... - by means of electrical discharge, ultraviolet radiation, sudden heating, and (most effectively) shock waves. And, on pp. 146-152, he deals arrestingly with the most topical of all matters relating to catastrophism: the likelihood of wide-spread physical disturbances on Earth in the near future. Noting that both earthquakes and volcanic eruptions increase every seven years, when our planet's two librations, the Annual Wobble and the Chandler Wobble, coincide, he warns that 1985 should be a rocky year for us. Combining this observation with John Gribbin's prediction of a peaking of seismic stress in conjunction with planetary syzygy, or alignment, in 1982, we may well wish to avoid such seismically ...
512. Pole Shifts And The Arctic Ocean Ice Cover [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... of the main area of Arctic ice receded toward the pole by some hundred miles" I also cited Clyde Orr, Jr. in "ICE", page 73 regarding the same period, who claimed "Spitsbergen's Harbour used to be icebound from October through June [nine months and ice free for three months]; now it is open seven months a year."96 Thus, with a 1oF, 0.6oC rise in temperature over about 40 years the edge of the Arctic Ocean's ice cover retreated toward the pole some hundreds of miles and the winter period of ice cover which had lasted nine months was reduced to five months but open for seven months. Mewhinney wishes ...
513. In Passing [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , apparently, in a car park and whilst browsing I found a clear colour photo of Ron and an Egyptian standing by it. Moller's revision of Egyptian chronology is very different from any other I have read, but that is another story. Baillie's Comet Mike Baillie's theories seem to be entering the mainstream. In part 2 of Channel 4's Seven Ages of Britain, on 22nd November 2003, Bettany Hughes invoked Baillie's comet to explain the 8-year minimal growth in Irish oaks around 1159 BC, and the abandonment of Bronze Age settlements on Dartmoor. Seeing Red, again NASA has again been accused of distorting its visual coverage of Mars' surface. Space experts say the ordinary-looking scenery was ...
514. Poleshift [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Spring Period, a cool and moist climate prevailed in the region. There were rich grasslands and running streams. A section that is now a desert playa was then a large lake covering 120 square miles. Along the creeks and bodies of water stood groves of cotton woods and hickory trees. Today there are no living hickory trees closer than seven hundred miles to the area..."82 The second stage of these people dates from after 8,000 years ago to a few centuries before Christ, encompassing the rest of the hipsithermal. Apparently rainfall during this period was plentiful because "Grinding stones and stone tools [for grinding seeds] predominated among the recovered artifacts. ...
515. Chapter 10 Iron, Diorite, and the Sumerians [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... code of King Hammurabi of [Old or First] Babylon is probably one of the best known of ancient documentary finds. In it is the famous passage about an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. ' The Code of Hammurabi was written in cuneiform about 1750 B.C . on a black piece of diorite about seven feet long."11 The original site where it stood is unknown but the slab itself was discovered during the December 1901 to January 1902 excavation at Susa by the French archaeologist M. de Morgan. Today it is housed in the Louvre in Paris. The problem, once again, is: How did the Old or First Babylonians ...

These dates of Velikovsky's for the Mars catastrophes should be regarded as provisional. A paper on eighth century chronology is in preparation. I accept, however, ...
517. Abraham and Phallicism [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... came from the planet. If this is so then I would suggest that the material may have begun its journey at the time of the bright light during the incident at Lot's house, and it took a perceivable length of time to reach Earth. The cause of the time lag would be similar to that in Velikovsky's proposal of there being seven days between Saturn's flare-up and the beginning of the rain of Noah's flood [24]. Abraham could see the smoke rising from the plain and realised he had had a close encounter. He must have presumed he had survived the worst heavenly upset since the Flood, while his close neighbours had not. Perhaps this was the first time ...
518. The 1989 ISIS/SIS Nile Cruise [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... male company who had succumbed to the sales techniques in Esna and appeared in local Egyptian garb, their nightdresses' not exactly complemented by glimpses of European shoe and sock. The official itinerary for Upper Egypt included a trip by felucca to Kitchener Island and the mausoleum of the Aga Khan after our return from the flight to Abu Simbel, but seven of us, deciding to stay steeped in more ancient history, hired our own felucca and sailed across to the west bank to explore rock tombs of local governors from the 6th Dynasty and the Middle Kingdom. These dark entrances in the sandy cliffs had been enticing us ever since we had moored on the east bank at Aswan the night ...
519. Wonderful Life [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ever more complex is no longer tenable. With each mass extinction, with its different rules' for survival, there are immeasurable numbers of variations of what may survive and each would lead to a universe very different from that we know and yet still functioning within the same rules. Gould sees these as unrealised possible worlds and considers in detail seven stages in evolutionary history in which life could have easily gone along another path. Mankind, he asserts, is an improbable entity, not the predictable end result of a global tendency. To round up his arguments Gould leaves to the very end a description of one of the Burgess Shale creatures. A small, flattened ribbon-like animal, ...
520. Comets and the Bronze Age Collapse [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... events relate to bodies familiar to our time. There is considerable reason to suspect that the majority of the planets' namesakes were comets - probably of the Encke family. A conventional view comes from W.M . O'Neil's Time and the Calendars (1975): "The word planet comes from the Greek planetes, the wanderers; these seven celestial bodies moved among the fixed stars. The Babylonians had a more picturesque name, bibbu, the wild sheep, as these bodies broke through the fixed formation in which the tame sheep crossed the sky." To call into question Greek continuity of planet identity I refer to Leonardo Taran's work on the Pseudo-Platonic' Epinomis (1975) ...
