... correct by the detailed work of a team from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The existence of vast eddies of water in the vicinity of major ocean currents such as the Gulf Stream has been recorded for nearly 50 years, but only the recent detailed studies have revealed their significance. Eddies in the current frequently break off and move as independent columns of water, or "rings" as seen from above. In the case of Gulf Stream rings these can be up to 300 kilometres in diameter and last for 18 months or more. The conditions of the water within a ring are significantly different from those of its surroundings in salinity, oxygen content and temperature. A difference in ...
632. The Catastrophic Finale of the Middle Bronze Age [Books] [de Grazia books]
... The Middle Bronze finale composed a period of catastrophes certainly over twenty times as heavy as the past 300-year record shows, perhaps hundred times greater, perhaps much more. Even in the works cited, not to mention a hundred lesser compendia, more evidence might be adduced. I am inclined to convert the hypothesis into a challenge. No stratigraphic column, whether geologic or archaeological, can fail to show evidence of natural destruction dating from the middle of the second millennium. BROADER CONSIDERATIONS I shall rest the case for the mid-second-millennium catastrophes and move on to address additional issues. First, I would stress one implications of the works cited. Earthquakes were only a part of the devastations wrought ...
633. Appendices (The Book of Revelation is History) [Books]
... mountains and flaming as with fire .. . (7 ) And from thence I went to another place which was still more horrible than the former, and I saw a horrible thing: a great fire was there which flamed and blazed, and the place was cleft as far as the abyss, being full of great .. . columns of fire: its extent and size I could not see, nor was I able to see its origin. Mankind had been warned of these developments by a divine messenger: (x . 2) A deluge will presently come upon the whole earth, and all that is on it will be destroyed. (i . 6) ...
634. The Sybil and Dr Stecchini [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , is far wider than mine - has other reasons for interpreting Sibyllinischer Sternkampf and Phaëthon the way he does, deriving from an acquaintance with Kugler's other work. But he has not presented them in his contribution to The Velikovsky Affair; if he would like to bring them forward now, I shall be glad to make space available in these columns. If, on the other hand, his conclusions can be derived solely from Kugler's last work, it must be said that, in his attempt to get across what he "wanted to indicate", this great scholar was quite as oracular as the Sibyl herself (and, occasionally, Dr Stecchini!).

635. The Revelation of John (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... . The unknown name' may have some connection with the symbols which men put upon their foreheads and sword-arms, perhaps with the number 666'. The vesture' dipped in blood' is an allusion to the reddish colour of the satellite after ice-coat had been stripped off. The satellite is followed by streamers of debris, interpreted here as columns of divine armies. Verse 19describes aspect of the Tertiary satellite: the beast' Tiamat with her terrible crew of chthonic and other forces. The false prophet' mentioned in verse 20may be an allusion to Apsu, Tiâmat's husband and companion, an earlier aspect of the satellite. After being overcome, the violent activity: the lithosphere, ...
... destruction and burial of the city's Roman remains. The original level of the Newport Arch is buried 8 feet below the present roadway because original debris was not removed. The West Gate in 1836 was found embedded. The Doric Colonnade stood at a depth of about 9 feet 5 inches below the present street, and the reddened hue of the columns, lumps of molten lead, and pieces of charred wood found among the debris lead to the conclusion that the building was consumed by fire. When we have fire in conjunction with the deposit of silt a meteoric origin is justly inferred. In 1884, at a depth of 13 feet below St. Swithin's tower and spire, a ...
... waist by a ring." (Insulae Britannicae, p.213.) It is a cross of an era long pre-Christian and marks the site of some far-distant appulsion in an island once largely inhabited. The Isle of lona may also be mentioned. In the near vicinity of Staffa and its vast natural marine temple of thousands of basaltic columns, traditionally lona is the most sacred centre in Scotland, a tradition long before the coming of St. Columba. There the bones of a great many pre-historic ages lie buried, and it may be described as the Scottish Memphis, with Its "Street of the Dead," a carving in the ruined Cathedral, on the site ...
638. Charting Imaginary Worlds: Pole Shifts, Ice Sheets, and Ancient Sea Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... support of his claim of an ice-free Antarctic coast. In the late forties, several sediment cores were retrieved from deep water in the northern Ross Sea. They are among the earliest Antarctic Ocean cores. A preliminary study of the lithology of three of these cores was published by Jack Hough in 1950. Hough distinguished five sediment types in the column, including three grades of glacial marine sediments, from coarse to fine, and fine-grained, well-sorted sediments, both laminated and unlaminated. The sequence of types is broadly similar in all three cores. Glacial marine sediments are characterized by the presence of subglacial debris, from pebbles to rock flour. Close inshore, subglacial debris may reach the ...
... about 15 degrees north of New Zealand and 10 degrees east. Some time in the end of September 1927 an island, called Falcon Island, appeared in the group as the result of volcanic action, and according to Reuter's Auckland, New Zealand, correspondent had been under observation. "The island stands well above the water, belching great columns of steam and lava to a height of 3 000 feet, and playing for the space of about I minute at 20-minute intervals. It is 1730 yards long and 1 430 yards wide. Its sides slope gradually to the edge of the crater, which is 305 feet above sea level." That, alas! is all we ...
... ) Vast quantity of drowned aphides (green fly) off the coast of Lincolnshire, giving a large tract of the sea a thick, pea-soup appearance. Off the coast of Norfolk a long strip of drowned ladybirds, 2 or 3 miles long and about 10 feet wide (July). (Zoologist, 1869.) (d ) Columns of aphides descended from sky at Bury St. Edmunds, so massed that "they gave off a rank odour, and so dense that, for anybody surrounded by them, it was difficult to breathe." On the same day, at Chelmsford, a similar cloud descended. This town is about 40 miles south of Bury. ...
