... for Epaphus we find, of course, Apop. Now there were two or three Hyksos kings of that name, as we know from the works of Velikovsky and others. One must have reigned at the beginning of the Hyksos period and one near the end.2 For the successor of Apop I Drioton3 names one Sousirniré I Khian, normally known as Khian. The resemblance between Sousirniré and Busiris is striking. Of course, a grandson may have succeeded his grandfather. Let us look now to some lines of the Hyksos king list of Manetho:4 4 Staan 50 years 5 Arkhles 49 years Waddell, who edited the fragments of the works of Manetho in the Loeb Classical ...
422. Nemesis for Evolutionary Gradualism? [Books]
... finding of the graphitic carbon was consistent with the impact hypothesis, if not proof of it [15]. Also generally consistent with the impact hypothesis was the finding that the carbon-13/carbon-12 ratio dropped sharply during the K-T transition [2 ,7 ,50]. This has been interpreted as indicating reduced productivity of phytoplankton, because these normally remove much of the carbon-12 from surface waters, utilizing it preferentially during photosynthesis [2 ,26,51]. So, by the middle of the 1980s, there was much evidence, some direct and some indirect, supporting the hypothesis that a bolide had struck the Earth at the end of the Cretaceous period. Admittedly no impact ...
423. The Disastrous Love Affair of Moon and Mars [Books] [de Grazia books]
... DE GRAZIA Notes on the printed version of this book: This book was processed by the Princeton University Computing Centre, using the processing language called Script. Photocomposition, cover make-up, lay-out and printing were accomplished by the Princeton University Printing Services. The typeface employed throughout is Caledonia. The photograph on the front and back covers displays a marble male figure, glancing to the skies and playing the harp; it is of pre-Homeric Aegean origins and now possessed by the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York.

424. Pompous Asimov [Books]
... was totally unable to ever even remotely approach this generosity of spirit (or depth of knowledge). 7. Asimov as Would-Be Scientist. To return to Asimov, the first sections have shown that, whenever Asimov confronts Velikovsky, he makes a fool of himself. This is very significant evidence for the Velikovsky Affair, because Asimov is not normally a fool. It is true that he can be shallow and facile, that he runs with the pack and that he is mostly an echo of received opinion, but he is not often ridiculous, yet he routinely ends with egg on his face each time he tries to debunk Velikovsky. This must indicate that at such moments he ...
425. The Nature and Scale of an Exodus Catastrophe Reassessed [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . But what of the plague of hail, which was accompanied by thunder... and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail' (Exodus 9:23-24)? Velikovsky interpreted this phenomenon as showers of meteorites and burning naphtha from the passing comet (Velikovsky 1950: 66). However, it is significant that the normal word for hail (barad) is used in Exodus 9, in contrast to Joshua 10 where we read of stones' (abanim) raining down from the sky. The biblical writers seemingly distinguished hail from meteorites, and what they describe in Exodus 9 is an abnormal hailstorm. The fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail ...
... again, rotating at approximately the same rate of spin? The Earth cannot do it by itself, because of the law of conservation of angular momentum. ' "At that time, [1974] I suggested this: If the deceleration were due to a transitory increase in the electrical charge of the Earth, then the resumption of a normal' rate of spin might well be laid to a subsequent loss, or drainoff, of the excess charge. The phenomenon would be entirely in keeping with, and indeed attributable to, constraints imposed by the law of conservation of angular momentum. "One of Velikovsky's earliest and most strident critics raising this same issue emphasized the close analogy ...
427. Petrofabric Analysis: An Unreliable Archaeological Tool [Journals] [Kronos]
... the relevant literature indicates that petrofabric analysis has hitherto been mainly used in the investigation of glacial and aquatic movement. Work has also been performed on solifluction deposits and talus formation; and, as little work has been done in the corroboration of the findings in these two fields, we should firstly investigate the use of this technique in its more normal applications. In 1932, K. Richter(3 ) determined the direction of ice flow by means of statistical investigations of the long axes orientation of boulders and pebbles deposited by glacier movement. He found that stones imbedded in debris zones near the end of a glacier showed a statistical preference for long axes orientation parallel with a direction of ...
428. Velikovsky, Mars, and the Eighth Century B. C. Part One [Journals] [Kronos]
... it? There is no further discussion of the subject. There are two things about this flood which seem to be anomalous: its severity, and its date - especially the date. The most extreme case would be a divergence of 26 weeks from the average. Unfortunately, neither Velikovsky's comment nor Breasted's tells us what would be considered a normal date, whether the flood was early or late, and by how much. We need precise information to discuss the question intelligently. In modern times, the date of highest flood level at Thebes averaged, as we shall see, around September 11 to September 12 (Gregorian). But any discussion of the relation of seasonal phenomena ...
429. New Fashions in Catastrophism [Books] [de Grazia books]
... ashes and stones of the adjoining palace." How remarkable that this kind of reading of the ruins has prevailed to this day! And I have noted others from stories of the Near East, Etruria, and Meso-America. All references to ash layers in ancient times need to be collected. The levels should be recorded, along with the normal data on what is above, below, and the site location. Of course, C. Schaeffer has done something like this in the Middle East and Velikovsky had added some other reports. A special study, however, is lacking. It should also be noted that the original layer must invariably have been much thicker than the final ...
430. Stars, Galaxies and Electro-Gravitic Theory [Journals] [Aeon]
... each other that based on gravitational theory there should be a great number of binaries observed. Nevertheless, "According to Virginia Trimble at the University of Maryland, globular clusters show no convincing examples of eclipsing binaries. . .They also don't seem to harbor spectroscopic binaries.. . .( and) globular clusters contain few, if any normal binary systems." (16) Let us go to the opposite side of the problem and examine stars with extremely large electromagnetic fields. We have shown that pulsars and white dwarf stars rarely form binaries, and we shall discuss these stars more fully in the next unit. The youngest stars are found in open clusters and are rotating ...
