... -1899). While the dating problem itself seemed to be solved, another quite different problem arose out of the text of the Venus Tablets. None of the solutions yielded a very good fit and alternative versions of the text fitted one solution and not another. Also, some of the data was found to be displaced. How could this anomaly be explained ? If the data recorded was longer than computed, it was thought to be due to unfavourable weather. If the recorded data gave a shorter interval, it was attributed to scribal error. At no time was it suggested that some of the anomalies might be arising because the astronomical observations originated at some date other than the ...
212. Tony Rees on Lasken's chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of uniform development in technology, language formation, stylistic sequences etc. Such things are not capable of independently forming a chronology. On their own they can only posit cultural affinities, for they are the products of an already established chronological model. A different model gives different developmental schemes. Jess, Gunnar and Emmett have pinpointed a mass of anomalies in those schemes, yet when the relevant experts are questioned about the anomalies they will readily admit that they represent deviations from the schemes they have posited. When pushed, many of them will also admit that there is no such thing as a steady uniform progression in any of their disciplines. I myself do not agree with many of ...
213. The Rotational Resonances of Mercury and Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... Sun at each perihelion passage, when Mercury passes closest to the Sun and the Sun's gravitational pull on Mercury is at its greatest. Three points should be emphasized about this conventional explanation: (1 ) For none of the planets is the interval from one perihelion passage to the next quite the same as the sidereal "year". The anomalistic "Year" is defined as the interval between one perihelion passage and the next, as opposed to the sidereal "year" that is the interval between one orientation with respect to the stars and the next such orientation. Too often, those discussing this resonance refer to the sidereal "year",(3 ) but what should ...
214. Govardhan Hill Publishing [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... to accept a picture of prehistory that is largely incorrect. Forbidden Archeology is a call for a change in today's rigid scientific mindset. Bringing to light a great number of long hidden artefacts and skeletal remains, Cremo and Thompson challenge us to rethink our understanding of human origins and the accepted methods of science itself. Contents: PART I: Anomalous Evidence. 1. The Song of the Red Lion. 2. Incised and Broken Bones: The Dawn of Deception. 3. Eoliths. 4. Crude Palaeolithic Stone Tools. 5. Advanced Palaeoliths and Neoliths. 6. Anomalous Human Skeletal Remains. PART II: Accepted Evidence. 7. Java Man. 8. The Piltdown ...
215. Anomalous Occurrence of Crocodilia in Eocene Polar Forests Part Two [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1993 (Vol XV) Home | Issue Contents Anomalous Occurrence of Crocodilia in Eocene Polar Forests Part Two by Ian C. Johnson Born in 1950 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Mr Johnson graduated in 1976 from Carleton University, Ottawa, with an honours degree in Political Science. Since graduation he has worked at the National Energy Board, a regulatory body of the Government of Canada. A professional economist since 1982, most of his work has centred around oil and gas supply economics. He attended the McMaster three day symposium on Velikovsky in 1974 and has written for Chiron, SIS Workshop, CSIS Newsletter, Aeon and Catastrophism and Ancient History ...
216. New Methods of Investigation [Books]
... about one-sixth of the total depth below ground level. Below the bottom of the crater, the rocks are fractured for a distance equal to the total depth. At the surface, this zone of fracturing is normally about one-fifth of the crater's radius, in width. B. Gravimetric Disturbances Inside the crater and in its vicinity, concentric gravimetric anomalies are found. The region in which the crater lies has a mean density which is measured by gravimetric methods. When the crater has been formed the density of the ground, in and immediately around the features, is less than before, as the rocks have been crushed and fractured: negative gravimetric anomalies or deficiencies will thus generally be ...
217. Formation of Chondritic Meteorites and the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... with little variation in thickness. The rare earth signature' of the CAI shells indicates that they have been formed from the body of the inclusion rather than being deposited from some external source [5 ]. The CAI shell is enriched up to 5 times in the refractory rare earths and have a europium/ytterbium (Eu/Yb) anomaly which indicates that the inclusions have been strongly heated and 80% of the surface layer sublimed away. The heating was brief, <100 sec [6 ], as evidenced by the sharp inner edge to the CAI shells and the fact that CAI cores are largely unaffected by the heat pulse. The retention of volatiles in chondrules also ...
218. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Winter, in any case) more credence than the major works I referred to. Insofar as he disputes my arguments, he often misses their point (e .g .( 2 ) and (3 ) below) and in places his arguments are potentially contrary to the Winter thesis (e .g . in re-emphasising the KT iridium anomaly). Some of his points do, however, open up areas which could have been covered if time and space had allowed. 1) Atkinson... is ignorant of our ancestors' belief... [that] geographical features... [were in] one-to-one correspondence with features in the celestial vault. ' ...
219. Observations of Venus by James I [Journals] [Horus]
... for accuracy of ancient Chinese astronomical observations, Newton's remark is surprising. Were these observations of eclipses an accurate description of a past reality? If one examines the entire record of astronomical observations from China and other areas of the world from ancient times through the 20th Century A.D ., even more surprises appear. The record teems with anomalies. In documenting these anomalies it will be shown only that they suggest that episodes of celestial instability have occurred in the past. Questions about the original observer's accuracy I will leave to the reader. To begin, we will examine an unusual sighting of the planet Venus. The reader is probably aware that the order of the solar system ...
220. The Antiquity of the Egyptian Decans [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... by A. Pogo in the magazines "Isis" and "Osiris" between 1930 and 1936. When studying almost any commentary on the decans, however, it is advisable always to keep checking back with the original lists, as no commentator seem to be entirely free of questionable assumptions as to what was scribal error and what was significant anomaly in any particular list; deemed errors by scribes sometimes even go completely unacknowledged. Whether the decan were already recognised in Old Kingdom times (6th Dynasty and earlier) is not entirely clear from the principal written material of that era which survives and has been published (" the pyramid texts") but it is at least not inconceivable ...
