... about"- may be up to a dozen years out, rather than (as one would like to presume) within two or three years of their true mark. It is time that Velikovsky (or his staff) supplied a detailed chronology for the pharaohs of the Eighteenth Dynasty, reign by reign, so as to clarify these apparent anomalies. Two Hundred Year Old Kings As a continuation of these dating problems, I looked at the Amarna Age outside Egypt. Velikovsky notes that Tushratta wrote to Akhnaton on the latter's accession,4 which places the beginning of the Mitanni Civil War prior to -855 (using the above dates) but sets the end of the Kingdom after this ...
272. Of Lessons, Legacies, and Litmus Tests: A Velikovsky Potpourri (Part One) [Journals] [Aeon]
... in radiohalos has recently been explained two ways in terms of ordinary physics by A.L . Odom and W.J . Rink (Science 246, 6 October 1989, pp. 107-109) and by C. Warren Hunt in Expanding Geospheres (Calgary, 1992). Furthermore, the reduction of half-lives would have produced many collateral isotopic anomalies which are nowhere in evidence. For example, the scenario implies a large influx of C14 3500 years ago, or less than one half-life period, the influx of which does not exist. (Cf. Pensée IV, p. 22.) In Kronos III:4 , Juergens discussed geomagnetic reversals and geogullibility and claimed that geologists ...
273. An Investigation into the Reality of the Early Medieval Dark Age [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and 900 AD, as argued by a number of German scholars? That thesis was presented at an SIS meeting in November 1998 by the American historical researcher, Clark Whelton, who made specific reference to a paper Did the early Middle Ages exist? ' written by one of the Germans, Hans-Ulrich Niemitz [2 ]. Whelton outlined several anomalies in the conventional view of history which had been identified by Niemitz and clearly thought that there was a case to answer [3 ]. Having a high regard for Clark Whelton, I initially accepted that, if he believed a serious challenge had been presented to the conventional chronology of the Christian Era, then that was very likely to ...
274. The Historicity of the Homeric Poems and Traditions [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . How could he have known the names of so many Mycenaean population centres on the Greek mainland when a great number had been abandoned, covered over and forgotten by the 8th century? Although some scholars attribute the Catalogue of Ships' (Book II) to another source, the mere fact that it is included in the Iliad allows this anomaly to stand [11]. On his knowledge of the Early Iron Age: 4. Why is it that he introduces a mix of both Bronze and Iron Age armour and weaponry into the Iliad, suggesting that he could not have died before the introduction of iron into the battle equipment of the Greeks? 5. Why does he ...
275. Thoth Vol II, No. 10: June 15, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the unexplained and to the unknown. The demand grows for a new paradigm to show the way to new things in new places. It's time for science to shop for a new puzzle. So here's another pitch for my pet paradigm: The Electric Saturn Super Model promises a lot of fun. It can explain not only a shopping-cart-full of anomalies, but it can re-organize the clutter of ad-hoc explanations in the Establishment Store onto shelves of predictable phenomena. It replaces an empty, lifeless universe with a historical, lightning-filled one. There are things to do: The physics and astronomy of isolated, static particles need to be exchanged for a science of interconnected bodies adapting to a changing ...
276. A REVISED CHRONOLOGY FOR THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Peoples of the Sea" deals with the XXIst Dynasty, which Velikovsky places largely contemporary with the XXth. According to his model, it was a priestly and military creation of the Persians under Darius I, set up by them in the strategic western Oases of Egypt. He adduces synchronism to demonstrate this, and another mass of supposed "anomalies" in the art, language, and stratigraphy of this Dynasty to support his case. Several documents are examined in detail and new light is shed on their interpretation - the pathetic journey of Wenamon, for instance, shows details that could only fit into a late 5th, rather than an eleventh century context. The Maunier Stele from ...
277. The Relevance Of The Velikovsky Scenario To The Homeric Question [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... there was no Dark Age; but rather several decades of confusion, stampede of populations, and coming to terms with appalling disasters -in a sense of the word `disaster', which is directly derived from its etymology. There is no space to go into these matters at length here; but readers may care to attend to the many anomalies to which the conventional chronology gives rise, and the manner in which it was arrived at over a century ago by hazardous hypotheses incontinently erected on top of one another, with the result clutched at like a straw as the sole apparent basis for an absolute chronology.2 As to the Homeric epics, one may well wonder how two ...
278. The Mythical History of the Comet Venus (Part I) [Journals] [Aeon]
... testimony the remarkable history of the planet Venus in prehistoric times. The integrity of this reconstruction will, in turn, lend substantial verification to the model by demonstrating that here- as in other instances previously noted- the model satisfies the requirements of a general theory: it accommodates and explains the data in a consistent way, while removing countless anomalies that have frustrated previous efforts to place ancient myths and symbols in a comprehensible light. It is particularly noteworthy that none of the common Venusian themes, when examined in detail, are explicable by Venus' appearance today- a point that is only underscored by the occasional guesses of historians and mythologists seeking to explain the motifs within conventionally accepted ...
279. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... collecting ring sequences from Anatolia and southeast Europe. Part of this work developed a 1500 year long chronology ending somewhere in the 8th century BC, although with no connection to the present. As reported in C&CR (1996:1 p. 36), Kuniholm thought he had identified the results of the Theran eruption as a growth anomaly in the ring sequence. Then by matching this anomaly to the 1628BC date for Thera he obtained a precise date for the end of his long chronology at 718BC (Nature 381 pp. 780-3). Now that 1628BC is no longer valid, neither is the 718BC date and the long chronology must revert to its earlier approximate location by ...

... but do not know what to expect. The more optimistic predict a celestial fireworks display with glowing fireballs rising above Jupiter's atmosphere, and red spots, gaping holes and swirling jets in the atmosphere as an aftermath. We hope Carl Sagan enjoys an event that could never happen. (See box item Worlds in Collision 1994'.) ELECTROMAGNETISM Anomalous lightning Science Frontiers No 89,Sep-Oct 1993, p. 4; No 90, Nov-Dec 1993, p. 3 There have been many anecdotal reports from pilots of anomalous luminous phenomena above cloud tops, including closed loops and vertical upward discharges. Now scientists are taking the phenomenon seriously, although they have no explanations as yet. Magnetic ...
