EN10 7LS England The Pleistocene Extinctions Dear Sir, Trevor Palmer, in equating the era of the demise of Atlantis with the end of the Pleistocene, perhaps places undue faith in current dating methods. That being said, I have no grounds for further comments about his arguments concerning Atlantis, and I certainly agree with his conclusion that the extinction episode which took place at the end of the Pleistocene is of great significance. However, I wish to ...

... full, in which case it could not have been in the sky at the same time as the Sun. The Joshua tale is also suspect as Saturn imagery usually describes the sun' as poised over a mountain (Gibeon?) and the crescent, or moon' associated with a cleft or valley between two peaks. LeFlem's mention of Atlantis prompts me to suggest that the account of the fall of Jericho, in the context of a stationary sun, indicates an ancient myth of the catastrophic breakup of the Saturn image, also recorded in other tales as the fall from Eden, the destruction of Atlantis and even Troy. In anticipation that it will be pointed out that Jericho ...

... have risen there is much more convincing. There are several other submarine river valleys in tropical Africa, and elsewhere. It may, perhaps, seem strange to find mythological material mentioned as proofs' in a geological book, but the temptation for me who am really a mythologist is too great to be resisted. I mean the loss of Atlantis, a traditional island of generous extent situated in the Atlantic Ocean to the west of the Pillars of Hercules, and hence in a very critical zone, which sank into the sea in one direful day, and one terrible night'. The mythology of the ancient Mayas and Mexicans also tells of the loss of countries under cataclysmal circumstances ...
... continent was moved eastwards by many degrees. This eastward push of the two Americas, and of South America farther than North America, caused the bottom of the Atlantic to be raised up in a great S-shaped meridional fold which we now call the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Considerable portions of this ridge may have become raised above sea level. The legendary Atlantis was situated upon one of these elevations in the Northern Atlantic. The formation of the Gulf of Guinea was also probably at least partly due to this great south-eastward magma urge. The withdrawal of the magma from the north-west and west of the terrestrial ant-apex caused, first, the whole area of the ant-apex to subside and become the floor ...
... of volcanic chains and meteor flights (thus on an entirely independent basis), how is it that so great a land has sunk into the ocean? Earthquake shocks? But do earthquakes swallow up lands? Can any concrete example be advanced of an earthquake that has submerged any body of land? There is no historical record of such. Atlantis? It is certain that if this island existed, and so great a catastrophe as tradition relates did occur, the resultant effect would be a vast tidal wave or succession of waves, and the enormous increase in water could and probably would flood the land for a period. It is highly debatable, however, whether that or any ...

... born about 551 BC, begins his history of China with a reference to a receding flood which had been "raised to the heavens." Plato relates through Critias the story, told to Solon by Egyptian priests in 600 BC, that a great war of invasion had occurred about 9,000 years earlier, led by the kings of Atlantis, an island empire of very great extent, which was afterwards sunk by an earthquake and left an impassable barrier of mud to sailors voyaging past what is now Gibraltar.

Here we are reminded of the bridge Bifrost, spoken of in the last chapter, which, as I have shown, was probably a prolongation of land reaching from Atlantis to Europe, and which the Norse legends tell us sank down under the feet of the forces of Muspelbeim, in the day of Ragnarok: "And thus she spoke with a parched voice: O sovereign of the gods, if thou approvest of this, if I have deed it, why do thy lightnings linger? Let me ...

The body was bronze and, when polished, would have looked like gold. Thera not Atlantis Biblical Archaeological Review May/June 1991, p. 16 A letter on the subject of Thera points out that scientific study indicates that the main crater on Thera was formed 100,000 years ago and therefore the eruption which occured during the Minoan civilization was nowhere large enough to verify Goedicke's Exodus theory. Another letter proffers an alternative to ...

... : .. ." As an author of short essays written in a light vein on science, is the only one of his kind- a Benu bird- an avis rara. His imagination is unbridled, he is original and courageous, an iconoclast but humble and humane, with a twinkle of humor. In his scholarly disputations that Atlantis was located on Mars he rises to Jonathan Swift's level of satire, but without Swift's gall" [August 7, 1974]. The McMaster Symposium By mid-year the events of 1974 were taking place at an increasing rate. In May, Velikovsky had been to the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, to receive an honorary doctorate, an ...

... about. There are innumerable examples in history (whereof we shall mention some hereafter) of cities and countries thus swallow'd up, or overflowed, by an earthquake, and an inundation arising upon it. And according to they the manner of their fall or ruin, remained wholly under water, and perpetually drown'd as Sodom and Gomorrah, Plato's Atlantis, Bura and Helice, and other cities and regions in Greece and Asia; or they partly emerg'd, and became dry land again; when (their situation being pretty high) the waters, after their violent agitation was abated, retir'd into the lower places, and into their channels. Now if we compare these partial dissolutions of ...

