... Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1988 No 2 (Jan 1989) Home | Issue Contents Bookshelf Black Athena: The Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization, Volume 1 The Fabrication of Ancient Greece 1785-1985, by Martin Bernal. Free Association Books, 26 Freegrove Road, London N7 9RQ, (1987). A controversial book, fiercely criticised in the correspondence columns of The Guardian, which argues against the standard view that classical Greek civilisation was the product of the conquest of the Greeks by vigorous Indo- Aryan peoples from the north. Bernal notes, instead, that the Greeks derived their ideas from the Egyptians, and he traces the history of the Aryan conquest idea. The Dinosaur Heresies by ...
272. Volcanoes, Earthquakes, Comets. Ch.9 Axis Shifted (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... 30 000 foot cone built from the floor of the deep sea?"1 When, in 1855, Mauna Loa erupted, the lava ran over the land at a velocity of forty miles an hour, faster than a swift horse. In 1883, when the volcanic island of Krakatoa in the Sunda Strait blew off, it sent a column of pumice and ashes over seventeen miles high; it raised tides 100 feet high that carried steamships miles inland and were felt on the eastern coast of Africa and the western coast of the Americas as far as Alaska; it created a noise that was heard in Ceylon, in the Philippines, and even in Japan over three thousand miles ...
273. Herodotus on Thutmoses III and Amenophis III [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... his own name and country, and a sentence to indicate that by the might of his armed forces he had won the victory. . . . Thus his victorious progress through Asia continued, until he entered Europe and defeated the Scythians and Thracians; this, I think, was the furthest point the Egyptian army reached, for the memorial columns are to be seen in this part of the country but not beyond. The problem is that Manetho5 has the name Sesostris as the Greek equivalent of the Egyptian name Senwosret. The information contained in the quotation above, from the Histories of Herodotus, is given by Manetho behind the name of Senwosret II (called by him Sesostris) ...
274. Venus Tablet Anomalies [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the original tablet. The Venus Tablets, as we know them today, have a schematic Venus table separating Years 1 to 17 from the remainder of the text. Its purpose may have been to differentiate between data taken from the Obverse side of the tablet and data taken from the Reverse side. Assuming the Obverse side was divided into four columns, the first could have had Years 1 to 5b, probably with the omens; the second, Years 6 to 8b; the third, Years 9 to 13b; and the fourth, Years 14 to 16b. That arrangement would leave a space after Year 8b for the date-formula and a space after Year 16b for Year 17. ...
275. Apophoreta - 6 [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... From: Catastrophist Geology Year 3 No. 2 (Dec 1978) Home | Issue Contents Apophoreta - 6 After a banquet in ancient Greece, guests used to receive some eatable or drinkable gifts, Apophoreta ( 'things to be carried off'), to take home. In the APOPHORETA column of this magazine, provocative hypotheses are presented, which may serve to stimulate thought and research. If you know of any evidence pro or contra, please let us know. Suggestions and criticism are invited. During the classical period of Alpine geology, around 1900, the existence of nappes was after much controversy finally accepted and integrated in the then prevailing concepts of mountain building. ...
276. Editorial [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 1990:2 issue has proved to be the largest we have ever produced, and it completes five years of Workshops in the A4 format. In those five years, not only has there been an increase in the size and word content of the publication (the latter two-fold), but the finished appearance has become more sophisticated with double columns and, since 1988:2 , a laser printed typeface. As regards contents, Workshops have altered surprisingly little over the years. Certainly Society News has become more detailed and interesting, largely thanks to Jill Abery's skill in recording Society meetings for posterity. The Forum section has been widened in scope to take in not just matters arising ...
277. Spall Ankh in eastern Wyoming [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2000:2 (Dec 2000) Home | Issue Contents Spall Ankh in eastern Wyoming Michael Armstrong, Thu, 19 Oct 2000 This remarkable figure portraying a form of the Ankh, the Polar column, mistakenly called "The Man of The Mountains", was found on the almost insurmountable slope of a rocky hill in "The Spanish Diggings" area near Rawhide Buttes, a miniature mountain range of eastern Wyoming. The figure was laid out in an area "where it was less precipitous than above or below .. It was fifty-five feet long and about eight feet wide, the body looking not unlike a stone walk. The spalls forming the ...
278. The Martian Deluge [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... rewarding to trace its role in geology during the pre-photographic period. Here follows an example from 1763. After recognising the volcanic nature of basalt in Auvergne, Desmarest examined samples and studied two engravings of the. Giants' Causeway in Northern Ireland. Recalling the scenery of parts of Mont Dore, he came to the conclusion that the dark prismatic columns of the Giants' Causeway were also of volcanic origin (2 ). Desmarest had been to Italy, but his knowledge of volcanic forms which he used in Auvergne must originally have come mostly from engravings of volcanoes in southern Europe and elsewhere. It is interesting to note that he did not publish his results until 1774, after a ...
279. Earthquake Lights (U.S. Geological Survey News Release) [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... m ., November 26, 1930. In most of the accounts of the lights from the Idu Peninsula quake, the sky was lit up as if by sheet lightning, with nearly all observers agreeing that the duration of a single flash was much longer than that of lightning. Others described the lights as resembling auroral streamers, beams and columns, fireballs, or as a ruddy glow in the sky, with distances of the lights estimated to be 50 miles to the east of the quake's epicenter, nearly 70 miles to the northeast, and mcre than 40 miles to the west. The lights were seen both before and for some time after the earthquake, but were most ...
280. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... nature of Friday the 13th. A potentially more important omission appears to be the adventures of the prophet Elijah (I Kings 17-21, II Kings 1-2, II Chron. 21). His contest with the prophets of Baal (to generate apparent spontaneous combustion), his experience of a hurricane / earthquake and his final carrying off in a column of fire all appear very relevant to the theme of "Worlds in Collision", yet Elijah's story does not at first sight fit altogether conformably into the picture drawn by Dr Velikovsky. Elijah appears to have lived about 100 years before Isaiah and the "Raash in the days of Uzziah". Was he experiencing the tail end of ...
