... not derived from a visual survey of the standing remains within the confines of the accepted chronology. So Egyptian temples of all periods exhibit unchanging features which derive not from the whims of architects but from the Egyptian view of the functions and significance of a temple. Individual elements within the temple developed dramatically however, and the most marked are the column capitals, column shafts and lintels. During the 30th dynasty a composite floral column capital appeared in temple buildings which was unknown in Ramesses III's time, and is clearly visible in the collonade of Nectanebo I at Philae, which Velikovsky strangely, does not mention. In many of the Ptolemaic temples and their associated "birth houses," ...
222. Dating the "Admonitions": Advance Report [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . - The frontier with Asia is a beaten path, and no longer the source of pride and security it was (3 :1 ; 4:6 ) - not through inadequate provision, but as a result of the growing trading traffic with countries to the north-east. - The fall of Egyptian authority was abetted by an Asiatic fifth column (originally recruited, suspects Van Seters, as frontier police, a policy which was more successful when applied to the Md3yw of the south: 14:14-15:2 ), and by Egyptian collaborators (7 :2-4). None of these find good parallels in the comparable descriptions of the Instructions for Merikare, the Prophecy of ...
223. Thoth Vol IV, No. 2: Jan 31, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... . Cardona stresses that this information is not taken from a single story, but is expressed in hundreds of different ways in hundreds of different stories told over the world. Part III discussed the lithic bulge as a physical remnant of a recent, short-term force acting in the direction of Earth's north pole. Cardona presented mytho-historical evidence for a polar column at Earth's north pole and discussed the theoretical interpretations of several catastrophists. He expressed his personal preference of interpreting the polar column as a Rankine vortex. Part IV concludes this paper. CARDONA: THE ARCTIC CARNAGE Meanwhile, does not this scenario, involving a tornado of planetary proportions, raise even more demands? . . . we are ...
224. Canopy Skies of Ancient Man by Isaac Vail [Books]
... in many tongues. The Talmud says "There is an upright pillar between the upper and lower paradises, and the two are joined together by it, and it is called the strength or Tower of the Hill of Zion", and Dr. Warren has the good judgement to connect this Tower of the heavens with that other mysterious "Column" spoken of in the "Story of Ex the Pamphilian" which tells us of a "Column brighter than the rainbow extending right through the whole heaven and earth". As in the Talmudic Tower, the saints go up and down this column once a week, therein revealing the cycling or rotating wheel and as in the Pamphilian's ...
225. The Photosphere: Is It the Top or the Bottom of the Phenomenon We Call the Sun? [Journals] [Kronos]
... the granulation demonstrates that some photospheric layers at least are in constant turbulent motion" and that this is evidence of convection.(6 ) J. A. Hynek, as director of Dearborn University at Northwestern University, spelled it all out for the non-specialist: "Most astronomers are now fairly certain that these bright cells are the tops of columns of hot gases being rapidly transported from subsolarian' depths to the surface. As they cool, these columns of hot gases begin to sink. And, as an effect of cooling, they lose their brilliance, appear dark by contrast to hot ascending columns . . . It seems that the sun's surface is like a patchwork of blindingly ...
... fissures, new craters on old, parasitic or subsidiary craters, small volcanoes within the region, islands, hot springs, lakes sometimes of naphtha, carbonised and fossilised wood. It will be convenient to examine these in detail, beginning with rain. RAIN ACCOMPANYING ERUPTIONS 31. A volcano as it bursts into eruption produces or attracts a vast column of heated clouds and smoke ascending to a considerable height in the heavens, heavily charged with electricity and many gases, where it spreads out on a similar principle to a waterspout or like a gigantic umbrella. The column or pillar emerging from the orifice, owing to its density, gives an impression of solidity and emits tremendous quantities of ...
227. The Fracture Zones In Deep Polar Ice Cores [Journals] [Aeon]
... not merely a matter of space. The very lowest part of the Camp Century diagram a few pages earlier (pages 20-21) had been allowed to spill over onto a second page (21). For this Camp Century core, there is a full indication of condition. The first of those two pages (20) contains six full columns of diagramed core, and the indications of conditions are squeezed in with no apparent problem. The 1981 Dye 3 diagram (page 35) also has six columns, but there are no indications of conditions. So space limitations are not the entire story here, and the omission of condition reports from page 35 simply remains unexplained. ( ...
228. Jupiter in Collision: in Search of Velikovsky's Comet [Articles]
... It was then that the "mysterious pillar" became the tail of the protoplanet Venus. Velikovsky claimed: "Because of the proximity of the Earth, the comet left its own orbit and for a while followed the orbit of the Earth. The great ball of the comet retreated, then again approached the Earth, shrouded in a dark column of gases which looked like a pillar of smoke during the day and of fire by night and the Earth once more passed through the atmosphere of the comet, this time at its neck." It has been for some time this author's opinion that this "mysterious pillar" is not a comet's tail, but the Earth's north and ...
229. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... henceforth keep them in touch with the progress of Dr Velikovsky's work and of research on related topics, and draw their attention to relevant new books and published discoveries, and to attacks - honourable or otherwise - upon the theories of catastrophism in general, and on Dr Velikovsky in particular. This will be done firstly through the features and correspondence columns of the Newsletter, and secondly through the proposed study groups. Most members of the society may not be aware that - independent of Dr Velikovsky but to a great extent complementary to him - a vast amount of research on catastrophism and the reconstruction of ancient history has been done, particularly since 1950. Professor Claude Schaeffer proved the archaeological ...
230. The Dust-up Over Ice Cores [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... movement in the stratosphere, which is less well known. The most significant global climate effects of volcanic eruptions are related to the atmospheric injection of sulphuric acid and halogen aerosols, whose yield is strongly dependent on magma type and their soluble volatility. Flood-basalt eruptions have the highest potential yield, but their potential climatic impact is diminished by a low column height, where the emitted aerosol is restricted in the main to the troposphere. Volcanic ash does have a role in modifying the Earth's thermal radiation budget (see Fig. 4 for the spread of dust over 22 days from the eruption of El Chichón on April 3rd 1982) but this is short lived because of particle aggregation and a ...
