... absolutely clear to the objective reader of this article is that the atmospheric gases left in deposited layers [of snow] do not remain in those layers. Rather, due to gravity, they are diffused downward, tending to accumulate on top of more dense layers or ice below. The accumulating firn [ice-snow granules] acts like a giant columnar sieve through which the gravitational enrichment can be maintained by molecular diffusion. At a given borehold, the time between the fresh fall of new snow and its conversion to nascent ice is roughly the height of the firn layers in [meters] divided by the annual accumulation of new ice in meters per year. This results in conversion times ...
... its not worth the effort to work on odd subjects. Scientists also have to waste time refuting stories that are fabricated by someone and foisted upon the public as science. One example is the missing day story. This story has recently appeared in a number of newspapers and has had other widespread circulation. It has been reprinted in tracts and columns by various personalities. In Dallas, Texas, a Channel 8 newsman circulated copies of the story with his picture at the top of the page. To the man in the street, the story appeared plausible and from a reliable source. The story concerns a NASA computer group and some calculations being performed on the past and future movements ...

... , the ancient beds of streams, rivers, and brooks can be recognized which at one time watered the present desert region in a gigantic network."38 But today, this region of the Sahara is described by Schenk as: ". .. a gloomy and often almost inaccessible country. This dead and silent mountain, range with columns, precipices, eroded rock bastions, with thousands of cavities and ravines, seems to have been lifeless.... The Tassili-n-Ajjer... presents a terrible view from the air: The mazes of jumbled rocks are weathered so regularly that they resemble gigantic but deserted blocks of houses with a network of exactly divided streets which no ...
604. Nova of Super Uranus and Ejection of the Moon [Books] [de Grazia books]
... trade of material for electric charge. Uranus Minor, much more heavily charged, deposited charge upon the Earth. The new electrical energy was incorporated by the molecules of the Earth. Their internal (atomic) bonds were stretched. A very large amount of energy was required by the chemical bonds and supplied athermally [89] by a huge column or front of lightning bolts blasting a swath into the sky during the pass-by. That heating which occurred was concentrated at the interface of crust and mantle and at the bottom of the moon basin. In adjusting its figure following the ejection the remaining land mass fractured and the Earth expanded by about twenty per cent (de Grazia, 1981 ...
605. The Dynasty Of Priests. Part 2 Ch.1 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... a great plain, about forty miles northeast of Shiraz, in front of a steep mountain, Darius erected a platform of stones, some of which measure fifty feet in length, approached by a staircase wide enough for a troop of ten horsemen to ride up. On the platform he built a royal palace and a hall of a hundred columns for royal audiences. The walls of the staircase are adorned by bas-reliefs showing the royal guard composed of equal numbers of Persian and Median nobles or "immortals"; other bas-reliefs show the nobles of the conquered nations paying homage to the king of Persia, or King of Kings, on New Year's Day, when with great festivity the ...
606. On Language, Art, And Religion. Part I Ch.4 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... Yoyotte, "Un souvenir des campagnes de Ramses III au Temple d'Edfou" in "Trois notes pour servir à l'histoire d'Edfou," in Kêmi, XII (1952). Reciprocal Influence of Persian and Egyptian Religion and Art Of Persepolis the magnificent staircases remain, but of the palaces and temples on the great platform only a forest of single columns and many portals rise above the ground. The walls have been reduced to dust. The portals usually carry on the lintels the design of Mazda (Ormuzd) represented by a human head placed over a disc-the planet Jupiter; the disc has long wings-the god is flying on stretched wings. The same design minus the head of Mazda, ...
607. Continental Tropism and Rafting [Books] [de Grazia books]
... sialic rock randomly distributed as islands around the globe. Such sediments scarcely exist. Or they are unrecognizable as such. The sediments of the oceans are less than a kilometer deep on the average. Call them a kilometer; double this to match the disproportion of sea to land; and multiply this volume 35 times. The result, a column over all the land of 70 kilometers, far exceeds the present continental sediments (if the only source of these is oceanic sediments) nor does it appear in any large sedimentary masses distinct from the indigenous continental mass. The present mass of sedimentary rocks is about 32,000 X 10 20 grams. It is about 5% of ...
608. Thrusting and Orogeny [Books] [de Grazia books]
... looked at the permanence of being and Heraclites at its eternal flux. Where in the world is the remaining virgin land of Pangea? If one is to believe surveys of the presence around the world of all the conventional geological ages, the answer is "practically nowhere." Perhaps 2% of the world's land can claim a full geological column. The ages are either a fiction, or the victims of quantavolution. Still, even at this early stage of quantavolutionism, when few minds - and even fewer resources - have been brought to bear on the issues, it appears that by employing only a modest increment of time, quantavolution can move from the absurd to some respectable ...

... with the Sumerians and the Chaldeans, two civilizations occupying roughly the same territory at different times, yet there is plenty of evidence and documents for the earlier Mitanni, but almost nothing for the later Medes. Michael Roaf discusses all that is attributed to the Medes: "A fortress at Tell Gubba in the Hamrin region and a building with columned halls at Tille Hüyük on the Euphrates in southern Turkey have been attributed to the Medes, . . ." 31 With regard to their sites, Oppenheim admits, "the Medes — left us but scanty archeological evidence."32 As Charles Burney explains, "In all three [sites] are buildings which can plausibly be associated ...
610. Twelfth Or Fourth Century?. Part I Ch.1 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... Medinet Habu in western Thebes-they deal mainly with his military exploits. He left also texts on papyri. The largest of the latter is contained in the so-called Great Papyrus Harris, now in the British Museum-the longest papyrus in existence. It is a magnificent document, not a scribal copy, 133 feet long by 164 inches high, comprising 117 columns of hieratic writing or fluent script used mostly for religious texts.[1 ] This document has the character of the king's last will and testament, and it has also been argued that it was composed in the names of Ramses III by his son and successor-though not first-born-known to modern historians as Ramses IV.[2 ] The king ...
