... ramparts -750 to -630 Ninos-Assyrians ( -1500) ( -1700) Poorly stratified Early plus Middle Bronze I Mysterious shortage of material to cover 1,600 y. (4 ) -950 to -750 ( -1700) ( -3300) Table 4 Post-neolithic stratigraphy of Tel Dan [38]. Note Conventional dates are in brackets (right column). Tentative stratigraphy based dates in terms of ancient Greek historiography are given under strata in underlined italics (centre column). -330 Hellenistic Hiatus of some 1,500 years in Mari's urban stratigraphy is enigmatic because the Hellenistic stratum materially continues the Old-Babylonian strata and Mari is frequently mentioned in texts from other sites [41].

432. Noah's Ark: I - The Ship on Ararat (Part A) [Journals] [Kronos]
... the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Logansport, Indiana. Williams also told the following: "One evening (I am pretty sure it was in 1918) I sat reading the daily paper in our apartment in Brockton. Suddenly I saw in a very small print a short story of a dying man's confession. It was a news item one column wide and, as I remembered it, not more than two inches deep. It stated that an elderly scientist on his deathbed in London was afraid to die before making a terrible confession. It gave briefly the very date and facts that Haji Yearam had related to us in his story."(28) Haji Yearam died at ...
433. The Golden Age and Nova of Super Saturn [Books] [de Grazia books]
... have been both Super Uranus and Saturn, a merging of memories over time also to be found in other cultures. Figure 32. The Chinese Craftsman God and His Paredra Fu Hsi and Nu Kua measure the "squareness of the Earth" and the "roundness of Heaven" with their implements. The god is depicted enthroned atop a serpent-like column arm-in-arm with his mate. It is tempting to suggest that this picture illustrates the situation during the Age of Saturn, with the god-star perched stop the "fiery" electric arc, which rose above the world and faded in the distance into the golden sky. The ancient Persians and others asserted that God created Saturn (whence Saturday) ...
434. Collisions and Upheavals [Journals] [Pensee]
... Kingdom to an end. As they rushed toward the Sea of Passage, the glistening comet, in form like a dragon's head, shone through the tempest of dust and smoke. The night sky glowed brightly as the comet's head and its writhing, serpentine tail exchanged gigantic electrical bolts. The great battle between the fiery comet's head and the column of smoke- between a light-god and a leviathan serpent- was memorialized in primary myths around the Earth. Babylonians tell of Marduk striking the dragon Tiamat with bolts of fire. The Egyptians saw Isis and Seth in deadly combat. The Hindus describe Vishnu battling the "crooked serpent." Zeus, in the account of Appollodorus, struggled with the ...
435. Of Lessons, Legacies, and Litmus Tests: A Velikovsky Potpourri (Part One) [Journals] [Aeon]
... , it is reprehensible for a philosophy professor to enthusiastically endorse Juergens' articles on radiohalos and geogullibility, as Lynn Rose does in AEON II:4 . Juergens' prejudice against gravity in favor of electromagnetism is shared by F.B . Jueneman who showed that he truly does not understand the differences between gravity and electromagnetism in his April 1989 column in R&D . Jueneman wrote, ". .. electromagnetism...for some reason, is considered inferior to and weaker than gravity over distance" [emphasis added]. There is no mystery about this, contrary to what Jueneman implies. The reasons are all very well understood. The problem with electricity is that ...
436. Velikovsky: A Personal Chronological Perspective of His Final Years [Journals] [Aeon]
... this initial encounter that I delight in thinking might have played a catalytic role in some future events. It was 24 March 1972, a few weeks after the much touted launch of Pioneer 10 to Jupiter, that Richard Haines of NASA Ames Research Center and I got together for lunch, and he was given a copy of my most recent column in Industrial Research (now Research & Development) wherein I had mentioned Velikovsky. Haines, whose background is in psychology with emphasis on eye-brain interaction phenomena, was coincidentally at the time reading Worlds in Collision. He was sufficiently impressed with the scholarship of the book so that our conversation turned to the speculation as to whether NASA Ames would ...
437. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the red and went solidly and permanently into the black. Clippings and news stories about the show arrived by the bushel from all parts of the globe. Atwater's success convinced him that people were eager to know about new events in space. He kept scanning the papers. On August 14, 1946, his eye fell upon a science column by John J. O'Neill in the New York Herald Tribune. It was a fateful moment for Atwater and the history of science. A month earlier O'Neill had read and been impressed by the manuscript of a book called Worlds in Collision. His column of August 14th was a favourable summary of Immanuel Velikovsky's ideas. Atwater thought that Velikovsky's ...
438. "Papyrus Ipuwer" and Worlds in Collision [Journals] [SIS Review]
... they are more in Velikovsky's imagination than in the text of the papyrus. The noise and tumult in Ipuwer are sociological rather than geological. In Worlds in Collision (I , ii: "Naphtha"), Velikovsky attributes the burning of buildings to the rain of naphtha: "The Papyrus Ipuwer describes this consuming fire: "Gates, columns and walls are consumed by fire. The sky is in confusion." The papyrus says that this fire almost "exterminated mankind." " The ANET text doesn't have the sky in confusion, and nor, I am told, does Gardiner's complete version. On this point, it would seem, Velikovsky has mixed up his notes ...
439. Shishak, the kings of Judah and some synchronisms [Journals] [SIS Review]
... death of Sennacherib (an approximation.) Note that any shift of the 680BC datum relative to the kings of Judah moves all scales on one side of Fig. 1 up or down relative to the other; it also modifies the year count back to Rehoboam's accession. Fig. 1 (Scale 5cm = 100 years) The left hand column (Rehoboam to Zedekiah) shows the succession of the kings of Judah and their reign lengths, as cited in II Chronicles. The books of Kings confirm both the sequence and the reign lengths of all of them but the inclusion of Queen Athaliah within the 40 years allocated to Joash is a conjecture. The extension of this column upwards ...
440. An Introduction to the Evidence of the Panchasiddhantika [Journals] [SIS Review]
... produces the following spin rates for the Earth, as indicated by his data for the individual planets:* Saturn 360.01 & 360.3 Jupiter 359.99 & 359.9 Mars 360.00 & 359.7 Venus 359.98 & 360.3 Mercury 359.98 & 359.3 [* The two columns of figures derive from the two apparently independent sets of data cited for each planet. Some figures are also cited slightly differently in the individual translations: the figures used to construct this table derive from Neugebauer and Pingree's version. Thibaut's figures change only the second value for Saturn, which becomes 362.3 revolutions per year in place of ...
