... or 1300y) in 5000 y, the maximum age of historical' samples. The difficulty with this conclusion, however, was that there was still considerable uncertainty in the historical specimens used in the application of Test (2 ). Furthermore, Libby [1963] has since pointed out serious discrepancies in his historical calibration. There are four tree ring examples in the seventeen historical specimens so far used in this test. The tree ring counts of these specimens were 878, 1375, 1370, and 2928. Libby's method dated them at 880, 1400, 1402 80 and 2710 130 y, respectively. (The first two examples were not listed in Libby's tables of radiocarbon dating ...

84. What Was "Brimstone"? [Journals] [Kronos]
... in the lakes of India which, when burned, emits a musky odor. Galbanum is a pleasantly aromatic gum resin derived from certain umbelliferous plants. Frankincense (from the Old French for "pure incense"), as used by the Jews, Greeks, and Romans, was a gum resin now called olibanum which was derived from certain trees of the genus boswellia found growing on the limestone of South Arabia and Somaiiland. Thus, three of the four ingredients in the incense burned on the golden altar were gum resins. Gum resins are mixtures of gum and resin obtained from plants or trees by incision. Resins burn readily because they contain volatile oils. When the angel of ...
85. Astronomical Theories and Ice Ages [Articles]
... those mammoths. That's just one example. Let me quote a bit from my book. A chap called Wentworth Day wrote a book on the history of the Fens, fascinating book, if you can get hold of it. He devotes one chapter to the problems of the buried forests, as he calls them. He says there are trees buried from one to four feet in the peat soil of the Fenland. The trees, he claims, lie in their millions. Incidentally, he lives there, he is a farmer there, he knows all about these things because he has to dig them out to do his farming. He says that they cover an area of ...
... destroyed? Had not this been a far easier thing; and more compendious than the great preparations he made of a large vessel, with rooms, for the reception and accommodation of beasts and birds? And now I mention birds, why could not they at least have flown into the next dry country? They might have perch'd upon the trees, and the tops of the mountains by the way, to have rested themselves if they were weary, for the waters did not all of a sudden rise to the mountains tops. I cannot but look upon the Deluge as a much more considerable thing than these authors would represent it, and as a kind of dissolution of nature ...

... which is seven years old. It's a piece of petrified tree-stump which you can read about in SIS REVIEW, current edition- when it comes off the press- and this piece was part of a larger system of roots which were in the ground and were cut off in a cut for power lines, they cut off all the small trees for this high-voltage power line which had been installed and for some reason after it was activated, the power line broke and fell on some tree stumps which were sticking out of the ground about that far, freshly killed trees. And the effect of the electricity was to burn off all the tree above the ground and leave a remainder ...
88. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Two [Books]
... happy you, and highly favoured of the Gods, who now live! Into what an age of the world are you fallen who share and enjoy among you a plentiful portion of good things! What abundance of things spring up for your use! What fruitful vineyards you enjoy! What wealth you gather from the fields! What delicacies from trees and plants, which you may gather: You may glut and fill yourselves without being polluted. As for us, we fell upon the most dismal and affrighting part of titan, in which we were exposed by our first production to manifold and inextricable wants and necessities. As yet the thickened air concealed the heaven from our view, ...
89. Radiocarbon Dating The Extinction [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... this dating method. The pollen analysis categorically proves that the arctic region was an uninhabitable, frozen desert for megaherbivores all during the last 30,000 years of the Pleistocene. This is based on dating of varves (layers in lakes) that can be counted well back into the Ice Age. This varve evidence proves that neither grass nor trees nor large mammals lived in the far north up until about 8,000 years ago. However, the radiocarbon dating says exactly the opposite. Now either the radiocarbon dating method is wrong or the varve method of dating is wrong. However, though the varves in one lake can be in error by a few hundred to even several ...
90. Sean Mewhinney's Critique Based On Bombastic Subterfuge, Evasion And Denial [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... they simply were not. Thus, the retro-calculations of ancient eclipses were an exercise that embarrassed these individuals who claimed that they were experts on these matters. Nevertheless, other records of the past have been called upon to perform the very same type of debunking of Velikovsky as had ancient eclipses. In particular ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica and tree rings could do the same job only if they were corroborated by solid supporting evidence, similar to that time and place for eclipses. That is all dating systems require, or better yet demand independent corroboration by other processes or phenomena. That, in fact, is the heart of good science. If a dating system is contradicted by ...
