... or eruptions are invariably accompanied by violent atmospheric disturbances, and these may-and frequently do-Set up a sequence of storms or weather abnormalities not only in the actual vicinity but over a wide area far distant from the epicentre of the disturbance, and these atmospheric upsets may continue until gradually the new atmospherics are distributed and shaken out, are picked up by normal air currents, absorbed, and then dissipated, in the same way as a fresh body of water is absorbed by the surrounding lakes or seas. How is it that an earthquake in, say, Sicily, may entirely change the weather and wind in the north of Europe? Weather abnormalities in their inception reveal conditions which are quite ...
382. The Myth of the Goddess, Evolution of an image by Anne Baring and Jules Cashford [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... we are aware of the authors' main message. They see this period as a watershed in the history of the earth mother goddess, a time when a belief in the wholeness of life under the auspices of the goddess of life, death and regeneration is disrupted by the advent of Aryan and Semitic invasions which brought with them the destructive male gods of war. These male gods are seen as sky gods, as the written records make it difficult to escape the conclusion that many of them are associated with the planets, though there is no pause for thought as to why these should be worshipped. As these patriarchal cultures took over, with human sacrifice as a response to ...
383. Punctuated Darwinism? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the point of view of the breeding programme this means that zoos require to hold a far larger population of fast breeding animals, such as small rodents, than large slow breeding mammals such as rhinoceros. It also means that zoos must breed from animals which neo-Darwinism would decree as inferior; many species of large mammal are polygamous with one stud male doing most of the breeding because it has proved itself superior'. To avoid the loss of genetic variation carried by the inferior' males which, in the wild, would not have had the chance to breed, conservation breeders must use all males equally. Tudge writes a very telling indictment of natural selection: "Sometimes a dominant ...

Let us take a metal wire, fix it at one end and pull on the other end of it with a progressively increasing force F, in normal conditions of pressure and temperature. From a certain minimum value of F onwards, the wire will begin to stretch. Up to a certain limit, the increase in length will be proportional to the value of F. If we remove the pulling force, the wire will spring back to its original length. This phenomenon of change of ...

... from cromlech-like or dolmen-like primitive stone pilings, those first steps of prehistoric man towards architecture. The tendency of all architecture everywhere in the world was, and is, to reduce the size of the building elements bricks, squared stone blocks, slabs, etc., and to attain the desired artistic or utilitarian effect by the artful arrangement of normalized elements. A building is thus reared upon foundation walls; a door, in its simplest form, is formed of two jambs and a lintel; a wall is built of individual blocks; and a niche in that wall, or a cornice, is formed by setting these blocks back from, or letting them project over, the ...

... quantity of dark coloured dust into its upper atmosphere, as happened with Jupiter. Since this would absorb sunlight instead of reflecting it, the albedo could have been altered to the point where the planet ceased to be visible to the naked eye. During the next nine months, as the dust gradually settled, the albedo would be returning to normal. However, while that was happening, the planet itself was waning and the two factors cancelled each other out. Thus Venus remained invisible down to its computed setting date. At the rising date, on the other hand, Venus was rapidly approaching its brightest phase; while the albedo, if not yet back to normal, must ...
388. The 360 Day Year: An Ambiguity Resolved [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... calendar prior to 700 B.C ., and claimed this as proof of a change in the earth's motions, he introduced an ambiguity. If calendar days were solar and calendar years seasonal, then a 360 day year indeed demonstrates change, yet there are many ways of accounting for that change. We could posit a reduced year with normal day length. We could suppose year length to be unchanged but with longer days. We could vary both together. This last seems the most favored. Velikovsky says "the length of the day probably also altered" (Worlds in Collision, p. 324). Rose and Vaughn (1972) claim a longer year before 700 ...
389. Cuneiform and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... " "lord." The reading "Urta" is based on reading "Nin" as a determinative (a sign that comes immediately, before or after a word, which classifies that word). The Sumerian word for "man" is "Lú." Thus a word preceded by "Lú" is identified as describing a male. Determinatives are not believed to have been pronounced. Thus, if "nin" of Ninurta is a determinative, the correct reading would be "Urta." This is the reading Luckenbill used in his Ancient Records of Assyria and Babylonia. The problem is that Ninurta was indisputably male- one of the most "macho" of ...

... additions, also appears in TA 24 (pp. 83-109) and deals with the pre-enclosure pottery (mostly LBA, also some MBA & Iron I) from constructional fills used for levelling the enclosure and its buildings. Her report also reiterates her earlier conclusion that the latest pottery associated with the construction and occupation is of a type which is normally considered to be 10th century BC (the Iron Age IIA period) but at Jezreel is associated with Ahab in the 9th century. The two leaders of the excavations differ in their approach to this problem (p . 70): Ussishkin suggests extending the period of Iron Age IIA pottery to cover both Solomon and Ahab, whereas Woodhead ...
