... but everything is episodic. In other words, the history of any one part of the earth, like the life of a soldier, consists of long periods of boredom and short periods of terror." (P . 100). 23. As quoted in selections from Plato in: J.V . Luce, The End of Atlantis (Thames & Hudson 1959; BCA 1973), pp. 207ff). \cdrom\pubs\journals\review\newslet2\12kuglr.htm ...

... of the mainstream into coming along and trying out alternative paths. If Catastrophist Geology manages that, the results in 10 or 20 years may be much more significant than can be achieved by any fringe group, because of the technological infrastructure which this part of the mainstream has at its disposal. If somebody starts a magazine on astrology or on Atlantis - or a Velikovskian study group, for that matter - he opts openly for the fringe, not caring that the mainstream calls him lunatic. I do not care either, but at least for the time being I am trying to do something different. I want to form a bridge between the open-minded part of Academia and the science-oriented ...

... apparent connection with the advent of the Moon. Hundreds of titles from many fields are dedicated to it. In oceanography, Emiliani extracts from Gulf of Mexico bottom cores the information that a fresh water avalanche descended upon the basin some 11,500 years ago and he wonders whether this was from a cataclysm such as sank the legendary continent of Atlantis. Tree pollen changed abruptly in the Great Lakes region about 10,000 years ago, according to J.G . Ogden III. "The only mechanism sufficient to produce a change of the kind described here would therefore appear to be a rapid and dramatic change in temperature and/or precipitation."[20] Oceanographers Broeoker ...

... Mutwa. (The "Credo" was only added after his Christian baptism, but having first abandoned the Mohammedan religion he later forsook also Christian belief, to return wholeheartedly to the original beliefs of his ancestors and practise as a witch-doctor.) His book, which contains the story of "The First Red People" (rather like some Atlantis legends) and the history of Mutwa's race, including two slave empires, is enormously interesting for all Velikovskians. Unfortunately, it seems to be out of print, but I am sending a summary. NEL KLUITMAN Campestro, Switzerland Mrs Kluitman's review of the Mutwa book has been passed to the Editor of WORKSHOP for consideration. I apologise ...
355. Quantavolutions [Books] [de Grazia books]
... with a Richter scale 1 and, say, 9, but allowing that this reading of 9 may have, in times before measurement and, more, before conscious memory, reached hypothetical reading of 12 or 20. What would the Richter-scale reading have been when the Indian sub-continent split off East Africa? Or when the fabled island continent of Atlantis "sank in a day of furious trembling," according to Plato? Now a criticism can be launched against quantavolutionism. India split from Africa, not in a day, but by an exceedingly numerous series of a centimeters a year, as Arabia is pulling away from Africa today - so it is argued. This might be measurable ...

... will have read little else of value besides it. Many a well-known figure of science has had an exoterrestrial skeleton in his closet. Plato would deny the citizenry the right to challenge the divine and natural order of the heavens and proposed severe penalties for such. Yet Plato has for over 2000 years afforded support to quantavolutionists in history (the Atlantis report), astronomy (deviations of the planets) and geology (destruction of early Attica by earthquakes), V. was annoyed when Stecchini stressed the anti-quantavolutionist side of Plato's political writings, and urged upon them a consistency that was not there; at least it seemed to Deg that he could not tolerate a double standard for Plato ...

... close passes by generally larger bodies will also have left their marks. As you know, Kelly has been suggesting close passes as a process operative on the geology of Mars, perhaps even Venus. It seems that Bob Stephanos has a fly-by process. Beaumont too. And, of course, Donnelly. It was Donnelly's work (Ragnarok, Atlantis) that got me thinking in this area, plus my activity as an amateur astronomer....thinking about electrical charging of the "spheres." I do not know enough EM theory at this time to quantify the mutual interactions of two oppositely or identically charged planetary bodies. Then there is the problem of conservation of momentum ...

... fire guided the fleeing Hebrew slaves northward to the shores of the Mediterranean by night and a column of smoke guided them by day. Then the Lord put the columns behind them (i .e . they had turned south into Sinai). These events passed into folk memory of the Israelites and also the Ancient Greeks with the legend of Atlantis and the legend of the Minotaur and its destruction in the great earthquake which destroyed Knossos. Also Solomon is stated to have started building the Temple in Jerusalem 400 years after the Exodus. A hundred years after Petrie's dates for Egypt we now have a choice of two scientifically fixed dates for the destruction of Santorini and the site of Akrotiri ...

