... wires, one communicating with the inside, and the other with the outside of the phial, be brought within four or five inches of one another, the electrical spider... will dart from the one to the other in a very surprising manner, till the phial be discharged."[38] It can become almost a column of fire to the naked eye. In the presence of prolonged discharges, an ionized cloud of dust will gather around, concealing the discharge in the daytime at least and making it less visible at night. There are ways of placing an arc apparatus more advantageously to produce electrical phenomena, ways of guarding it, of measuring its potency ...
452. The Dragon in China and Japan by M. W. VISSER [Books]
... , the characteristic symbol of the imperial dignity.2 Four pedestals of the quinquepartite decorative gate at the Imperial Ming tombs "display, on every face, an Imperial Dragon, soaring in the midst of the usual emblems accompanying this divine distributor of fructifying rains, namely clouds and stars."3 The shaft of each (of the four columns in the prolongation of the diagonals of the tablet-house in the avenue leading to the Ming Tombs) is sculptured with a gigantic dragon, coiling itself around it as if climbing the skies."4 With regard to honorary gates De GROOT remarks that the tablet placed perpendicularly underneath their highest roof displaying the characters symbols, "By Imperial Decree ...
453. Chapter 13 Scythian Princes in the Royal Tombs of Ur [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... tent-like structure as in Scythia. Rice describes these tents: "A shaft, often of impressive dimensions, had to be sunk into the virgin soil. Great wooden props were used to strengthen the sides . . . the shaft [was] turned into a chamber by the erection above it of a gabled roof set on massive posts resembling columns. "Once the structure had been completed, its decoration was begun. In southern Russia, the walls of the main chamber were hung either with wicker or rush matting, birch bark, thatch or rugs, whilst at Pazirik felt was used. At Karagodenashkh in the Kuban, on the other hand, frescoes were preferred, and ...
454. Hittites and Phrygians [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the CAH description of the reconquest of Palestine is illuminating.127 The Egyptian first met and defeated a force of Shasu before his army even reached the frontier town of Raphia. The "town of Canaan" (Gaza) was captured, and then followed an unopposed march along the coastal plain into the plain of Jezreel. Seti dispatched one column to relieve Beth Shan, under attack from an alliance that included Hamath and "Phr." A second column marched on Hamath itself and a third on Yenoam. The alliance defeated, Seti nominally reestablished Egyptian over Acre and Tyre, and cut a levy of Lebanese cedar. Inthe next year he campaigned in Amurru (Sumura and Ullaza ...
455. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Five [Books]
... from the sea, and this wave engulfed both the oppressors and the oppressed, all but a very small remnant. Then the taskmasters made the remaining people raise up a great temple, so that they, of the ruling caste, should have a refuge in case of another flood, and on top of this temple the masters worshiped a column of perpetual fire. Half a moon had not elapsed however, before the earth was again troubled, this time with strong convulsions and thunderings, upon which the masters took refuge in their great tower, closing the people out. The poor slaves fled to the Humboldt River, and getting into canoes paddled for their life from the awful ...
456. Evidence of Careenings of the Globe [Books]
... In the central areas the rock floor has been depressed below sea level by the weight of the ice. Antarctica's highest elevation is reported to be approximately 14,000 feet above sea level. Recent depth-recording echo soundings have disclosed that the rock floor, in some central locations, is a mile below sea level. Thus, the maximum ice column may be estimated to be approximately 19,000 feet in height. The resulting pressure on the rock floor is over 7,500 pounds per square inch-over 1,000,000 pounds (500 tons) per square foot at those particular locations, assuming that the ice weighs uniformly 57.5 pounds per cubic foot. To repeat ...
457. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Four [Books]
... text of the Midrash assigns a periodic time of 480 years also to Venus and Mars, but a gloss corrects the figures to those given in the Table. The periodic time of Mercury, however, is for some reason left unaltered. The Midrash also says that until Adam sinned, the planets moved in smaller orbits." The final column of Feldman's table, of course, lists the sidereal periods of the orbits- ie the time taken to complete a circuit of the zodiac with respect to the fixed stars as seen from the sun. These are not the same as the sidereal periods as seen from the earth, which are the periods with which the Midrash figures should ...
458. Chronological Problems in the Archaeology of the Hittites [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and the Memphite necropolis at Saqqara is known to have been filled with New Kingdom tombs dating from the XVIIIth and XIXth Dynasties. It's therefore natural that Horemheb should have constructed his tomb in that area, being associated with Memphis through his military connections; and the architecture of this tomb is of the type known from Amarna itself: the slender columns of the courtyard are the same kind of columns used by Amenhotep III in the large courtyard at Luxor - the architecture of the tomb is in fact XVIIIth-Dynasty rather than of the later period. So I think Horemheb can be linked in that way with the XVIIIth Dynasty. Gammon: As I think I implied towards the end of my ...
459. Mythic Mountains by Isaac Vail [Books]
... (1 Samuel 28:7 ) to whom Saul went for knowledge, got her inspiration from the "Point of wisdom" or "fount of the door" at the pole. But I have wandered afield. "The Sides of the North" is my subject and I want to show that the "sides" were actual fiery columns in the polar sky, the actual sides of the polar door into the uppermost heaven, standing as spectacles to all the northern hemisphere, and we will see later how these sunlit columns were the pillars of Atlas, whom a sun-god turned into a mountain, and were used by that polar deity to prop up the heavens. These ...
460. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... cosmic mountains and, significantly, he carries a large gold cup, probably the Holy Grail of later Christianised myth. This bright light at the top of the mountain is also celebrated by the bonfires lit on hills. I note Phillip equates Orion, another giant, to Nimrod, who was fettered in the night sky and associated with a column reaching into the heavens. This is a perfect description of the fixed god, Saturn. Would a comet hold a position with its tail pointing vertically downwards as seen from Earth long enough to give rise to this all-pervasive mythological image? Bel, or Balor, with his one burning eye, could be a description of a comet but ...
