... the biblical period of the monarchies, 10th-8th century strata are claimed at least to exist in Israel's famous long stratigraphies (e .g ., Megiddo, Gezer, Hazor). However, the strata in question contain remains which elsewhere are dated four to five centuries later, i.e ., around 500- notably the notorious Aeolic columns and capitals as in Megiddo VA-IVB. [* !* Image] Aeolic capital from Megiddo VA-IVB. The stratum is biblically dated to 1050-900, but contains capitals the likes of which are elsewhere stratigraphically dated to the 6th/5th century. Therefore the capitals were christened "Proto-Aeolic." The desperate designation of these prominent architectural features as ...

... also lacked accuracy. In the first line, for first Greeks to reach Egypt' substitute first Greeks to settle in Egypt'. In the first paragraph Psammetichus is portrayed as wresting Egypt from the Assyrians. On the contrary, he was probably allied with them (CAH 3 Pt2, pp. 711, 714). In the second column of the first page it should be noted that Mycenaean contacts with Egypt are generally thought to have begun in the mid-18th Dynasty, not from the beginning of it as Sweeney says, because Crete was the dominant Aegean power up to that time (e .g . BASOR 285 [1992], p. 87 reviewing Aegeans in the ...
543. Super Uranus and the Primitive Planets [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , Juergens (1977c, p28) has calculated the current flowing away from the Sun in a sheet localized close to the ecliptic plane. If this same ion current was once flowing through the electrical channel, then the magnetic field generated was several thousand gauss in strength. Such a field would adequately constrain most of the gases producing a gaseous column or axis between the two stars. Material has been found along the interstellar axis in several binary systems (Batten, 1973a, p5). The absence of an appreciable interplanetary magnetic field despite the magnitude of the electric current represented by today's solar wind is understandable in terms of a planar current sheet model. Figure 10 Magnetic Toroidal Field ...
544. On Mars and Pestilence [Journals] [Aeon]
... lo! there came a phantom,- so it seemed to us onlookers,- of Pallas, with plumed helm, brandishing a spear; and she hurled a rock against the breast of Heracles, which stayed him from his frenzied thirst for blood and plunged him into sleep; to the ground he fell, smiting his back against a column that had fallen on the floor in twain when the roof fell in. Thereon we rallied from our flight, and with the old man's aid bound him fast with knotted cords to the pillar, that on his awakening he might do no further evil. So there he sleeps, poor wretch! a sleep that is not blest, ...

... then be made using available data for the Moon(19). (The conductivity s of dirty ices from which the icy satellite crust is formed is higher compared with rocks, about 10-4 S, ref. 20). The main input in the resistance comes from the outer 175 km; here s = 10-6 S. Then the column with base 1 m2 has resistance ~2 x 1011 W, and all the satellite body ~2 x 2 x 1011/pRs2 W. It gives for Io, 0.04 W; for Europa, 0.06 W, which is close to values needed for I = Imax. Thus Wmax is the right order of ...

... drew along and up, then, water and atmosphere from the extreme northern and southern latitudes. It tilted the globe at the same time. Most animals were asphyxiated during the hours of the withdrawal of air. Simultaneously they were deep-frozen by temperatures reaching in directly from outer space in the range of -150. The intruding body departed. The columns of air and water collapsed, and rushed up to the north and south. The winds and tides collected most of the dead animals, tore up the ground, and finally deposited the remains in a muck that sometimes reaches to 1,000 feet of depth, even to 4,000 feet in one that the Soviets have excavated ...
548. Indra's Theft of the Sun-God's Wheel [Journals] [Aeon]
... ) Although during its phase as the "pupil of the eye" Mars appeared in relative close proximity to Venus, it periodically descended along the polar axis, whereupon it assumed a position ominously close to the planet Earth. It was during this latter phase that Mars presented the appearance of a giant upholding heaven, or of an immense polar column spanning the skies. It is to this scenario, apparently, that traditions identifying Indra as an Atlas-like figure properly relate. (122) Here again it is the Egyptian Shu who offers the closest parallel to the Vedic war-god, the former god frequently being depicted upholding the divine realm of Ra. (123) Now it so happens ...
549. Fire and Ash [Books] [de Grazia books]
... sounding of the vessels Albatross, Galathea, and Verna from different part of the world, they conjectured that the same sub-bottom echoes and possible ash layers existed over much of the globe [16]. Sedimentary mixing would often subdue or annul the echoes. The ash deposits observed by Kuenen and Need and Bramlette and Bradley were mixed through a column of sediments several times the thickness of the original ash bed. In addition to this mechanical mixing, solution may vastly alter the sediment before permanent burial is accomplished. Devitrification and alternation, proceeding at rates dependent on the environment, may transform an ash bed into products whose origin is not readily recognized. "Extensive ash layers are now ...

... he is taking the said specific drug] [Paragraphing occasionally altered]. (10) Velikovsky had come full circle. Two years earlier he had advocated physical treatments for psychic disturbances such as melancholia; now he was suggesting psychological causes for purely physical problems. Some years later, writing as "Observer" in his January 4, 1948 column for the New York Post, he added a collective dimension to the discussion: Londoners had become panicked in 1947 as a result of rumors that a rabbi Korff was planning to bomb the city, even though he had merely planned to drop leaflets protesting against British policies in Palestine, and even though he had been arrested in Paris before ...
