... sundials and accurate water clocks would be unable to distinguish three days of darkness from ten days of darkness. In the interest of "high precision", it should be noted that the shrine of el-Arish speaks of nine days, not ten days, and that the rabbinical sources speak of seven days, rather than the three days of the Bible; it is the difference between seven days and nine days that Velikovsky calls "negligible". (See Worlds in Collision, page 59.) Mulholland chooses to forget that the Darkness was a time of interplanetary cataclysm, and that even those who possessed such water clocks (assuming that they didn't spill!) might not have been ...

873. Beyond Bauer [Journals] [Aeon]
... then are the fundamental issues raised by Velikovsky? Here opinions will differ, influenced, no doubt, by the personal background and special interests of the reader himself. (18) For the sake of the present discussion I will accept the judgement of Bauer, who summarizes the salient points of Velikovsky's work as follows: (1 ) The Bible and other ancient records contain much factual material about actual physical events; (2 ) Myths and folklore are built around descriptions of striking actual events that can be discerned by proper analysis; (3 ) Past catastrophes were so threatening to mankind that overt reminders of them are suppressed, though they are described in more or less veiled form ...
874. Interviewing Immanuel Velikovsky: An Introduction [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Old Testament, the book of Exodus- the story of plagues, disruption of the sea and some volcanic phenomena around the desert- the normal question would be to ask when the Israelites left Egypt- the sons of Israel so to say....If Egypt, has a record, you would ask yourself the same question because, in the Bible, it was not just once or twice mentioned, it was in the entire Bible- in the Psalms and the books of the prophets. Again and again the orator, the prophet, tells you of the terrific phenomena that took place about the time Israel left Egypt. Now, when you look into Egyptian textbooks and you find nothing ...
875. The Great Debate [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... such holocaust. But the majority of experts lost little time embracing the doctrine of uniformitarianism. Interestingly, the reason for their acceptance of uniformitarianism over catastrophism was not very scientific. Geology as a science was in its infancy in the 19th century. In their attempt to find acceptance in the scientific community, most geologists sought to separate themselves from Bible literalists who taught that the world was created in six days. They tried at all costs to avoid the rare and mysterious; thus uniformity was encouraged and those who preferred catastrophic explanations drifted off into other fields, such as paleontology or glacial geology. The result was an almost unanimous agreement among geologists that uniformitarianism was valid. The beginning ...
876. The Mosaic Calendar [Journals] [Aeon]
... that this article was published without major changes having first been asked for. It is not to AEON's credit. Eric Aitchison replies: Through her use of such words as "gratuitous," "gratuitously," "offensive," and "pot-shots," Lisa Liel is effectively putting me offside with those who have deep respect for the Bible. By concentrating on one descriptive adjective, "rambling," she sets the tone for her critique. But what of this word, "rambling"? Given that Liel has taken offense at the use of this particular word in the context of "a rambling set of instructions," I offer the following comments: The adjective ...
877. Myths of the Cataclysm Caused by the Breakdown of a Former Satellite (The Book of Revelation is History) [Books]
... second myth, and would probably better stand at the beginning of the fifth myth. The `door' in `heaven' describes the `opening' coming into existence in the centre of the satellite's disk, or face, at the beginning of the disintegration. The word `heaven', as used in many cosmological passages in the Bible (cf. Job xxxvii. 18, for instance) cannot mean `starry sky', but is used for something which `is above'. If this surmise is correct, then the lightnings' proceeding from the `throne', or central part, mentioned in 5a, refer to streams of satellitic material leaving the disintegrating ...
878. Falling Dust and Stone [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Tezcatlipoca : Hast thou verily determined... that the peopled place become a wooded hill and a wilderness of stones?.. Is there to be no mercy nor pity for us until the arrows of thy fury are spent? Thine arrows and stones have sorely hurt this poor people [3 ]. And, of course, the Bible (Deuteronomy xxviii) The Lord shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust; from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed..." Thus, in Deuteronomy; but more too in Joshua x: And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the ...
879. Notes (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... taken place, the realities behind the Panathenaean Festival had already been largely forgotten. Note 7. The numbering of the passages of Plato's Atlantis myth, which may seem peculiar to those not acquainted with Greek literature, is the so-called `Stephanus' one. It refers, not to chapters and verses, as, for instance, in the Bible, but to the numbers of the pages and their subdivision into five groups of lines, in the famous edition of Greek classics issued by the French printer, Henri Estienne (1531-98), the humanistic form of whose surname was `Stephanus'. This edition, though largely superseded as to textual correctness and completeness, is still used ...

... was startled to spot a strange anomaly, an object protruding from rock debris on a mountain ledge, with the striking similitude to the prow of a great ship, parallel wooden side planking and all. "There were six clear photographs, taken from different angles . . . "I will admit that I had never been much of a Bible believer, but these pictures sure made a believer out of me!"(54) As for Greene himself, like Nouri before him, he failed to interest other parties "in helping to finance an expedition to Ararat to recover the Ark". Eventually transferred to British Guyana, he was "murdered for his gold" on ...
