expected on the conventional C14 dating basis). ...

... Sneferu), from the Middle Kingdom (Sesostris III) and from the Ptolemaic ages were analyzed. The pieces of Sesostris (three tests' average) showed the age of 3621 with an error margin both ways of 180 years, or 1720 before the common era, with the chance that Sesostris III's reign (or properly the time the tree was cut) can be brought as low as -1540. As you know I place the end of the Middle Kingdom at ca. -1500, and Sesostris III was not the last king of Middle Kingdom (there must have been also a succession of lesser known kings of the 13th Dynasty). In short, the date of the ...
70. Still Facing Unfair Criticism (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... : Kronos Vol. XII No. 3 (Spring 1988) Home | Issue Contents Vox Populi Still Facing Unfair Criticism To the Editor of KRONOS: In his two installments of "Still Facing Many Problems" (KRONOS X: I, X: 3), C. Leroy Ellenberger believes that the evidence he presented in the sections on tree rings, ice cores, and sea level - among others - is so cogent that any further calculations or considerations of Velikovsky's theses of global catastrophes in historical times would be of "academic interest" only. So let us look at the evidence presented in these three sections. TREE RINGS The fact that some bristlecone pine trees were found ...