... in reminding us of this essential side-effect of an acceleration in the spin rate of the Earth, which should eventually help us in the problem of pin-pointing the date of the event, but there does not seem to be any real shortage of geological records of catastrophes of this sort. The combined scenarios actually suggest - very speculatively! - that Atlantis could have been washed away by this tidal wave; the south-setting current past the Straits of Gibraltar would have been extremely violent, probably also turbulent, but the effects on the Mediterranean itself could have been comparatively slight (the nul point of the sea level change being claimed to be at latitude 35.3 N. where the north-south ...

... exhibited in ruins throughout Europe and the Western Mediterranean, between Jovean and Venusian times [20]. He accepts Euro-Near East communication, but reserves judgment as to whether the West European culture is indigenous or derived. My position is that the megalithic cultures of Spain, France, Ireland, England and Scandinavia are survivors of the larger realms of Atlantis. Painstaking attempts to demonstrate that Stonehenge and other megalithic formations are accurate astronomical indicators by retrocalculations of the present order of the skies have not succeeded. Few doubt that they are sky-oriented, part of the human obsession with the celestial order which is one of our basic principles in this work. In careful analysis of the constructions of Ballochroy ...
369. Fingerprints of the Gods: do ancient relicts point to an advanced civilisation 15,000 years ago? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... There may be some other agent of cataclysm which caused this to happen but of one thing I am sure: rather more than 12,000 years ago a great civilisation that haunts the mythic memory of mankind was destroyed and left very few traces for us to identify. I return here to Plato and the notion of the lost continent of Atlantis. Plato said he got his information from Solon, who in turn got it from an Egyptian priest, a priest of Sais in the Delta. That Egyptian priest spoke of records stored in the temples of Egypt for eight or nine thousand years before their time. What those records said was that the earth is periodically visited by a ...
370. The Uranians [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the Magdalenian Upper-Paleolithic cavepainters of the West have now been shown to have counterparts as far distant as the Caucasus, Azov, Central Asia, Siberia and Bashkir [35]. If there is a connection, and not a ten-thousand year re-invention, Upper-Paleolithic cultures would be not Lunarian, but post-Saturnian, probably. They would be survivors of the Atlantis and other shelf flooding, according to the theory to be advanced in the coming chapter on Saturn. Figure 16 Celestial Bison.

... stone slab with strange metal fittings. Hence this could be a door', with who-knows-what hidden behind it. Similarly, Zahi Hawass, Director General of the Giza Pyramids, is said to be currently investigating newly-discovered tunnels immediately south-east of the Sphinx. The American visionary, Edgar Cayce, claimed a collection of records from the lost civilisation of Atlantis was buried at Giza in 10,500 BC, and he predicted that a passageway leading from the right forepaw of the Sphinx to the Record Chamber would be discovered before the end of the 20th century. A researcher once funded by the Edgar Cayce Foundation, Mark Lehner, is now an eminent Egyptologist with conventional views, happy to ...

... seminal work on equating world legend with the precession of the equinoxes, although he thought they stopped short of the obvious catastrophic goal involving a more ancient sophisticated race of peoples: "Hamlet's Mill is a labyrinth of brilliant but deliberately evasive scholarship..." (7 ) However, Hancock also intentionally dissociates his ideas from that of Plato's Atlantis beyond the Pillars of Hercules, knowing full well that his approaches closely parallel that of the Greek philosopher, albeit with significant differences. Since present-day mapping of the world's oceanic basins shows no trace of sunken continents, the most obvious land choice for a lost civilization is a relatively ice-free Antarctica. It has mountains and lakes, rivers and ...

The North Pole is actually water, so you don't get the same build-up of ice as you do on land but there is a build-up of ice on Greenland which is offset from the North Pole, so are we seeing a crustal slip? She referred to When the Sky Fell by Flem-Ath, who says that Atlantis was the continent of Antarctica. David Roth commented that Hancock never explicitly says this, though he seems to be implying it all the time. He asked if anyone had read reviews of the Hapgood book which indicated that the maps are genuine, or called them into question. Margaret Grant said some of the Portolani show islands in the ...
