... For instance, the hypothetical Bermuda intruder would theoretically account for all the coal, gas and oil of Appalachia and the North American continental shelves by instant burning in passage, deep burial and dampening upon impact folding, and tidal land thrusts and water flooding. Even cutting back its diameter to 280 km, the intruder upon impact would raise a column of vapor and debris that easily could measure one thousand miles in diameter at the base, and possibly larger at the top after the fashion of the atom bomb explosions. This column might tower something like five thousand miles above the earth, the higher particles doomed to float out beyond the reach of gravity for all time... ...
212. The Biblical 40-Years Periods [Journals] [SIS Review]
... us look firstly at how often it is used in the OT, to get an indication as to whether it is a normal naturally-occurring number, or if its frequency looks unnatural. 2.2 All the 40s in Perspective Based on Nelson's Concordance [5 ], all references to the numbers 30 to 50 were grouped in accordance with the columns (Table 1). Instances where 40 refers to periods of time such as days, weeks, months or years are identified separately in the table. If 40 was always used as a natural number, we would expect it to occur roughly as often as the numbers 35 to 39 and 41 to 45. This clearly is not ...
213. Stiebing, BAR, and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... ). Earlier in the document reference is made to Assuruballit's grandson Karahardash, son of his daughter Muballitat-Sherua. Karahardash was Assuruballit's grandson, not Kurigalzu the younger referred to as mar of Burnaburiash. The text nowhere states, requires or "indicates" that Muballitat-Sherua was the wife of Burnaburiash. Yet you state in your letter to Whelton that "Column 1, line 19f of the Synchronistic History indicates that Asshur-uballit was the father of Muballitat-Sherua, the wife of Burnaburiash". You have also managed to get the line number wrong: lines 19f deal with the later time of Enlil-nirari. Then you say: "This synchronism is confirmed by Babylonian Chronicle P, Obv. I, lines ...
214. Astronomy and Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... ; Menophres is unknown, if he is anyone at all; Manetho's list of dynasties is a bewildering maze. Yet the chronology of Egypt is erected upon these three "pillars" and the history of the world is built on this chronology. A Chart Covering the Period Discussed in "Ages in Chaoe," Volume One The right hand column (The Revised Egyptian Chronology) and the center column (Biblical Chronology) have contacts in every generation, all together an inexhaustible score of links. There is no single link between the column at left representing the accepted version of Egyptian chronology and the column in the center (Biblical Chronology). Even the time of the Exodus of ...
215. The SIS Tenth Anniversary Tour of Egypt - Report [Journals] [SIS Review]
... reverence reserved for the great Gothic cathedrals of Medieval Europe, with the cloudless blue sky vaulted above our heads. A short walk along the causeway took us to the entrance of the Unas pyramid. Again we penetrated the darkened passage which leads into the underworld to find ourselves in a chamber covered from wall to ceiling in inscriptions. The blue columns of hieroglyphs in the burial chamber form the spells, hymns and prayers which comprise the Pyramid Texts - the Unas version being one of the earliest records of rites associated with the afterlife to have been found. The party took a well-earned rest in the Great Court of the Zoser step pyramid (3rd Dynasty) before heading off to look ...
216. Maya Cosmos: A Saturnian Interpretation [Journals] [Aeon]
... dust" which "stretched across the face of Saturn, creating the visual image of an equal-limbed cross." [13] Talbott calls this the Radiant Venus, while the four-fold appearance became mythologized as the Four Rivers, Four Pathways, Four Pillars, as well as the Four Cardinal directions of the world, the cosmos. The polar column, which Talbott envisions as "a stream of gas or material stretching from Mars toward the polar region of the Earth," [14] would have been seen as the trunk of the fourfold World Tree. Thus Mary Miller and Karl Taube could claim that: "In Mesoamerican thought the cardinal directions were associated with a broad spectrum ...
217. Ice Cores and Common Sense (Part II) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... flow line and then allow for variations in the bedrock, first separately, and then in combination. This is neither loose nor arbitrary. And the discrepancies are not so alarming. To show this, I reproduce their table (Table 2). In general, the complexity and sophistication of the modeling increase from left to right, from columns a1 to column d. The "experimental ages" down to a depth of 900 meters ice equivalent come from the count of annual layers. You will notice that the accuracy of the theoretical dating increases from left to right and is pretty well bang on, right down to that depth. Below 900 meters, only a few short ...
218. Prehistory and Earth Models [Books]
... Sr86 ratio of 0.708 0.001. While this was proposed largely as a short cut to analytic determinations of age, this ratio itself has been proposed as a measure of age by Walling and used by Wickman to compute the age of certain marine sediments' [Rankama, 1954].This ratio decreases downward in the geological column' as a result, no doubt, of the zone-melting effect described in Chapter II along with the Sr8 7/Sr86 discrepancy. Empirical Chronometry: Another empirical approach developed in order to improve the use of the Rb8 7/Sr87 method is the so-called whole rock' method. In analyses of the separate minerals of rocks suitable for ...
219. Floods and Tides [Books] [de Grazia books]
... descend was more difficult. As Kofahl has clearly shown, so heavy a deluge in the short period of forty days might practically wipe out the surface of the Earth [4 ]. So, as already indicated, we relied upon a few bits of evidence to consider and adopt the typhoon mechanism, having the waters streaming down in thick columns dispersed around much of the globe. This would have the advantage of letting much of the Earth go relatively unscathed. An average of one typhoon for every 100 square miles on the globe's surface would provide all the new water needed to cover the continental slopes and shelves. Preceding and successive deluges would make less severe the requirement. So ...

... 207Pb; 232Th/208Pb Th/a ; U/a ; and 2ospb/207pb with original, non-radiogenic lead indexed by the "Common Lead Index , CLI, 2o4pb. CLI is, and always has been, nothing but a guess as also has been the `geologic time clock' based on the Jeffreys-Holmes dating of the geologic column. Leads 206, 207 and 208 are the daughter nuclides; their relative abundances have heretofore been simply guesses. By careful consideration of the lead ratios in iron meteorites, e.g ., those of "Canyon Diablo" there is a movement today to change the composition of "common lead", CL. All U, ...
