... Age, whilst Greece's Heroic or Mycenaean epoch commenced at the same point in time'. Here he identifies the Pharaoh contemporary with Joshua, and shows how Greek warriors, fresh from the sack of Troy helped dislodge the Assyrians from the land of the Nile'. Chapter 8 provides a good discussion of dating methods and their weaknesses. The anomalous results from radiocarbon dating are discussed and he quotes those from the tomb of Tutankhamun: 899BC for a kernel and 844BC for a reed mat. Whilst Sweeney notes these are over 400 years too recent for the conventional chronology, he does not add that they are also over 200 years too early for his own revision. Of the traditional ...
392. Focus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Oort cloud of comets, perturbing some into orbits within the inner Solar System and leading to periods of intense comet showers and consequent frequent impacts with their attendant catastrophic effects on Earth. The only "evidence" for the existence of Nemesis is the possible 26 million year extinction cycle of Raup and Sepkoski, although Whitmire and Jackson think that the anomalous motion of Neptune could also be explained by such a companion star. Nevertheless, complex computations for the mass and orbit of this hitherto unsuspected star are presented, and it is variously postulated to be a black hole, a black dwarf, brown dwarf or hydrogen-burning M dwarf - a veritable Nibelungenlied . Both groups lay stress on the Earth ...
393. Why is Velikovsky in archeology ? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... The Society for Interdisciplinary Studies (SIS) regularly publishes articles on Velikovsky and multidisciplinary subjects such as archaeology. Articles have included: The Archaeology of Shiloh And Pottery Chronology by Bob Porter./ The Hyksos and the Archaeology of Palestine, by Dr John Bimson / Chronological Problems in the Archaeology of the Hittites, by Peter James / Venus Tablet Anomalies, by John D Weir / Some References to the Use of Iron Before the Iron Age, by Bob Porter / Metallurgy and Chronology, by Peter James / The Ramesside Star Tables, by Michael Reade / The Tomb of Ahiram, by Dr Immanuel Velikovsky From: Raymond K. Strom, strom@freenet.calgary.ab. ...
394. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... We are very grateful to the member who wishes to remain anonymous who has covenanted £500 per year for the next 5 years. ASSAP Garden Party As a result of a letter from Brian Moore which appeared in The Unexplained, (issue No. 138), the Society received an invitation from The Association for the Study of Scientific and Anomalous Phenomena to man a stall at a Garden Party which was to be held in the grounds of the home of David Christie-Murray in East Molesey at the end of June. This brought us into contact with a wide variety of people whom we would not normally have met and who were interested in the different aspects of science covered by ASSAP ...
395. A Note On Shakespeare's Cataclysmic Imagery [Journals] [Kronos]
... could. The results speak for themselves. Yet I am well aware that the depth and power invested in images of catastrophism in Shakespeare and his contemporaries cannot be explained merely and solely by the many catastrophes which occurred during Shakespeare's time. The Elizabethans and Jacobeans thought catastrophically as a matter of course- Professor Wolfe's argument. The fact that celestial anomalies such as comets (13 in 145 years), earthquakes (18 in 65 years), a change in the climate toward colder conditions, massive resulting storms and floods, tornadoes, two supernovas within 32 years, and frequent eclipses of the Sun and Moon also occurred during the time provided the Elizabethans with contemporary evidence that their notions ...
396. A Maya Record of Two Thousand Years? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... does not correlate with any European volcano, and so applies to the Western Hemisphere. The question is, was it world wide? All sorts of evidence indicate that global things were happening at this time: the fragmentation of the proto comet Encke (Whipple), magnetic discontinuity (Smith), climatic deterioration (Lamb), ice core anomaly (Hammer), building of the pyramids (Hawkes), two calendars beginning with catastrophe- Indian (Parker) and Maya (Thompson), and the start of the Kish dynasty (Mellart). The geophysical evidence pointing to -1561 is sensational, and generally self-consistent. Daley (1926, 177) and Kuenen (1950, ...
397. Return to the Tippe Top [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that its main claim depends upon the emphasised statement from Velikovsky. The Senmut ceiling will be described as originally interpreted by Pogo, with supplementary comments from Michael Reade and Malcolm Lowery in their detailed commentaries in SIS Review. It will be pointed out that the emphasised Velikovsky statement does not correspond with statements made by Pogo and that it is inherently anomalous. The consequences of a tippe-top reversal will be described as they apply to the Senmut ceiling. It will be shown that the result is in full accord with the original Pogo interpretation, and also with Velikovsky's interpretation despite the anomalous and aberrant emphasised statement. The tippe-top reversal will be shown to be in full accord with other ancient descriptions ...
398. Reply to Earl Milton [Journals] [Aeon]
... (5 ) and by Gribbin and Plagemann (6 ) indicating that the Earth's rotation was slowed by strong solar flares and thereafter sped up again after these glitches. If Coulomb's law rules celestial motion, why did solar flares slow the Earth's rotation? And since gravity could not have sped up the rotation afterwards, what did? From such anomalies as this I have concluded that electromagnetic interactions between the Sun and the Earth can accelerate the rotation of the Earth. If I have not "faced up to" Coulomb's law, it is because no one, so far as I know, has satisfactorily answered the glaring contradictions between prevailing theory and observed fact. I would certainly go ...

... have been misidentified. Thus, the neo-Assyrian kings are actually the Persians as rulers of Assyria. It should be noted, of course, that the Indus Valley civilisation is dated according to Mesopotamian archaeology. Hence, also the apparent non-appearance there of the Persians. Yet the application of Mesopotamian chronology to the Indus region has thrown up another surprising anomaly, which Heinsohn devotes considerable space to. Being dated according to the Mesopotamian measuring-gauge, the Indus culture is regarded as having commenced around 3000 BC. But just a few hundred miles to the east another great civilisation of India, that of the Ganges Valley, displays remarkable parallels with that of the Indus. Architecture, pottery and art ...
400. Planet in Crisis: the Earth's Last 12,000 Years [Journals] [SIS Review]
... signatures, caused either by limited activation of internal planetary mechanisms (e .g . earthquakes) generated by Earth itself, or by powerful external agencies (e .g . impacting cosmic objects) interacting with Earth to cause global disruption. Purely terrestrial catastrophes can mostly be ascribed to crustal dislocation generated by more deep seated phenomena. They exhibit anomalous juxtapositions and reactions relative to theoretically ideal planetary behaviour and appear to be legacies of an earlier (but geologically recent) cosmic intrusion. The implications for standard uniformitarianism and catastrophism are discussed. It appears that most present terrestrial disturbances are aftermath effects of the last major cosmic visitation around 11,500 years ago. Earth's Design Today we inhabit ...