... " every year. On the margins of the mainstream, we see a fundamental re-thinking of the past- the origins of man, the origins of civilization, cometary disasters in relation to early historical events. Then, farther removed from the mainstream, we see a chaotic mixture of claims ranging from the scientific to the occult: discoveries of Atlantis, newly revealed secret doctrines, and countless Doomsday prophecies and predictions (the latter might include anything from global warming to devastating earthquakes, from overpopulation to the return of the Doomsday comet). Add the imminent passing of the millennium and you have a situation that couldn't be more ripe for feeding public fascination and anxiety. Within the academic ...
... Eridanus river related to Phaeton, and once again the Cimmerians. As we have noted, Herodotus classified as inter-related the Cimmerians, tin, and amber, coming from the "ends of the earth", while, as for Phaeton, we have the suggestion of Plato that his "escapade" was the cause of the catastrophe which submerged Atlantis. There is a myth to the effect that Phaeton's sisters, daughters of Helios, mourned the death of their brother on the banks of the river Eridanus and that their tears turned into amber. Three of them bore names, EgIé, Phaethusa, and Lampeter, who bore the surname of the Heiades. Of the first two I ...

... Worlds in Collision was published, in 1950, the mention of catastrophism in any form was anathema to science. Ideas have changed rapidly since then. Plate tectonics and the Spokane floods have crept into geology. Punctuated equilibrium and mass extinctions by asteroid impact have become fashionable. It's no longer beyond the scope of science to see the destruction of Atlantis in a Mediterranean volcano or Noah's deluge in the sudden filling of the Black Sea. A fast-growing contingent of astronomers are concerned with the perils of Earth- crossing asteroids. Galactic collisions and pole flips, albeit billions-of-years-ago, are common threads in modern science. But the gap between Velikovsky and orthodox science still looks formidable. After all, ...

... time of the second caldera-forming explosion some 10-30 years later. This new theory will not please the archaeologists, as all the Cretan sites are thought to have been destroyed at one time in the LMIB period, the Thera ash straddling LMIA. The September issue of NEW SCIENTIST carries a longer piece with the message that everything is solved, from Atlantis to Exodus, trotting out the familiar equations: however, in October a letter from P. M. S. Jones of the University of Surrey seriously questions the new work. Jones notes that (1 ) the geographical separation of Santorini and Crete make for differences in the declination and inclination of the geomagnetic field, so results will ...

... as Bob Forrest has argued) - Typhon is conceived in/under the Earth, ravages the Earth, lies imprisoned in/under the Earth; and the ultimate source in Egyptian myth (Typhon = Setekh) very clearly involves the earthly Nile flowing through the real Egypt. The point Ellenberger tackles is my objection to the relocation of the Atlantis story in the sky - together, presumably, with a celestial Greece (inhabited), Pillars of Hercules, Mediterranean, Atlantic (complete with impassable mud-banks)... The story has a single source - Plato; Ellenberger cannot reject its numerous unequivocally earthly elements on the grounds that their only weight is Just because Plato said. ...
298. Expansion and Contraction [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Lately Tortured Earth, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents Chapter 19 Expansion and Contraction Mankind has been impressed by many lands sinking like Atlantis and Lemuria, and by others, such as the Atlas, the Cascades and the Chilean Cordillera rising. The movements, all legends insist, were sudden. And, of course, since it is the human who speaks, the movements were recent. L.C . Stecchini, historian of ancient measures, maintained[1 ] that the Babylonians, calculating the diameter of the Earth subsequent to Egyptian measurements, arrived at a larger figure. Some of man's early obsession with geometrical measurements of Earth and sky were ...

... 5 ) So any ancients who believed Herodotus' Egyptian informants (as many seem to have done) would have concluded that Egyptian civilization began thousands of years before the Classical Age of Athens. Plato, writing in the fourth century BCE, also makes use of this Greek belief in the great antiquity of Egyptian civilization. In his story of Atlantis Plato claims that when Solon visited Egypt he was told that the Egyptians had records describing events remembered by the Greeks (such as the Trojan War). This informant also supposedly told Solon that the Egyptian constitution had been founded some eight thousand years before Solon's time, which would place its origins at about 8600 BCE according to our chronology ...

"The continent of Atlantis" is still mostly a name for geographical and legendary indications of crustal turbulence; it finally sank in one furious climactic day, so said Plato, after exhibiting the above-mentioned four forms of turbulence, plus continental cleavage, floods, pandemonium and extinction. We shall be criss-crossing as usual among the high energy expressions of nature, watching all ...
