... with the administrative and economic texts (to be called Archivi Reali di Ebla: Testi) are now in an advanced stage of preparation. The complete texts will naturally fill many volumes; some of the tablets are very large, the largest measuring up to 36 by 33 centimetres (i .e . over a foot square) with 25-30 columns of very close, fine writing, and the publication of a mere 10 or 12 of these will require a volume of 200 pages. Publication of all the tablets is not expected to be completed until after the turn of the century. When this is compared with the time taken to publish texts from Ugarit and Nuzi, it will ...
402. Celestial fireworks [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... are absent from this petroglyph and from many others. This is probably due to stylisation of the subject. Frame 7 of 7. The pedestal which supports the sky and the central sky god is often represented as a tree or as a backbone. This image, taken from a Mesopotamian cylinder seal, shows the winged disc placed atop a column that seems to represent a palm tree. There is no doubt that this column is the cosmic tree, known to numerous cultures in the Old World and the New World alike. In our model the stacked' form of this tree belongs in the phase following the break-up of the enclosure, when the Hero ascends back to heaven. ...
... criticism, is based on the supposition that the ocean bed is closer to the imaginary heated and incandescent inner nucleus of the earth (25), and as the ocean bed frequently yields volcanic particles these are deemed to prove the existence of submarine activity. The sea is sometimes observed to be greatly agitated, heated and discoloured, with rising columns of gaseous fluids, whirlpools and waterspouts in the vicinity, and sometimes jets of fragmentary materia are reported, but only when the result shows that the submarine volcano has at length elevated its cone above the water level is it termed sub-aerial instead of sub-aqueous. Many such occurrences are reported by masters of ships who may be within the locality ...
404. Legends and Miracles [Books] [de Grazia books]
... materials to them - elemental and molecular gases, particles, ice and rocks. Should a large comet-tail pass through the atmosphere, it would deposit its own materials, and combine its materials with those of the earth, not only with normal atmospheric components but also with the discharges peculiar to volcanoes and typhoons or tornadoes. In the major catastrophic columns or typhoons of a comet-earth encounter, therefore, would be discovered a variety of chemicals under turbulent conditions of pressure, heat, and electricity. Picture a vast gaseous and heavy meteoritic fall-out mingling with the eruptions of volcanoes and electrical discharges by the many thousands, and one has the beginnings of a conception of the event. In such ...
405. Theomachy in the Theater: on the Fringes of the Collective Amnesia [Journals] [Kronos]
... called Kagutsuchi, but in the ritual prayers he is always invoked under the name of Homusubi, he who starts fire'." (29) Of further interest and pertinence to our general discussion is the eye-witness account of the Nagasaki atomic bombing described by correspondent William Laurence. From his position in the B-29, Laurence "watched a fiery column shoot two miles into the sky, He began scribbling frantically as the pillar of fire became a living thing, a new species of being, born right before incredulous eyes'. A giant mushroom billowed at the top, even more alive than the towering pillar. It seethed and boiled in white fury like a thousand geysers. In ...
... J. O'Neill, Pulitzer-winning science editor for the New York Herald Tribune, had written a biography of one of Velikovsky's few modern scientific heroes, Nikola Tesla. On the basis of a book review that Velikovsky read, he gave O'Neill a copy of Worlds in Collision. Impressed by what he read, in his August 11, 1946, column O'Neill revealed Velikovskian catastrophism to the public for the first time. According to the "Personal and Otherwise" column of the January 1950 Harper's which exposed Velikovsky's ideas to a much larger audience, in 1940 O'Neill had been the first to discuss the splitting of the atom in a magazine article. So it was fitting that he discussed catastrophism ...
407. Still Facing Many Problems [Journals] [Kronos]
... this the posture to be expected from an organ whose avowed "aim is to bring a rational and objective approach to [Velikovsky's] theories. . ." ? Then, almost three years later - in an almost perverse ironic twist - the SIS "discovered" Bowles, et al. and Kloosterman's second article for the "Horizons" column in SISR IV:4 (1980), p. 83, when they reviewed KRONOS V:4 containing Velikovsky's "The Ocean". They thought "a little updating with respect to the more recent sources would have been desirable, particularly as regards Worzel's deep-sea ash". And when the new introduction to Earth in Upheaval was ...
408. Monitor. C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... controversy about how the Egyptians cut much harder granite. It is doubtful whether copper tools could have done the job and these are the best the pyramid builders are supposed to have had. An aeronautics professor has, however, demonstrated a new method of lifting heavy stones by using kites. A team succeeded in raising a 3.5 tonne column to vertical using kites, but the only evidence' that the Egyptians did it this way is a hieroglyph of 10 men standing under vertical lines below an upper register of the winged Sun disc. The researcher appears to have little knowledge of the mythological roots of sacred symbols, seeing them as derived from utilitarian objects such as the ankh ...
409. For the Record ... [Journals] [Kronos]
... the giant planet, Jupiter. It has a vast atmosphere containing mostly hydrogen, but also some methane, water, and a nitrogen-hydrogen combination called ammonia. Life molecules could be built up out of such an atmosphere .. .. If life forms exist in the comfortable temperature [region of Jupiter], they may be in a rising column that is carrying them upward toward temperatures too cold for active life; or in a sinking column carrying them downward toward temperatures too hot for life of any kind. We might expect that life forms would resist rising too high or sinking too low . . . . And if there is no life on Jupiter, perhaps it may exist ...

... tenente, dictus est, qui rex, ut homines fide digni asserunt, auxilio gigantum, reges Aegyptoru devicit. Visus quoq; est, ut aliqui volut, in Siria, Babylonia, India, in signo capricorni, sub forma rotae, eo tempore, quando filii Israel ex Aegypto in terram promissam, duce ac viae monstratore, per diem columna nubis, noctu vero columna ignis, ut cap. 7.8 .9 .10 legitur profecti sunt." "In the year of the world two thousand four hundred and fifty-three- as many trustworthy authors, on the basis of many conjectures, have determined- a comet appeared which Pliny also mentioned in his second book. It was ...
