... paraphrased way, by Peter J. James in his review of Ever Since Darwin (KRONOS VII:4 , pp. 26-27). - LMG] ON POLAR SHIFTS AND THE METEOR SHOWER OF -687 In a note following my "Postscript" (KRONOS VII:3 , p. 88), Lynn E. Rose maintains that if Velikovsky had seen an Indian celestial chart "that put the celestial equator within a few degrees of the zenith of, say, Calcutta, that would have been more than sufficient for his purposes", namely to place the former terrestrial north pole near Baffin Island. But a chart with such a notation would tell us only the latitude of ...
492. On the Placement of Haremhab: A Critique of Gammon [Journals] [Kronos]
... . Carlucci A recent issue of the SIS Review (III:2 ) contained an article by Geoffrey Gammon entitled "The Place of Horemheb in Egyptian History". In that article, Gammon put forth a case for linking Haremhab to the end of the Eighteenth Dynasty, assigning him an absolute date of ca. 822-814 B.C . Velikovsky, on the other hand, has dated Haremhab to the years 702-687 B.C . while conventional dating places Haremhab in the latter part of the fourteenth century B.C . Gammon's proposal was offered as part of "some tentative beginnings of an alternative Glasgow chronology' ", to use the words of Peter James,(1 ...
493. Stiebing, BAR, and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... Prof. Stiebing refused, despite two written requests, to allow his letter to Whelton to be printed either in part or in toto. His excuse was that "it was written in haste and, I'm ashamed to say, in anger" This is rather strange posturing from one who had had no previous hesitation in writing published criticism of Velikovsky nor any qualms about penning an introduction to BAR's reprint of Carl Sagan's "An Analysis of Worlds In Collision" in its Jan./Feb. 1980 issue (pp. 41 ff.). Why Stiebing, the out spoken critic, should have been angered is also an interesting question. Obviously, the scholarly strength of his ...
494. The SIS, its history and achievements: a personal perspective [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Upheaval because, after all, I'd had arguments with teachers about fossils and things. On reading Earth in Upheaval through I was hooked. It answered a lot of questions: both books did, so where could I find out more information? This was, as I have said, the mid-1960s, long before anything was happening on the Velikovsky scene. The only person I could discuss these matters with was my wife and fortunately she had a reasonably open mind and she agreed with me that there was something in what Velikovsky had written. So, how do we find out more information? We could not ring up the SIS or Pensee or Kronos because they didn't exist. ...
495. Shamir [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a traditional attribute of the Lord that had become garbled, its real cometary nature/ origin lost to the editors. The cloud of light or fire has been interpreted by some as UFO phenomena (something to consider if the cloud really followed the Israelites around) and something associated with increased ionisation in the atmosphere. In the pages of Kronos Velikovsky claimed that in the Talmud and Midrashim there are many references to the mysterious shamir which was capable of disintegrating stone, while in rabbinical literature it was associated with engraving the ephod or breastplate of the High Priest, a peculiar thing to do in the Sinai desert. High Priests are a feature of settled communities - an ephod is a ...
496. On the Survival of Velikovsky's Thesis in 'Ages in Chaos' [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Proceedings of The Third Seminar of Catastrophism and Ancient History (1986) Home | Issue Contents On the Survival of Velikovsky's Thesis in Ages in Chaos Donovan A. Courville It was apparent to Velikovsky himself that if his thesis in Ages in Chaos[1 ] was to survive, it was going to be necessary to define a satisfactory method for considering the chronology of the late Egyptian dynasties to meet the forward movement of the earlier dynasties by some 500 years. In the last chapter of his volume he had promised that such a reconstruction would be forthcoming in a subsequent publication. The fact that 25 years elapsed before the promised work appeared suggests that the task turned out ...
497. Tutankhamen and Assyrian Art [Articles]
... Transcript from the Princeton Seminar: Velikovsky: The Decade Ahead Tutankhamen and Assyrian Art Lewis Greenberg "One of the things I would like to say first of all, is the work of Dr. Velikovsky will continue to appear in the pages of KRONOS. The latest issue does contain material that will ultimately appear in The Assyrian Conquest. The future issues contain both scientific and historical material so there is no shortage there. To the best of my knowledge, and I don't say this with pride, I say this with disappointment, I still believe that I am probably the only art historian who has come out publicly on the side of Dr. Velikovsky If there are any ...
498. On Morrison: Some Further Remarks [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. IV No. 2 (Winter 1978) "Scientists Confront Scientists Who Confront Velikovsky" Home | Issue Contents On Morrison: Some Further Remarks Ralph E. Juergens In November 1973, Dr. David Morrison, then of the Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii, submitted a paper titled "Astronomical Evidence For and Against Recent Planetary Catastrophism" to the journal Pensee. Morrison's paper was criticized by Pensee's editorial staff (now affiliated with KRONOS) and revised accordingly. After undergoing revision, the paper was presented at the symposium - "Velikovsky and the Recent History of the Solar System" - held at McMaster University, June 1974. Additional criticism engendered ...
499. Velikovsky's Place in the History of Science [Articles]
... than scientists find of interest. That's a long introduction to a brief conclusion as to Velikovsky's place in the history of science: he is well remembered in the historians' history-of- science, in the interpreters' historyof-science; but not in the scientists' story of what has happened in science. The evidence of this is quite straightforward: Velikovsky features in the literature of the history, philosophy, and sociology of science, not in the literature of science itself. Another necessary distinction is that between individual learning and the collective knowledge of humankind. We honor effective teachers for stimulating individual learning, though very few teachers contribute anything new to humankind's collective understanding. That's why we deplore ...
500. For the Record ... [Journals] [Kronos]
... I No. 3 (Fall 1975) Home | Issue Contents For the Record .. .In one of those catchy doomsday articles imaginatively titled "Doomsday", the October 1975 issue of Science Digest noted "13 ways the earth could be destroyed." Item No. 6 on p. 62- Plummeting Planets'- referred specifically to Immanuel Velikovsky and summarized the whole of Worlds in Collision in approximately fifty words. Velikovsky "maintains that Venus originally was a comet cast off from Jupiter; that it made several close passes to the earth starting about 1500 B.C ., leaving plague and swarms of flies in its wake; that Venus actually collided with Mars, causing the ...
