' Ptolemaic astronomers confronted by Galileo's evidence for a heliocentric solar system had once raised exactly that [kind of] objection."7 Mimi Mann, archeological correspondent, in an AP dispatch from Cairo portrayed those who maintained that rainfall damage had eroded the Sphinx, requiring a chronological overhaul of Egyptian history, as a bunch of loony Atlantis hunters.8 Zahi Hawass, the Director-General of the Egyptian Antiquities Organization in charge of the Giza Pyramids, when he learned about Schoch's geological work, decided to halt the work. Schoch's group had been granted access to the Sphinx by Dr Ibrahim Bakr, at the time President of the Egyptian Antiquities Organization. Hawass, angry that his ...

Conversations with Prof Galanopoulos on these causal relationships are given by James W. Mavor [2 ].

Although circumstantial, this suggests a neat linkage between the two cultures from opposite shores of the Atlantic. Whilst this Clovis-Solutrean link may be seized upon by adherents of the geologically implausible mid-Atlantic Atlantis' theory, the documentary used testimony of modern Eskimos/Inuits to demonstrate that early transatlantic voyages, using the southerly edges of the pack ice as landfalls, were quite easily achievable and even historically inevitable. It seems safe to assume that the X' group mcDNA displays sufficient mutations to exclude the possibility that it came from European siblings ...

Beaumont, on evidence not at all execrable, positioned Atlantis on the British platform and accepted what the Egyptian priests told Solon, that their ancestors had been at battle with his Athenian forebears when the great Island sank amidst frightful tumult. Here were Beaumont's more "reasonable" propositions: The geology of the world's surface is largely catastrophic. The catastrophe was caused by a cometary collision. All geological ...

Thus, during an invited talk given at NASA Langley in Hampton, Virginia, in August of 1976, neatly sandwiched historically between the two Viking landings on Mars, I had offered the semi-serious conjecture to the incredulous assembly that Plato's Atlantis may be found on the red planet. However, to be honest, I had positioned the "citadel" of Atlantis circumscribing the south polar region of Mars and not the area of Cydonia, as does Hoagland. Actually, there is a precedence for this, as was recorded by the Greek philosopher Proclus, according to whom, ...

The book produced a storm of scientific objections and had no lasting impact outside Christian orthodoxy. In 1882 and 1883 two books by Ignatius Donnelly appeared: Atlantis, the Antediluvian World, and Ragnarok: the Age of Fire and Gravel. Relying on global myths, Donnelly claimed that a massive continent called Atlantis once harboured a primordial civilization, but the entire land sank beneath the sea when a comet rained destruction on the earth. Both of Donnelly's books became best sellers and are still available today ...

More than anything else, Donnelly's euhemeristic interpretation of myth is responsible for his theory of celestial catastrophism. Donnelly's theory is an extension of his investigation of the Atlantis myth, which is the subject of his first book, Atlantis: The Antediluvian World (1882). Like Velikovsky, who developed his theory while reconstructing ancient Near East history, Donnelly's catastrophism is an extension of his fascinating synthesis. Whereas Velikovsky is led to follow the tale of a comet beginning with Moses and the Exodus, Donnelly's ...

As a result of this methodological failing one wild goose chase has frequently led to another. Velikovsky's intellectual heirs have proven to be especially gullible in this regard. In The Sunken Kingdom: The Atlantis Mystery Solved, Peter James claims to have located Plato's Atlantis in a lake in modern Turkey [29]. Such a claim is on par with that which would locate Noah's ark on the modern Mt. Ararat -which is to say that it is hopelessly misguided from start to finish.
